All Uni students are invited to enter the third annual Iris Chang and Peter Kolodziej Writing Awards competition. The contest will honor both fiction and nonfiction writing.

Entry forms and information sheets are now available in the main office. The deadline is 4 p.m. Thursday, May 1.

After Iris Chang committed suicide in November 2004, Gargoyle reporter Matthew Freeman contacted one of Chang's closest friends, the writer Paula Kamen, to find out more about the brilliant 1985 Uni graduate and best-selling author of "The Rape of Nanking." Three years later, Kamen has written a book about her friend. "Finding Iris Chang" features interviews with current Uni teachers Chris Butler and Adele Suslick. Learn more about the book inside, and read the story that Freeman wrote in the aftermath of Chang's death.
