College of PHYSICAL EDUCATION HEALTH and ATHLETICS STUDENT SHOWS HURDLING FORM As a statewide project, a crusade for prominence. The new brick collosus rearing its head on stadium road is a tribute to one of Florida's newer colleges, the college of physical education, health, and athletics. The new gym was merely a cobweb-entangled, twenty-year- old dream until the college of PE, H, and A was created. Then the acute need for facilities became so loud that the legislature passed the necessary bill authorizing the start of work on what is new pride of the campus. Required physical education is first on the college of muscleisu program. This department strives to build and maintain the general physical fitness of tl1e students, and to impart to them an appreciation for a sound body and interest in healthful recreation. All new students, except veterans, become a part of this program until they dis- play the desired sports proficiency. An important place in the program is held by the student health service. It attempts to show students how REQUIRED PIIYS. ED. ARCIIERY PERIOD In place of cobaccbs, a cause for pride. .. deg: A CLASS IN ANATOMY For all students, an imparted appreciation. to use medical care efficiently and wisely and provides treatment and care for students suffering illnesses and injuries occurring at the university. The infirmary and nurses home has recently undergone a S300,000.00 expansion. The crusade for Florida's return to prominence in intercollegiate athletics is becoming a statewide project. Third on thc program is intramural competition. The philosophy of intramurals is that success depends upon student participation in planning and executing as Well as actual participation in the contests. Under the super- vision of the department head are a student director and managers for three leagues, 14 sports, and 105 teams. Students checked out 90,000 pieces of equipment during the year and participated in 1,658 contests. Students seeking courses in physical education enter specialized study leading to the degree of bachelor of science in physical education. MODERN DANCE FOR WOMEN For the three leagues, 1,658 contests. I

Colle e of SURVEYINC TIIE DRILL FIELD Wartime lulls and normal aclivily. During the wartime lull at the University of Florida, one of the few colleges to remain normally active was the college of engineering. The development of a new detonating fuse was one of several outstanding contri- butions to war research by this college. Since V-I Day, engineering has moved from the battlefront into the everyday life of the general public, and its contributions have stimulated engineering education, research, and development at the university to an unprecedented degree. Growth of the dual-purposed program under the di- rection of Dean Joseph Weil is reflected by an increase in the size of the faculty from 22 full-time members- in 1941 to its present 218. In 1941 there were 155 students, today, 510 students a1'e in the college, and 1,300 others are enrolled in pre-engineering courses. This transition LINK THAINERS FOR TIIE AIR ENGINEERS S U personie flows mul slress mmlysis. THE ALL-IMPORTANT SLIDE RULE llurrivunc susceptibility and mluaneecl lzydmulicrs. has been effected without sacrificing the high standing of the college in the fields of engineering education and research. A Florida student receiving his education in the state will more than likely remain in the state to work and will be trained to meet the particular needs of this penin- sula, whereas those leaving the state for training too often do not return. The latter creates a scarcity in the munber of adequately trained engineers in Florida. Florida is still a relatively undeveloped state. The vast majority of its acreage is not palm tree and beach but pine tree and sand. Susceptibility to hurricanes, need for water conservation, difficulty in proper road con- struction-these are only a few of the problems which must be solved by Florida's engineers. For this reason, the college of engineering's plans for expansion are pro- FLORIDA'S OVVN ATOM SMASIIER Deionaling fuses and fire hazards, P11117 Qfrgrpg-'gy
