following motion:

MOTION: "That Senate approve and recommend approval to

thBardofGovernors, as set-forth--in-S--84-5,9

the proposed graduate curriculum changes in the

Department of Kinesiology:-

i)

New Graduate Course - KINES 806-3 - Special

Topics

ii)

Change in title and description for

KINES 850-3

S ?

FROM: KINES 850-3 Selected Topics in Mammalian Bioenergetics

A study of selected aspects of the energetics of human

function, from the thermodynamics of digestive absorption

or cardio-vascular function to the energy metabolism of

muscle or brain.

TO: ?

KINES 850-3 Cellular and Metabolic Control Systems

Molecular mechanisms of cellular control, and their

relationship to the integration of metabolism and

physiological function. The course will cover

mechanisms of hormone action, irnmunoregulation,

carcinogenesis, and the principles of metabolic

control.

Directed Studies. The Kineslology Graduate Program allows only one 805 (as directed

studies). Combination of 'special topics' and 'directed studies' has led to a lot

of confusion. It is felt that the two titles should be separated into two courses.

RENAMING AND CHANGE OF DESCRIPTION OF KINESIOLOGY 850

Change from:

Kines 850-3 Selected Topics In Mammalian Bloenergetics

A study of selected aspects of the energetics of human

function, from the thermodynamics of digestive absorption

or cardio-vascular function to the energy metabolism of

muscle or brain.

to:

Kines 850-3 Cellular and Metabolic Control Systems

Molecular mechanisms of cellular control, and their

relationship to the integration of metabolism and

physiological function. The course will cover mechanisms

of hormone action, immunoregulation, carcinogenesis, and

the principles of metabolic control.

JUSTIFICATION

A few years ago regulation of metabolism was taught alternately

with Exercise Biochemistry under Kines 850. For the last three years

Exercise Biochemistry has been taught by John Wilkinson as Kinesiology

805 while Kinesiology 850 has been offered under the subtitle Cellular

and Metabolic Control Systems by Allan Davison. Now that Exercise

Biochemistry has been formalised as Kinesiology 810, it is requested

that Kinesiology 850 be renamed Cellular and Metabolic Control Systems.

JUSTIFICATION

The Kinesiology Graduate Program allows one

Kinesiology 805 as 'directed studies'. At present

the title of Kinesiology 805 is Special Topics.

It is requested that it be changed to Kinesiology 805-3

Directed Studies. The Kinesiology Graduate Studies

Committee would like Special Topics to be given a. separate .

number, Kinesiology 806-3. Special Topics are generally

covered either by visiting faculty members or tenure track
