O n motion of Mr. J o n e s , these a p p o i n t m e n t s w e r e confirmed. TRANSFER OF BUSINESS EDUCATION C U R R I C U L U M , URBANA (8) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved the transfer of the Curriculum Preparatory to Teaching Commercial Subjects leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Commercial Teaching from the College of Commerce and Business Administration to the College of Education. Under the transfer proposal, the curriculum will be known as Business Education and the degree granted will be the Bachelor of Science in Business Education. The general outline for this proposal was developed by an Ad Hoc Committee on Business Education which was appointed when the College of Commerce and Business Administration requested that it be allowed to discontinue the curriculum. The transfer and the changes in the name of the curriculum and the degree title are made to complement other offerings of the Department of Vocational and Technical Education, College of Education; and to meet emerging needs in the public school curriculum. The business education programs in Illinois secondary schools, community colleges, and area vocational schools are being revised and expanded to fulfill newly denned purposes in vocational education. The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. 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. Jones, this recommendation was approved.

CONTRACT WITH THE COLLEGE OF JEWISH STUDIES. CHICAGO CIRCLE (9) The Chicago Circle Senate has recommended approval of a contract with The College of Jewish Studies in Chicago, under which students at the Chicago Circle campus would be permitted to enroll in certain courses in the Hebrew language taught by The College of Jewish Studies and receive credit therefore from the University of Illinois. The course content, curriculum, facilities, and professional staff of The College of Jewish Studies which would be used in fulfilling its obligations under this contractual arrangement have been thoroughly investigated and have been determined to meet University standards in all respects. The University will pay The College of Jewish Studies the sum of five dollars per credit quarter hour (fifteen dollars per course) for students enrolled in such courses under this agreement. It is estimated that between sixty and one hundred students will be so enrolled each academic quarter. Funds are available in the budget of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Participation in the agreement will permit the University to expand its language program to offer Hebrew-, without the expense of additional staff and facilities necessary to offer the same program on a wholly internal basis. The initial term of this agreement will cover the remainder of the 1969-70 academic year, but it can be renewed so long as the relationship remains satisfactory to all concerned. The Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Jones, this recommendation was approved by the following vote; Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Jones, Mr. Steger; no, none; absent, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Page, Mr. Stone, Mr. Swain.
