The scholarships in the amount of $600 each are provided to Nevada residents of Basque descent attending the University of Nevada Reno. Donations We wish to thank Irel Urreiztieta-Rivera and Richard Urquidi for donating copies of their theses to our library. The works are entitled as follows: Urreiztieta-Rivera, Irel, Basque and Caucasian: A Survey of the Methods Used in Establishing Ancient Genetic Affiliations. Ph.D. dissertation. University of Arizona, 1980. Urquidi, Richard, History of the Mountain Home Basques. M.A. thesis. Boise State University, 1980. Help That Counts Volunteers have always been invaluable to the Basque Studies Program. During the past year several persons have donated their time and energies to projects ranging from organizing and mailing this newsletter, book re-shelving, filing, conducting title searches, and arranging Basque cultural displays. We wish to thank Janet Inda, Mary Louise Inda, Helen Brown, Kris Russell, Marguerite Camino, Steve Mendive, Nancy Cia and Gretchen Holbert for their efforts on our behalf. Eskerrikasko! Erratum In Professor Jacobsen’s report on the International Congress of Bascologists, 1980, in our last Newsletter (no. 23, p.4), some lines were omitted in the listing of the invited papers. They should read as follows: “Basque Syntax, Logical Form and the Auxiliary” by Terence H. Wilbur, Professor at UCLA; “Dialectology” by Jacques Allieres, Professor at the University of Toulouse; “Verbal Morphology” by Robert L. Trask, Professor at the University of Liverpool. Festival Plans Plans are in the formative stage for an International Folk Music Festival in Biarritz, France, in 1982. Some 52 nations are expected to participate if the festival becomes a reality. Basque dancing groups and singers from the western United States are expected to play an important role in the festival, tentatively scheduled for next summer. Organizers are Jean-Robert Boudré, executive officer for the Lido and Moulin Rouge, René Gueracague of Biarritz and Jean-Baptiste Gueracague of Los Angeles. American representative for the festival is Carmelo Urza, faculty member of the University of Richmond in Virginia. The organizers of the song and dance fest met recently in Reno with William A. Douglass and Robert Laxalt. |
