1958] U N I V E R S I T Y OF I L L I N O I S "59 CHANGES IN GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION FROM T H E COLLEGE OF COMMERCE A N D BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (5) The Urbana Senate recommends adoption of the following general requirements for bachelor's degrees from the College of Commerce and Business Administration to replace existing requirements: A total of 126 semester hours, excluding credit for physical education and basic military, to be effective for all students entering the College after January I, 1958. A 3.0 or above average in the sophomore, junior, and senior courses (i.e., the 200- and 300-level courses as numbered in University catalogs) in the field of concentration, to be effective for all students entering the College after January 1, 1958. A two-hour course in hygiene other than Hygiene 101, to be effective for all students entering the College after January 1, 1958. Each student's requirements for graduation shall be those in effect when he first entered the College, provided he graduates within ten years of his first entrance. I concur. On motion of Mr. Williamson, these changes were approved. CHANGES IN REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION FROM THE COLLEGE OF FINE AND APPLIED ARTS (6) The College of Fine and Applied Arts has recommended that graduation requirements in all curricula be officially stated as follows: Bachelor of Architecture —157 hours plus the required work in military training and physical education Bachelor of Fine Arts (in advertising design, industrial design, history of art, painting, landscape architecture) — 122 hours plus the required work in military training and physical education Bachelor of Music—124 hours plus the required work in military training and physical education Bachelor of Science (in landscape operation, city planning) — 122 hours plus the required work in military training and physical education The effect of this is to reduce the number of credit hours required for graduation, but without changing the military training and physical education requirements, which stand. This is consistent with previous authorization of the several colleges and schools to revise the statements of their graduation requirements accordingly. Senate action is not required but the statement of the College of Fine and Applied Arts has nevertheless been approved by the Urbana Senate Committee on Educational Policy. I concur. On motion of Mr. Swain, these changes were approved. FEE FOR REGISTRATION OF CANDIDATES FOR DOCTOR'S DEGREES (7) A candidate for the doctor's degree who has passed the preliminary examinations is required to continue his registration in the Graduate College until he has passed the final examination, even though he may have completed the total unit requirements and is taking no more graduate courses. The Committee on Fees has recommended, and the Vice-President and Provost has authorized, subject to confirmation by the Board of Trustees, the establishment of a flat fee of $6.00 each semester ($4.00 each term at the Chicago Professional Colleges) to be assessed each doctoral candidate, resident or nonresident, who registers for zero credit in accordance with the Graduate College requirement. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this fee was authorized. SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR NONRECURRING EXPENDITURES (8) The Committee on Nonrecurring Appropriations recommends assignments of funds from the General Reserve for the following purposes: i. Department of Zoology, remodeling in Vivarium Building $19 000 00
