The Crompton-Noll award, now in its 19th year, is administered through the gay and lesbian caucus of the MLA. The award pays tribute to Prof. Lou Crompton (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) and Prof. Dolores Noll (Kent State University), two veterans of the gay and lesbian caucus. Unfortunately, the award no longer includes a cash prize. Nominated essays should have been published between summer 1997-summer 1998. Self-nominations are welcome. Please send four copies of the essay for consideration to the following address: Professor David Román Chair, Crompton-Noll Award Department of English USC Los Angeles, CA 90089-0354 The deadline for submitting nominations is October 1, 1998. The call for nominations will also appear in the Lesbian and Gay Studies Newsletter, published by Duke University Press. Please feel free to circulate this announcement to colleagues, students, and friends. Professor Carolyn Dinshaw, professor of English at UC-Berkeley and the 1997 recipient of the Crompton-Noll Award, will join me (and two others yet to be asked to serve) on the award selections committee. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at home (323/782-8028) or contact me through e-mail (davidr@bcf.usc.edu). I look forward to your nomination. Thank you.
