PHYSICAL Educatien is presentiy is required subiect during the first twe yeers nt Gerhnm State Teachers Cellege. Miss Deris Fit: and Miss Jeenette Greed- win supervise the pregnant fer wemen. Mr. Richard Cestelle end Mr. Richard Wescett serve in the same capacity in the men's department. Sufficient heurs. en en elective besis, met; be secured from the department to establish :1 Physical Educatien Miner 1Fer interested students. This plan is expected he be fermelly introduced during the 1953-59 scheei year. Many students, men and wernen, have expressed a desire te secure the neir:ess1r;tr1.ur credits fer certificatien in Physieei Education es established by the State Department ef Educatien. The program is handicapped primarily by the leek of facilities. Russell Gymnasium is ne Ienger eepeble ef handling the number ef students enrelled in the physical education program. Fer this reason certain phases ef the women's program are being eendueted in Hebie Center. in ercler te cempensete fer the luck ef space, eless sectiens have been combined se thnt ndditienel classes may be scheduled in the gymnasium. Hewever, by attempting ta solve the problem ef presenting eeeh student with en eppertunity to participate in the gym activities, eembining sectiens has resuited in evererewding at certain classes. Anether result at the leek of available free time in the gym has been the inability ef the Physical Educatien Stuff te schedule the elective courses it feels should be included in the :urrieulum. The seiutien tn the physical educatien preblerns et Gerhern rests in the erection ef a new physical plant suitable tn the growth pattern ef the cellege. With ndditienel derrniteries and increasing enrollment, the problem becemes mere ecute each year. If Gerhem State Teachers College is tn eentinue te prepare well- munded teachers, facilities in the urea ref physical education must be improved. Tedey's preblems :eneerning the fitness ef' yeuth end their use ef leisure time have became netienei end internetienel in scape. They' are preblerns that held special intpiicutiens fer the elementary and iunier high scheei teecher graduating from net teeehers eelieges. We at Gerhern ere heping the Legisieture will recegu nize eur needs end remedy the situetien in the very near future. 22
