Physical Education Majors Club Shows Lively Organization, Pep
Sasnak, which is Kansas spelled backwards, was formally organized in November, 1937, under the supervision of Dr. F. C. Allen, then chairman of the physical education department. Various clubs had been formed since 1926 by men and women majoring in physical education, but their meetings were irregular and nothing in particular was accomplished. Dr. Allen had suggested the name "Sasnak" to an informal group in 1928, but not until 1937 did a group adopt a constitution and become an effective organization.
Besides sponsoring and naming the club, Dr. Allen started a newsletter which was sent to all graduates from the physical education department. Its purpose was to keep them informed on what the University was doing in their particular field.
Membership in Sasnak, which is Kansas spelled backwards, was open only to majors in physical education, whereas many of the previous clubs had included non-majors who were interested in sports. But Sasnak was a professional organization devoted to promoting interest in physical education as a profession, and providing a group for discussion of problems pertinent to physical education majors.
Tentative plans are being made to charter a bus to take the members to Topeka in March to attend the convention of the Kansas Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. At their meeting on Jan. 6, 1950, the discussion will center on techniques of applying for jobs, and the decision to start teaching after graduation or to work for a master's degree.
For this latter purpose prominent speakers from other departments and other universities were asked to discuss with members any information helpful to physical education majors. However, social life activities were scheduled. At several of the meetings dances and parties were given. The annual spring picnic became a tradition with the majors.
Sasnak had risen to a prominent place in University activities when the war started. This reduced club functions to a minimum. Members continued to hold occasional meetings, but to all practical purposes, these were conducted in the state of affairs continued during the war and the early post-war years.
Then in 1947 Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education, re-organized the club. With the aid of faculty sponsors, Miss Joie Stapleton, associate professor of physical education, and Reginald Strait, assistant professor of physical education started it again.
Two or three meetings were held during the year at which plans were discussed and a schedule made out for the program of 1948. In 1948 the club began to function more
effectively. Discussion meetings were planned in advance and prominent speakers were obtained at various times throughout the year.
During the teachers' workshop and Career week, Sasnak procured speakers from those meetings to speak before the club. Dr. Carl Nordley, president of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation and Dr. Mabel Lee, director of physical education for women at the University of Nebraska, have spoken to the members concerning problems'in the field of physical education.
From the staff of the University, the club has listened to H. E. Chandler, director of the placement bureau in the School of Education, Miss Lilyan, instructor in physical education, and Mr. Denton of Lawrence recreation, and Prof. E.R. Elbel, director of veterans affairs.
Sasnak is just beginning to get started once more and still has a lot to do before its reaches its pre-war activity. It also has to come back in the face of the great popularity of the K-club and the W. A. A. However, Miss Joe Stapleton, Sasnak co-sponsor, pointed out that W. A. A. is open to anyone proficient enough in sports, whereas Sasnak is limited to majors and their interests and problems.
Miss Stapleton said that another reason for the club's slow comeback is that much of a club's activity is based on tradition. Once that tradition is broken it is hard to build it up again. But she believed that Sasnak has come to its lowest point and is on the way up. Meetings have been better planned this year and interest is increasing.
