 Because sound bodies arc assets to sound minds, the Division of Physical Education is designed to de- velop in participants the qualities of initiative, physi- cal fitness, and good sportsmanship. Its major objec- tives arc to provide opportunity for everyone to participate in intercollegiate and intramural activities and to train professional teachers in the fields of physical education and coaching. Divisional majors are offered in physical education, with major emphasis on health, recreation, and coach- ing. Minors may be pursued in physical education, health education, or recreation. • fiir The division hosts a variety of extra-curricular pro- grams: intercollegiate athletics, a health sen-ice pro- gram, intramural sjxirts, and a community physical education program. The addition of a new gymnasium to the upper cam- pus increases the value of the entire school, serving to unify the physical education program and to aid instructors in providing a fuller and more effective curriculum. The new gym houses seven teaching stations: a three-court basketball floor, a six-lane swimming pool, an apparatus room, a wrestling room, a dance studio, a five handball court, and a balcony for both badminton and volleyball. Outside expansion plans include play fields, tennis courts, and an increase in the number of scats in the present stadium. 22 A biceps curl, military press, ami a one-arm press ate demonstrated by gym students.
