NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Herbert D. Long, dean of students at the Divinity School, has been awarded a federal grant for advanced study in religion at the University of Hawaii's East-West Center. He will be in Honolulu from February to August.

Long will be the first "senior specialist" in the field of religion at the Center, which is designed to expose occidental scholars to oriental culture. He will explore a comparison of religious views on "self-identity and vocational choice" in the East and West.

"I welcome my contact with Asian scholars," Long said. He added, "It should help me sort out the differences in Eastern and Western perspectives."

Long will join 32 other senior specialists at the Center's Institute of Advanced Projects. He will participate in programs of the Department of Religion at the University of Hawaii, including lectures and discussions with colleagues.
