	A Program in Cognitive Science is in under development at
Indiana University.  We have permission to make some faculty appointments
this year but official state funding won't be received until spring '89.
We already have a number of students unofficially in such a program.
	Our program will serve both graduates and undergraduates.
All degrees will be joint degrees with another department
(especially Psychology, Linguistics, Computer Science and Philosophy,
although any other dept is possible).  Faculty appts will also
generally be joint appts.  A full curriculum proposal was prepared
and approved by faculty committees last year.  
	Current well-known faculty include (from Psych) Rich Shiffrin, 
David Pisoni, Esther Thelen, Ron Kettner, John Castellan, 
(from Computer Science) Doug Hofstadter, Michael Gasser, Gregory
Rawlins, Dirk Van Gucht, (Linguistics) Dan Dinnsen, 
(Philosophy) Jon Michael Dunn and many others.
