From

Senate Committee onUndergraduate 

Studies 

Date

October21, 

,,.. 

1977

Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate 

Studies at its meeting of October 18, 1977 gives rise to 

the following motion: 

MOTION 

"That the new course proposals for ITAL 100-3, 

Introductory Italian I, and ITAL 101-3, Introductory 

Italian II, as set forth in S. 77-126, be approved 

and recommended to the Board of Governors 

for approval." 

•

?

Note - these courses were previously approved for 

a one-time offering and were mounted 

in

the Spring and Summer 

semesters of 1977 respectively. ITAL 100-3 enrolled approx- 

imately 30 students with 21 remaining in the course to the 

end of the semester and ITAL 101-3 enrolled approximately 

15 with 10 remaining throughout. 

SCUS did not approve a waiver of the time lag requirement 

and it is expected that, should the courses be approved, they 

will be mounted late afternoon or evening in the Fall semester, 

1978 and the Spring semester 1979.

The Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee at its meeting 

of September 29, 1977 passed Italian 100-3 and Italian 101-3 

for a one time only offering in Spring 1978 and Summer 1978. 

These courses were offered by the Department in the 

Spring and the Summer of 1977. As these are Language 

Courses in Italian, and no courses in the language are 

offered in the University,' have not sent them to other 

faculties for overlap con sidera±iOn. Please place them 

on the agenda of the next s.c.u.s. meeting. 

Thank you.

STATEMENT REGARDING ITALIAN COURSE OFFERINGS 

September 21, 1977 

.

The two Italian courses which have been given on a temporary basis, 

with the agreement of university authorities, have met with evident success 

among our students. The enrolment figures, indicated below, show that we 

had enough students to open two groups in Spring '77 and I must mention 

that some students could not be admitted to the course because there were 

already too many students in each group. The Summer course which was a 

continuation of the Spring course shows a lower enrolment figure because 

of the time of year. A more significant number of students would have 

registered for Fall semester. 

It is interesting to note that our initiative has received the best 

possible support from the Italian community in Vancouver, particularly 

from the Italian Consul General who provided us with teaching materials 

and helped us find a Sessional Lecturer to teach the course. From my 

previous discussions with the Italian Consul General, there is a possibility 

that the Italian Consulate is willing to help finance this project and 

assist the University to pay the teacher's salary. It has been clearly 

stated that whatever financial help the Italian authorities would provide 

us with, the selection and appointment of the teacher would remain our 

responsibility. 

I would also like to point out that during July 1977, Dr. Lincoln, who 

was Acting Chairman of the Department at the time, spoke to Dean Blaney 

and was advised that Continuing Studies would have no objection to financing 

another offering of Italian 100 and 101 as long as the necessary approval 

to offer Italian again was received from university authorities.
