N E W C U R R I C U L U M OPTION IN HOME ECONOMICS (7) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Agriculture and the Department of Home Economics for authorization of a new option, foods and business, in the undergraduate curriculum in home economics. In addition to meeting the other requirements in the home economics curriculum, the following specific courses will be included in the new option: Home Economics 220, Dietetics; 231, Foods; and 330, Experimental Foods, are required. Six additional hours are to be selected from Home Economics 326, Demonstration Problems and Techniques; 331, Problems in Foods; and 375, Home Equipment. Journalism 211, Newswriting; Marketing 101, Principles of Marketing; Rhetoric 151, Business Letter Writing; and Speech 101, Principles of Effective Speaking, are required, and an additional twelve hours are to be selected from Accountancy 201, Fundamentals of Accounting; Advertising 281, Introduction to Advertising; Home Economics 240, Quantity Food Production and Service; 322, Physical Growth and Nutrition; Journalism 223, Photo-Journalism; 326, Magazine Article Writing; Management 248, Personnel Administration; Radio and Television 264, Radio and Television Performance; and Speech 111, Business and Professional Speaking. No new courses are involved in this change as all those listed are now being offered. The option is being established to meet a student demand for such a program to provide training in various phases of the foods industry. The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . J o h n s t o n , t h i s c u r r i c u l u m w a s a p p r o v e d . CURRICULUM IN MEDICAL ART (8) The three Senates recommend, the Senate Coordinating Council concurring therein, authorization, effective in September, 1963, of a new curriculum in medical a r t leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Art, to be conferred by the College of Fine and Applied Arts at Urbana. Requirements for admission to this curriculum will be the same as those for admission to other curricula in art. The curriculum in medical art will consist of five years of study, the first three years at Urbana-Champaign and the fourth and fifth years at the Medical Center. During the first three years, physical and biological sciences and art, particularly drawing, will be emphasized. A total of ninety-five semester hours, with a minimum scholastic average of 3.5, will be required for admission to the fourth and fifth years at the Medical Center. Study during the final two years will include work in the anatomy laboratories and in medical art studios to develop skills and techniques in all media of illustration. The standard residence requirement will be applicable: a student must earn the first ninety semester hours or the last thirty hours in residence at Urbana. In this curriculum, the last thirty semester hours prior to study at the Medical Center may be used in lieu of the last thirty hours prior to receipt of a degree. This new program involves no budgetary increases. The courses to be given are now being offered by the several departments at Urbana-Champaign and by the Department of Medical Art at the Medical Center. This new, degree-granting curriculum will replace a present certificate program in medical art now offered at the Medical Center. Degrees in medical art are being offered at three of the seven medical art schools in the United States and the University of Illinois should continue to maintain leadership in the training of medical artists for whom there is an increasing demand. Submitted herewith is a supporting statement giving the details of this new program, a copy of which is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Board of Higher Education. O n m o t i o n of M r s . W a t k i n s , 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 .
