Faculties of the individual colleges take immediate action to establish sequences in each of the basic courses, subject to approval by the appropriate Senate Committee on Educational Policy. After three years of experience with these requirements, consideration be given to increasing the minimum in each of the three basic areas to nine semester hours and to including a reading knowledge of one foreign language.

CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH IN ACCOUNTING (11) The Dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration recommends establishment within the Department of Accountancy of a "Center for International Education and Research in Accounting" for the extension and formalizing of the Department's work in accounting on an international scale. A more complete statement of the proposal for such a Center is submitted herewith and a copy is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. As indicated in this statement, the Center will be a part of the Department of Accountancy, will be housed in the Department on a permanent basis, and the staff of the Department will serve the programs of the Center. No additional funds are being requested at this time and it is expected that publications and conferences will be underwritten by grants from outside sources. All recommending officers have been consulted and concur in the proposal. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
