2. Renascence announces second J.M. Schwartz Award

Renascence: Essays on Values in Literature, the 60-year-old scholarly journal edited and published at Marquette, has announced the second Joseph M. Schwartz Memorial Essay Prize. Awarded in alternate years to the author of the best essay published in Renascence in the previous two years, the Joseph M. Schwartz prize honors the late Dr. Joseph M. Schwartz, past editor of Renascence, former chair of the English Department, and emeritus professor at the time of his death in 2002.

This year’s winner is Dr. Ellen M. Caldwell, assistant professor of English at California State University at Fullerton, for her essay on Shakespeare’s I Henry IV, titled “’Banish all the wor(l)d’: Falstaff’s Iconoclastic Threat to Kingship in I Henry IV.” Caldwell will receive a $1,000 honorarium, and her essay will be posted for 12 months on the Renascence Web site.

In the year that an essay prize is not awarded, Renascence commissions a commemorative lecture at Marquette in American literature.

4. Used soccer balls collected after Spring Break

The College of Arts and Sciences Student Council is collecting used soccer balls in support of the "Kick For Nick" project to give soccer balls to children in Iraq.

Pfc. Nick Madaras, a soldier who was killed while serving in Iraq, observed children there playing soccer with bags of rocks, so he started a drive to collect soccer balls in his hometown. Thousands of balls have been collected in his honor to send to Iraq.

The balls will be collected in the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences office, Marquette Hall 208, from March 25 to April 4.
