Allen Department of Physical Education My dear Doctor Allen: At its meeting on March 15, the Faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences approved the folliowing courses in Physical Education for regular College credit: % 36 History and Principles of Physical Education 3 hrs.-. ee 37 First Aid 2 hrs. — 55 Theory of the Dance 3 hrs. ;6o-—57 Principles of Community Recreation 3 hrs. 73 Problems in Intramural Sports 2 hrs. 85 Kinesiology 2 hrse The following courses were approved for Professional credit on the fifteen hour professional option: 2 35 Football 3. bee. 62 Theory of Athietios I 2 hrs. 63 Theory of Athletics II 2 hrs. 65 Basketball 2 hrs. 7L Officiating I 1 hr. 72 Officiating IT i hr, 74 Tests and Measurements in Physical Education 2 hrs. a . 75 Track and Field i bre. 2°°—80 Treatment of Athletic Injuries 2 brse> a 42o2-81 Organization and Administration of Physical Educ, 3 hrs. heer 83 Theory of Swimming (Women) 1 hr 84 Physical Examination and Prescription of Exercise 3 hrs. 90 Remedial and Physical Examination (Men) 2 brs. Anatomy 50 and 4 hours of gym credits are, of course, acceptable in addition to the above, According to the rules of the College Faculty, a student may take a maximum of 25 hours of work in a department other than his major, This would mean that College students may hereafter take as much as 25 hours in Physical Education, no matter what their major. This 25 hours of work, plus participation in the various sports, should offer an opportunity to a goodly number of boys and girls who do not care to take the full 4—year Physical Education curriculum, set up in the School of Education. I think these two possibilities in Physical Education should be made clear to all students interested in the subject, and I trust that your department will see that this is done as much as possible. In view of our recent experience, it is my judgment that Health Instruction should be dropped as a part of the freshman gym and that freshman gym should next year consist of three periods per week of gym work as does sophomore gym. I believe, therefore, that you should address a letter to the Faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, asking that this change be made so that we can vote on it OFFICE OF THE DEAN THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES LAWRENCE Dr. Allen — 4/5/38 — Page 2 at our Faculty meeting on April 19, If you will write this letter, I will present it for recommendation to our Administrative Committee, which meets on April 18, 4s to the Health Instruction, I believe it would be best not to do anything about it for a little while, perhaps for the coming year. I say this because I find at present there is no agreement about the matter among the several departments which are interested in the subject. I think it would be best to work at the problem somewhat slowly. Sincerely yours, Cn i Xeerm Paul B. Lawson, Dean PBL: LIR Ce. Ce to Miss Hoover and Mr. Elbel
