The cost estimates have been translated wherever possible into unit-cost factors. They may be summarized as follows: 3, 000, 000 405, 000 Grants for scholars, specialists, and other leaders (see table V) – Total_____ 54, 500 8,300,000 These estimates have been based on the following principles and assumptions: 1. Funds for construction of a building for the center to provide housing and facilities for food services, other student services, and administrative offices should be made available by special contributions to accommodate students attracted to the center. Funds for buildings to provide instructional services to a growing group of students should be absorbed by the regular university budget as part of its general expansion. 2. There is a similar need for operational expenses during the initial period of operation of the Center to insure adequate returns from the investment in building. The term "administrative costs" as used here means expenses which are chargeable entirely to the Center. "Supporting services" (counseling, Eng. lish teaching, library, translation work, etc.) represent a certain expansion resulting only in part from the establishment and operation of the Center. Therefore, a grant toward the cost of "supporting services" should be limited to that part of the expansion of staff and facilities specifically required to handle the programs and clientele of the Center. 3. Estimates of scholarship and other grants should include for each grantee educational expenses, personal and living expenses, and total travel costs. Each scholarship should cover costs for a 2-year period. Grants for scholars should be estimated on the basis of costs for 1 year but should be administered so as to provide for periods of less than 1 year when necessary or desirable. The proposed funding figures assume a load on the Center of at least 100 students and 10 specialists (at any one time) during the first year of operation and at least 200 students and 10 specialists (at any one time) during each of the following 2 years of operation. See appendix 3e. TABLE I BUILDING COST ESTIMATES The following estimates are based on unit costs supplied by the University of Hawaii. The principal structure (excluding instructional facilities) would be a single building which would include dormitory-type accommodations, apartments, transient quarters, cafeteria and food services, lounges, seminar rooms, recreational facilities, auditorium, and office space. It would be identified as the building for the proposed Center. Site planning and allocation of land would provide for expansion of facilities as the program grows. Unit cost figures are as follows: Dormitory-type housing including food service facilities, offices, lounges, study room, etc., per student___. $8,725 Apartment-type (average 2 bedrooms) accommodation, per unit_. 20,000 Transient-type room, per unit_. 10,000 Total instructional facilities including classrooms, library, laboratories, study rooms, etc., per student_____. 4,000 Expansion of unit costs to relate to proposals Land...

Subject: The Center for Cultural and Technical Interchange Between East and West. To the Regents of the University of Hawaii: Since its creation in October 1960, the Center for Cultural and Technical Interchange Between East and West (more commonly called the East-West Center) has shown significant progress. Programs and activities have been outlined, and some actively launched. A partial staff has been recruited. The first buildings have been planned, and building bids will be let this month. Inventories of Hawaii's assets for support of the Center program have been made. Almost 100 students from Asia and America are now studying at the University of Hawaii under Center scholarships, and about 150 more are expected to begin studies this fall. These accomplishments testify to the initiative which has gone into development of the Center. The regents were wise, however, to request a review of the organization and program of the Center at this stage of its development. The committee of consultants has now met with representatives of the Center and the university and a number of other interested individuals, has examined the present and proposed structure and programs of the Center in some detail, and makes the following recommendations: CONCEPT 1. The Center is soundly conceived and should be vigorously developed as an important national resource and a contribution to international understanding. An educational center to bring together scholars, students, and technicians from Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the United States will have great value for the individual participants, and for the nations from which they come. Some Asian countries have need for technical training facilities and all countries need greater mutual appreciation of cultures and national problems. AFFILIATION 2. The Center should continue to be affiliated with the University of Hawaii. As an educational program for the training of students, scholars, and technicians, the Center should be closely associated with a university. This association will also serve to emphasize that the Center |
