By ELLEN GRAY “This is the most individualized major you can possibly imagine." The speaker leans back in his chair and smiles genially. He is Borys Bilokur. an associate professor of Germanic and Slavic languages, and acting director of UConn's new Center for Slavic and East European Studies. He is a man who see possiblities everywhere. Last spring. UConn applied to the lU.S. Office of Education for money to establish a curriculum of Slavic and East European studies. Bilokur did not say how much money he expected, but said he was amazed at what UConn received. The response to UConn's request was a grant of more than $130,000 to be spent over the next three years to operate the Center for Slavic and East European Studies. With the establishment of the center. UConn became the first public university in New England to receive federal backing for such an under- graduate program and the tenth school in the nation to establish one. The center will create three new majors, Bilokur said. The first. a major in Slavic and East European Slavic culture emigrates to UConn Studies in the humanities and fine arts. will combine the resources of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Fine Arts. The second. a major in Slavic and East European Studies in the social sciences. will utilize both liberal arts and the School of Education's of- ferings. The third. Slavic and East European Studies in Business Ad- ministration and International Trade. will combine the resources of the School of Business Administration and liberal arts programs. “What we're trying to do in the business major is to couple that strictly business approach with a humanistic outlook." Bilokur said. The new majors will draw on the staff and resources of four different schools and colleges. with more than a dozen different academic departments involved. he said. The prerequisites for the new majors will be to fulfill UConn's language requirement of two years in Russian. Polish or some other East European language. Bilokur said he expects a total of 20 to 25 undergraduates will be admitted to the major program. although all undergraduates meeting the indivi- (;on.inucu on Page 4 Glnnttrrtirut Baily Qiantpua Serving Storrs Since 1896 VOL.

KWOLEK Action on a proposal to charge food trailer operators up to $500 per semester to operate on campus was delayed for at least a month Friday by the University Board of Trustees. Carl W. Nielsen, the board's budget and finance committee chairman, said the committee “approved of the concept" of the fee. but wanted to give the full board “more specific outlines and rules" before seeking approval of the charge. A brief report. including a tentative fee schedule, was pre- sented to the board. but action was tabled at Nielsen's request until the Oct. 8 board meeting. “Consideration should be given to differences in the ven- dors." said Robert Wiggins. student member of the board. He said non-profit and smaller ven- dors would suffer under the fee schedule proposed to the board by a committee comprised of students and administrative of- Continued on Page 3_ STORRS.
