Miss Hoover Recalls Changes in P.E. Setup
Miss Ruth Hoover, associate professor of physical education, has seen many changes in the field of physical education since she came to the University of Kansas in 1921.
In the beginning of the curriculum there was no election of courses. Each student had to take certain subjects when she enrolled in physical education. At that time,
Some physical education was required of all students enrolled in the University. The classes were large and it was impossible to have any type of activity sports, to classes were conducted in marching, drilling, and folk dancing. With such large classes it was impossible to have outdoor sports.
During these years, Miss Hoover said, "There has also been an increase in intra-mural participation. At times we have had as many as 24 teams participating. The program was first started with only basketball but has now been increased to include softball, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, golf, swimming, badminton, and bowling. At times archery has been included."
In recent years there has been an increase in activity sports. Emphasis has been placed more on individual and dual sports such as tennis, badminton, and archery. More courses are now elective.
In Lovington, Ill., where she was born, she first became interested in physical education as a child by playing catch with the boy across the street and her older brother.
Miss Hoover was graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.A. degree and attended summer school at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Iowa She received her master's in physical education degree from Columbia university.
She came to KU immediately after receiving her degree and has

When she first came to the University she taught all types of sports including swimming. She came as an instructor and advanced to the head of the department of physical education for women, a position she stepped down from in 1952.

She follows no special diet or special program. of exercise. She keeps in top physical condition by playing golf in the summer and badminton in the winter. "I don't do too much of either anymore since I don't have time," she says.
She enjoys teaching hockey as a team sport and badminton as an individual sport.
She has never entered any swimming competition since she participated in school and class meets in college. She didn't learn to swim until she attended college.

The Kansas Entomology Centenial Commemoration committee, headed by Dr. Charles D. Michener, professor of entomology, and Dr. Herbert Knutson of Kansas State college, has been cited by the American Public Relations association for its efforts during 1954 toward increasing public awareness of insect problems.
The APRA presented its highest award, a silver anvil, to "the nation's 4,500 professional entomologists" at its annual awards luncheon in Philadelphia. National Centennial chairman David G. Hall of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a former Kansan, accepted the award for his fellow scientists.
Mr. Hall also credited another Kansan, Robert B. Rathbone, with an important role in the success of the Centennial. Mr. Rathbone directed national newspaper, magazine, radio and TV coverage of the event.
Entomology Unit Draws Citation
Highlighting the University centennial effort was an open house at Snow hall on Sept. 24 and 25, which attracted more than a thousand visitors.
The committee directed statewide public relations that incorporated press, radio, television, public demonstrations, speeches, exhibits, and motion picture presentations.
