Truth of the matter is. that Gene will have a tough time making the Kansas team this year. He is a fine boy and before he is through he will make a dandy. He is only eighteen years of age and naturally he is awkward. . The more I gee him play I marvel on his getting seven baskets on Heim et Lincoln. lihen ileim is offihe is terrible and this was one of the nights he was off, Nebraska was “hot" as fire crackers and every time that they shot, they hit. The fact that they won one tame the whole season bring the fact that they were overbeaten, Yes, I know this boy Fox at Indianapolis. He writes some good stuff but he took his que from (Gy Sherman's article at Lincoln on the Daily Star. The Blligibility Committee of the Big Six has already ruled Petersen elligible to play for Kansas so that is just so much "pif. Please tell Lt. George Hitz that we will have better basketball players than the boy who left Lincoln. We think a lot of Gene and we will work as hard with him as if he were the only player that we had to develope at Kansas and it will take a lot of hard work. : I just returned from Saint Bike's Ilospital late this afternoon > where I stayed all day from 8:00 on until 3:30.

ATHLETIC CLuB 405 WASHINGTON ST. LOUIS 2, MO. danuary 31, 1946 Mr, Re T, Anderson General Passenger Agent Santa Fe General Office Topeka, Kansas Dear Mr. Aridersons « I wish to report a case of discourteous conduct on the part of your Conductor Straight, who was in charge of train number four East bound on December 25, 1946. I had made arrangements with Mr. Louis Cote, your Santa Fe ticket agent at Lawrence, Kansas, for our Varsity Basketball Team requiring eighteen tickets for Okla- home City and return, We were to play in the Collegiate Basketball Tournament down there and it was imperative that we get out of Kansas City the evening of the 25th so that we might participate in tournament play at two o'clock the next afternoon, I constantly checked with Mr. Cote during the afternoon of Christmas Day to find out whether train number four would be too late for this connection. Mr. Cote checked and advised me that we would make connections okay; otherwise, we were going to drive to Ottawa, Kansas, and catch the Oklahoma City train there, Mr. Cote informed me that he sed every reasonable device at his command to notify the train officials that we would be on that train bound for Kansas City. I do not handle the tickets, that being in charge of our team trainer Mr. Dean Wesmith, When the train pulled in rather late, Vr. Nesmith handed Conductor Straight _ the tickets and he refused to take them, saying there were too many passengers to board that train. I was in the far background and’ did not hear the conversation until I was told by Mr. Nesmith that the conductor refused to allow us to board the train. By that. time I came upon the scene and told him that it was absolutely imperative that we board that train and, further, that we had pullman reservations for Oklahoma City out of Kansas City and now it was too late for us to make arrangements’ to go to Ottawa. Conductor Straight was not only downright discourteous, but he was reprehensible, repulsive, and repélient. 8S Be I tried to reason with him until I saw that was impossible, then I said to him, "We are going to ride this train to Kanses City whether you say so or not." Then I told two of my men to hurry to the station agent to notify the agent of our plight. It happened that number four was switched over on the opposite track, which made our effort to get to the depot rather difficult. Conductor Straight, seeing what we had done, signalled the train ahead, When I saw him dothis, we made a dash for one of the pullman cars. A maval officer, who was a passenger, had opened the top door of the - platform to look out. I yelled at him to open the remaining part of the opening on the platform landing. He said he could not, and so I ordered one of our men to jump up on the platform and open the door from the inside, which he did. The train was now moving off and we boarded the moving train under severe hazards. We went on back through the pullman coaches to the observation car, where we were given seats by the porter. One of our party, Mr. Don Pierce of Topeka, Kansas, our publicity men, whom I had asked to notify the agent, had to wing onto the back end of the moving train at great risk to his personal safety. In the excitement of going to the depot his bag was mis- placed and it has never been found. It contained his travelling wardrobe, together with a set of $150.00 contact lenses, which were highly necessary and’ valuable to him, Ke Mr. Re Te Anderson : wie January 31, 1946 During the argument thet Conductor Straight and I had, there were women waiting outside and I said “admit the women first", which was done. To my recollection, there were thirty-two passengers who boarded that train before we attempted to get on. When I stepped on the passenger car steps to see if there was more room for more of us to get on'the passenger coach, Conductor Straight used his forearm and pushed me back of f the platform of the coach to the ground. Oyt of our eighteen passengers, there were nine of them who were Army and Navy men in uniform. | I immediately called Mr. Cote from Oklahoma City to report the loss of Mr. Pierce's bag and to have him try to trace it for Mr. Pierce. Mre Pierce also reported it upon arrival in Kansas City to the train master. i I waited quite sometime towite this letter because this is the first time ee my thirty-four years of patronizing the Santa Fe with athletic teams that I have had any difficulty whatsoever. When I was at The Teachers College at Warrensburg from 1912 to 1919, Tom Woleott got all of our business when we were going in any direction that the ‘Santa Fe could haul us. I came to the University of Kansas in 1919 and was Director of Athleties for eighteen years. Buring that time I always had the most pleasant relations with all Santa Fe personnel. I have never had the slightest word with any conductor or employe of the Santa Fe System prior to this imbroglio. Wr. Howard MeConnell, who was ticket agent here four years and is now the proe prietor of the MeConnell Lumber Company of Lawrence, Kansas, was most courteous and co- | operative all those years, as has been Mr. Louis Cote, the present incumbent at Lawrence. I could not ask for a more helpful or more courteous man to deal with than Mr. Cote. He ‘has been wonderful, Therefore, I feel that he did everything he could to help use Certainly, I think, your conductor was very out of line. Under these conditions, 3 I would appreciate your investigating the situation and informing us why we were denied passage on your train. | Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Edueation, ’ —FCAsHF . | Varsity Basketball Coach. i My Do You Belong to Your National Association? By C. H. McCLOY StaTE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA EAR after year I am both amazed and distressed at the number of teachers of physical educa- tion who fail to join the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, hereafter to be spoken of as the A. A. H. P. E. R. I am distressed by the fact that so few of us are supporting our na- tional organization. From a purely selfish point of view, what do we get for our money? First, we get a real bargain of literature. I have analyzed the 1939 magazines of the Association. For the $2.50 membership we get the JouRNAL oF HEALTH AND PuysicaL Epucation. In 1939, there were ap- proximately 450,000 words of professional material (exclusive of advertising). This amount would cor- respond to about 1,500 pages of ordinary textbook size. If purchased in book form, this material would cost from $12.00 to $15.00, according to the number of tables, cuts, etc. In the magazine we get this material for $2.50 a year. If we were offered four or five 300- Reprinted from THE JOURNAL OF HEALTH AND PHYSICAL Epucation, April, 1941, Vol. XII, No. 4. page, up-to-date textbooks for $2.50, we would think it-a real bargain. THE JOURNALS present a varied menu. In 1939, among other things, there were articles on the follow- ing topics: intramurals, athletics, point systems, swim- ming programs, safety education, and_ recreational programs—both theoretical and practical. There were articles on co-recreation, motivating the program, cur- riculum planning, interscholastic athletics, the prob- lem of scholarships for athletes, and teacher training. Experts in health education discussed many phases of their field, such as the organization of health edu- cation, criteria of a good program of health educa- tion, medical services, posture education, policies of health service, and the contribution of the health sciences. There were papers on supervision, on mental hygiene, on physical therapy, and on sports for the handicapped; a philosophy of physical education and an athletic philosophy. There were papers on the me- chanics of physical education and discussions of vari- ous sports, such as archery, basketball, badminton, etc. Educational administrators discussed physical educa- tion from the administrative point of view. There were articles on the current history of physical education, such as physical education in Great Britain, Czecho- slovakia, Poland, and Finland. There were articles on exhibitions, water carnivals, and on practical programs in other fields. One section which appears every month on “How We Do It” gives much practical experience on the programs of good teaching from all over the country. There are many items of news of what is going on in physical education in the United States. Many of these items lead to ideas that we all can use —and all for $2.50. Selfishly, any teacher who each year gets and uses a few new ideas that will make him a 10 per cent bét- ter teacher will advance in his profession, with an accompanying increase in salary. Anyone who does not get such new ideas from the JOURNAL each year is either very stupid, careless, or lazy. It would seem to me that this $2.50 membership is a very small amount of bait when we are fishing for a two hundred-dollar raise in salary. I do not believe you can afford not to be a member. Nov for the Research Quarterly. This will cost you $3.00 per year. In 1939, it published about 400,000 words and a total of 66 articles. In terms of textbooks, it would amount to about four books which would cost from twelve to fifteen dollars. Again, at $3.00, this is a real bargain. The content of the Quar- terly is composed of research materials, and there we find most of what is published in research in our field in the United States. Some of this material is very good. Some is weak, but much of it you cannot afford to miss if you want to keep up with the advancements in your field. One of the services is a rather extensive set of book reviews which lets you know whether or not you wish ‘to invest your money in some of the newer books. If you subscribe to the Quarterly, read it carefully and then really think. A good deal of it will make you a better teacher and worth more to your employer. TS second thing to consider is that the A. A. H. P. E. R. is our professional organization. It makes possible the publication of these magazines; it works for high standards; it promotes committee work that improves the programs and the administration of health, physical education, and recreation; and it smooths the relationships between specialists and edu- cational administrators. This Association is working on the publication of year-books and has a health education service in its offices in Washington. All these services of the National Association cost you nothing. They come with your membership for the price of the magazines, and these, as I have indicated, are the world’s best bargains. It may be worth pointing out that this magazine service in other professional organizations, such as those of chemistry, psychology, and sociology cost from $5.00 to $20.00 a year, the average being about $10.00. Can you afford not to join? These magazines do not duplicate the field of the Scholastic Coach or the Athletic Journal. They are de- voted to the phases of physical education and health education other than those of competitive athletics. Nor do they duplicate the field of the Service Bulletin. This is a strength, for thus the five magazines supple- ment each other. How subscribe? Send $2.50 if you wish only the JOURNAL, or $5.00 if you wish both the JournaL and the Quarterly, to the Executive-Secretary, 1201 Six- teenth Street, Northwest, Washington, D. C., and ask to be enrolled as a member of the national organiza- tion. This automatically enrolls you as a member of your district association as well. When you write, tell where you teach as well as give your address, and if you really want to receive the magazines, write your name and address legibly.

PRESIDENT EXECUTIVE SECRETARY PLATFORM AMERICAN ASSOCIATION for HEALTH, PHYSIGAL EDUCATION, and REGREATION (1) (2) * As shown by the draft, AME cen ately 50% of American youth have disa- bling defects, hence It is necessary to have medical examina- tions for every young person of school age, the type of examination and the organiza- tion necessary to be determined by organ: ized medicine and public health. The neglected defects in childhood are the same defects which prevent ac- (3) ceptance for service, hence It is important to secure the early cor- rection of every remediable defect, the ways and means to be determined by the family and the community. Many young persons violate health practices because they do not know how to live, hence o - There should be emphasis upon rest and ~. sleep, nutrition, recreation, exercise, men- (4) tal and social hygiene, medical and dental care in order to develop gapanle patterns of living. Many children fail to grow properly, are weak, are unable to protect them- selves adequately i in emergencies, and lack recreational skills, hence All children should be taught motor skills which promote growth, development, safety, and recreation suitable to age, sex, and condition of health. A program of physical education consisting only of weight lifting, strength stunts, calisthenics, march- ing, or similar exercises is too limited for the needs of growing boys and girls. (5) 7 * The things hildees learn in school should function in their lives now and afterwards in civilian life, hence The program should consist of rhythms, games, sports, athletics, and body building activities, the latter directed particularly to the arms and upper back. The program should extend competitive interschool ath- letics suitable for individuals concerned. There are many desirable facilities and opportunities in the community, hence In conjunction with the regular program of the school, wide use should be made of _ community and state facilities and oppor- (7) (8) tunities for camping, hiking, riding, boat- ing and other similar outdoor activities. Vitality, strength, and skills cannot be developed without adequate time, hence In order to er, agility, skills, rug- gedness, strength, and endurance, a aay program of participation under qualified instructors throughout childhood and youth should be provided. No comprehensive programs are pos- sible without facilities, hence Communities should provide adequate in- door and outdoor facilities, including facil- — ities for swimming, in order to make pos- sible a desirable program of physical education for all children and youth.

Tn AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, AND RECREATION A DEPARTMENT OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION 1201 Sixteenth Street, Northwest, Washington 6, D. C. School year 1945-46 Dear Director and Teacher Educator: Real progress is being made in our fight for professional status. There has been splendid cooperation thus far. Teacher education institutions are in a strategic position to continue to help lead the way. Enclosed is a copy of the official membership count as of June 1, 1945, which presents also a summary of efforts made _ during the past year. This battle is a major step in achieving for the profession what all of us desire. Enclosed is a list of those teacher education institutions that have achieved honor roll status for 1944-45 by having 100 per cent membership in the A.A.H.P.E.R. of all major students in resident attendance in either men's or women's departments. These have been published from time to time in the Journal of Health and Physical Edugation in a special section.called HONOR ROLL OF TEACHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS a ae a “ 4 ey ial le i by the head of the major department. | 4 For the first time in history. an Association Directory has been published. Tt . includes all.the names and addresses of A.A,H.P.E.R. members as of June Ly 29k, A plus all types of Honor Rolls. Included are the names, school afPiliation, and addresses of state and district membership chairmen. Advertising made this project a self—paying publication. Jt is being distributed nationwide, and will result in services rendered to those whose names appear in it. Please stress in your pro- motional efforts the value of having all teachers in our field included in this ? official poke bony of leadership for the profession. : | ‘ a es 2 ete ga EI eco cogs As a teacher educator and administrator you and your staff possess the first chance to inspire and guide future teachers in the field. Furthermore, this first chance is the one which can be most impressive and everlasting. To imbue prospective teachers with the value of professional organization as an instrument to mobilize the entire leadership of our profession and to help prove through practical first- 2 hand experience that professional organization is primarily responsible for profes- | =a Sional security and progress is both a duty and an obligation of all of us. qnese : efforts should begin early. Student memberships help student morale, give them splendid materials that can be used in their class work, und make them official a members of the profession they have already entered. 4s Joy Elmer Morgan, Editor oS of ‘the .N.E.A..Journal, .has stated, "Tf the work of these schools were perfectly. i done for one generation, there woud be no teacher who did not understand the importance of taking part in professional organization," \ In the Septémber, 1944, issue of the Journal of Health and Physical Education, President Hughes in his editorial, "4 United Profession," presented the plans of the A.A.H.P.E.R, for the past yeur andthe three Vice-presidents, Dr. Nyswander, WOE this same issue you no doubt read the article, "A Fight for Professional Status." The reasons for and the implications of the nationwide fight are there presented. The results have been. very encouraging. In the June, 1945, issue President Hughes in "An Open Letter to Members of the 4.4.H.P.E.R." presented a report on progress made and projects Association plans for the coming year. We sincerely hope that you will take the necessary time from your busy schedule and present these meterials to your — and students. We wish to remind you that the quota system applies to both State and National Association memberships. Honor Roll status is given for state as well as National efforts. From the viewpoint of professional advancement of the profession enlarged and more aggressive state associations are as important or even more so than to have a "top heavy" national setup. State and District-National membership campaigns should be conducted simultaneously. As you may recall, we are giving recognition to different groups that merit Honor “Roll status.

States achieving State Association membership quotas. States achieving National Associution membership quotas.

The policy of the Editorial Committee, headed by Dr. C. H. MeCloy, und of Miss Mery Wibel, the Editor, has rightfully been to maintain the highest stendard of quality. Consequently there is a need for many more worthwhile manuscripts to be submitted for publicetions. In your key, position of leadership we hope you will; a. Call to the attention of Miss Wibel any possible sources of research material; b. Encourage publication of abstracts of good theses} c. Stimulate investigations with the viewpoint of possible publication; and d. Submit any research that you may have conducted recently. We shall be grateful if you will bring these problems before your steff and student body now and in the early fall and spring. This letter is being sent to both men's and women's directors in all teacher education institutions in the United States where majors or minor curriculums have been established. JIn case you are not directly concerned, please pass the letter to the person most likely to Bg give ve it attention. All of your efforts are appreciated. With ee the effiliation of individuals in our. field with their state, district, and national esscciations is now the greatest in history, despite the tremendous loss of personnel during these times and the elimination of practically all conventions. This achievement should give us a grand basis for more intense efforts after the war and should give every interested professional person a sense of satisfaction that his or her professional organization responded well during the emergency.
