This is a program which goes lrom soup to nuts by encompassing the sport ol' field hockey and the art ol' modern dance.

In connection with the Physical Education program the Hfonienis Recreational Association has been holding tournaments in basketball, volley ball, and bowling at the Park Rec. Considerations of the physical body needs are kept in account as the Physical Education program is oper- ated. scholastically athletic To create the appreciation of a healthy, well-coordinated body, to encourage regular participation in a variety of competitive and recreational sports that will be useful in adult life, and to prepare students for positions of leadership in physical education and athletic coaching with a moderate amount of prepara- tion in recreation and health education are the aims of the Department of Health and Physical Education. Inter-collegiate teams are maintained in football, basketball, track and field, baseball, swimming, ice hockey, wres- tling, golf and tennis. Ralph Luncleen, Director of Athletics, Gareth R. Olson, Gilbert E. Wilson, and Ralph D. McAlister.

Besides giving the stu- dent an excellent opportu- nity to prepare for future teaching, engineering or re- search, the Mathematics De- partment performs a very important additional serv- ice. In mathematical study the student is encouraged to think creatively and ac- curately, and the precision of his thinking can always be checked by rigorous de- ductive logic. Thus the de- partment can provide situ- ations in which precision of thought takes precedence over easy generalization, cleverness or forcefulness of expression. Ready to explain the molecular theory are Chester H. Shiflett, Chemistry De- partment Head, John Howe Scott, Frederick Stocker and Edward Berglund. 28 Ezra J.
