The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans announces funding
opportunities for graduate study. Visit the web site at
http://www.pdsoros.org for more information.

About the Fellowhships:

The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans are for graduate
study in the professions and academic disciplines at any institution of
higher education in the United States. The Fellowships are for up to two
years, with a third year possible at the discretion of the Program.

Eligibility:

A New American is a person who holds a Green Card, or is already a
naturalized citizen, or a child of two naturalized citizen parents.
Individuals completing or already holding their bachelor's degrees or
enrolled in a graduate program are eligible. A candidate must be between
20 and 28 years of age.

How many Fellowships will be awarded?

In the Spring of 1998, a pilot program of ten Fellows will be selected.
Thereafter, thirty Fellowships will be awarded annually.

Fellowship Awards:

Each year the Fellow receives a maintenance grant of $20,000 and a tuition
grant of one-half the tuition cost of the US graduate program attended by
the Fellow.

Selection Criteria:

Candidates must demonstrate the relevance of graduate education to their
long-term career goals and potential in enhancing their contributions to
society. A successful candidate will give evidence of at least two of the
following three attributes:
(1) creativity, originality, and initiative, demonstrated in any area of the
candidate's life;
(2) a commitment to and capacity for accomplishment, demonstrated through
activity that has required drive and sustained effort; and
(3) a commitment to the values expressed in the U.S. Constitution and the
Bill of Rights.
Fellowships are not solely awarded on the basis of academic record.

Selection Process:

Candidates submit essays, transcripts and recommendations available by mail
or at http://www.pdsoros.org. From those who apply, finalists will be
selected and invited to interviews. The interview panel will include
educators and distinguished New Americans. After its recommendations have
been reviewed and approved by the Program's Board of Trustees, the class of
Fellows will be announced.

Application Deadline:

In the pilot class, the deadline for completed applications is March 30th,
1998. Thereafter the deadline will be November 30th.

Subject: Revista Brasil de Literatura

>> From: fipe <fipe@openlink.com.br>

Prezado(a)s,

criei e edito a Revista Brasil de Literatura, desde julho de 1997. Ela ja
esta crescidinha e tenta dar novos passos, alcancando novos leitores. Eh
por isso que lhes escrevo.

Esta eh uma revista brasileira de literatura, ou seja, tenta traduzir o
olhar brasileiro sobre a literatura e a cultura de um modo geral. Prima
pelo pluralismo responsavel. Todas as correntes de pensamento
democraticas ahi se expressam, em favor do homem e da liberdade. Apenas
estao excluidas as manifestacoes de intolerancia racial, nacional,
sexual, politica e filosofica.

Seu Conselho Editorial pode bem dar uma ideia da proposta e do trabalho
ali desenvolvido, composto que estah por nomes representativos no pais e
no exterior. As colaboracoes sao livres e passam apenas pelo crivo da
qualidade, sem a qual a revista nao se sustentaria, operado pelo Conselho
Editorial.

Este "e-mail" eh um convite a uma visita e a uma avaliacao de nosso
trabalho.

Se gostar, por favor diga aos outros; se nao gostar, inclua entre os
outros o editor da Revista Brasil de Literatura.

Tomo a liberdade de incluir como "attachement" o "Indice" atual da
revista, para que avalie o que poderah lah encontrar. Ele deverah ser
aberto a partir de seu navegador na Internet (Open File/Abrir arquivo):
Netscape, Internet Explorer, CyberDog, Mosaic, etc.

Desculpe-me a liberdade e o tempo que lhe tomo.

Atenciosamente,

Luis Filipe Ribeiro,
Editor.-

Subject: Call for Reviews

PMC CALL FOR REVIEWS -- DEADLINE MARCH 22

------> REPLY TO: p-geyh@nwu.edu

_Postmodern Culture_ is looking for reviews of recent books, films, CDs,
plays, TV shows, concerts, sporting events, performances, exhibitions,
conferences and conventions, happenings, and so forth, for the May
1998 issue. Reviews should be approximately 2000-3500 words long, and
should follow the journal's format guidelines below.

The deadline for submissions is March 22 (please send any queries before
March 11). A selection will be made at that time. All correspondence will
be answered and all submissions will be given careful consideration.

Send reviews and queries to Paula Geyh, the review editor at
p-geyh@nwu.edu, not to the _PMC_ offices. If e-mailing reviews, make sure
the document is not encoded, and that it has been stripped of all
word-processing codes (i.e, saved as ASCII or DOS text).

Submissions can also be sent on floppy disk to Paula Geyh at the Department
of English, 215 University Hall, Northwestern University, 1897 Sheridan
Road, Evanston, IL 60208.

All submissions should follow the format guidelines detailed below.

FORMAT GUIDELINES FOR _PMC_ REVIEWS

You can save us a good deal of work by following these guidelines:

Reviews should generally run between 2000 and 3500 words, or about
8-14 ordinary manuscript pages.

Set margins to half-inch left, two-inch right, and set your font
to Courier 10cpi (or any 10cpi, non-proportional font). This is very
important, as it prevents too many characters on a line.

Put a title at the top of the first page, and under it your name,
institutional affiliation, email address, and mailing address.
Center these lines.

Number all paragraphs of your text with bracketed numbers. These
bracketed numbers should be margin-released into the left-hand
margin (this will place them at the 0" spot on the line).

Indent (to 1") the first line of each pargraph and all lines of set-
off quotations.

Single-space the document throughout.

Use _this_ for underlining titles, *this* for bold print or
emphasis, %this% for foreign words, and ^this^ for superscript.

Footnotes, if any, should follow MLA format.

Page references in the text, if any, should not be preceded by p.,
pp., or any other notation; use just the page number itself.

NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT February 27, 1998

HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDS COPYRIGHT BILLS TO FULL HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

As reported below by Page Miller, the House Courts and Intellectual Property Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee yesterday approved the "World Intellectual Property Organization Treaty Implementation Act," passing it on to the full House Judiciary Committee for its consideration.

The subcommittee rejected numerous amendments attempting to ensure that legitimate circumvention of copyright protection software (by librarians or for educational purposes, under the fair use defense, for example) would be permitted.

NCC Washington Update, vol. 4, #6, February 26, 1998 by Page Putnam Miller, Director of the National Coordinating Committee for the Promotion of History <pagem@capaccess.org>

1. House Subcommittee Recommends Copyright Legislation To the House Judiciary Committee

1. House Subcommittee Recommends Copyright Legislation To the House Judiciary Committee -- On February 26 the House Courts and Intellectual Property Subcommittee met to mark-up several bills, including two copyright bills. In the "mark-up" the subcom mittee considered several amendment to the bills and then voted to recommend their marked-up versions to the Judiciary Committee. The two copyright bills on the subcommittee's agenda were HR 2281, the World Intellectual Property Organization Treaty Imple mentation Act, which was introduced last summer and HR 3209, a bill to limit liability for copyright infringement for on-line material, which was introduced on February 12 by Representatives Coble (R-NC) and Goodlatte (R-VA).

The packed committee room and the 100% attendance of all the members of the subcommittee indicated the high interest in these bills. In opening remarks Representative Howard Coble (R-NC), the Chair of the subcommittee, stressed that all members had had 72 hours to study his amendments. He made clear that he did not like dealing with "surprise" amendments. Representative Barney Frank (D-MA), the Ranking Minority member of the subcommittee, used his time for opening remarks to give a strong lecture to those on all sides of copyright issues, urging everyone "to keep hysteria to a minimum." He noted that supporters and opponents of this legislation have tended to conjure up the most horrible but unlikely scenarios. "Partisanship and ideology," he said are irrelevant to these bills and members are trying to reach appropriate compromises. Both Coble and Frank indicated their interest in "fair use" issues and that they had listened to the library community's concerns during the hearings.

Following opening remarks, Coble introduced an amendment that would assure that no criminal cases would ever be brought against a library, archives, or educational institution under the provision of this law regarding use of circumvention devices designed for gaining access to copyright protection systems. Frank then offered a substitute amendment that would include a new section to the law dealing with exemptions to the circumvention provision for libraries, archives, and educational institutions if the purpose of access was solely to browse in order to decide whether to acquire the material. Coble clarified the differences between the two amendments by saying that under his amendment it would be unlawful but not subject to criminal penalties but under the Frank amendment circumventions for browsing would be legal for libraries, archives, and educational institutions. In the debate Representative Conyers (D-MI) said that he opposed the Frank amendment which he characterized as designed as "allowing browsing rights if you don't steal anything." The Frank amendment was narrowly defeated by 7 nays and 6 ayes. McCollum (R-FL) was not present for the vote. The five members voting with Frank were Sensenbrenner (R-WI), Pease (R-IN), Boucher (D-VA), Lofgren (D-CA), and Delahunt (D-MA). The Coble amendment passed on a voice vote.

Representative Boucher then introduced an amendment to section 1201 on the "Circumvention of copyright protection systems" which deals with devices "primarily designed or produced for the purposes of circumventing protection afforded by a technological protection measure that effectively protects a right of a copyright owner. . ." Boucher's amendment would expand this section to clarify that the penalties did not apply to circumvention devices that have "substantial non-infringing uses." Representative Lofgren supported Boucher stressing the need to avoid unintended adverse consequences that would stifle work on new technologies. However, the subcommittee overwhelmingly rejected the Boucher amendment in a voice vote.

The subcommittee then turned to Representative Lofgren's two amendments which also addressed the issues of circumvention devices. Lofgren emphasized that the purpose of her amendment was to make a distinction between circumvention used to infringe copyright law and circumvention that has no unlawful use, such as circumvention for purposes of diagnosing computer problems, reverse engineering, encryption research, and access to work in the public domain which is protected by old encryptions. Coble noted that there was an upcoming mark-up on legislation dealing with the maintenance and testing of computers and that this issue could be considered under that bill. Although the subcommittee rejected this Lofgren amendment, there was general consensus on the subcommittee that more work needed to be done to ensure unintended consequences prior to the mark-up by the full committee. Lofgren's second amendment dealt with applying the "fair use" principle which applies to use of copyrighted material for educational purposes to the circumvention provisions. This amendment was also defeated.

By a large majority -- with only Boucher and Lofgren opposing -- the subcommittee approved favorable as amended HR 2281 to the House Judiciary Committee.

In introducing HR 3209 which would limit liability for copyright infringement for on-line material, Coble noted that Representative Goodlatte had spent over two years conducting negotiations between all parties. Coble said that he believes this is a balanced bill, yet he was also aware that there are many issues still unresolved. The divisions on the committee concerning this bill were clearly reflected in Conyers' opening statement in which he said that he thought the courts were doing a good job and that providing a safe harbor for Online providers could be a problem. Frank, Boucher, Lofgren, and McCollum all had amendments. However, the subcommittee decided not to vote on the amendments but to work among themselves prior to the full committee mark-up to deal with the concerns raised by the amendments. The subcommittee voted overwhelmingly to recommend the bill to the Judiciary Committee.
