The agenda was approved as distributed.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

R. Ironside referred to the minutes of the Special meeting of

November 29, 1976 and asked that paragraph 4 on page 3 be extended

to include the preference of the Vice-President, Academic for the

alternatives included in Paper S.76-152. The Chairman agreed that

inclusion could be made.

The Secretary has since altered paragraph 4 of page 3 of the

minutes of the Special meeting of November 29, 1976 to read as follows:

"B. Wilson rejected the argument that there was an undue gamble and

stated his preference was currently in favor of Alternative C. He

noted that no speakers had spoken for either A or E. T. Dobb indicated

his support for A, with B. MacDonald and R. Ironside speaking for D,

R. Carlson for C, and J. Ellis for B."

The minutes of Senate's meetings of November 29, 1976 (as extended)

and the Open Session of December 6, 1976 were approved.

BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES

K. Okuda expressed personal concern relating to the action of the

Board of Governors in altering Senate's motion regarding the proposal

for Interior programming, and suggested there was a need for improved

liaison between the Board and the Senate. The Chairman agreed but noted

that time constraints were a major factor and as there was concern regard-

ing fiscal commitments, the Board's action was appropriately directed to

a matter under its jurisdiction. She stated that the Senate Committee on

Agenda and Rules would be asked to consider possible means to create a

formal link between Senate and the Board of Governors.

S.M. 10/1/77

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN

SIn response to a request by L. Severy that Senators receive copies

of a report from the University of British Columbia on Post-Secondary

Education in the Interior, the Chairman stated that both UBC and the

University of Victoria had prepared comments but that it appeared more

appropriate that the documents be first discussed by the Senate Committee

on Academic Planning. She added that the Universities Council had re-

quested an estimate of costs of the planning operations, that this was in

course of preparation covering the balance of the current fiscal year and

the next fiscal year, and that the Chairman of the Senate Committee on

University Budget would be informed of the contents of that document. She

advised that no indication has been received from the government of accep-

tance or rejection of SF U's proposal.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

F. Cunningham drew attention to the quantities of paper which which

had been required for distribution of current Senate materials, and sug-

gested that waste should be curtailed. A number of Senators offered pro-

posals for reducing costs, and it was agreed that comments should be

referred to the Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules in order that considera-

tion could be given by that body to recommendations which may prove more

acceptable to Senate than those of the Paper Committee which had been re-

jected in August 1976. SCAR would submit recommendations to the next meeting

of Senate.

1) Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies

Moved by D. Birch, seconded by J. Catalano,

"That Papers S.76-172 through S.76-188, covering

revisions of a minor nature for calendar, be approved

Note: The present calendar entry for FPA. 110-6 - The Arts in Context:

The Renaissance, reads as follows:

"A selective study of painting, sculpture, architecture, music,

and theatre in the context of the Renaissance. Tutorials will

involve practical explorations in a single art form in relation

to the styles of the period."

In order to more accurately reflect the variety of instructional

methods it is proposed that the last sentence be changed to read:

practical explorations in that form in relation to the styles

of the period."

MOTION CARRIED

Paper S.76-177 - New Course Proposals - Communication Studies

It had been moved by K. Okuda and seconded by T. Sterling, and

approved that Paper S.76-177 be separated for consideration.

Moved and seconded,

"That Senate approve, and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors, the following proposed new

courses in the Department of Communication Studies,

as set forth in S.76-177:

NNS 430-5 - Communications and Cultural Form II

CIYINS 434-5 - The Political Economy of International

Communications

CMNS 438-5 - Telecommunications Regulation in

North America."

•

D. Birch stated that the Department had requested a minor correc-

tion in the title of CNNS 438-5 to alter it from "Telecommunications

Regulation In North America" to "Telecommunications Regulation in Canada

and the U.S.A." and this was accepted In the motion. R. Brown advised

- 10 -

S.M. 10/1/77

• that a page covering the schedule and readings for CMNS 455-5 had been

inadvertently inserted following the course outline for CM1IS 300-5 and

that this should be removed from the documentation.

W. Melody, Chairman of the Department of Communication Studies,

was invited to join the assembly, and informed the membership that two

new faculty members had been appointed and a third was scheduled to join

the Department in the Fall 1977, removing any possible overload condition

in the mounting of the five new courses. K. Okuda questioned the adequacy

of the prerequisites for the topic outline of CMNS 438, and he was in-

formed that the focus was on the nature and formulation of public policy,

concepts that could be taught at various levels of sophistication and

would not require extensive knowledge of economic theory. It was also

noted that the 5 credit hour assignment in the total program was currently

under review.

Question was called, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

Paper S.76-178 - Program Change - Department of Criminology

Moved and seconded,

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors the Department of Criminology

to modify the Upper Levels Calendar statement to read:

'The remainder is normally to be taken from courses

listed below in Group B. For any given semester, the

Criminology Department might add other-relevant courses

to those listed in Group B Below."

Note: This change is intended to enable Criminology majors to take

advantage of especially relevant courses, particularly Selected

Topics, offered from time to time by other departments.

MOTION CARRIED

ii) Paper S.76-180 - New Course Proposal - KIN. 450-5

It had been moved by K. Okuda and seconded by T. Sterling, and

approved that Paper S.76-180 be separated for consideration.

Moved and seconded,

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors, the new course proposal for

KIN. 450-5, as set forth in S.76-180, with the

provision that the course be graded on a PASS!

WITHDRAW basis."

K. Okuda enquired if there were other internship courses with credit

and he was informed that similar practicums were offered in Computing

Science, Mathematics and Clinical Chemistry. T. Calvert noted that the

proposal was an optional upper division course, not required for the

degree. On a question raised with respect to liability of the university,

D. Birch responded that R. Walsh, with informed assistance from J. Ellis,

had been pursuing the matter and the opinion was that if certain precautions

were observed liability could be avoided.

Question was called, and a vote taken.

1) Paper S.76-181 - Canadian Studies Program - New Course

Proposals - CN.S 201-3 and CN.S 202-3

Moved and seconded,

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors the new course proposals for

CN.S 201-3 and CN.S 202-3, as set forth in S.76-181."

Note: Canadian Studies 200-3 is essentially a selected topics course.

The provision of two additional course numbers at the same level

is intended to make it possible for a student to take more than

one such course. Therefore, in any given course students may be

registered under each of the three numbers. Only one of the

three may be credited toward the 9 lower division credit hours

required for a Canadian Studies minor.

j) Paper S.76-182 - Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies - New

Course Proposals - G.S. 402-5 and G.S. 403-5

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors, the new course proposals for

G.S. 402-5 and G.S. 403-5, as set forth in S.76-182."

Note: These two courses are approved for offering once only. Any sub-

sequent offering would require re-submission of a proposal

including evaluation of the courses as taught in 77-3 and 78-1.

B. Emery asked for the rationale for one-time offerings and sug-

gested that the courses could be mounted as special topics. D. Birch

responded that General Studies was set up to provide courses of general

interest which are not available in existing departments and which are

integrative courses to teach on a range of disciplines, and that it was

useful to gather data on the basis of a single offering.

Question was called, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

k) Paper S.76-183 - Department of Physics - Curriculum Changes,

Course Changes and New Course Proposals

It had been moved by T. Sterling and approved that Paper S.76-183 be

separated for consideration.

Moved and seconded,

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors the Physics proposed changes, as

set forth in S.76-183, including:

Deletion of existing courses:

S.M. 10/1/77

Approval of a new course for those students who

require a prerequisite for PHYS 101-3 and 120-3:

PHYS 100-3 Introduction to Physics.

Change in description and prerequisite for PHYS

101-3 and in description for PHYS 102-3 and In

prerequisites for PHYS 131-2, 231-2, 232-3, 233-2,

Change in lower division requirements for a

Physics major and for Physics honors.

Note: The response of other postsecondary institutions to these proposals

is very positive since they will make it easier for students to

transfer between institutions.

T. Sterling considered the proposal represents a change in policy of

the Physics Department and would not be in the best interest of students

because reduced flexibility to sample courses outside the department would

result. A. Curzon responded that the proposal was an improvement to the

existing program and provided an opportunity to broaden the background of

high school students. J. Catalano added that the proposal would permit

entering students to prepare for second year courses.

Question was called, and a vote taken.

Discussion was concentrated on the Graduate Seminars proposed in

EDUC 840 and 841, and members of the Faculty of Education explained

that the intention was to bring together those students enrolled in

the evening program with those taking the smaller daytime program for

the pursuit of scholarly interests and provide an opportunity for

faculty advisers to discuss theses proposals, and that the student

has the option of taking the Seminar on a voluntary basis for Satis-

factory/Unsatisfactory grading under EDUC 840, or participate fully

with a designed course under EDIJC 841 for credit.

Moved by J. D'Auria, seconded by J. Catalano,

"That EDUC 840 and EDUC 841 be separated from
