     For the past several years, the president of the Salzburg Seminar
in Austria has extended a presidential fellowship for tuition for a
member of the UD faculty to attend a seminar. The University also will
assist with travel and related expenses.
     According to G. Arno Loessner, a policy fellow of the College of
Urban Affairs and Public Policy and the University's first Salzburg
fellow, comments from University fellows who have participated in the
seminars have been overwhelmingly positive and they have used the
experience to enrich and internationalize their teaching.
     Interested faculty members may submit a proposal, not to exceed
two pages, explaining how attendance at the seminar would enhance
their work at the University.
     Each proposal for sessions should be acconpanied by a memo from
the department chairperson or dean and should be addressed to Loessner
at Graham Hall. The deadline is 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 1.
     In adddtion to Loessner, other members of the campus selection
committee are Jim Oliver, political science and international
relations; Bonnie Kime Scott, English; and Robert Rothman, sociology.
     A Salzburg Seminar brochure, outlining the different sessions and
listing former fellows from the University, is in the Reserve Room of
the Morris Library.
     Details on the Salzburg Seminar also are available on its home
page on the World Wide Web at http://www.salsem.ad.at.
