Show Because sound bodies are assets to sound minds, the Division of Physical Education is designed to develop in participants the qualities of initiative, physical fitness, and good sportsmanship. Its major objectives are to provide opportunity for everyone to participate in intercollegiate and intramural activities and to train professional teachers in the fields of physical education and coaching. Divisional majors are offered in physical education, with major emphasis on health, recreation, and coach-ing. Minors may be pursued in physical education, health education, or recreation. The division hosts a variety of extra-curricular programs: intercollegiate athletics, a health service program, intramural sports, and a community physical education program. The addition of a new gymnasium to the upper campus increases the value of the entire school, serving to unify the physical education program and to aid instructors in providing a fuller and more effective curriculum. A biceps curl, military press, and a one-arm press are demonstrated by gym students. The new gym houses seven teaching stations: a three-court basketball floor, a six-lane swimming pool, an apparatus room, a wrestling room, a dance studio, a five handball court, and a balcony for both badminton and volleyball. Outside expansion plans include play fields, tennis courts, and an increase in the number of seats in the present stadium. The body scissors hold is a wrestling achievement. _ Ice belles demonstrate their mastery of "dragging." An extra dimension alters the alignment of a dancer's tool-her body-while she works with props in a movement study. The completion of Weber's gymnasium on the upper campus unifies physical education programs. |
