a long time to bring about changes if

Hilli-ard said council members will
come up with a specific number of
courses that may be necessary for their
colleges. The final decision cf which
classes will be used for the core curric

committee of UNL faculty members.
They should decide, by the end of the
semester, Milliard said. .
About 200 courses are offered through
the arts and sciences college tnd some
faculty are concerned that the list may '
be too big, Hiilisrd said.
Schwendlman said business students

their courses outside of CM, and part
