?

In discussion with 

Harry Evans, some difficulties were raised, particularly the problem that, 

as the regulation 

is

presently written, it wil$'prevcnt a student with a 

degree entering our elementary program unless they have these courses. 

This includes perhaps 10 to 20 people per year. The effect of this 

regulation would be to drive them elsewhere. This might be no great problem, 

but such students are the kind 

normally seek to attract. I think it 

would be worthwhile to have a meeting to make sure we have exactly the wording 

we need 

achieve what we want. This regulation 

will

have wide-reaching 

ramifications for us. Karen Goodman will be in touch with you soon to set 

.a meeting time.

Progrwfl

During the past few years we have experimented with the 9-hour lower level 

prerequisite for the PE minor plus an "open" minor. The latter was designed 

to accommodate students located at external locations. The limitations of 

community college lower level offerings couple with "late deciders", has 

eliminated many potentially strong PE minors. Our recommendationi is to 

RECOMMEND 9 hours rather than make them mandtory. 

('j) .We are requesting a one entry semester due to major problems in the 

backgrounds of fall and spring entry students as they enter for summer 

semester. There is simply too large a gap in knowledge and experiences 

between the two groups. A second change occurs under Prof. Program 

Requirements. The major problem relates to available faculty to handle a 

spring intake. We do not have sufficient manpower to handle two different 

groups. 

Other minor changes relate to new courses we would like to recommend.
