CAA tables humanities requirements - by Len Krasnowski The Council on Academic Affairs Thursday tabled a proposal adding three new music courses to the humanities requirement list because the council feared the humanities list is growing too large. Under the proposal, three new music classes would be listed under the humanities general education course list: MUS "Musical Encounters," MUS 2552, "Musical Masterworks," and MUS 2553, 2554, "The Evolution of Jazz and Rock Music. " As part of the proposal, MUS "Introduction 2562, to Music Literature," which is currently a humanities course, would be deleted. The total humanities cour­ se list would increase by two. The proposal included two other changes: an in­ crease in credit for MUS "The Role of the 2561, Black in Western Music," from two credit hours to three; and a change in course descriptions for MUS MUS and MUS 2561, 2563 2564. · "We're attempting to catch up in those areas (of music) where other schools such as Western already have courses established,'' Hansen said.
