Outlook Showery A cloudy and showery period Saturday through Monday with little change in temperature is seen in the extended outlook for the state.
Lows will be mostly in the 50s, with daytime highs mostly in the 70s. He gave his support to the concept of interdisciplinary courses and programs, and asked the faculty for implementations of that concept which had been recommended by a task force last year and endorsed by the Academic Affairs Council of the university. The UW-0 Chancellor pointed out the university is considering developing a external degree program since "learning is a life-time expectation" and people should have "the chance to learn where they are and when they can" which he said is likely to become the order of the day.
