        Rationale:



        The courses listed above are desirable catalog additions for the

        following reasons:  



        1.  These courses would provide the basic nucleus for a possible

        music major while also serving as electives for non-majors.  



        2.  Because this is to be a two-year catalog it is necessary to

        protect these courses in the event the proposed music program is


                                                                     Page 2

        





        approved.  



        3.  Likewise, it is desirable that these courses be available now,

        for the benefit of those students who wish to take a concentration

        of electives in music.  Such programs as Psychology, Sociology,

        Drama, Management, Engineering, Communications etc., allied with

        music, would be of real interest and value to many students.  



        4.  Five of the courses here proposed have already been

        successfully offered as special topics courses.  



        CHANGE:  p.  83 



        Music 241 - Remove statement "Not available for credit to the

        general student within the 120 hours required for graduation." 



        Rationale:  



        Dr. Frank Edwinn, Dr. Verna Bergemann, and Dr. Joyce Dorr have

        concurred that there is no justification or value to a restriction

        on this course, and that it should be an optional elective for the

        general student.  





                        (Passed by Faculty Senate 10/16/80)
