Assembly delays Ph.D. motion The University Assembly Wednesday afternoon deferred a motion that would transfer the Ph.D. program in linguistics from the English department to the lin guistics department The action came after Universi ty Librarian George Shipman, away at a conference, sent the assembly a letter asking for a deferral because the linguistics department failed to consult with the library over aquisition costs and other expenditures that might be incurred A ruling last year, made by the provost’s office, requires that there be consultation between organizers of new programs and library personnel The linguistics department protested the deferral, citing that the Ph.D. program is not an addi tion to curriculum but a shift of current curriculum from one department to another Department members also reasoned that because the program is in operation and has been for quite some time, there would be no extra library costs incurred. Shipman explained that his intent is "not to stifle progress but hope that progress is orderly '* Shipman also wrote that it is "safe to say additional funds will be necessary " In other assembly business, English Prof. Glen Love, representing the Academic Standards Committee, proposed a motion that provides uniform standards for an honors degree outside of the Honors College The honors degree will include, among other things, a requirement for some type of senior project.
