U.S.-Hawai
Center Plan
By FAITH WEINSTEIN
"The University of Hawaii is'
on trial--no one is certain that
it can produce what it is suppos-
ed to with its East-West Center,"
Prof: James M. Davis, director of
the International Center said yes-
terday.l
Prof. Davis, who just returned
from, a Honolulu conference on
the new East-West Center saidi
there was a feeling of "real con-i
cern about the extent to which
the program would be a national,
program," involving many univer-]
sities, rather than "something;
supporting the University of Ha-
waii alone."j
The Center, which will go on
full time operation in the fall,;
will train Americans in the cul-;
ture and technology of Asia, and
Asians in the mores and tech-.
nological methods of the United
States. Professor Emeritus Charles
Ramer formerly of the economics
department is one of the first of
the Center's "Senior Scholars," a
free-floating research post.
"Everyone at the conference
felt that this is a tremendous op-
portunity for the universityto do
something really big and impor-
tant," Prof. Davis said. "We all
recognize the distinctive 'gateway'
character of Hawaii -- there is
something unique about a place
where the bank tellers are tri-
lingual, and you can sign a check
in Chinese, Japanese or English.
"But many people had questions
about the advisability of its be-
ing so closely integrated into the
university structure;
Because the Center is so closely
connected with the University of
Hawaii several problems have
cropped up-including faculty pay
rates, and naming a director. "The
East-West Center faculty will be
paid by the university, whose pay
scale is not especially high, and
the director must be named by the
Regents, who resigned in a body,
for political reasons and have not
been replaced," Prof. Davis ex-
plained.
"The director will be a univer-
sity vice-president," he added,
"and the success of the Center
will in part, depend on who he is."
