A Senate motion to cross-list a course in Canadian Studies with the History department has been tabled. The; motion was intro- duced to Senate on February 3 by ’ACademic. Planning Committee chair Roger ‘ Black, apparently because the, History department does not . have , an Atlantic history course. Canadian Studies 201-202, or “The Atlantic Region”, was seen'as filling this gap. Student Senator Jack Keefe objected to the move be- cause .f‘Cana‘dian Studies is too-' much equated with _ 7' Historynow.’,“ ‘ He;.also-noted_'that the courses? incorpOrated socio- logy, j politics, economics, literature, geography, and biology as well as history, and said the cross~listing would either “head Canadian Studies in the wrong direction or water down the History program.” - Keefe is a fourth year Canadian Studies major. Gary Webster, Political Studies , chair, said that Senate had beiaemleatnss the : signifjiarlge flog) 'cross-listing “grounds for g. V , the, course, the cross-listing would allow History majors access to his services while they fulfilled their major requirements. But, as Keefe pointed out, the course involves mare lectures by speakers from disciplines other than history than by historians. The discussion eventually focussed on whether or not there was sufficient history content in Canadian Studies 201-202 to prevent a ‘1? senatedelays cross-listing of Can. Stud. and History COMM weakening of the History major if it was cross-listed. Smitheram dismissed this, saying the cross-listing was meant to have a “broadening effect” on those majoring in History. He warned that the History department might want to create its own Atlantic History course if the motion was defeated, and reminded Senators that the university was under a “constraint not to proliferate courses. ” APC chair Black told Senators that these specific points had not been raised in Committee meetings. Smitheram finally sug- gested the tabling of the motion for further discussion with the History faculty. Dr. David Weale, the historian who co-ordinates the course, said he supports the cross—listing, and believes the course does have suf- ficient historical content to be of value to History students. Gov’t releases '* survey of 1982 grads CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. Industry Minister Pat Binns has announced the release of a publication entitled “The Handbook of Labour Market Outcomes of 1982 Graduates.” - The Publication is the _ second of what will be an annual report prepared by the Prince .Edward Island Department of industry. Binns said the handbook 5's based; gringsurv'eybf 1982 graduates from. the Univer- has me:qu ‘b'e‘en1coinplete‘iififiisififi‘l’iiheemrd island, explored. He was concerned about majors taking so many cross- listed courses that they graduate without adequate supervision from faculty members in their field of study. Dean of Arts Verner __ Smitheram, who earlier in the‘discussion could not re— member the proposal having been treated in the APC, said there was “norationale to deny 'it due to ambiguity about cross-listing, because no criteria for cross-listing exist.” He added that, as a- historian presently teaches from Holland College post- secondary courses, Canada Employment and Immigration sponsored courses, and the Prince Edward Island De- partment of Education Vocational High School Courses. Included in the handbook are course descriptions as well as statistics on graduates from each course, employed, unemployed, their average weekly wage and occupation. As well, figures from the 1981 graduate follow-up survey are presented so com— parisons can be made between 1981 and 1982 graduates success. “The results presented in the handbook are very en- couraging,” noted Binns, “especially when one looks at the numbers employed and sees .that85°/o of the 1982 post secondary graduates and 81% of the university gra- duates who had answered the survey, had found employ- ment.” (Editor’s note: How many were underemployed? “Given our current economic circumstances, it is important that publications such as the “Handbook of Labour Market Outcomes for 1982 Graduates” be pro- duced”, said Binns, “so that the public, and in particular our youth, will be aware of available career choices and possibilities, Copies of‘the handbook can be obtained from either the Department of Industry, 4th floor Shaw Building or Island Information Service, Jones Building, 11 Kent Street, Charlottetown, P.E.1.
