that the University Senate had approved the document and accepted the recom-
mendations made to them. Recommendations to the various colleges have been
approved by the Senate and referred back to the colleges for further study. He
closed his remarks with a statement that the year's intensive study had been a
great stimulus to the faculty to look at what has been done and to plan for the
future programs of the University.

       Dr. Cochran then capsulized some of the recommendations approved by
the Senate calling particular attention to the following:

       1.   That every baccalaureate degree program include four
       divisions or components: (1) general studies, (2) pre-major or
       pre-professional, (3 major or professional, and  (4) free
       electives; and that the general studies component in every bacca-
       laureate degree program consist of at least five of eight areas of
       study, with course sequences as approved by the University Senate.

       2.   To achieve the educational goals of the proposed programs,
       the following organization for lower division studies on the Lexing-
       ton campus be adopted:

             (a) Beginning with the Fall Semester, 1966, registration
             of all entering freshmen in the College of Arts and
             Sciences; during 1966-67 registration of freshman and
             sophomore students in the same college in which they were
             prev-iously registered, until graduation or transfer, as
             under present regulations.

             (b) Registration of all students who enter the University
             in the Fall Semester of 1966 and thereafter in the College
             of Arts and Sciences until the end of the sophomore year.

             (c) Each lower division student have as his advisor a pro-
             fessor in the college in which he intends to major, if his
             probable major area of study has been decided.

             (d) Formal transfer to a professional college be made at
             the beginning of the junior year (at the beginning of the
             fourth year for combined degree students),

       3.   That the concept of an integrated complex of classroom, lecture
       room, residential- and other appropriate facilities for freshman and
       sophomore students be approved with respect to its educational soundness
       and desirability as one of the alternative means of providing for increased
       enrollment, that the area south of Cooper Drive be considered for the lo-
       cation of such a complex, and that additional space in this area be re-
       served for future development of additional facilities of this nature and
       that such similar programs be considered also at the graduate level and
       in the development of any disciplinary programs.
