CHICAGO CIRCLE (11) The Chicago Circle Senate has approved a proposal from the College of Engineering for the establishment of major fields of concentration in industrial engineering, transportation systems engineering, and urban systems engineering as parts of the engineering curriculum, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. The programs, in common with previously approved curricula for the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering at Chicago Circle, will consist of a common core curriculum of 111 quarter hours; 35-36 hours in the major field; and humanitiessocial sciences and elective courses for a total of 198 quarter hours exclusive of physical education and basic military science. T h e Chancellor at Chicago Circle 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 further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Board of Higher Education.

MAJOR IN SLAVIC LANGUAGES, CHICAGO CIRCLE (12) The Chicago Circle Senate has approved the establishment of a major in Slavic languages leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The development of this curriculum is a response to the increasing interest in Russian and other Slavic languages. In recent months, inquiries received from local high schools and individuals indicate the probability of substantially increased enrollments in this field in the near future. Offerings in Russian at the lower level have for some time been staffed and administered through the Department of German. A Department of Slavic Languages was authorized by the Board of Trustees in February, 1966, subject to further action by the Board of Higher Education. Under this authorization, a department head was sought to plan and coordinate the curricular development upon which submission of the departmental proposal was contingent. On July 24, 1968, the appointment of Dr. Nicholas Moravcevich as head of the new department was approved by the Board. With the development of the curricula in slavic languages the increasing demand in this area can be met and it is expected that the recruitment of the needed high quality staff can be enhanced. The Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus has recommended to me that the proposal be approved and the Executive Vice President and Provost concurs.
