  • 1 Colophon: the Friends of the SMU Libraries: the First Twenty Years By
    1 Colophon: The Friends of the SMU Libraries: The First Twenty Years By Michael V. Hazel In the fall of 1970 Southern Methodist University celebrated its fifty-fifth anniversary. From a small college on a weed- choked prairie several miles north of downtown Dallas, it had developed into one of the major centers of learning in the state of Texas, with an outstanding faculty and a student body numbering close to 10,000. The university's growth had been paralleled--had, in fact, been made possible--by the development of its libraries. The Bridwell Library, serving Perkins School of Theology, had recently added a wing, and under the leadership of Librarian Decherd Turner had begun acquiring the rare volumes and early examples of fine printing which would bring its collections national renown. A new four-story wing had just been added to Fondren Library, greatly expanding shelf space for the central library, as well as creating new reference and reading areas. The Underwood Law Library opened its doors that fall of 1970, providing law students for the first time with a spacious, modern facility. 2 With the libraries' physical plant so greatly improved, attention turned to the collections themselves. Through the fiscal inflation of the late 1960s, the cost of books and periodicals had escalated, and it was clear that the university's budget could not meet all the libraries' needs. The libraries needed friends. And because SMU represented such an important cultural and educational resource to the Dallas community, it seemed only logical to look to that community for support.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

For ten points, what's the common word? (Relief) 2) With a population of 30,000 and an area of only 2.5 square miles, it has an economy that rests mainly on light industry, tourism, shipping and the important British naval and air bases there. A 1967 referendum in this self-governing British Colony showed overwhelming opposition to a return to Spanish rule. For ten points, name this famous Mediterranean colony, located at the tip of the Iberian peninsula, which was captured from Spain in 1704. (Gibraltar) 3) An organic compound with the fonnula CIOH12N20, it is a neurotransmitter which is chemically similar to auxin. However, this chemical serves a very different purpose in the human body. When production is suppressed (for example, by LSD), the result is vivid hallucinations. For ten points, what is this compound, whose absence allows dreaming to occur in humans, and whose presence has been found to increase blood pressure?
