Staff Writer
Dr. William McKee, acting director of the Applied
Economics Institute in the School of Community Ser-
vice for the past year, has been named director of
the institute by the NT Board of Regents.
The institute comprises the Labor and Industrial
Relations Institute and the Center for Economic
Education.
McKee said he is excited about serving as direc-
tor of the institute because of the growth rate it is
experiencing.
"In the six years I've been here, the number of
students we have had nearly tripled and 1 expect this
trend to continue," he said. "There is a growing
demand for the type of classes we teach here." About
70 students are enrolled in the institute, he said.
The institute offers programs for graduate students,
although McKee said he hopes it will be possible to
develop an undergraduate program in the Labor and
Industrial Relations Institute sometime in the future.
While many universities in the state have economic
centers, McKee said the NT institute has no direct
competition in Texas, because it is the only one to
offer degrees in labor and industrial relations or eco-
nomic education.
\ recently passed Texas Legislature bill, which

requires high school graduates to have at least one
semester of economics, has led to an increase in enroll-
ment for the center, he said.
The Labor and Industrial Relations Institute receives
funds from the state to provide seminars and work-
shops for labor unions and corporate officials.
'In the six years I've been here,
the number of students we
have had nearly tripled and I
expect this trend to continue.'

Applied Economics Institute
The special economic problems of the recession
have accentuated the techniques of peaceful nego-
tiations, rather than of strikes, as a means of han-
dling problems between labor and management, he
said.
Most of the students in the program are part-time
and have full-time jobs in management.
Although most institute students have undergradu-
ate degrees in business or economics, almost any
broad-based liberal arts degree provides an adequate
foundation for entering the graduate program, he said.
