     Eliot commended Dr. Louis 
     
     Hanic, a professor in the Bi- 
     
     ology department, for his in- 
     
     dependent research on the 
     
     problem of toxic mussells in

     Senate have been sent to Dr.

     Once _ again the 
     
     Curriculum, Course Change 
     
     and Calendar Committee has 
     
     been busy. Senate approved 
     
     almost 30 new courses for 
     
     the Masters program at the 
     
     Atlantic Veterinary College. 
     
     They cover all of three facul- 
     
     ties of Anatomy and Physi- 
     
     ology, Pathology and Micro- 
     
     biology, and Health Manage- 
     
     ment. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Other 
     
     curriculum changes include 
     
     the fact that History honours 
     
     students will now have the 
     
     option of studying the his- 
     
     tory of Greece and Rome in 
     
     addition to the histories of 
     
     Europe, Britain, Canada and 
     
     the Americas as part of their 
     
     core courses. French majors 
     
     have had the requirements 
     
     for a major changed slightly 
     
     to give them both more 
     
     choice in their core courses 
     
     and to include more cred-

     of Chairs for six years. Now
