THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES CURRICULUM (11) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate recommends authorization of a new agricultural industries curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. The curriculum developed by the Colleges of Agriculture and Commerce and Business Administration is designed to meet a changing trend in demand for graduates in agriculture by placing increased emphasis on business and economic training in addition to providing a broad selection of courses in agricultural sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, communications, and the humanities. This is part of an over-all program of the two colleges envisaging further development of curriculum involving both agriculture and commerce. The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved in this question. 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. On motion of Mr. Herrick, this curriculum was authorized. ALTERNATE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR MILITARY TRAINING (12) The University Committee on Military Affairs has made a study of the problem of students who, because of reasons of conscience, object to taking military science courses. As a result of its study, the Committee has come to the conclusion that the University should adopt a plan under which conscientious objectors may petition to be excused from the compulsory military science requirement. The Committee believes that a student should be excused only on the basis of conscience and that, if excused, he should be obliged to enroll in some courses which would give him a better understanding of international politics and the history of warfare. The Committee on Military Affairs recommends that the Board of Trustees be asked to adopt a policy permitting conscientious objectors to petition to substitute prescribed courses for the compulsory first two years of military science. The Committee recommends that a University Committee on Military Science be appointed by the President to consider the petitions of conscientious objectors. It is recommended that this committee include the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, the Dean of Students, and at least one faculty member who 's not a member of the Military Affairs Committee. The Committee recommends that the Board of Trustees authorize an appeal from an adverse decision by the University Committee on Military Science to the President.
