The work of these classes will be based, in so far as possiple, upon
activities used in military training and will include: calisthenics, tumbling and
apparatus stunts, self-testing activities, self-defense, wrestling, running,
jumping, vaulting, climbing, pushing, pulling, lifting, hiking, swimming and
water safety, basketball, volleyball and other games.

For those who are already in good condition or who cannot attend the
conditioning classes the following activities are recommended. ‘ f

1. For circulatory endurance: long running, walkinig,and skating;
running games; any activity which requires prolonged effort. For rapid
improvement in endurance it is important that one continue the exercise
to the point of breathlessness.

2. For power (strength plus speed) and agility: sprint running and
swimming; jumping, climbing, pushing, pulling, lifting; apparatus work;
some athletic games. For rapid increase in strength it is important to
overload the muscles being developed.

3. For flexibility (especially needed by the older men); special
exercises prescribed for specific conditions.

The addition of the testing program and the conditioning classes will
put a considerable load on the physical education facilities and staff. The de-
partment will welcome volunteers from the faculty and student body to help ad-
minister and score the tests and to serve as squad leaders in the classes.
Volunteers are requested to leave their names and available hours at the
Athletic Office.

Non-students enrolled for basic training under the Institute of Military
Studies may register for the conditioning classes. They may not take the tests
or attend the classes until they have medical approval for heavy exercise. The
only charge to non-students for the conditioning classes is the towel service fee
of $1.00 per quarter. Register and pay the fee at the Office in Bartlett Gymna-
sium.
