HARDWARE COST CONTROL AT MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY Microchip Technology , a maker of microchips for cars, appliances, computer equipment and security systems, said it would cut its work force by 12 percent, or about 400 employees, and trim production by 24 percent. "We're seeing a slowdown across all segments of our business," Gordon Parnell, the chief financial officer, said. The company, based in Chandler, Ariz., has also deferred, from June 2002 to December 2002, the start of operations at a manufacturing plant it acquired last summer in Puyallup, Wash. Mr. Parnell said Microchip Technology expected to report sales of $161 million for the first quarter of 2001, off 15 percent from $190 million in the prior quarter. Catherine Greenman (NYT)

Supreme Court is set to hear case centered on whether Milford, NY, public school discriminated against Good News Club, church-run youth group, by refusing to let it hold after-school meetings; school holds that club, which evangelizes children ages 5 to 12, is aimed at establishing religion, and therefore violates not only school policy but also United States Constitution; club holds that school violated its First Amendment right to free speech; Good News Club, run by group of born-again believers called Child Evangelical Fellowship, whose sole stated purpose is to evangelize children and establish them as members of Christian churches, operates 4,622 clubs in this country and others in 142 nations; fellowship says it meets in more than 5000 schools nationwide, and it routinely offers legal help to clubs refused access (M)
