PER Department: If you're the athletic type and are interested in physical activity, tr if you are interested in safety and first aid techniques, then aybe you should look into the Morehead State University Health, 'hysical Education, and Recreation Department, H.P.E.R. The Department of H.P.E.R. is probably one of the most ver- atile departments in terms of class selection on campus, said -ue Lucke, an assistant professor in the department. uIf you look at an undergraduate catalogue, you can see that PRACTICING serving techniques is an essential routine for any volleyball player. Volleyball is not only a school sport, but an intramural one. Clubs, fraternities, and sororities take part in this fun sport, also. LESLEY TACKETT Practical Yet Fun Mrs. Lucke's point is well justified. Out of the sixty-four different classes offered in the H.P.E.R. department you can choose from judo to horsemanship, from lifesaving to lacrosse, from soccer to social dance, and from gymnastics to athletic injuries. A major in health, physical education, or recreation could land you a job coaching any level of athletics, a teaching job, or you could become a trainer for an athletic team. Ben Washingtin, a senior recreation major, stated, iii can't wait to get started on a career. There are so many openings, so many possibilities. This field has so many ways you can go, so many dif- ferent options. Besides that, it's fun. The physical education field is really open, says Sue Lucke. uMany officials believe that in many states, high school teams are going to be required by state law to have a paid trainer on the coaching staff. This is going to open up countless jobs for young coilege graduates. One of the good things about health, physical education, and recreation electives is that they are some of the most practical courses for everyday life. You can never tell, for instance, when a life saving or first aid class will come in handy. Besides that, they're fun, says Lucke. i'You can play golf or basketball and get credit for it. These classes are more than just fun though; they teach you a lot also. A chance to learn is something that you can never pass up.
