"That the election to fill the vacant position 

S ?

.- 4 - ? 

S.M. 3/6/74 

S. Smith considered that opportunity should be given to the newly 

elected student Senator, who is one of the candidates in the election 

to the Academic Planning Committee, to become familiar with the opera- 

tion of Senate and the responsibilities of its various related Committees, 

and for Senators to have opportunity to know more of her.

MOTION TO POSTPONE CARRIED 

2. Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies 

1. Paper S.74-75 - Department of Biological Sciences - New Course 

Proposals, Marine Science 

Moved by J. Barlow, seconded by K. Rieckhoff, 

"That Senate approve, as set forth in S.74-75, 

the new course proposals for: 

MASC 411-6 - Comparative Embryology of Marine 

Invertebrates 

MASC 412-6 - Biology of Fishes 

MASC 435-6 - Introduction to Biological? 

Oceanography." 

VJ. Barlow pointed out that, due to an omission, the prerequisite 

statement for MASC 435-6 was incomplete, and it should read: 

"Biology 204-3, Biology 306-3 or Biology 326-3. The normal 

Chemistry and Physics requirements for the BioScience program 

or their equivalents, must precede." 

The Chairman stated that the prerequisite statement would be subsumed 

in the motion. 

D. DeVoretz asked for the rationale for the additional prerequisites 

and J. Barlow responded that, as some Biology. stUdents tend to leave the 

Physics requirements until the end of their programs, the prerequisite 

would ensure the necessary preparation for enrolment in this course. 

Question was called, and a vote taken. 

MOTION CARRIED 

Moved by J. Barlow, seconded by K. Rieckhoff,. 

"That Senate waive the normal two semester time 

lag requirement in order that these courses may

Question was called, and a vote taken. 

MOTION CARRIED 

Moved by K. Rieckhoff, seconded by S. Smith, 

"That Senate approve that the new graduate 

course proposals, as set forth in S.74-76, 

be first offered in the Spring 1975." 

Question was called, and a vote taken. 

MOTION CARRIED 

Referring to the calendar statement with respect to the Ph.D.
