Appoint Heads inted to head these cen- re: Prof. William Ballis of litical science department Center for Russian Studies; klbert Feuerwerker of the department to the Center r Eastern Studies; Prof. d Park of the political department to the Center theast Asian Studies; and Gilliam Schorger of the an- ogy department to the Cen- Near Eastern StudIies. Prof. Schorger points out that the educated peoples of the Near East and Asia are familiar with the North American and Western European cultures. Each year nu- merous scholars from those parts of the world come to Europe or the United States to continue their studies. In the United States, however, there is a noticeable lack of know- ledge of these others areas of the world. Students usually confine themselves to examining only their own Western culture. Provide Facilities Through the area study centers the University hopes to provide facilities so that more Americans can gain a deeper and more thor- ough understanding of these areas which have become critically im- portant to our nation's welfare. These new area centers will be organized much in the same way as the Center for Japanese Studies has been set up, Prof. Schorger explained. However the new centers will not be established on exactly the same plan, he continued. When the Japan center was established, the idea of area centers was not only new at Michigan, but was also either untried or newly tackled at other universities throughout the nation. Experimental System Thus the system and methods used at Michigan's Japan center were largely experimental. Now the new area centers can adopt those which have proven most successful and can avoid those which are ineffectual. The centers will serve solely as co-ordinating organs and will not build up staffs separate from the rest of the University. Instead members in the centers will be drawn from other departments. Dual Role For example, men in the an- thropology, economics, geography, history, fine arts, political science and sociology departments who are particularly concerned with how their field of study applies in Southeast Asia will all be mem- bers of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, as well as of their own departments. Theseparea"centers are designed primarily to offer training to graduate students, since their programs are often too narrow for the undergraduate. Nevertheless it is possible for the undergraduate who is extremely interested to concentrate in either Russian, Far Eastern, Southeast Asian, Far Eastern, or Japanese studies.

BENJAMIN, '27 Lit., Owner SAVE AT SAM'S STORE T' Directs Research r Science Industry (Continued from Page 1) ment for analyzing the nuclear structure of heavier elements." Last winter the University got a 310-ton magnet core for the cyclotron which will enable it to hurl atomic particles at energies ranging from 15 to 40 volts. The new building, in addition to the Atomic Energy Commis- sion-financed cyclotron will house the University's smaller atom smasher which is currently being kept in the Randall Laboratory basement. The Institute also runs the Wil- low Run experimental laborator-, ies, located at the airport about a 30-minute drive from the cam- pus. Recent projects include experi- mentation with a radar system which has the advantage of great- er range and 'resolution than the instruments currently in use. Radar Advances The system uses red light ra- diation reflected off targets rath- er than the conventional micro- waves. The latest major part of the Institute, the Great Lakes Re- search Division headed by Prof. David Chandler of the zoology de- partment, was established in April. The new devision used to be the Great Lakes Research Institute established by the Regents in 1945. All the varied activities of the Institute are coordinated under its unifying general field of study, Space Science and Technology. Rapid Growth This field was chosen because it is growing at such a rapid pace and because considerable interest has been expressed in it in Mich- igan. Many new industries are also the result of such research and the highest calibre of scientists and engineers are urgently need- ed in all aspects of this broad field. Mowever, not all of the Insti- tute's goals are tied up with space science and technology. The gen- eral goal, as stated in the original proposal for the Institute, is prog- ress and recognition for both the University and the State. These goals are attracting new industries to Michigan increasing prestige of both the state and the University. U U' Recruitment The Institute has also become a great incentive for University recruitment of new faculty, and the center of technological train- ing and research in the state. Prof. Joseph Boyd of the phys- ics department, director of the In- stitute, has described its role as three fold. "It complements acti- vities of departments that .cut across departmental or college limits, and initiates and research in new fields of interest and pro- vides some state leadership in the science technological fields as they relate to the state's industrial and technological developments."
