Both sexes share fieldhouse facilities Co-educational physical edu- cation? Girls in the field house locker room? New physical education courses were initiated this year for the first time on a full scale basis. Girls and boys shared activities and learned new sports together. One girl enrolled said, “The classes are more fun but when we play something like basket- ball or volleyball, the guys are real 'ball hogs’!” An opposite point of view about co-edupational physical education was expressed by sophomore Mike Bride, who said, “Some boys are worse than some girls so it really doesn’t bother me. In a lot of sports, the girls are even better than the boys.” Cross-country skiing was a new addition to the Physical Education curriculum. Skis were supplied by the physical educa- tion department for the practice cross-country skiing on the football field. One member of the PE classes, Ellen Canterbury, com- mented, “It was fun because it gave me experience for skiing later on. It was a lot different from downhill skiing because it takes more coordination.” Calculators — Physical Education 15
