The Mc-zn's Physical Eclucalion Organizalion HE Men's Physical Education Organization was formed in 1927 to carry on student activities. Its purpose is the formation, control and direction of student initiative through cooperative and constructive activities and research and the encouragement of closer faculty-student relations. All extra-curricular activities are governed by a policy forming Senate which has its work divided into bureaus. The Edffmlimml Bnremx has in part the following divisions: The Bi-monthly newspaper for the Physical Education Departmentg a Tutorial systemg a Speakers' Bureaug Curriculum Committeeg Registration Committee, Publicity Committeeg Employ- ment Committeeg Personality Rating Committee. The Athletic Blrreafz is in direct supervision of the Athletic Activities. Some of the outstanding features are: the putting of the Intramurals on an intensive scale, disregarding the difference between the so called major and minor sportsg giving the stu- dents more chance to compete in Intercollegiate Athletics, and fostering Athletic Clubs and general Athletic Activities for camp trips. The Social Bzzreaff has charge of the Physical Education Social Room on the fourth floor, It manages a social schedule of two dances and a camp bus trip each semester, besides arranging smaller social functions. The Phyrical Therapy Section is concerned in the furtherance of its own profes- sional and progressive standards in its specific field of Physical Therapy.

--'T j I iw at va, .,.. Glee Club ECENTLY, the Physical Education Department through its Education Bureau set about organizing a Glee Club. Direct charge of the club was put in the hands of Irwin Hecht. From a group of five who showed up for the first meeting it grew to some twenty-four members. The North Studio of the Students' Building has been used for practice. The peculiar thing about this Glee Club is the purpose, or better, the several pur- poses behind it. It was formed with the idea of having it accompany a group of speakers who are to go about to various schools and clubs making addresses on the subject of Physical Education and Health with the idea of increasing the prestige of that profession. Secondly, it was to afford recreation for those participating, and thirdly, it was felt that by securing students from the Department of Music Education to direct the singers, an excellent opportunity for practice teaching would be afforded. The Club at first limited itself to practice of the old favorites such as Love's Old Song, The Old Oaken Bucket, etc. Then efforts were extended to the field of negro spirituals, following which the newer popular songs which lend themselves to harmony were tried. After a fair amount of success has been attained in these fields the club intends to work on the University Songs and then expand their work as they see fit. 129
