1446 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 24 DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICAL AND ASTRONAUTICAL ENGINEERING (9) On recommendation of the College of Engineering, the name of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering has been changed to Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering to identify more accurately its educational and research programs. On recommendation of the Executive Committee of the College of Engi neering and the Executive Committee of the Graduate College, and with the concurrence of the Urbana-Champaign Senate, the designation of the degrees of Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy offered bj the Department have also been changed to reflect the change in name of the Department. These changes are being reported for record. On motion of Mr. Harewood, these actions were confirmed. CHANGES IN MAJORS AND MINORS IN THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES (10) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved for submission to the Board of Trustees a recommendation from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Council on Teacher Education for changes in majors and minors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in botany, Latin-American studies, honors program in mathematics, music, rhetoric, speech and theatre, and physiology. A supporting memorandum giving the details of these changes, most of which are minor revisions, is submitted herewith and a copy is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. The Senate Coordinating Council indicates that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. These changes are effective for students enrolling in September, 1962, and thereafter. Although Board approval is not required, they are nevertheless being reported for official record. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, the actions taken were confirmed.

The Urbana-Champaign Senate also has approved a recommendation from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that the name of the general curriculum in the College be changed to the sciences and letters curriculum beginning with the academic year 1963-64. This new name is a more accurate description of the nature of the curriculum and should minimize the confusion which exists in the mind of a new student who has difficulty distinguishing between the general curriculum and the Division of General Studies. The Senate Coordinating Council indicates that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved in the above matters. Formal action by the Board is not required, but these changes are being reported for official record. On motion of Mr. Williamson, these actions were confirmed. CURRICULUM PREPARATORY TO THE TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES (12) On recommendation of the Urbana-Champaign Senate, the curriculum preparatory to the teaching of mathematics and physical sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has been discontinued due to the lack of student interest in this curriculum. This action is being reported for record. This report was received for record.
