From the Student Council
Dear
Friends,
Our traditional Spring Festival, which this year took place on May 4th, 5th and 6th, has
once again been an event to remember.
Under the leadership of the student council and clubs, and with the support of the Spring
Festival organization committee, we put together a varied program that brought action and
excitement to campus life.
Games, concerts, sports, competitions, talk shows and demonstrations were only some of the
many activities offered to students this year. With this success, Bilkent University has
once again provided a model for other universities to follow.
As the president of student council, I would like to offer my best wishes and thanks to
all those who contributed to this lively event.

SAL Student Wins First Prize in Cartoon Translation Competition
On the
occasion of Francophonie Week 2005, the Embassy of France and the French Institute in
Ankara sponsored a cartoon translation contest for university students. Candidates had to
be between the ages of 18 and 25 and registered in a department of French at a university
in Ankara for the 2004-2005 academic year. The contestants, four of whom were SAL
students, were required to translate three cartoons from French to Turkish in four hours
at the French Institute in Ankara. Nilay Özer, a third-year student, won first prize, a
free trip to the Avignon Theatre Festival in France from July 16-17, 2005. Gülşah
Uzakgider, Dilek Demirkol and Seda Kurt came in fourth, sixth and seventh.
Young Critics Keep Up
the Critical Tradition
The "Young Critics
Symposium," organized annually by the Department of Turkish Literature, is convening
for the sixth time on May 9 and 10 at Bilkent University. During the symposium, 15
graduate students from the department are presenting papers, most of which focus on
various novels and novelists in the Turkish tradition since the the mid-19th century.
Papers are also being presented on Oktay Rıfat and Turgut Uyar, prominent 20th-century
poets.
The symposium gives students an opportunity to share their research with the public,
receive and respond to criticism, and improve their work. Students then publish their
research in literary journals in Turkey. By the end of this year's symposium, a total of
130 papers will have been presented by young critics over the course of six symposia.
The event is taking place at FADA, Room FFB-05. Sessions are scheduled from 10 a.m.-noon
and 1:30-3:30 p.m. on both Monday and Tuesday. For program details, please see the
department's Internet site (http://www.bilkent.edu.tr/~tebsite)
and the university's "What's On?" pages.
