HYSICAL EDUCATION New name, approaching aim Gymnastics can be fun, or funny. Juniors Rhonda Wil- liams and Penny Patterson demonstrate both aspects, as Rhonda attempts to mount the uneven bars. 158 Physical Education Yerry Dumell teaching golf, students learned to integrate the processes of developing the mind and the body. The physical education department, for the first time, was recognized as a seperate department under the title Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. With the recogni- tion, a health minor was added to the program, and will eventually become a major. The addition of a football program four years ago and the winning seasons of several varsity sports increased enroll- ment in the department by 25 per cent. Developing good teachers was the emphasis of the department. Classes from Anatomy and Physiology t0 Methods of Individual Sports Techniques gave students a chance to learn the mechanics and systems of the body and how they are affected during activity. Mike Wallace, senior, said the department helps students become good teachers in all ways. The department had a major difficulty to overcome at From disecting cats to the beginning of the fall semester. David Stair, assistant professor of education, left for a year to finish his doctorate degree. Faculty members decided to divide his teaching load among themselves rather than hire a teacher for one year. Two coaches were hired to fill in, however, for women's tennis and basketball. Duane Huechteman, assistant profes- sor of mathematics, coached the tennis team and Lynn Bowen, alumnus and local high school teacher, coached the basketball team. , Every student eventually is involved in the department. As part of the graduation requir- ements, students must have two credits of physical educa- tion. Physical Fitness and an elective, such as Tennistad- minton, fulfill the requir- ement. The opportunity to learn how the body functions in relation to physical activity was available to all students through the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. 6 The steady fingers of iuniors Lester Doc Ellis and lim Auten work to locate the leg muscles of a cat as sophomore Mel Mitchel and junior Stan Bumgarner watch in anatomy lab.

For students interested in learning the skills of preserving our heritage, Dr. Calvin Holsinger, professor of history, explained the museum prac- ticum. It provided an op- portunity to recapture things man. that you've lost. Scott Students interested in Hovater, senior, found it gave government, law, historical practical experience in mu- research, and teaching found several programs in the social sciences department to reach their goals. Through majors in history, political science, pub- lic administration, or social science, and an anthropology minor, students gained the knowledge and experience needed to participate in a social world. Several career-related programs offered a wide range of experiences, while classes offered the means of gaining the knowledge. In February, 12 students participated in the Washington Studies Program. They attend- ed seminars and interned with their state senators, represen- tatives, or in a department related to their future career. A new internship was added to the program. This practicum offered political science majors an opportunity to work in the district offices of senators and representatives and in party headquarters. Robin Hilton, junior, in- terned in the district office of Sen. John Danforth. She is interested in becoming a press secretary and commented that the internship made me aware of the career opportuni- ties available and how to go .Wstm, ' . The Civil W r Srmg on Ft.

An increase in the number of pre-law students, according to Tom Duncan, professor of public administration, is at- tributed to the high availability of jobs in legal fields. Duncan, ' new to the staff last fall, will replace the vacancy left by Wesley Ward, associate professor of political science and history, who retired. Students considered the high quality of the professors to be one of the best aspects of the department. Tim Shearer, junior, commented that the staff seems extremely knowledgable in the social sciences. He attributed this proficiency to the practical experience many of the professors have had. The high quality is also seen in the scores on the Legal Scholastic Appitude Test, as Evangel students score consis- tently above the national norm of the LSAT. Susan Massey, senior, said she felt she could not have gotten a comparable education in history at any other Christian college. -lulie Sloan e 881, with the 4 Miss Wk, v w VlClOriC e utg marked the tu l a Dcrmd thQOUFl ; trnlilg . -.
