"Degree Requirements"
The faculty never got past the section on
"Degree Requirements," which were outlined
in the first two paragraphs of the Curriculum
Committee's four page proposal. Specific
proposals not yet considered include the
lowering of the requirement for foreign
language and the alternative of taking six hours
credit of "foreign culture," a liberalization of
the science, humanities and social sciences
requirements; the awarding of degree credit for
ROTC; removal of the requirement for physical
education; and the creation of a non-major
major or University major.
John Moore, chairman of the Curriculum
committee, noted that two other areas the
comprehensive examination and the University
Major were mentioned in the section on
Degree Requirements, but suggested that these
points would be best considered in a later
section of the committee report.
Another special session of the November 18
faculty meeting, when discussion on the
Curriculum Committee's report first took place,
will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2
in Wilson Hall auditorium. The next regular
College Faculty meeting is scheduled for
December 17.
