SENATE ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT TO SENATE In the November meeting the Senate delegated to the Advisory Committee the task of defining and delimiting the function of the Senate Committee on Athletics and the Athletic Board. The Advisory Committee has studied the prob- lem for a period of some three months and has held numerous meetings and con- ferences in the course of its study. As a result of these deliberations and conferences certain facts emerged which seem to the committee to be of paramount importance in the consideration of the problem and basic to any action which the University Senate may take. Some of these major facts the committee had in mind are: 1. The charter of the Physical Education Corporation itself bears upon the problem. We quote from the charter "That this corporation is organized not for profit and that the purposes for which it is formed are: "To promote and encourage the physical education and development of the students in the University of Kansas in harmony with and in subjection to the general educational policy of said University}; to schedule and manage athletic contests of such sorts as are in harmony with the policy aforesaid and collect and own the receipts from all such contests and expend and disburse the same in the interest of the physical education of the student body of the University of Kansas; to borrow money for the above purposes and own or lease such property, real or personal, as it is necessary or proper to hold therefor." From the minutes of the Board, May 29, 1928 "That there be a Board of Directors of the Physical Education Corporation constituted as follows: seven members of the faculty, three alumni members, and two students. This proportion is necessary in order to satisfy the regulation of the conference to which we be- long that athletics shall be under full faculty control." 2. That by the nature of the charter of the Physical Education Corporation and the administrative organization set up under this charter the Senate has no direct part to play in activities of the Physical Education Corporation or ee control over its activities except in so far as it has become the practice of the Athletic Board to delegate the choice of faculty members to the Senate. 3. There appears to be considerable evidence that provision for student physical recre ‘ot other than intercollegiate athletics is inadequate in com- parison wih one institutions. This inadequacy seems to be the result of numerous factors, including insufficient funds, inadequate equipment, and in- sufficient personnel. 4, No definite information is available as to the actual number of students served by the present intramural program, but it is highiy probable that not more than Pitty percent of the total student body is served by such programs and that disparity exists in respect to the proportion of students in organized fraternities and those not so organized who are involved; also there supdars to -be a disparity in banpent to the number of men as compared to the number of women served. 5. The intramural and general whysical recreation program as now existent seems to have no recognized sponsoring body. It is at present carried on by the Department of Physical Education, whose principal recognized obligation is the pnysical education curriculum in ali its phases. 6. There is, in fact, an almost complete separation between competitive athletics and the physical education activities and physical recreation activities. The personnel concerned with the former is almost, though not completely, separate from the latter two, and the administrative machinery of the former almost com- pletely divorced from the latter two. In effect the competitive athletics are carried on and financed by a idedietaen outside the University, though theor- etically responsible to the faculty according to the regulations of the confer- ence to which we belong (see quotation above). os. With this general basis in ein and in view of the fact that it would seem that the Senate does have certain ae laos as should be informed in regard to the activities and welfare of all the students of this University wao participate in intercollegiate competition as well as in regard to the physical well being and physical recreation of the student body as a whole, the Advisory Committee suggests that either one of two alternate plans is available to the Senate, namely: a. Since according to its charter the Athletic Board really does have all I the powers which any senate committee on athletics could have, gar the actual activities and interests of the Athletic Board might be expanded to include the functions hereafter set forth, in which case no Senate Committee on Athletics would be needed. b. Or, since it would seem that at the present moment the Athletic Board must concern itself largely with intercollegiate competition and allied affairs, the Senate might continue its Committee on Athletics as a liaison committee to work in connection with the Athletic Board and the Department of Physical Education. In this event it is suggested that this committee be renamed the Senate Committee on Athletics and Physical Recreation. In either event the Advisory Committee suggests that the Senate approve as functions of the Athletic Board or committee of the Senate at least the following: 1. That with respect to intercollegiate athletics the Board cil committee a, Study the question of the requirements of hours of enrollment and standards of quality for athletes with a view to recommendation (if and vhnen desirable) to the Big Six Conference through our regular representatives. b. Investigate the academic load, psychological test records, and te academic records of members of varsity teams for the past five years, and make such recommendations concerning the maintenance of academic standards as may seem warranted. ec. Investigate the matter of employment for support of members of athletic varsity teams during their residence as stucents at the Univer- sity and recommend regulations concerning such employment. d. Investigate ant make recommendations concerning the control of eligibility of verei ty sduads. ‘ e. Concern itself with informing the Senate regarding any other matters affecting the status or welfare of stucents involved in inter- collegiate competition, or affected by activities looking toward such competition. 2. That with respect to intramural sports and physical recreation the Athletic Board & Senate committee a. Secure and transmit to the Senate full and complete data upon the present program of intramural sports and other forms of physical recrea- tion, including data concerning the number of students involved by sexes and whether members of organized houses or not; the schedules of games; the nature and adequacy of supervision; the status of the equipment of players; and similar pertinent data. b. Consider the advisability of control and limitation of games for any given organized groups; the control of hours of scheduling games, especially games after 8:30 p.m. except on week-ends. Ce tneaetigate and recomaend concerning certain hazardous games such as touch football, possibly with a view to the elimination of such games unless adequate facilities and supervision can be previced for them. to d. Investigate and recommend concerning the improvement of play- ing fields and equipment. e. Investigate and recommend a method or methods for student participation in the organization of physical recreation and intramural sports program. £. Recommend a policy for a general program of physical recreation. en heanainceetl 56 ~ 1. Athletics and Physical Re= creation Prof. Nash has no definite time for committee meetings.
