Rationale:  This change is proposed in consideration for students 
	    seeking teacher certification:  As a means of 
	    consolidating two of our courses into one course (EDUC 
	    337 Methods and Materials for Reading in Early Childhood 
	    and Middle School, K-6 (3) and EDUC 340 Diagnosis and 
	    Correction of Reading Difficulties, K-12 (3)) we are 
	    proposing to offer EDUC 342, Methods and Materials for 
	    Diagnosing and Correcting Reading Difficulties, K-12 
	    (4). This change is an effort to refine the program and 
	    offer more prolonged and intense field experiences to 
	    students.

Add	"130 General Geography K-12 (3)
	A general survey of physical and cultural geography, the 
	objectives, basic skills, and study methods of the geographer 
	as applied to the teaching of geography.  Required for 
	certification in K-4 and Social Studies 6-9 and 9-12.

Delete  General Geography 130 (Catalog page 118)

Rationale:  This course is described as one incorporating " . . . the 
	study methods of the geographer as applied to the teaching 
	of geography."  It is taken almost exclusively by Education 
	students, who MUST have it, and is fielded by that 
	department.  Since it is their (Education's) responsibility, 
	they wish also to be given credit for enrollment and the 
	staffing of it.
