CATALOG CHANGES TO ACCOMPANY GENERAL EDUCATION LANGUAGE CHANGES:

Catalog Changes for German

Herewith are proposed changes in German for the next catalog. As you 
know, they follow a package sent to you already which dealt with 
changes due to the GE requirement in FL.

1. p. 119 under "Tract A - German"

	Delete: Entry I.

	Add:	I.  Required courses in the major - 27 hours in 
		courses numbered 300 or above.  Of these, three 
		courses must be numbered 400 or above.  Required 
		310, 320, 420, either 440 or 450, and 485.

    Reasons:    The changes guarantee that students will graduate 
		with sufficient language proficiency, and give students, 
		more flexibility in their selection of literature courses.

2. p. 119 under "Track B. . ."

	Add:	(After the final sentence of the statement)  
		Required:  310, 320, and 340.

		proficiency; the 340 course provides essential training 
		in phonetics.

3. p. 119 under "Minor in German"

     Delete:	current statement

        Add:    18 hours in courses numbered 300 or above.  
		Required:  310, 320, 420.  Recommended:  350, 351

		in students minoring in German.

4. p. 120

		300-level course.

6. p. 121 under 440 and 450

     Delete:	Required of all majors in German.

    Reasons:	Only one of the two courses will be required to
