Under the category of Evaluation and Improvement of the Teaching-Learning Process, special faculty com- mittees made rigorous studies of several aspects of the instructional program and recommended action which they believed would lead to improvement in the quality of instruction. The Evaluation and Revision of Courses and Cur- ricula' formed the second category of study. This cate- gory was broken down into three areas: developing courses in varied areas in which a minimum number of hours must be taken by all, an evaluation of curricula and courses and recommendations for irnprovementg and a Curriculum Committee, which will become a perma- nent part of the university. Other actions of the council included a document con- cerning faculty participation in appointments, promo- tions and tenure.

Dr Claude Moore, professor of Poultry Science, instructs these students in the value of poultry as a source of animal protien. College of Agriculture In the College of Agriculture, efforts to update cur- ricula and courses and to improve teaching facilities were continued this year. An agreement with the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory at Ocean Springs, Miwis- sippi, pemiitted the college to offer an option in Marine Biology. Under the agreement Auburn students enrolled in Marine Biology may take as many as six courses in Marine Botany and Oceanography at the Gulf Coast Laboratory and receive credit. In addition a Food Science major was established. The new course offered the basic science and techno- logical training for those in the food processing industry and food research. Research experience in animal biochemistry and nu- trition was extended to undergraduates in Animal Sci- ence through a grant from the National Science Founda- tion, and a matching grant for the purchase of instruc- tional equipment in Zoology-Entomology. In December, a regional Agricultural conference held here at Auburn with the North Carolina Agriculture and Polytechnic Institute, discussed the world food problems. Speakers from the State Department and the Department of Agriculture challenged both faculty and students to begin a constructive effort toward solving these problems. jg?
