1987] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 241 Redesignation of Department of Physical Education, Urbana (11) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended that the name of the Department of Physical Education be changed to the Department of Kinesiology, effective immediately. The traditional usage suggests the training of teachers of physical activity. However, teacher training has become less important in the department in the last ten years, now amounting to thirty percent of the undergraduate program, with little activity at the graduate level. The primary concentration in the curriculum is the study of human movement, kinesiology. The new designation should provide an accurate description of the program as at other major universities. N o budgetary or staff implications are associated with the recommendation. The chancellor and the vice president for academic affairs concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst this recommendation was approved. President's Report on Actions of the Senates Revision of Options I, II, and III, Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, Chicago (12) The Chicago Senate has approved the following revisions to Options I, II, and III of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Education: (1) increase the general education natural sciences requirement in all three options from 15 to 18-20 hours; (2) revise and reduce the Skill Analysis and Teaching Progression requirement for Options I and II from 15 courses, 25 hours, to 7 courses, 17 hours; (3) increase the electives hours in both Options I and I I ; (4) change the title of Option III from Non-Teacher Certification to General Physical Education; (5) change the total hours required for Option III from 180 quarter hours to 180-190 quarter hours; (6) change the hours required for specializations under Option III from 66 hours to 69-82 hours and revise the requirements for existing specializations in Dance, Exercise Physiology, and General Physical Education; (7) add under Option III new specializations in Athletic Training, Recreational Sport Leadership, and Kinesiotherapy; and (8) eliminate the supplemental programs in Athletic Training, Kinesiotherapy, and Recreation. The addition of a mathematics requirement under the natural sciences general education requirement is necessary due to changes in teacher certification requirements. T o accommodate these additional hours, the required Skill Analysis and Teaching Progression core courses were changed and the hours reduced. Revision of the Teaching Minor in Mathematics, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended revision of the requirements for the Teaching Minor in Mathematics, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, effective fall 1987. The State Certification Board has established new requirements for teaching mathematics in the State of Illinois, and this revision modifies the teaching minor requirements accordingly. The requirements are now separated into two parts, one for secondary school teachers and one for middle school teachers. There will be a total of 25 required hours for students in a teaching curriculum other than mathematics who wish to teach mathematics in high school and 18 hours for those who wish to teach mathematics in middle school. This report was received for record.
