MAJOR IN QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CHICAGO CIRCLE (10) T h e Chicago Circle Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Business Administration for the establishment of a major field_ of specialization in Quantitative Methods, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. T h e program, in common with those curricula for the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Chicago Circle approved by the Board of Trustees on December 16, 1964, will consist of general education requirements (96 quarter hours), business core requirements (66 quarter hours), electives (8 quarter hours), and 16 quarter hours in the major field for a minimum total of 186 hours, exclusive of physical education. The Chancellor at Chicago Circle and the Executive Vice-President and Provost endorse this recommendation. T h e Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

CHICAGO CIRCLE (11) The College of Architecture and Art at Chicago Circle, with the concurrence of the Chicago Circle Senate, recommends that a Department of History of Architecture and Art be established within the College and the existing undergraduate degree programs in these fields (now offered through the Departments of Architecture and of Art) be placed within the purview of the new department. This proposal would involve the restructuring of the College to include a Department of History of Architecture and Art in addition to present components, the Department of Architecture and the Department of Art. Faculty members who now teach the history of architecture and the history of art would constitute the faculty of the new department. No additional budget or space requirements are involved. The programs for undergraduate majors in the fields of history of architecture and history of art would be administered by the new department, and the degree of Bachelor of Arts would be awarded. Courses in history of art and architecture required in other curricula of the College and elective courses for undergraduate students outside of the College will continue to be provided. The Senate Coordinating Council advises that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. This proposal has been endorsed by the Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus and by the Executive Vice-President and Provost. I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Mr. Grimes, this recommendation was approved.

CURRICULUM IN MEDICAL DIETETICS, MEDICAL CENTER (12) The Medical Center Senate recommends authorization of a curriculum in Medical Dietetics, within the School of Associated Medical Sciences, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Dietetics. The recommendation refers to recent studies which indicate that the number of dieticians expected to be available by 1970 will be far below projected needs. In addition, it is felt that there exists a need in hospitals for professional specialists in the field of applied nutrition who can assume responsibility for the dietary status of the patient. The proposed program, which emphasizes the biological and physical sciences and the application of nutritional principles, represents a relatively new approach to the field of dietetics in that it would integrate the knowledge learned in the classroom with its immediate application to the dietary needs of the patient, and would incorporate into the curriculum the latest developments in nutritional science. Minimum requirements for admission to the curriculum in Medical Dietetics in the School of Associated Medical Sciences are 60 semester to 90 quarter hours,
