USC is trying to obtain a grant
through the Agency for International
Development to further
establish the university as a
major research institution, ac
coraing 10 rranK BorkowsKi, USC provost.
The grant would be for an
ongoing mineral resource study in
Egypt. Borkowski, who has been to
Egypt twice, said USC currently
has an ongoing project at the Earth
Resource Institution Center in
Cairo. The center is the university's
facility there.

channeled through A.I.D. goes to
specific projects universities are
eligible to support, according to
Borkowski.
"We're talking about a lot of
money," Borkowski said. The last
figure seen for the project's funding
was $25 million. This money
for the mineralogical research was
requested by Presidents Carter
and Sadat, and A.I.D. has done the
work.
"Our interests are in that it

A.I.D. IS INVOLVED with many
other grants in the Middle East,
mainly Egypt and Israel. In the
fiscal year 1979, $1 million was I
spent for Israeli students.
Potential A.I.D. funding will be for '
improving illiteracy and teacher i
training.

absolutely sure Sadat is coming,
