                                SENATE DOCUMENT #1



                                 APC DOCUMENT #1 

              Changes in minor requirements for Literature & Language





        The Academic Policies Committee recommends to the Faculty Senate

        adoption of the following proposal to change major requirements for

        Literature and Language major, Program B (Journalism):  



        Catalog page affected:  128 (1980-81 edition) 



        Proposed Change:  Delete the entire final paragraph of Program B.

        Add paragraph as follows:  



             Competence on the intermediate level in a classical or modern

             foreign language is required for the program in Journalism.  



        Rationale:  A journalism major--one who proposes to make the use of

        language his or her career speciality--needs a broad range of

        experience in language, all languages.  The department does not

        want to turn out students with a sound knowledge of craft but a

        weak preparation in the traditional disciplines of the liberal

        arts.  Both the editors of the Asheville Citizen, who serve as

        part-time faculty in the program, and the manager of WLOS-TV, who

        serves as advisor to the program, have approved of this change.  



        Effective Date:  Fall, 1981 



                        Passed by Faculty Senate 10/16/80)
