The new College takes over the Institute of Communications Research, which was formerly under the Graduate College, and continues to administer the Division of Uni- versity Broadcasting, formerly called the Oflice of Broadcasting. The three instructional divisions of the Col- lege offer students professional training in journalism, advertising and broadcasting. Housed in Gregory Hall, the College makes available an outstanding library, special class- room and laboratory equipment, AM and FM radio stations and a VHF educational tele- vision station.
