program is experimental in the sense (1) that all pre-service training will take place on location rather than at the Urbana campus and (2) that the University will not perform the training under contract, but instead will supply, through direct hire, the necessary faculty to complement the staiV at NUC. G. PROPOSED CAMPUS INTERNATIONAL UNITS Several colleges plan to establish internationally-oriented units for research/instruction on campus. The units listed below are suggested programs but should not be considered as necessarily having high priority in either the college concerned or the campus in general. 1. Center for Comparative International Communications This proposed project of the Department of Advertising of the College of Communications would provide central apparatus for soliciting and administering international communications projects for the Colleges of Communications, Commerce and Business Administration, and Agriculture in an effort to encourage research. 2. Center for International Agricultural Communications Development The Center would assist participating countries in establishing functioning agricultural communications systems as a component of their agricultural development programs. The purpose of such systems would be to speed up the adoption of improved agricultural production and marketing practices in developing countries. Activities would include research, consultation, development of graduate degree programs in this field at Illinois, buildup of library resources and short-term noncredit courses, seminars, and workshops both at the University of Illinois and in selected participating countries. 3. Center for International Engineering Education The Center would work with technical institutions abroad in the codification of known techniques and experimentation with new ones. Later functions would include research, seminars, and student exchanges. 4. Center for African Studies To cover sub-Sahara Africa. 5. Center for East and Southeast Asian Studies To cover the Far East and Southeast Asia. 6. Center for South Asian a n d Near Eastern Studies To a • Istanbul to Calcutta.
