j . COOPERATION BETWEEN COLLEGES

The Committee generally agreed that cooperation across college lines, where appropriate, was both needed and desirable. Some colleges, both in their reports as well as in Committee deliberations, outlined specific ways in which they could assist others and areas in which they would like to receive help. For example, the College of Education is currently cooperating on internationally-related programs with the African Studies Committee, the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, and the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Agriculture. T w o faculty members of the College of Education serve on the African Studies Committee. T h e program in Comparative Education of the Department of History and Philosophy of Education will offer, with the support of the African Studies Committee, a special seminar on Education and Social Change in Africa in the fall semester of 1968-1969. In return, the College of Education relies substantially upon courses in the several social science and language departments for the instructional program in comparative education and will do so also for the proposed master's degree in intercultural and overseas teaching. In addition, the Department of Vocational and Technical Education is cooperating with the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations on manpower problems. The College of Engineering suggested interdisciplinary cooperation in research with the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations in analyzing institutional development and technical aspects of the process of industrialization. T h e Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, in turn, envisioned the possibilities of cooperation at the College of Law's proposed center in Europe in the study of conflict and conflict resolution in industrial relations. T h e Departments of Advertising and Journalism in the College of Communications plan to cooperate with the Center for Asian Studies in a training program and with other units interested in international communications. When the law center is established in Latin America, the College of Law would want help from the Romance language departments. T h e Department of Advertising also envisions the development

of its Center for Comparative International Communications in cooperation with the Colleges of Agriculture and Commerce and Business Administration.
