As aresult of the review, several functional areas within the Registry have been re-structured, and the Registry has been re-organized accordingly from 25th October 1999 as follows: 1. Merging of the Registration Section and the Examinations Section The Registration Section and the Examinations Section were merged to form the Registration & Examinations Section. This merger makes possible a clearer delineation of responsibilities among different sections in the Registry, and w i ll serve as a single principal contact point for students from their first registration to graduation. 2. Re-structuring ofthe Graduate Studies Section The existing two main functions of the Graduate Studies Section, namely to handle postgraduate programmes (like faculty offices in the case of undergraduate programmes) and postgraduate students (like other Registry sections), were segregated. The former function is retained by the Section, which has been renamed the Graduate School Secretariat, and the latter is taken up by the Registration & Examinations Section and the Admissions Section. To facilitate smooth transition, the current 1999-2000 postgraduate admissions exercise, which has already commenced, will continue to be supported by the Graduate School Secretariat. 公積金計劃投資成績 I n v e s t m e nt Returns of Staff S u p e r a n n u a t i on S c h e m e s 財務處公布公積金計劃內各項投資基金於一九九九年九月及第三季度的回 報如下： From the Bursary: The monthly returns for September 1999 and cumulative returns for the third quarter in the Designated Inveastment Funds of the 1995 Scheme and 1983 Scheme are as follows: —九九九年九月 September 1999 基金 Fund 計劃 Scheme 指摽回報 Benchmark Return 1995 1983 (未經審核數據 unaudited) 增長 Growth -2.47% -2.25% -2.63% 平衡 Balanced -1.68% -1.76% -1.47% 穩定 Stable -0.21% 2.36% 0.52% 港元銀行存款 HKD Bank Deposit 0.48% (年息 Annualized 6.08%) 0.48% (年息 Annualized 6.08%) 0.40% (年息 Annualized 4.82%) 美元銀行存款 USD Bank Deposit 0.45% (年息 Annualized 5.11%) 0.45% (年息 Annualized 5.11%) 0.40% (年息 Annualized 4.78%) —九九九年第三季（七至九月) Cumulative Returns for the Third Quarter 1999 基金 Fund 計劃 Scheme 指摽回報 Benchmark Return 1995 1983 (未經審核數據 unaudited) 增長 Growth -1.73% -1.33% -1.28% 平衡 Balanced -0.94% -0.76% 0.34% 穩定 Stable 1.04% 2.45% 3.16% 港元銀行存款 HKD Bank Deposit 1.42% (年息 Annualized 5.64%) 1.44% (年息 Annualized 5.71%) 1.24% (年息 Annualized 4.92%) 美元銀行存款 USD Bank Deposit 1.41% (年息 Annualized 5.14%) 1.42% 1.22% 香港亞太研究所資料室開放時間 O p e n i n g H o u r s of H K I A P S D o c u m e n t a t i on U n it 香港亞太研究所資料室不斷搜羅香港及東亞的最新研究 資料，其中包括五十年代迄今的香港剪報和該所出版的研究 著作，歡迎員生使用。 資料室的開放時間為週一至週五下午二時至四時四十五分， 以及週二和週四上午九時半至下午十二時四十五分。 The Documentation Unit of the Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies houses an uninterrupted collection of Hong Kong newspaper clippings since the mid-1950s and of countless unpublished surveys (private and agency studies).
