REGULATIONS CONCERNING CATALOGUE MATERIAL Adopted by the University Senate REVISION OF CaTaLOGUE DESCRIPTIONS -- Catalogue statements concerning all courses shall be revised to the end that an accurate description of the content of each course shall be presented and limitations of enrollment in any two or more on the basis of similarity of offerings shall be clearly indicated, not only for courses within a single department but also for courses in different departments. -- Adopted May 20, 1935. NEW COURSES OR CHANGES IN COURSES ~- The Senate Advisory Committee shall serve as a committee on new courses. No new course or change in the content of a course shall be offered or shall be announced in the University catalogue unless it has been authorized by the following procedure; a. When any school has approved a new course, or a change in the content of a course, that school shall notify the Senate Advisory Committee. The Senate Advisory Committee shall notify all deans and chairmen of departments concerned of the proposed action and of a date prior to which requests for conference may be filed. Any faculty member concerned with or opposed to such proposals may ask the Senate Advisory Committee for a conference on the proposed course or change. If no request is received, and the Senate Advisory Committee itself makes no adverse recom» mendations, such course or change shall be considered as approved by the committee on the date fixed. If any request for a confer- ence is received the Senate Advisory Committee shall arrange a conference of all interested persons. ; If, after conference, the Senate Advisory Committee considers the new course, or the change, unwarranted, and if the school initiating the action does not accept the committee's conclusions, the Senate Advisory Committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the Senate for the Senate action. --Adapted May 20, 1935 bd.

To the a Revision Committee, School of Education, University of-Kansase Gentlemen : The Department of Physical Education respectfully submits the following recommendations with a view toward improving the requirements of the major course in Physical Educations le That course #59. Elementary School Playground Activities be a required course for both men and women majors (was a requirement for women during 1939=41). That the contents of 33M. be changed to soccer, handball, speedball, wrestling. That the contents of 34M. be changed to Rhythms, fencing,ssftball, golf or swimminge Notes By changing the contents of 33M and 34M there is less repetition of activitiess ae : UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS o> LAWRENCE 5 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION January 9, 1940 Dr. Forrest Ce Allen Director of Physical Education and Recreation University of Kansas Dear Doctor Allens Attached to this letter is an outline, "Some Problems and Suggestions Concerning the Prerequsites for len Practice Teachers." In this outline I have attempted to analyze the present needs of our majors, and possible changes in our curriculum which might better prepare our majors to meet these needse A swamary of the major changes or additions in our teacher- training curriculum are here listed: 1. The addition of a course in methods of teaching team and individual games and activitiese My outline indicates that at present this needvis not being filled. Specific methods of teaching cannot be included in the 30 series, or in Content and Method, — which is chiefly content. Coaching courses generally deal with technique of that particular sport, individual and team play, rather than methods. 2. The addition of Elementary School Playground iii a as a required coursée : In this course are included those lead-up games and games of low organization which should be used in elementary schools, playgrounds, junior high school and general work with younger children. The addition would round out the training of our majors and make them truly physical education majors, who could lead activities from grade school through college. 3e The inclusion of rhythms, to include at least social and folk dancing, either in the 30 series or in a skills class. (Arrangements would have to be made with Miss Byrn.) 7 | Dre Forrest Ce Allen =2= January 9, 1940 4. The addition of skill and kmowledge courses in special high school games such as soccer, speedball and touch foot- bell in the curriculum. Probably these sports could be covered in the 30 seriese 5e The requirement of passing the junior or senior Red Cross life saving examination before graduatione Physical education teachers are looked upon as all- round exper$€ and may be called upon to act in the capacity of a life guard or instructor. The holder of a certificate may also enhance his opportunities of obtaining summer or regular schoolwork. 6. The requirement of acquiring at least minimum skill, practice and instruction in the major sports of football, basketball, track and baseball or softball before enrolling in the coaching theory courses. Membership on freshman or ; varsity squads, completion of skills courses, or 30 seriesy } which include these sports, would be acceptede 7. The establishment of a four year activity record card, to be filed in the physical education office, for every male physical education majore This record card would show the | boy's athletic, intra-mural, and skill's class participa- tion, training room work, assistant coaching duties, field | a‘ trips and all other activities pertaining to his preparation &s @ coach and teacher of physical educatione Yours sincerely EB di Mat, L. ; Be Be De Groot, Jre DG:g Instructor, Department of Physe Ede E.
