the elementary courses of at least six of these activities, of which
one must be swimming. Two activities should be elected from group A,
one from group B, one from group C, and one from group D. The other
activities may be from any of the groups. In addition, two of these
activities should be continued at the intermediate (or advanced)
level. Upper classmen and graduate students shall select these
activities only . after consultation with their advisors. This
basic skills course shall be added to the conditioning course during
the regular three periods a week of required classwork.

programs will pe offered for those unable to ee pursue the
regular courses described above.

 

TESTING PROGRAM

 

A It is proposed that with the addition of more periods a
week, a more comprehensive program of measurement be instituted in
order that attention can be better directed to the individual needs
of each student. These needs would include more individual remedial
work for the correction of physical defects and deficiencies, as
well as more attention to the raising of the individual's general

physical efficiency.

For the period during which the United States is at war, it
is proposed that both the standard of fitness ordinarily adjudged as
satisfactory and also the standard usually held as a minimum be
raised. In the service the soldier must, for a great part of the
time, march for many miles with a load ar heavy as forty pounds.
Therefore, he must have developed a musculature adequate to care for
this weight which is in addition to his own body weight. The standard
for the individual of smaller stature and weight has to be higher
than that for the taller and heavier individual, for the load
which must be carried is proportionately greater for the smaller
man than for the larger man. Adequate norms have been worked out so
