and other colleges and departments which are community oriented- -and through
these, help can be given to communities and to the Commonwealth which will
enable them to develop more rapidly. Everyone, all countries, all groups, should
seek to change, to better, to develop their systems to higher levels and, in this
sense, developmental change is universal.

     Dr. Weidner continued that the only effective way to relate, to develop, is
to work with leaders of the community. There is no magic formula, no way in
which the University can solve problems in a community if the community is not
willing to take the initiative. At present the University has a contract with the
Office of Economic Opportunity to study the impact of the community action program
on Knox County during the next three years. No look has ever been taken to see
what effect the Economic Opportunity program has on programs already in ex-
istence in a community.

     One major responsibility of the Center will be to meet with the faculty and
administration to work out specific goals within a broad context as well as to be pre-
pared for particular projects which "knock at our door". Another role the Center
will assume will be the training of pro.ressional people for the various new programs,
particularly the poverty programs, which can only be as good as the people who at-
tempt to effect change. Economic development is also another focus of the Center
for Developmental Change.

      Dr. Angelucci thanked Dr. Weidner for his report and said he looked forward
to later reports on the progress being made in achieving some of the goals which he
had mentioned.
