liminary examination, the dissertation, and the Anal examination. The work in minor fields will consist of not less than four units. The preliminary examination must demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of marketing, an understanding of economic theory and its relationship to marketing, and an acquaintance with the subject matter and bibliography of the various areas of marketing. The Senate Coordinating Council indicates that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

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

GRADUATE DEGREE IN ANIMAL NUTRITION

(21) Two graduate programs leading to the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Nutrition are now offered by the Department of Animal Science. To eliminate the confusion which exists relative to the two degrees, the Department, the Graduate College, and the UrbanaChampaign Senate recommend that the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Nutrition be discontinued. This is a change in nomenclature and Implies no change in course content or degree requirements. Students interested in animal nutrition will continue to take the same courses as before and to do research in this area but will receive the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science. This change will not affect students currently enrolled in the program but will apply to all new students enrolling after September 1, 1960. The Senate Coordinating Council indicates that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur.

On .motion of Mr. Hughes, this change was approved.

MAJOR IN AGRICULTURAL COMMUNICATIONS

(22) The Urbana-Champaign Senate recommends authorization of a new major in agricultural communications in the existing curriculum in General Agriculture. The major, approved by the faculty of the College of Agriculture and developed in cooperation with the College of Journalism and Communications, will provide training for students interested in the farm newspaper or magazine field, farm radio and television, advertising, agricultural public relations, agricultural college and United States Department of Agriculture editorial work, and other positions requiring education in both agriculture and communications. The major follows the same basic pattern as other majors in the General Agriculture curricuium with a basic core program being followed dnring the freshman and sophomore years. As in other majors, the student must complete a minimum of fifty hours of agriculture and twelve hours of humanities and social science (in addition to Economics 108 and Speech 101). He must also complete twenty hours in one of the journalism and communications options as provided. The Senate Coordinating Council indicates that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Hughes, this program was authorized.
