The present specification of academic units has made it difficult for students from certain high schools, from which the Chicago Circle campus draws, to qualify. T h e University Committee on Admissions has concurred in the proposed changes. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. The Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost endorse this proposal. I recommend approval. Present Requirements English 3 units Algebra 2 units Plane Geometry 1 unit Trigonometry Vi unit Foreign Language (one language) 2 units One or more units in each of the following for a total of 4 units : Science (except General Science) Social Studies On motion of Mr. Jones, this recommendation was approved. UNDERGRADUATE RESIDENCE HALL FLEXIBLE LIVING PLAN, URBANA (17) At its meeting on December 10, 1970, the Committee on Buildings and Grounds considered a proposal for the modification of certain residence halls to provide flexible living arrangements analogous to those existing in more recently-constructed facilities. After receiving the recommendation of the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and further information from student representatives and other administrative officers, the Vice President and Comptroller and the President concurring, the Committee voted to recommend approval of the proposed plan to the Board of Trustees. T h e modifications proposed have been under consideration by the administration at Urbana for some time and have been successfully carried out at other campuses in recent years. More recently-constructed campus residence hall areas reflect a policy approved by the administration and the Board of Trustees to encourage a variety of normal social living contacts rather than the inflexibility of living patterns imposed by the design and structure of older residence halls. Administrative officers in the Housing Division and the Dean of Students Office have worked in consultation with officers of student residence hall organizations to develop a plan which would meet four administrative criteria: that there be no reduction in security; that the plan make no change in existing visitation rules or lessen their enforceability; that the cost be within present budgetary and financial constraints; and that modifications not require dislocation of some students to accommodate others to any significant degree. The plan provides a variety of modifications for adaptation to the various designs of existing halls. Some halls have remained designated for men only or for women only. The total estimated costs, including loss of revenue, will amount to $28,500 a year. These costs can be met from tuition monies now pledged to pay bonds. In the future, such costs will have to be taken into account in considering future rent increases. On motion of Mr. Clement, the proposed plan was approved.
