Division of Physical Education DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Division of Physical Education Reed K. Swenson, Chairman The division of Physical Education provides, in addition to listed courses of instruction, opportunity for the physical and social development of Weber College students through five different programs. The health program provides protective and educative benefits for every student. Its purposes are: (1) to give a medical examination (screening rather than a diagnosis examination) to every student upon his initial registration in the College, (2) to give special attention to those in need of medical or dental care through a follow- up program which, if necessary, will guide students and parents to sources of medical and dental treatment; (3) to take care of accidents and sudden illness occurring at the College; (4) to provide opportunity for conferences and consultation with a physician; (5) to re-examine, at reasonable intervals, students with physical defects; (6) to provide a healthful environment for student life; and (7) to initiate protective measures against the spread of disease. Medical treatment and diagnosis are the responsiblity of the home and the community. The program of intramural activities provides for the mass of students. Competition is organized in a large variety of sports so that all members of the student body may compete in activities of their choice. The program is planned for the various groups on the campus as well as for all unaffiliated students. Two awards are given: a cup for the organized group massing the greatest number of points during the year, and a medal for the individual student massing the greatest number of points during the year. The program is largely in the hands of student managers and directors under the supervision of the Physical Education Department. Intramural sports are organized in the belief that the following purposes of the program serve the vital interests of young people: (1) recreation, (2) social contacts, (3) group sports, (4) health, and (5) permanent interests in sports. The Women's Intramural Association aims to develop "A sport for every girl and1 a girl for every sport." The intramural program of the W. I. A. is divided into sections: group competition, and individual competition. Social clubs and organized unaffiliated teams compete for the traveling trophy which is presented to the winning team in the spring of each year. A group winning the trophy three times in succession becomes the permanent owner. Recognition is given to individual sport winners. Five quarters of participation in athletics, even, though a girl may not be a winner, makes her eligible to receive individual recognition.
