Minutes of the previous meeting Dr. Elder ) That the minutes of the Seventh regular meeting of Dr. Wisenthal ) Senate for the Session 1978-79, having been circulated, be taken as read and adopted. Carried Business arising from the Minutes English admission reguirement - report by the President (P.7159) The Chairman suggested that this item be deferred until later in the meeting when the report of the Ad hoc Committee on Standards in English was discussed. Ad hoc Committee on Examinations (P.7164-5) Notice of motion had been given at the previous meeting. Dr. Smith ) That Senate establish an ad hoc committee to Dr. Cragg ) examine the timing and length of the December and April examination periods, and in particular: (i) the implications for the educational process of having the examination period commence the day following the conclusion of classes; (ii) the desirability of allowing students a period to digest and review the complete course before the final examination; (iii) the feasibility of adopting a class scheduling system that would automatically assign examination slots (so that at the time of registration the possibility of examination conflicts would be ruled out); (iv) the possibility of students occasionally being required to write several examinations on the same day. It was explained in the material circulated that the motion arose from concerns expressed at the gradual reduction in the number of Saturday examinations, and in the pause, however brief, between the conclusion of classes and the commencement of examinations. It was recognized that the accommodation of relatively large numbers of students with "non-standard" programs (that is, programs that depart from a rigidly defined schedule) resulted in a formidable allocation problem, and that given 7175. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Business arising from the Minutes Ad hoc Committee on Examinations (continued) time constraints (for example, the length of the first term) and constraints on resources (for example, support staff costs involved in supervising evening and Saturday examinations) the present system was inevitable. However, a thorough review of the situation was urged so that it could be determined whether alternatives existed and if so what their adoption would involve. The motion was put and carried. From the Board of Governors Notification of approval in principle of Senate recommendations - subject, where applicable, to the proviso that none of the programs be implemented without formal reference to the President and the formal agreement of the President; and that the Deans and Heads concerned with new programs be asked to indicate the space requirements, if any, of such new programs. (i) New courses, course and curriculum changes recommended by the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration (P.7156-7 & 7168) (ii) The establishment of The Albert E. Hall Chair in Finance, recommended by the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration (P.7159) (iii) Master of Arts Program in Family Studies recommended by the Faculty of Graduate Studies (P.7156-7 & 7168-9) (iv) Changes in the four-year B.S.N, program recommended by the School of Nursing (P.7156-7 & 7169-71) (v) Affiliation between The University of British Columbia and Children's Hospital, subject to such minor changes in wording as may be required, recommended by the Faculty of Medicine (P.7160-4) Prizes, Scholarships and Bursaries Dr. Knutson ) That the new award (listed in Appendix 'A') be Dean Lysyk ) accepted subject to the approval of the Board of Governors and that a letter of thanks be sent to the donor. Carried Reports of Committees of Senate Curriculum Committee (See Appendix 'B') Dr. Wisenthal presented the report. The committee recommended approval of: modification of the Rangeland Resources Option, new courses and course changes submitted by the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences; curriculum changes and calendar description for the Clinical Engineering Program submitted by the Faculty of Applied 7176. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Reports of Committees of Senate Curriculum Committee (continued) Science; curriculum changes submitted by the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration; new program, program changes, new courses and course changes submitted by the Faculty of Science; and a proposal to offer an M.A. and M.F.A. with a concentration in Film/Television Studies submitted by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Dr. Wisenthal referred to the proposals submitted by the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and explained that approval of a proposed new course Soil Science 214 (Ife) Forest and Agricultural Climatology was being withheld pending the submission of proposed changes to the existing Geography 214. In recommending approval of the proposals submitted by the Faculty of Applied Science the committee requested that the statement on prerequisites in the calendar description of the Clinical Engineering Program be replaced by a statement, inserted prior to the list of courses, to the effect that students without the formal prerequisite courses should consult the Department or Faculty concerned and the Director of the Clinical Engineering Program. Dr. Wisenthal ) That the proposals submitted by the Faculty of Dr. Brown ) Agricultural Sciences, the Faculty of Applied Science, the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration and the Faculty of Science be approved. Carried Dr. Wisenthal ) That the proposal of the Faculty of Graduate Dean Will ) Studies to offer an M.A. and M.F.A. with a concentration in Film/Television Studies be approved. Carried Nominating Committee Dr. Stager explained that there was a vacancy on the Nominating Committee for one student representative. It was agreed that Senate members could call for nominations from the floor. Mr. Niwinski ) That Mr. Brian Short be nominated to serve as Mr. Kehler ) student representative on the Senate Nominating Committee. Dr. Elder ) That nominations be closed. Ms. Goulds tone ) Carried Mr. Short was declared elected. 7177. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on form of Degrees and Diplomas Dr. Knutson presented the following report: "At its meeting of September 13, 1978 Senate recommended the establishment of a committee to investigate the form of degrees and diplomas. Senate took this action following a request of the Faculty of Forestry that "interest areas" be indicated on degree parchments. The committee concluded that it would not be desirable to indicate specific study areas on degree parchments as proposed because of practical difficulties regarding the lead time necessary for the printing of diplomas and possible implications of narrow academic background. However, the committee agreed that where a student graduated "with honours" or on an "honours program" that this fact should be noted on the degree parchment. The objective of the Faculty of Forestry could be met in another way by having a student's transcript of academic record indicate the areas of specialization and by providing the student with a "certification of graduation" giving more detail than is possible on a degree parchment but not with a full statement of record as appears on the transcript of academic record. The committee recommends to Senate the following: 1) that a new form be prepared for issuance to all graduates to be entitled "Certification of Degree". Its purpose would be to convey information intermediary between the spareness of the diploma and the detail of a transcript of academic record. The certification would include the name of the degree, the program of study and the standing obtained (where appropriate). This form would be provided to graduates at the same time as final year marks are issued; 2) that where provision is made to recognize high academic achievement over more than one year, such as "graduation with honours", the degree parchment have indicated on it "with honours"; 3) that where a student has graduated on an honours program that this fact be indicated on the degree parchment as "honours program"; 4) that the transcripts of records of Forestry graduates, and other graduates where appropriate, indicate the areas of interest or specialization in addition to the information on name of degree and class standing obtained which is provided at present. Except for these proposals, the committee concluded that no other change in the form of degrees and diplomas was necessary." Dr. Knutson ) That the recommendations of the committee be Dr. Sziklai ) approved. Carried Ad hoc Committee on Standards in English President Kenny reported that following the last Sente meeting he had met with Dr. Finnegan, Dean Will, Dr. Jordan (Head of the Department of English), and 7178. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Standards in English (continued) Mr. Young (Associate Registrar) to discuss the question of the English admission requirement. The consensus was that the matter should be handled by the Admissions Committee. The President also stated that as a result of this meeting he had been requested to write to the Minister of Education in an attempt to obtain further data on the Ministry's English Placement Test but that he had not yet received a reply. The President further reported that, under Senate's instructions, the Basic Composition Workshop was to be terminated in August 1979. However, assurances had been given by Mr. Kulich, Director of the Centre for Continuing Education, that the Centre was prepared to offer 24 sections of the Basic Composition Workshop which would accommodate approximately 360 students. The English Department would be responsible for making recommendations as to which students would benefit from this remedial work. The workshops would be three hours per week and there would be a charge of approximately $150. The President also stated that it was his understanding that students would be advised to take the course but that it was not obligatory. The following report of the Ad hoc Committee on Standards in English had been circulated. The Agenda Committee had recommended, however, that the report be discussed by Senate but that no attempt be made to arrive at a specific conclusion, and that the matter, including the transcript of the discussion, be referred to the Senate Admissions Committee. "In April 1976 Senate passed the following resolutions: 1. That the Senate of The University of British Columbia affirms that school—level instruction in basic English composition is not a proper function of the University. 2. That Senate hereby gives notice of its intention to terminate the existing "Basic Composition Workshop" program by August 1979, subject to the provision of a program for students whose work in subjects other than English is demonstrably outstanding. 3. That, beginning in September 1979, admission to First Year at U.B.C. be limited to students demonstrating basic competence in English composition or whose work in subjects other than English is demonstrably outstanding; and that the Senate Admissions Committee be asked to consider effective ways in which such competence could be assessed. 4. That Senate request the President to urge the Ministry of Education to provide leadership, co-ordination and financing for "English as a Second Language" programs in the Province. 7179. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Standards in English (continued) "At the March 1979 meeting of Senate the Admissions Committee brought forward a proposal in response to these resolutions. When that proposal was rejected, Senate still was left with the responsibility of finding means to assess competence in English composition demonstrated by first year applicants to U.B.C. After six meetings on this issue the English Standards Committee comes to Senate in order to suggest that the solution may very well be found in the use of secondary school results in conjunction with the results of an independent test. The question is whether to use secondary school grades alone or to use another criterion as well. The Committee suggests that the English 12 grade as the sole criterion cannot be a satisfactory measure of a student's competence in writing. In a subject like English, the standard must vary considerably from one school to another and one teacher to another. As the English Department observes in a report that it submitted to the Senate Admissions Committee, "The result of making the individual teacher or school the sole arbiter of a student's writing ability would be gross unfairness: a poor writer from school A might be admitted to U.B.C, while a relatively good writer from school Z might be rejected." We are also impressed by evidence arising from the first year of operation of the Ministry of Education's English Placement Test. We offer for Senate's scrutiny excerpts from a statistical report prepared by the Educational Research Institute of British Columbia, which administers the English Placement Test: "Quite clearly, the three scores on the E.P.T. (i.e. the results of the three different components of the English Placement Test), taken together, hold a substantially greater relationship to (U.B.C.) English 100 grades than do English 12 grades taken alone as English 12 grades, when used alone, are relatively weak predictors of English 100 grades; hence the associated error of prediction is relatively high. The three E.P.T. scores, when applied in combination, have increased the strength of the predictive relationship from 22% (for English 12 grades alone) to 37%. It is evident, however, that the strongest realtionship is obtained when all four measures have been used (42%). It seems reasonable to suggest that the most effective means of predicting success in English 100, and simultaneously identifying those students most requiring remedial instruction in English grammar and composition, is to employ English 12 grades and E.P.T. scores in combination. In this manner, and perhaps only in this manner, can reasonable accuracy in prediction be achieved." What is true here for purposes of placement is also true for purposes of admission, where it is even more important to have the most reliable predictive evidence available. Our point in citing this E.R.I.B.C. report is to indicate that a test like the English Placement Test appears to be necessary in order for the University to have a reasonable indication of a student's readiness for English 100. We are not, however, recommending the use of any particular examination. We appreciate that the question of modifying the present use of the English Placement Test has become a sensitive issue, but we would draw Senate's attention to the existence of at least one other examination that would definitely be available to us, and that is designed in a way that would meet our needs. This 7180. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Standards in English (continued) "is the English Composition Test which is part of the Achievement Testing Program of the College Board (based in Princeton, N.J.). In the words of the College Board's publication, Guide to the Admissions Testing Program 1978-79, the English Composition Test is "designed to measure the student's ability to write clear and effective prose that satisfies the requirements of standard written English". The Test "provides an indication of ability to do the kind of writing that will probably be expected in college." We must emphasize once again that we are not recommending any particular examination, but proposing that the Admissions Committee, after considering all available evidence, should select the examination to be used. Proposals: 1. That Senate endorse the principle that the University use results of an English composition examination as one of the criteria by which a student's writing ability is assessed for purposes of admission into first year. 2. That Senate ask the Admissions Committee to select an examination in English composition to be available for use in admitting students entering the University in September 1980. 3. That Senate ask the Admissions Committee to formulate means of identifying those students whose work in subjects other than English is demonstrably outstanding (as in Recommendation 3 of the Report of the English Standards Committee, April 1976)." In the absence of Dr. Burns, Chairman of the committee, Dr. Wisenthal presented the report. He stated that the object of the report was to make a case for the use of an examination in writing competence for admission purposes. Such an examination would not, however, be the sole criterion but would be used as one of the criteria for admission. Dr. Wisenthal ) That the report be received. Mrs. Bishop ) During the following discussion opinions were expressed that the Admissions Committee should examine whether students fail English 100 for reasons other than literacy; that it was unfair for a student to be allowed to enter the University without an understanding of the language; and that even if the University were allowed to use the results of the Ministry of Education's English Placement Test for admission purposes it would not necessarily be of use in predicting success in English 100. Several members expressed their support of the report. After further discussion the motion to receive the report was put and carried. In reply to a query Dr. Finnegan stated that the Admissions Committee would make a progress report at the May meeting of Senate. 7181. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Report of the Librarian 1977-78 The report had been circulated for information. In speaking briefly to the report Mr. Stuart-Stubbs, the Librarian, referred to the continuing problem of lack of space. It was stated in the report that the University, through its support of the collections budget during recent difficult years, had shown its determination to continue to meet the many and diverse needs of the users of the Library. In converting its cataloguing records to machine-readable form, the Library was attempting to provide access to the contents of the collections both more efficiently and effectively. However, the predictable growth of the collections toward the third millionth volume imposed a need for space to contain them. All available space would be filled at the end of eight years. Given the amount of time required for the completion of even minor building projects, planning for a new research library should begin now. Dean Larkin, Chairman of the University Library Committee, paid tribute to the excellent work of the Librarian and his staff. Report on Continuing Education Activities of The University of British Columbia 1977-78 The report had been circulated for information. Mr. Kulich stated that this was the second report and that an attempt had been made to include more information on Continuing Education activities at U.B.C. In commenting briefly on the report Dr. MacDougall, Chairman of the Committee on Continuing Education, paid tribute to Mr. Kulich for the work done in collecting the information. Faculty of Dentistry Deadline date of application for admission A proposal to change the deadline date for receiving applications for admission to the Faculty of Dentistry have been circulated. It was stated that a personal interview of prospective students was being introduced and that more time was needed to undertake this procedure. Dean Beagrie ) That the deadline date for receiving applications Dean Will ) for admission to the Faculty of Dentistry be changed from April 30 each year to December 31 of the previous year. Carried Departmental Review Policy In response to the requirement that each Faculty report to Senate on policies and procedures for reviews, the Faculty of Dentistry submitted the following statement: 7182. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Faculty of Dentistry Departmental Review Policy (continued) "The review methods utilized in the Faculty of Dentistry are: Professional review by an outside body every five years; this is part of the accreditation program within the Faculty of Dentistry reviewed by the Canadian Dental Association Accreditation Team, in which an assessment of the basic science, clinical science, and clinical content of both the undergraduate dental student program and dental hygiene program is carried out. Internal reviews of the Faculty of Dentistry have taken place over the last several years. These consist of a subcommittee looking at departmental organization, a subcommittee of the Curriculum Committee, which is reviewing the curriculum, and a subcommittee looking at the general committee structure within the Faculty. Each and all of these present their findings for ratification to the Faculty as a whole." Dean Beagrie ) That the departmental review policy of the Faculty Dr. Silver ) of Dentistry be approved. Carried Faculty of Applied Science Departmental Review Policy Senate was informed that statements of policies and procedures of the professional bodies which have accepted responsibility for appraising programs in the Faculty of Applied Science were on file with the Secretary of Senate. A report listing the documents together with the composition of the visiting accreditation team for Engineering and the composition of the visiting boards for Architecture and Nursing had been circulated. Dr. Moore ) That the report be accepted. Mr. Short ) Carried Faculty of Science Departmental Review Policy The Faculty of Science submitted the following proposal concerning departmental review policy: "The Faculty of Science endorses in general terms the policy adopted by Senate with the following additional specific comments. (See Senate minutes P.6858-60 September 14, 1977 for Senate policy.) With respect to point I, the Faculty wishes to emphasize the need for flexibility with regard to timing. 7183. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Faculty of Science Departmental Review Policy (continued) "With regard to point 3a the Faculty endorses the principle of including outside experts. The mix of three external and two U.B.C. experts from outside the Department has been found satisfactory. With respect to point 3b the Dean has solicited nominations of suitable external experts both from members of the Department and from persons in allied disciplines. The final composition of committees to review Departments should be left to the Dean who has to ascertain the availability of those nominated and then strike a balanced committee." Dean Volkoff ) That the departmental review policy of the Faculty Dr. Finnegan ) of Science be approved. Carried Report of the Tributes Committee Dr. Stager presented the report of the Tributes Committee. Members of the gallery were asked to leave. Memorial Minute The following memorial statement had been prepared in accordance with the custom of Senate in recognition by the University and the Senate of the late Roy Daniells. IN MEMORIAM ROY DANIELLS On Friday evening, April 13, 1979, The University of British Columbia lost one of its most distinguished and beloved scholars and alumni when Professor Roy Daniells died quietly at his home on Allison Road. A native of London, England, Roy Daniells came to Canada at the age of eight. He received his public and high school education in Victoria and attended The University of British Columbia, where he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He went on to the University of Toronto, where he obtained the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. Professor Daniells joined the U.B.C. faculty in 1946 as Professor of English, after being Head of the English Department at the University of Manitoba for nine years. He was appointed Head of English in 1948, a position he held until 1965, when he was named the first University Professor of English Language and Literature in recognition of his scholarship in English literature and his activities as poet and writer. Roy Daniells was author of two volumes of poetry: Deeper into the Forest, and The Chequered Shade. He contributed criticism, poetry and prose to Canadian and American scholarly and general periodicals. He is best known for his studies in 17th Century English literature, particularly for the book; Milton, Mamerism and Baroque. 7184. Wednesday, April 18, 1979. Report of the Tributes Committee Memorial Minute (continued) Professor Daniells served for almost four terms as a member of the Senate of this University, 1948 to 1954 and from 1969 until the end of 1974. Professor Daniells was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He became its President in 1970, at which time he was honoured as the recipient of the Lome Pierce Medal. The citation read in part for "achievement of special significance and conspicuous merit in imaginative or critical literature." He served for a term as chairman of the Humanities Research Council of Canada. In 1972 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in recognition of "outstanding merit of the highest degree, especially service to Canada and to humanity at large." He held honorary degrees from Queen's, Toronto, McMaster, New Brunswick and Windsor Universities, and in 1975 U.B.C. conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Letters Honoris causa. Professor Daniells was one of UBC's outstanding teachers, and was widely known as a witty and entertaining speaker. Members of Senate convey to his wife, Laurenda, their daughters, Susan and Sara, and other members of the family its deepest sympathy. Dr. Stager ) That the memorial statement for Roy Daniells be Mr. Clyne ) spread on the minutes of Senate and that a copy be sent to the relatives of the deceased.

Zoology Changes Zoology 203 and 205 - change in hours FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Theatre M.A. and M.F.A. with a concentration in Film/Television Studies Students will be considered for acceptance into the graduate program from any recognized undergraduate degree program in film and/or television studies or, in the case of students with a degree in areas other than film/television studies, with an equivalent background in film and television history, film and television criticism, aesthetics, and in all aspects of production (writing, directing, cinematography, editing, and production management). Competencies in these fields will be determined either by means of evaluation of transcripts or other evidence of experience, or by diagnostic examination, or both. Deficiencies in any areas must be remedied before the student can be advanced to full graduate standing. Students may elect to concentrate in one of two streams: the M.A. in history/theory/criticism; or the M.F.A. in production. Normal residence in the program will be two years. Students of history/criticism/theory will be encouraged to acquire a language competency beyond English and French. Each course of study will be designed by the advising faculty specifically to meet the needs and interests of the individual student. Typical patterns follow: M.F.A. IN PRODUCTION First Year Second Year Theatre 533 (3) Thesis (3/6/9) Grad. seminar in film/tele. (3) Grad. seminar in film/tele. (3)* Course in film/television 400 OR Elective, 400 or above (3)* or above (3) Comprehensive Examination OR course outside Department 300 or above (3) Theatre 535 (I) One or more of these courses may be excluded, depending upon unit value assigned to the thesis. 7191.

Minimum requirements for all students include: Theatre 535; two other courses in Film/Television at the 500 level; the thesis; and the comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination will be administered at the end of the student's second year of study. The comprehensive will be oral, or written, or a combination of oral and written. All students will be required to take Theatre 535, Colloquium in Film/Television, during their first year of study as a classified graduate student. The nature of the thesis will depend upon the area of specialization. It may consist of written work, in the case of history/criticism/theory students, or written or production work, in the case of production students.
