UD harity Week to benefit our
charities
Kyle Meziere
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The charities which will
benefit from the University
of Dallas's 2007 Charity
Week focus mainly on needs
in Latin America and the Dallas
area.
Student Government decided
to evenly disperse the money
by choosing two international
charities, as well as two local
charities.
One charity which will
benefit from Charity Week is
Casa de Hogar, an orphanage in
Morelia, Mexico. The orphanage
has an eighty year history meeting
the needs of the children who
live there. This particular charity
was chosen in response to a
strong recommendation from a
member of the UD community
who volunteered there during the
past summer.
Food for the Poor, Inc., is a
charity which works particularly in
Latin America and the Caribbean
islands. The charity has supplied
the equivalent of over 39,500
semi-trailer loads of goods to
areas in need of relief. It also
succeeded in relaying 96% of
the money donated directly to
the needy.
Closer to home, one of
locally-based charities is the
White Rose Women's Center, a
Charity Week kicked off with a Family Day celebration on the Mall last Sunday.

relatively small charity which
helps inform and guide woman
who are contemplating abortion.
It has an office in downtown
Dallas which provides counseling,
information, ultrasounds, and
even legal services to women
contemplating abortion.
The White Rose Women's
Center was brought to the attention
of the Student Government by
Chelsea Davis, one of the Charity
Week co-chairs, who volunteered
at the center over the summer.
"The work they are doing is just
amazing," she said.
The other local charity is
"Catholic Charities of Dallas."
Catholic Charities serves a broad
variety of needs, providing many
services, from elderly assistance
to immigration law assistance.
It serves over forty thousand

DM" pursues ambitious
medieval translation project
Laurence Butler
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Dallas Medieval Texts and
Translations project, unheard of by
many members of the University
of Dallas community, has an ambitious goal.
DM I I has already published seven volumes, and
nineteen more are under commission.
The eighth volume, William of Saint-
Amour's De periculis novissimorum
temporum, is due out before the end
of the year. Each of the DM I I volumes
presents a translation into English of
a medieval work, with the Latin and
English side by side.
Accordingto Dr. Philipp Rosemann,
the DM FT Editor, the project began
in the late 1990's. The idea was first
medieval Latin writing.
"I want each volume to make a lasting
contribution to our knowledge of the literature of
the medieval period," said Rosemann.
The famous Loeb series, published by
Harvard University Press publishes all of the
major texts of Latin and Greek antiquity, with
English translations facing the Greek or Latin
"UD's name should be connected with
the Dallas Library of Medieval Texts and
Translations in the same way in which
Harvard's name is indissolubly associated
with the Loeb Classical Library"
Dr. Phi pp Rosemann
floated by Father James Lehrberger, O. Cist.,
Associate Professor of Philosophy who regretted
the lack of a comprehensive series of books
publishing English translations of key medieval
texts, accompanied by the Latin originals.
Other series publish English translations of
medieval texts, but none have the goal to publish
texts from all areas of medieval thought and
culture, including poetry, philosophy, theology,
history and natural science. By doing this, the
DMT aims to create a comprehensive mirror of
originals. The Loeb series was begun in 1911 and
now consists of several hundred volumes.
" I he advantage of having the Greek or Latin
side by side with the English is that readers realize
that no translation can ever replace the original
text. It is impossible to capture the nuances and
ambiguities of one language perfectly in another,"
said Rosemann.
"UD's name should be connected with the
Dallas Library of Medieval Texts and Translations
in the same way in which Harvard's name is
