CHANGE IN NAME. DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY OF T H E COLLEGE O F PHARMACY. MEDICAL CENTER (26) T h e faculty and the Head of the Department of Chemistry of the College of Pharmacy have recommended a change in the name of the department to "Department of Medicinal Chemistry" effective September 1, 1971. T h e term "medicinal chemistry" has today been accepted for a large number of similar departments in other colleges of pharmacy. Although the term "medicinal chemistry" was once reserved for work involving only the synthesis of organic compounds with potential biological activity, it is now more broadly used to describe the work of various types of chemists who work on all types of chemical problems dealing with synthesis, structure elucidation, molecular mechanisms of drug action, drug metabolism, and toxicology. T h e change proposed will more accurately reflect the nature of the academic unit involved. T h e recommendation has been reviewed and concurred in by the faculty and the Dean of the College of Pharmacy. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost also concur. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . P o g u e , 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 . CHANGE IN T H E CREDIT-HOUR DEFINITIONS OF RANGE I AND RANGE II IN THE S C H E D U L E FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF T U I T I O N (27) T h e University Committee on Fees 1 has recommended the following changes in the definitions of Ranges I and II in the tuition schedule: Present Proposed Above 10 12 credit hours credit hours and above (Above 2^£ units) (3 units and above) Range II Above 5 through 10 Above 5 but less credit hours than 12 credit hours (Above l i 4 through (Above U/i but 2^4 units) less than 3 units) A major reason for proposing these changes is to achieve consistency in the definition of a "full-time student" in various usages both within and outside the University. For purposes of official enrollment statistics, a full-time student is defined to be one carrying a minimum of 12 credit hours, and this is the minimum used by Selective Service and other governmental agencies. It is proposed that these changes become effective as of September 1, 1972. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . H o w a r d , 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 .
