Jing Hwa Yeh, senior, enrolled in jazz class for the second time with Lindhorstls permission. Yeh said, lll didnlt need the credits, I just took it because I like it. I took dance Classes in Taiwan, but I wanted to see how the American instructors taught it.m Yeh was quite pleased at how the Class was taught on campus, but back in her own country it is dif- ferent. Although they use the same music, she said American students express feeling more easily. 0 ECHO i M. h... w IN PERFECT FORM, Karen Cox, freshman, goes through a routine dur- ing jazz dance class in the newly remodeled dance studio in the Pershing Building.

It tthe programl is improving because recreation started to grow all over the world. I think theylre trying to give as wide a variety as they can. I think the teachers are concerned with us and are trying to give us some things we can use on the job?

We think in physical edu- cation we can work more toward a per- sons self- image and self-concept than in an academic situation, because we see the stu- dent in a laboratory situation. We can observe them. You can really see their self- imagesif they donit like their bodies or donit like themselves as a physical per- son. That tim- proving a stu- dents self- image l should be the major thrust of peo- ple involved in health, physical education and irecreation.n Dance Classes are required for some majors, but for other students they,re a sjenni Meeks HLeft, left, left, right, left?

Although the dance curriculum changes every year, which classes are offered depends on popularity and practicality. Regina Lindhorst, instructor of dance said she tried teaching tap dancing, but it proved impractical because students had different levels of skill and dancing with tap shoes required a special floor. Among the classes offered this year were modern dance, jazz dance, countrytwestem dance, folk and round dance, disco dance and aerobic dance. liAerobic dance is done for car- diovascular endurancef Mary Farwell, temporary instructor of physical education, said. tilt is more of a funtfitness Class?

If you,d put the courses that we offer and the facilities that we have up against those of any univer- sity our size, weld come out OK. The experience , is useful, plus the relation- ships. Some- times welve had students who were quite capable, but sometimes the personal relationships of this kind of experience can be very helpful-a growing event. A required course for home economics majors takes them out of the classroom and gives them practical experience as aSheila King Have you ever been in a class so involved that you lived and breathe ed for that class? Each year a select group of students does just that; they live a classe-home manage- ment residence. The class is a 400-level, 5-hour course that lasts approximately 50 days for each group of home economics students. The house now in use accomodates four to seven women and one instructor. Charlotte Revelle, associate pro: fessor of home economics, said, llThe house is an internship which gives the students ideas of how to fwMNWW House use management concepts both per- 75 sonally and professionally While staying at the house each student pays rent of $165, which gives them their budget to work from during their stay. The residents start with a budget classified by the federal government as food stamp income. At this level it is necessary for the residents to manage their money very carefully. The budget is gradually raised ac- cording to how much money is left after utility bills, heating bills, etc., are paid. This gives the students the opportunity to experience what is necessary to manage under differing circumstances. keepers In operating within the budgg the students assume duties 2n rotate so that they have all work as the cook, manager, hOUSCkCCpQ; waiter, and laundry person. Residents are encouraged to brin unusual foods from home, such; venison, wild turkey, quail and wil goose. llThe emphasis is on practic, everyday living and wild meats are part of thisf, Revelle said. This Ci poses some students to an aspectt cooking they may have never dea with otherwise. Although the class is time co: suming, the students seem to enjo it.
