Body huilding and cofordinaf tion are the main objectives of our Physical Educa- tion Department, The outstanding advantage of the department is the large swimming pool. ln this unique area, the heginner can acquire a hetter appreciation of the water through an understanding of the fundaf mentals of swimming. More advanced students can increase their skill in hoth swimming and diving under the competent instructors.

About the footl hall field runs a quarterfmile cinder track. 22
