1969] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 275 The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved1. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Board of Higher Education. (The University will now submit the full program in Slavic languages, including the establishment of the department, to the Board of Higher Education.) O n m o t i o n of M r .

CURRICULUM IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE, URBANA (13) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a proposal sponsored by the Department of Electrical Engineering, College of Engineering, with the concurrence of the Department of Computer Science, for the establishment of a new curriculum designation, "Curriculum in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science," leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This proposal gives formal recognition to a program that has been followed by many students in recent years. However, the designation of this curriculum on the student's transcript will identify him with a new and nationally recognized discipline that bridges the gap between the two departments. The program provides the education and training required for the design and development of computers, in which activity Electrical Engineering has played a unique role from the beginning; the establishment of this curriculum will enhance the already existing close cooperation between the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended to me that the proposal be approved and the Executive Vice President and Provost concurs. The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. Submitted herewith is an outline of the curriculum, a copy of which is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Board of Higher Education. O n m o t i o n of M r . H a h n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d . INCREASE IN SPECIAL FEE FOR FLIGHT-TRAINING COURSES, URBANA (14) Students enrolled in flight-training courses in the Institute of Aviation are charged a special fee of $375 per semester course. The cost study recently completed has shown that the Institute presently fails to recover sufficient funds from these special fees to meet the costs of operations, including the amount required to offset depreciation of the training aircraft. Furthermore, the need to replace several basic-training aircraft will mean an increase in the cost of operating the new airplanes as well as an increase in the amounts to be set aside for depreciation. In order to provide the additional funds needed to offset the losses and the expected increases in costs, the Director of the Institute of Aviation, with the concurrence of the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, recommends the following increases in fees : 1. As of September 1, 1969, that the special flight fee be increased to $475 per semester course. 2. As of September 1, 1970, that the special flight fee be further increased to $550 per semester course. The University Committee on Fees' recommends approval of these proposals. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . G r i m e s , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d . 1 The membership of the University Committee on Fees is as follows: Executive Vice President and Provost, Chairman, Vice President and Comptroller, the three Chancellors, the University Director of School and College Relations.
