School of Education

Dear Dean Smith; .

I would like to recommend that advanced football,
bisted as course number 82, be advanced to the 100 level, I
would suggest the number 182, This course will be taught by
Mre Henry Shenk. We feel that there will be much demand from the
veterans who expect to teach in high school and need the advanced
worke

Also, there is remedial soil physical examination,
listed as number 90. Both Henry Shenk and Red Strait took this
as graduate work at the tiniversities of Wisconsin and Iowa, re-
spectivelye I would*suggest that we raise this course to the —
100 level, giving it the number rts so that course will get
graduate erm sts

There is a great need for a course in officiating

major sports and games. Many boys with graduate degrees teach in
high schools but do not coach. They could render a great service.
to the school systems by having talents that would enable them to .
referee football and basketball games, as well as officiate at track
meets and umpire baseball games, We have few good officials. Also,
many of our coaches are asked to officiate in other communities, while
they are coaching a school. Just because a coach has been a player is
no indication that he is an official, This leck of experience proves
embarrassing many times to an excellent coach who is a poor official.
This is because he has had no laboratory experience, The laboratory
experience that we propose would be officiating in these intramural -
football and basketball games, and certainly intramural officiating
is not of the highest class.in this favored university. It would be

a real service to all concertiéd and the teachers here would supervise
the officiating, as well as the teaching of the course, I respective-
ly suggest that we offer a new course under the title "Officiating
Major Sports and Games", ume course number would be 112.

If later along in this semester we feel thet more graduate
-eourses are needed for summer session, I suggest that we offer either
one of these two courses, M194, Content and Method of Physical Education,
three hours, or 202, — and Administration of ~~ Educa=
tion, three hours. |

Sincerely yours,

7 Director of Physical Education,
FCA: MF Varsity Basketball Coach.

Dear Dr. Allen:

We are offering the following courses carrying graduate
credit this Spring:

100 Prin. of Community Recreation 3 hrse
A 254 ‘School Hygiene 2 hrse
M 194 Content & Method of Phys. Ed. 3 hrse
202 Org. & Adminstration of Phys. 3 hrse

300 Special problems of Phys. Ed. 2-4 hrse

13-15 hrse

I should think that this would be enough to offer this
Spring. If not, we might petition the graduate school to:

1. Change the number of course 90 Remedial & K
Physical Examination to No. 170 so that the
course will get graduate credit.

Offer a new course No. 112, the title of the
course to be "-officiating major Sports & /-
Games".

If these offerings are not sufficient, I suggest that
we offer: :

176 Tests & measurements in Phys. Ed. 3 hrse .-

312 Seminar in Physical Ed. | 3 hrse

Very sincerely,

Shah
