The panel is entitled "Traditional Specialties at the Turn of the 21st Century: A Janus View," and the speakers have been asked to review the last hundred years and to look ahead as far as possible in considering questions relating to trends in their areas of interest. The floor will be open for discussion after each paper. President Gaisser will preside over the panel on January 4th at 4:30 p.m.


APA Plenary session
President-Elect Kenneth J.

Open Meeting of the Placement Committee

The Placement Committee invites all interested members to attend this discussion of the Placement Service on January 5 from 7:30-8:30 a.m. Committee members hope that both candidates and representatives of hiring institutions will offer suggestions for improvements in this vital service. Complimentary continental breakfast will be served.


Minority Student Scholarship Fund-raising Breakfast and Raffle

The APA's Committee on Scholarships for Minority Students is sponsoring a fund-raising breakfast and raffle on Friday, January 5 from 7:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. in the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. Tickets to this event cost $35 and include admission to the breakfast and six chances to win one of the raffle's three prizes: over $250 in books donated by a variety of academic publishers. Additional chances for the raffle (or chances in lieu of attending the reception) can also be purchased in the Registration Area at a cost of $10 for 1 or $25 for 3. It is not necessary to be present at the reception to win the raffle.


Informal Oral Reading Session

The Society for the Oral Reading of Greek and Latin Literature will hold its annual informal reading session at the San Diego Marriott on Thursday, January 4, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. This session is an opportunity for any annual meeting registrant to read aloud a selection of Greek or Latin literature (maximum 35 lines) before an interested and sympathetic audience. The session is not a contest but is rather a friendly exchange of sounds and ideas among those interested in the effective oral performance of classical literature. If the reader so desires, listeners will offer constructive comments after the reading. All readers are asked to bring 30 photocopies of their texts for distribution. Auditors are cordially welcome.


Special Performance Event

The APA Committee on Performance is sponsoring a reading by David Ferry, distinguished translator of Horace, Vergil, and other poets. Professor Ferry's most recent collection of poems, "Of No Country I Know: New and Selected Poems," was awarded the Lenore Marshall Prize of the American Academy of Poets as the most outstanding book of poems published in 1999. The reading will take place at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina on Friday, January 5, at 7:30 p.m. There is no admission charge for this memorable hour of spoken poetry.


Placement Service

Carlsbad Room
South Tower, Level 3
San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina
Placement Service Director: Renie Plonski

Hours

January 3 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
January 4 & 5 7:45 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
January 6 8:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.


The on-site registration fee for candidates is $20.00; for institutions, $200.00. Candidates and institutions must also register for the Annual Meeting to use the Placement Service facilities at the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting registration fee is separate from both societal membership dues and the Placement Service registration fee. Copies of all recent issues of Positions for Classicists and Archaeologists will be available in the Placement Office for review by candidates; copies of the 2000-01 Placement Book, including a supplement of all CV's received after the printing deadline of the Placement Book, will be available for review by institutions.

While many institutions will wish to conduct interviews in suites they have reserved, the Placement Service also has available a limited number of meeting rooms for interviews. All requests for these interview rooms must be made through the Placement Service at the time appointments are requested. Institutions that have already advertised positions are encouraged to notify all applicants prior to the Annual Meeting whether they do or do not intend to interview an individual in San Diego. However, the Placement Service should be permitted to make the actual schedule of interviews to ensure that candidates do not encounter conflicts either with other interviews or with paper sessions.

Upon arrival in San Diego, pre-registered and non-registered candidates and institutional representatives should go directly to the Placement Office in the Carlsbad Room either to register for the Placement Service or to obtain schedules of prearranged interviews. When the Placement Service has a message for either a candidate or institution, staff will post an identifying number on a call board. Participants in the Placement Service are expected to consult this call board on a regular basis during the meeting although in the majority of cases participants will be able to obtain their complete schedules when they first arrive in San Diego. The Placement Service reserves the right to extend the interview hours listed in the Annual Meeting program.

Although the American Philological Association and the Archaeological Institute of America are only intermediaries in the recruiting process and do not engage in the actual placement of members, the Director of the Placement Office is ready to serve both institutional representatives and candidates in every way practical during the course of the Annual Meeting. Communications on Placement Service matters should be sent to Renie Plonski, Placement Service Director, American Philological Association, 291 Logan Hall, University of Pennsylvania, 249 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA. 19104-6304. Telephone: (215) 898-4975; Fax: (215) 573-7874.

Presidential Panel Marina D and E

Traditional Specialties at the Turn of the 21st Century: A Janus View

Julia Haig Gaisser, Presiding

The panel will be concerned with twentieth-century developments in four traditional fields of classical scholarship: linguistics, Roman history, papyrology, and Roman poetry. The speakers have been invited to look back over the last hundred years or so and ahead as far as the eye can see, and to consider some of the following questions: "What was happening in your subject around 1900? What questions interested people? How and why did new ones enter in? What's important now, and where are we going?" They have been asked - not to present an overview or objective summary, but to speak from the perspective of their own interests and research. After each paper, the floor will be open for discussion.

The Publication Process and the Classics Profession:

Responsibilities, Expectations, and the Future

Erich S. Gruen, Presider

The Forum will address publishing concerns expressed especially by younger members of the profession. Issues to be considered will include procedures for submission and assessment of manuscripts, articulation of guidelines, timeliness of responses, consistent communication by editors or editorial boards, press policies on the publication of monographic studies, and the likely effects of electronic publishing on the advancement of careers. Panelists will include both representatives from university presses and editors of classical journals. We anticipate an hour of presentations and an hour of discussion from the floor.

Joint AIA/APA Workshop

FORTVNA: A Research Tool

The Archaeological Information System for Ancient Rome

Chrystina Häuber and Franz Xaver Schütz, Organizers

The purpose of this workshop is to demonstrate a new computer system which has been developed for eventual access via the Internet. The organizers have developed FORTVNA as an interactive tool to assist the topography student 1) to access information regarding a given ancient Roman structure and its associated materials and 2) to have a basis to understand and interpret the information. Partners in the enterprise are the archaeological agencies of the City of Rome and university professors of Classical Archaeology, Ancient History, Classics, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) from Bonn, New Brunswick and Perugia. The organizers believe that FORTVNA offers the opportunity 1) to search for "persistent" ancient structures and 2) to reconstruct ancient buildings and landscapes more precisely than previous methods. The first area tested with this system is that of the Mons Oppius in Rome   - Workshop Participants
