Dear Doctor Allen:

Early in the school year you asked members of the staff
for suggestions concerning the creation of more interest on the
part of our physical education majors in the depertment and in
the Sasnak Club. The following suggestions are offered with the
thought that they might raise the esprit de corps among the men
physical education majors.

Personally, I feel that we would have more unity, interest
and a higher esprit de corps, if our men majors had an organization
of their own, ministering to their particular interests and needs,
rather than an organization which is combined with the women. There
are, no doubt, many points of common interest and some projects
and meetings might be carried out by both groups jointly to their
mutual benefite For the most part, however, I believe 4 men's orgeniza-
tion would provide both more interest and more service to the members.

Following are some suggestions that might be considered
for next year:

1. We rebeipt er a special uniform for our majors. Would
the addition of “bh § Cfonia, with the abbrevietion "Phys. Ed. Major"
on the shirt add to our majors' feeling of unity and prestige?

Many schools on the Pacific Coast distinguish their majors by such
lettering and insignia.

2. There is a national honorary physical education fraternity,
with chapters in many of the leading physical education schools in
the country, which might or might not be beneficial to us here at
K. Ue A local chapter would be one more step in gaining unity within
