Assembly Endorses Ecology Major
BY ROY CLEVENGER and DENIS ARMSTRONG Kannan Naff Reporter
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Assembly yesterday voted unanimously to forward a program for a proposed environmental studies major to Chancellor Charles Surrice, vice chancellor of academic affairs, and the Kansas Board of Regents.
"The environmental studies program can provide an interdisciplinary major for persons designing a fundamental knowledge base for understanding man's parameters, a sense of dimension of man's impact on those parameters and a basis for approaching solutions to problems resulting from this impact," Richard J. Perkins, a systemsatics and ecology, said yesterday.
In the past, the environmental studies program was offered only as a special major. Perkins said the large interest displayed by students and faculty made the
designation of "special major" inappropriate.
THERE ARE 40 students following the environmental studies program. Must have had their petition for special major approved, according to Perkins.
No new budget item would be required to implement the environmental studies major because all the courses in the program must be within existing departments, Perkins said.
Perkins said the program, if implemented, would be unique in Kansas.
The core courses for the program are Introduction to Environmental Studies, Biology 148; Ecology and Population Biology, Biology 320; Environmental Law, Biology 332; Seminar in Environmental Studies- Energy and Environment, Biology 333; Environmental Science, Biology 360; Geology and Contemporary Society, Geology 324; and Geophysics and Geochemistry of Pollution Systems, Geology 328.
A wide range of electives are also available.
"An environmental studies major would provide the possibility of a second major. Many disciplines deal directly or indirectly with environmental topics, and a second major should be interested in study and research among the various schools and departments," Perkins said.
THE ASSEMBLY also heard a preliminary report on the first semester of mandatorily use of the Curriculum and Instruction in the College and the School of Education.
Instructors in more than 2,000 courses used the survey last semester, according to Gerald Mikkelsen, assistant professor of Shavic languages and literature and chairman of the College Committee on Advancement of Instruction and Advison.
Mikkelson said this was a 230 per cent increase in use of the CIS over the previous decade.

Some instructors didn't use the survey, he said, but the committee decided against it.
Mikkelson also said the committee is searching for a person to fill the new position of director of freshman-sophomore advising.
Judoists Stress Technique
Seven nominations for the position have been received so far.
The primary emphasis of the revived KU Judo Club will be on the sport and on body conditioning, according to Alfred J. Lata, instructor lecturer and coconspiror of the club.
Lata said the club would teach and practice techniques rather than stress self-defense. The club also will hold matches to improve skills.
When judo is being used for self-defense,
the opponent is thrown approximately 10 feet. In the club, the judisit will hold on to his opponent to make sure he fails safely. The club will sponsor a judo demonstration 10 a.m. Saturday in 173 Robinson Gymnastics. The club will meet there from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. Saturdays. The club will be open to men, women and children. Lata is considering changing an entry fee of $3 to $5 to support club competitions.

"... the premiere female vocalist of today's rock." The New York Times.
"In a short two or three years, Bonnie Raitt has built up a wide reputation as a proficient guitarist, a soulful writer and interpreter of contemporary songs, a warm and irrepressible entertainer."
Sing Out! Magazine
"I really like blues, but the way I sing doesn't sound like anything else," said Bemusic. "I love half modern kind of songs." Bemusic Raisin in interview
Bonnie Raitt in interview
*Martin Mull is not, as some are led to believe, a sensitive person. He consciously intellectually begins his life, word, conscience, intelligence, intellectually begins his life, word, conscience, intelligence.* (Olivia Cross)
UCLA Daily Bruin
"Lyrically, he has the capability of using words in phrases and encompassing puns and allusions — a superb songwriter. The mind that is displayed in these songs is one of ours — comic and superly gilded in a technical, musical sense."
Rolling Stone
"Martin Mull is one of the funniest singer-songwriters to
come along."—Melissa Snyder, from his trickly lyrics and his audience by霆
