(c) 1995-96 CAC ESSAY COMPETITION
I present the results of the 1995-96 CAC essay competition. A total of
eleven essays were submitted, three in French and eight in English. The
essays submitted represented a good range of the subdisciplines of
Classics, and the contributions ranged from first-year civilization
courses to fourth-year seminars.
First Prize: Kenneth J. Thompson (York University) for "The Formation of
Social Attitudes concerning Social Mobility in Roman Society, 60 to 140
A.D."
Second Prize: Jay Gamble (University of Waterloo) for "`Cursed Spite:' The
Precarious Heroism of Virgil's Aeneas"
Third Prize: Genevieve Bourbonnais (University of Ottawa) for "Pergame:
protectrice de la culture grecque. Etude de la frise nord-ouest du Grand
autel de Zeus"
Honourable Mention: Marie-Claire Goyer (Memorial University of
Newfoundland) for "Murder Most Macedonian"
The essays submitted were all of excellent quality, but the first prize
winner stood out by virtue of his thorough analysis and clear exposition
of a complex subject. The author based his arguments upon the ancient
sources, with careful attention to the social positions and inherent
social biases, and also made judicious use of relevant and recent modern
authorities on the subject. The result is not only a contribution to
scholarship on perceptions of social mobility derived from literary
sources of the period from 60 to 140 A.D., but also a starting point for
future investigations of related social concerns.
The essay awarded an Honourable Mention was unique in its integration of
modern parallels with ancient evidence. In this judge's opinion, it is
important to acknowledge the contributions such as this, which provide
fresh insights upon ancient problems from a non-specialist's perspective.
I attribute the relatively low numbers of essays submitted for the 1995-96
contest to the somewhat late advertising last year as a result of the
"changing of the guard," and expect that the number of essays will rise
this year, when we will be able to advertise the contest earlier (i.e.,
during the term, when instructors are marking essays). I have already
received one submission.

The Fourth Australian Women in Archaeology Conference
Cairns, Far North Queensland
3 July 1997 - 6 July 1997
The fourth "Women in Archaeology Conference" is to be held in Cairns - the
frontier to Far North Queensland and Cape York Peninsula - an area often
seen as a frontier for debate on cultural influences and commercial
expansion.
The "Women in Archaeology Conference" is at the frontier of feminist
research into the archaeological discipline. It provides opportunities to
share viewpoints, discuss concerns, identify positive objectives and to
develop new initiatives that improve recognition of the contribution of
women to the archaeological record and to archaeological research.
This conference aims to push back the frontier of women in archaeology by
setting new directions for the future. From the basis of what has been
achieved to date, directions for the next four years will be developed by
identifying achievable objectives, specific tasks and measurable results
-- in other words, the development of a four year plan of action. To do
this, there is a need to review what we have achieved to determine how we
will progress. The conference will provide a focussed forum by presenting
the past, present and future in two sections:
SECTION 1: The past and present - what has been achieved since the first
conference in 1991
How is feminist thought pervading archaeological discourse,
theory, methodology, etc.?
Have we developed a feminist methodology?
How has archaeology become engendered?
How have workplace issues been addressed?
Is gender being discerned in the archaeological record?
How are indigenous women's concerns being addressed by the community,
archaeologists and government cultural heritage managers?
SECTION 2: The future -- the four-year plan
Where do we want to be in four years time?
What needs to happen? Types of activities that will achieve the
objectives.
How can it be made to happen? Identification of specific goals, aims and
projects.
Who can make it happen?
"Feminism on the Frontier" aims to present ideas in varied formats. You
may wish to present and read a paper or you may think of a different way
to share your knowledge to encourage participation and to provoke
discussion -- group discussions, theatre, forums, posters, poetry, song.
Let's change the way conferences are run and put the conference forum on
the "frontier".
If you would like to organise a session, present a paper, poster or visual
experience please contact Jillian Comber or send abstracts/ideas to:

Only those non-Canadian positions that have yet to appear in that forum
will be listed here.
--------------------------
(a) CHANCELLOR COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF MALAWI
The Department of Classics at Chancellor College, University of Malawi,
welcomes applications for two two-year positions (renewable), at the level
of Lecturer or above, for the academic year beginning in January, 1998.
Applicants must have completed or be nearing the completion of their
Doctoral dissertation and should ideally be able to demonstrate
substantial teaching experience. Strength in Latin and Greek instruction
would be particularly advantageous. Otherwise, those with a background in
Ancient History, Classical Literature, Mythology, Linguistics, and/or
Philosophy would be welcome. The department is currently unable to include
in its curriculum the more technically specialized fields such as
Archaeology, Epigraphy, Papyrology and so forth.
All potential candidates should, before application, consider the
implications of the University's employment terms: the salary range of a
Lecturer is from 67,500 Malawi Kwacha (MK) to MK124,358. That of Senior
Lecturer is from MK113,153 to MK143,591; Associate Professor: MK127,485 to
MK161,078; Professor: MK131,333 to MK197,325. These annual salary figures
are augmented by a non-taxable Professional allowance of MK1,971 per
month. The Malawi kwacha is currently exchanged at about 15 kwacha to one
U.S. dollar, which means that the annual salary of a well-paid Lecturer is
around US$7,200. The University does, however, also provide a two or three
bedroom house, with basic furnishing; air passage here and return for the
staff member and his/her family, with reasonable household baggage
allowance; an Education allowance for the tuition of children. Although
the salary figures seem very low by First World standards, it _is_
possible to live in reasonable comfort for the duration of one's contract.
Those who recognize this advertisement from last Fall should note that the
salary figures have been increased by about 80% since that time, while the
kwacha has remained stable against major foreign currencies.
Interested candidates should send: a copy of their most recent CV,
including the FAX numbers and e-mail addresses of three referees and a
cover letter demonstrating sincere interest in teaching classics in Malawi
to:
Dr. Henri de Marcellus, Head
Department of Classics
Chancellor College
P.O. Box 280
Zomba, Malawi (East Africa)
They should also arrange for three confidential letters of reference to be
sent separately to the same address. It would be best if applications were
to be posted by June 1, 1997, though those posted after that date may
still be considered.

The Classics Department at Emory University invites applications for a
one-year replacement position in Classics at assistant professor rank

[5] DEPARTMENT AND SOCIETY REPORTS
(a) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY
As part of its commitment to making the most of technological
developments, the Department of Classics at McMaster University would like
to draw attention to the following:
i.) This summer, the Department (in conjunction with the Centre for
Continuing Education) is presenting a pair of mini- courses:
AutoCad for Archaeologists I is a nine session course designed to teach
archaeologists the basics of using AutoCad to draw objects, buildings, and
site plans in 2D and 3D.
AutoCad for Archaeologists II is a nine session continuation of
instruction which focusses on more sophisticated drawing and rendering
techniques as well as customizing AutoCad for specialized purposes
(including site documentation).
Both courses will be taught by David Meadows.
For more information, contact either:
Carmen Camillieri
classics@mcmail.cis.mcmaster.ca
or:
David Meadows
dmeadows@mcmail.cis.mcmaster.ca
dmeadows@inforamp.net
ii.) To fill a great void in the world of scholarly mailing lists, and as
a precursor to further activities, the Department has also set up a
mailing list devoted to epigraphy:
EPIGRAPH-L is a scholarly discussion list devoted to the study of
Classical Epigraphy. It will provide a forum for all aspects of such
study, ranging from the discussion of specific inscriptions and problems
associated with them, to announcements of conferences and colloquia (and
perhaps even summaries of papers presented), to notices of publication of
appropriate monographs and journals, to whatever else seems to be germane
to the study of epigraphy. And while the primary focus of the list is the
discussion of inscriptions from the Greek and Roman worlds, discussion of
inscriptions from 'peripheral cultures' is also welcome. It is hoped that
the list will serve as a clearing house to link members of the
'epigraphical community' worldwide and as such, the 'official' language of
the list is English, but contributions are also welcome in French, German,
and Italian.
To subscribe to EPIGRAPH-L:

The Fondation Humanitas
The Fondation Humanitas is a fund that was created in Quebec City in 1988
to promote Greek and Latin classics and to encourage the study of pure
humanities: literature, philosophy, history and patristics.
The mission of the Fondation Humanitas is to raise funds to finance
various projects, including the introduction of intensive Latin and Greek
language courses and the presentation of plays or recitals from the

(d) PROBLEMS WITH BODLEIAN CLASSICS READING ROOMS
We are having some problems with a proposal from the Bodleian to move the
Classics Reading Rooms for a year in 1998- 9 to the basement of the Law
Library while Duke Humfrey's Library is having its death-watch beetle
eradicated. This would separate the Classics collections from the rest of
the library -- including, for instance, the Patristics material, and the
material from Duke Humfrey's itself -- and cause a great deal of trouble
for the Faculty at a time when the Ashmolean Library will also probably be
in turmoil because of the building of the Sackler Library. We have made
some alternative suggestions, and we suspect the new Director of Library
Services is sympathetic, but it would help to have some outside support in
our campaign. If colleagues in the UK and outside who are familiar with
the Bodleian could drop a short (polite!) email to the Director of Library
Services and Bodley's Librarian, Reg Carr (reg.carr@ulib.ox.ac.uk),
expressing concern at the proposals, and hoping that a way could be found
to keep the Classics Reading Rooms in the main library, it would be very
much appreciated. We don't want to make too much of this at this stage,
but the more expressions of concern he receives, the more chance we have
of not being exiled to outer darkness. If you could copy any messages sent
to myself (Don.Fowler@Jesus.ox.ac.uk) and Chris Pelling
(christopher.pelling@lithum.ox.ac.uk), we would much appreciate it: either
of us would be very happy to provide any further information.

[9] STUDY PROGRAMS AND TRAINING EXCAVATIONS
LEARN LATIN AT LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO THIS SUMMER!
The Department of Classical Studies is offering a full year of
introductory Latin (LATIN 131-132) in six weeks (from 30 June 1997 - 8
August 1997). The class will meet five times a week, four hours a day, at
Loyola's Lakeshore Campus right beside Lake Michigan.
Students will learn all the basics of Latin so that, by the end of the
course, they will be able to read Latin texts and be ready to enter
standard intermediary college Latin courses at Loyola or elsewhere.
Class time will be divided between the introduction of new material,
practice, and review of familiar material. Two instructors will be
available for much personal attention.
Tuition of $1,950.00 covers the six credits of what amounts to a regular
two-semester (or one-year) course.
