DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
[Editor's plea: These reports are a core element in my attempts at
fulfilling President Yardley's mandate in 1994 to set up a newsletter. I
therefore plead with department heads or their representatives to send me
material about their departments. Last year I had a significant response
regarding graduate programmes and students in them--none this year. I
realise that chairs' duties are onerous but I would still urge them to take
the time to let their colleagues know about their departments.]

............................................................................
CALL FOR PAPERS
The organizers of the WCC panel at the 1994 APA/AIA Annual Meeting, "Women
and Slaves in Classical Culture," are seeking additional contributions for
a volume of essays on the same topic. The volume will include the papers
delivered at the panel and others that explore the ways in which these two
marginalized groups resembled, differed from, and overlapped with one
another in both the cultural representations and the social realities of
the ancient mediterranean world. Questions to be considered include:
intersecting conceptions of otherness, strategies for creating and
resisting social and political marginalization, social identity and the
body, relations between women and slaves in both public and private
settings, the sexual politics of gender and status, the implications of
ethnicity. Papers that bring contemporary theory to bear on ancient
material and/or that situate specific instances in a larger context of
ancient attitudes and practices are especially encouraged.
Potential contributors should submit a draft of their paper or a 3-5 page
abstract by November 1, 1995. The final versions of accepted papers will
be due on June 1, 1996. Submissions and inquiries can be addressed to
either Sandra Joshel, New England Conservatory, 290 Huntington Avenue,

ATLAS OF THE GREEK AND ROMAN WORLD
PROGRESS REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 1995
The A.P.A. Classical Atlas Project has continued to maintain its progress
towards 1999 publication by Princeton University Press and Scholars Press.
During the past year the Project Office in Chapel Hill has had to relocate,
and the cartographers at R.R. Donnelley have been reorganized as Geosystems
Global Inc., but neither of these changes has caused delay. Dr. Mary
Downs continues as Map Editor (full-time), and Susan Jenny as Project
Manager (half-time). Several important developments have occurred:
1. Almost all maps at the larger of the two standard scales (1:500,000)
have been submitted. Consequently the compilation of core regions such as
Italy, Eastern Algeria-Tunisia, the Aegean, Western Turkey,
Syria-Israel-Jordan, and the Nile Valley is either completed, or very close
to that point. Of the three large-scale maps at 1:150,000, Bosphorus is in
production at Geosystems, and Roma and Attica will soon follow. The first
overview map at 1:5,000,000 (India) has been submitted on schedule, and is
now being reviewed.
2. The Geosystems computer team's experience in producing the first map at
1:1,000,000 (Ctesiphon) during the final quarter of 1994 indicated that the
breakdown of data for scanning could be undertaken more effectively and
economically in the Project Office. In consequence a procedure for this
work had been developed and successfully implemented for the next maps at
this scale. For further speed and economy, Geosystems was authorized to
prepare as a set all the digitized physical bases for the maps at
1:1,000,000 scale (80 pages in total), rather than preparing each one
individually when the relevant compilation arrives for production. This
major task is currently in its final stages.
3. The Atlas layout has been improved in a variety of ways. The entire
Peloponnese is now encompassed within a double spread, coverage of Egypt is
expanded to include more oases, excessive overlap in the presentation of
Eastern Turkey is eliminated, and the equivalent of three pages has been
added to provide continuous coverage at 1:1,000,000 from south-east of the
Caspian Sea to Bactria. The decision to make this final extension was only
taken once it was established that materials at hand could be drawn upon
exclusively (without the need to obtain further base sheets or create
mosaics), and that the additional compilers would be scholars already
familiar with the Project. With these adjustments, the Atlas will now
offer a total of 98 maps spread over 173 map pages. A new locator outline
is in preparation.
The enthusiastic response to the display of maps and their accompanying
Directories (all in proof) at the Atlanta APA/AIA Joint Meeting was most
encouraging. There will be another, more extensive display at the San
Diego meeting, in which the three scales 1:150,000, 1:500,000 and
1:1,000,000 will all be represented. During the year several other
displays and presentations were mounted to enlarge awareness of the
Project, most notably for the Chapel Hill meeting of the Classical
Association of Middle West and South, the 75th anniversary session of the
Union Academique Internationale in Prague, the 21. Internationaler
Papyrologen Kongress in Berlin, and the Copenhagen Polis Centre. A
co-operative agreement had been reached with the Centre: the Atlas will
contribute an essential cartographic dimension to its work, while the
Centre can offer an exceptionally full database of poleis of the archaic
and classical periods. Groups of compilers met for discussion in Germany
(twice) and England, as well as at the Atlanta Joint Meeting. The British
Museum now holds a set of specimen materials for compilers to consult.
The Project's 1993-95 NEH match target of U.S. $239,261 was supplemented by
$14,700. Thanks to donors' generosity, it proved possible to claim the
total of $253,961 before the end of the grant period on July 31, 1995, and
in fact to raise a further $81,650. New awards came from the Arete,
Barrington, Earhart, Florence Gould, Andrew W. Mellon, and Malcolm Hewitt
Wiener Foundations, Scholars Press, and the Hetty Goldman Fund (AIA). For
the three years commencing August 1, 1995 NEH has awarded $130,000 in
outright funds and $500,000 in match. The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation
has already contributed to meeting this formidable target, but it is clear
that vigorous fresh efforts are needed to keep the Project moving forward
through the stages when its costs are inevitably at their highest, with
more and more maps reaching production stage. In addition to raising
$500,000 to claim the federal match, at least another $500,000 is required
to ensure punctual completion of the Project. It is vital that this
support be secured to create a tool that will have such lasting, widespread
value for reference, research and teaching.

Musaios Upgrade: Announcing Version 1.0d for Windows, Windows 95, and
Windows NT [see *CCB/BCEA* 1.9 (1994-95)]
We are pleased to announce the release of Version 1.0d of Musaios for TLG
CD-ROM #D and PHI CD-ROM's #5.3 and #6. This version corrects several bugs
and adds several features. In addition to the 16-bit version for Windows
3.1x, there is now a 32-bit version, in order to take advantage of the new
Windows 95, as well as Windows NT. The 32-bit version is slightly faster
than the 16-bit version on Windows 95, and appreciably faster on Windows
NT.
NEW FEATURES: Musaios 1.0d now supports multiple Greek fonts
simultaneously. .... LIMITATIONS: Musaios 1.0d does not yet have the
ability to export or print a list of all the results generated by a search.
.... One item which has remained the same, despite many requests for a
change, is the amount of text which can be exported via the Windows
Clipboard .... this is a legal rather than a technical issue.
AVAILABILITY: Musaios 1.0d is available electronically via FTP as a free
upgrade and thus will work with the same registration number as previous
versions. The 16-bit version will work on Windows 3.1x, Windows 95, or
Windows NT 3.5x. The 32-bit version will work on Windows 95 or Windows NT
3.5x; while this version may work with Win32s, there is no known benefit
from doing this. Both versions may be installed simultaneously in the same
directory. Due to the number of new files which are required, there is no
upgrade package separate from the full program. To obtain the new version,
obtain either "mus10d.exe" (16-bit) or "mus10d32.exe" (32-bit) from
/pub/vendor/musaios at ftp.cerfnet.com (be sure to use the "binary" mode
throughout the transfer process). After ensuring that you have a backup
copy of your current Musaios version in case something goes wrong, execute
this file, which is a self- extracting archive, in a temp directory (e.g.
c:\temp) then run the setup.exe which was extracted. If you have problems
with the upgrade, please contact Randall Smith at rsmith1@cerfnet.com for
help.

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES (NEH), USA
As you may know, the National Endowment for the Humanities, of the USA, is
facing certain difficulties. I have relevant information, gleaned mainly
from the classics list, and I shall be "delighted" to send the file to
anyone who requests it. It is impossible to reproduce any of this in this
context.
