Senate Document #6

                         APC Document #5



The Academic Policies Committee recommends to the Faculty Senate
the adoption of the following catalog changes:


Delete:        Biology 337, Cell Physiology

Add:           Biology 411, Biochemistry Laboratory (Chem 411) 
               (1 hr)

               Practice in standard current methods in
               biochemistry.  Techniques include isolation
               methods, identification and characterization,
               enzyme kinetics, radioisotopes and other
               procedures, experienced through a series of 
               open-ended experiments.  
               Prerequisites:  Chemistry 231, 221.

Rationale:     Student demand warrants offering Biological
               Biochemistry every year rather than alternating
               with the Cell Physiology.  Faculty load requires
               that the Cell Physiology be deleted as a
               consequence; student demand seconds this. 
               Laboratory experience in this area is still
               necessary so the addition must be made.



(Passed by Faculty Senate January 31, 1978.)
