NEW COURSES The Faculty Sen ate at UNC-A presented several documents for acceptance to the Gen eral Faculty. Included in the presentation were the addition of several courses to the UNC-A curriculum: Edu cation 367, The Teaching of Dreima and Theatre Arts (3), Social Work 404, Foundations of Social Work, Social Work 405, Small Group Therapy, and Biology 444, Biological bio chemistry. All were accepted by the Gen eral Faculty. It was decided that an additional year of experimentation be con ducted in meeting the requirement.- of Bib liography as part of the Humanities course during the fall term of the academic year 1975-76. It was recommended that reports would be sub mitted indicating satis factory completion of the requirement. Meeting the Bibliography require ment within the Humani ties program will afford the student no extra credit. However, those students who do not meet the requirements through Humanities will have to register in a scheduled section of Bibliography ' for which one credit will be granted upon satisfactory completion of this course. Two resolutions were accepted by the General Faculty, forward ed by Dr. Syan t6 the UNC Faculty Assembly Committee on Professional Development. The faculty approved in principle the establishing of a system of sabbatical leaves for members of the faculties of State sup ported institutions of higher learning. It was also resolved that the amount of funds for faculty travel and other pro fessional development be increased at each of the campuses of the Univer sity.

Planning began in 1971, but the actual construction contract was not let until Septem ber, 1974, at a cojst of approximately $175,000.00. Six Associates, Inc. have presented a design for the first phase of Architectural Barrier Removal. Included in this phase are adjust ments to the Lipinsky Student Center, the dormitory village, the Library and the Humanities Building. Ramps are being constructed to provide access for the handi capped to these build ings . Alterations to the restrooms, certain telephones and water fountains are planned, as is additional park ing for the handicapped and wheel chair acco modations in the Audi torium and Lecture Hall. An elevator for access to all floors of the Student Center is also under construction. Phase one of the construction will re move many barriers; however, an additional cost of $350,000.00 is expected to arise before completion of this phase. The second phase of constructiln will include additional toilet facilities in the dorms, Student Center, gym. Infirmary, Administration Build ing, Science Build ing and Tower and Library. An elevator will be installed in the Social Science Building, as well as the Humanities Build ing, gym, and Admin istration Building. Alter ations are also planned for the language lab.
