Professor Morrill called the meeting to order at 9:05.
 

The proposal from the Department of Communication to allow its majors to 
fulfill the general education statistics requirement and a social science 
elective through completion of any social sciences statistics course was 
approved.  The committee noted the limited ability of the other social science 
departments to accommodate additional students in their statistics courses and 
was assured by the faculty advisor for the Department of Communication that 
MATH 109 would continue to be recommended to most students.  

The committee approved new requirements for the major in English, effective 
97F.  Requirements for the minor in English are not affected, though Professor 
Byers said that the department may consider changes at a later time.

The following course actions were approved, effective 97U unless otherwise
