Requirements :

SALIENT POINTS IN THE PROPOSED COURSE IW
REQUIRED PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR
KANSAS MEN.

Each male student in the University of Kansas must, before
enrollment, have (1) a health examination by the University
of Kansas hospital, (2) a physical performance test given
by the Physical Education Department, and (3) a swimming
test also given by the Physical Education Department.

The health examination should sereen out any persons physically
unable to take vigorous physical exercise. All male students
physically able to do so as certified by the health department
must take three hours of physical education weekly. The men :
will be divided into three groups based upon the results of
the swimming examination and the physical performance tests.
These groups shall consist of Groups A, B, and C,

Swimming Program
Group A will be composed of 211 those men who camot pass the

swimming test. These men will be required to take elementary
swimming in the fall, The swimming test will consist of the
ability to swim two lengths of the pool and to remain afloat
5 minutes in deep water. Upon completion of the elementary

. Swimming course, students will be allowed to enroll in either

Group B or Group ©, depending upon their scores on the achieve-
ment test.
Required Toughening Program
Group B will be composed of men who must take the General
Physical Fitness course. This course will be primarily designed

 

as a developmental conditioning and toughening course. This
group will include men who have passed the swimming test satis-
factorily, but have not achieved satisfactory standards upon

the physical performance tests. Satizfactory in this case shall
be taken to mean the score of 50 on the average on the test. The
test used will be the Air Force Technical Training Command's
physical performance test (see copy attached), plus such other
tests as the Physical Edueation Department may devise. In other
words, a student must have a physicial proficiency equal to the
average man in the Army Air Force and mst have passed his
swimming requirement before he can participate in the optional
program for Group C,

Students out for varsity sports will be considered as being in
the toughening program until the end of that varsity sport, at
which time they will go into either Group 4, B, or 6, depending
upon their scores in the various tests,

Optional Required Program 3
Students will comprise Group © who have passed satisfactorily
both the swimming test and the required physical performance
standards. Anyone in this group may elect any of the regular
offerings of the Physical Education Department but will be re~
quired to participate in three hours of physical education each
weeke This program is aimed at maintaining the degree of physical —
2. General Aim:

fitmess alreach achieved and adding to it. In addition, it is
designed to teach skills, knowledges and techniques in the sports
and activities in which the student is interested so that those
activities may be pursued after the student is no longer in the
University. |

Intramurals
All men will be urged, in addition to the three hours of physical
education in the required program, te participate in at least two
hours per week of intramural athletics, |

to develop and maintain an a high state of physical efficiency
the men of the University, and at the same time to provide the
opportunity for the development of a physically, mentally and
socially integrated individual through vigorous physical activities,
Specific objectives. ;

1. To teach men to swim acceptably well,

2. To toughen and harden men physically so that they will be
able to make a greater oantribution to the war effort,

5. To develop recreational skills and knowledges which will
have a “carry over" value after college and also in time of peace.

4. Through the concomitant learnings attendant upon the physical
education experiences to develop the individual's character and
personality traits.

5. Development of safety ehewledges and techniques on land and
water.
3e

The Program:

Since this is a time of emergeney and many, if not all of
the young men of the University will be serving in some branch of
the armed forces of the United States government, it is essential
that these young men be in as good physical condition as possible
when they enter the service, That the Army considers physical
fitness very important is show by the following quotation taken
from the U, 8. Army's Basic Pield Manual FM 21~20, page one:

"fo perform his duties satisfactorily, the soldier must |
possess great organic vigor, muscular and nervous strength,
endurance and agility. The average recruit does not possess
the degree of physical fi mess required of a trained soldier,

The required degree of physical fitness can be acquired only
through physical training, The performance of purely military
exercises, that is, drill, marching, etc., is not alone suffi-
cient to correct the deficiencies and incorrect postures too
often acquired before becoming a soldier. Further, the con-
plexities of modern warfare require so much technieal training
for the soldier that all too frequently no time is allotted
for physical training; yet the soldier who possesses great
technical skill but is wable to withstand the rigorous life
demanded is of questionable value."

As Swimming, The customary course used to teach beginning
swimming will be used. Emphasis will be upon the following
points:
“See

1. Overcoming fear of the water

2. Prone glides

3. Rhythmic breathing

4, Development of elementary crawl, side and back strokes

5. Floating

6. Finning and eeultine
’ 7. Peet foremost and head foremost dives

8. Elementary turns.
The seehenb tet continue taking the course wtil the end of the
first nine weeks. If he is not sufficiently advanced at that
time to pass the swimmer's test he mist enroll in swimming until
he is able to pass the swimming requirement,

B. The Toughener Course (Required). The following activities
will be used in these classes to toughen and condition the men:

1. Body conditioning exercises

2, Running

3. Hiking

4, Obstacle course

5. Relays

6. Combatives

7. Team contests

8. Tumbling and apparatus

9. Stunts and self-testing activities

10, Mass games and contests (vigorous)

ll. Judo (Biu-Jitsu)

12. Miscellaneous games and sturits)
@ Ge

C. The Optional Required Program (Recreational).
The same activities as have bem offered the last several
years by the University will be offered in this program with

more sections and more activities.

4, Nunbers in Class: Glasses will be closed when filled to the mximm, In no
case will a class be held with fewer than 10 students enrolled.

5. Class Procedure: ,
*Roll will be checked by recording uncovered mumbers on the gym
‘floor, If the class medts outside roll will be checked by the
number calling technique.
