Others Outclass KU
Gym Compares Poorly
By Linda Swander
(Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles on Robinson Gymnasium.)
How does Robinson Gymnasium compare with other gymnastiums at universities in the Big Eight and Big Ten Conferences?
The following survey shows that KU's gymnasium facilities are inadequate as compared to schools in the Big Eight and Big Ten Conferences and some Kansas high schools.
Kansas State University has separate facilities for the men and women. There are three basketball courts for the men plus facilities for wrestling, tumbling and general exercise. One year of physical education is required.
THE UNIVERSITY of Nebraska has two swimming pools, six to eight basketball courts and facilities for wrestling.
Iowa State has two swimming pools and wrestling facilities.
The University of Missouri has a swimming pool for the women. Regularly enrolled students are required to take at least one year of physical education.
The University of Oklahoma has one pool for the men, wrestling facilities and eight basketball courts. Students are required to take courses in physical education.
OKLAHOMA STATE has wrestling facilities. It requires physical education of all students.
The University of Colorado offers courses in wrestling and boxing. It has separate gymnasiums for the men and women and two swimming pools. At least a year of physical education is required.
Co-recreational sports highlight the physical education program at Iowa State University, Iowa City, Iowa. "Play-Nites" are conducted for students and faculty twice a week. "Family-Nites" are held once a month.
A special attraction at Purdue University, LaFayette, Ind., in a recreational gymnasium. Use of the recreational gymnasium is paid for through the student activity fees. The gymnasium has two outdoor swimming pools, an indoor pool and an outdoor ice skating rink, which can be converted into a tennis court in the summer. Special clubs have been organized for enthusiasts in riding, table tennis, cycling, sailing and judo.
THE MENS' AND women's gymnasiums at Purdue have separate facilities, each with a swimming pool.
The first article on Robinson gymnasium mentioned Ohio State University which has three swimming pools for the men alone.
The University has one gymnasium for both men and women students, one swimming pool, one basketball court and no facilities for wrestling. The women's gymnasium at K-State is as large as Robinson Gymnasium.
"The gymnasium facilities are not adequate for the entire student body and the teaching staff is not big enough." Henry Shenk, chairman of the physical education department, said.
PROF. SHENK said the inadequate space at KU prevents a faculty recreation program.
Many Kansas high schools have better gymnasium facilities than does KU. The five public high schools in Wichita each have a swimming pool. None of the schools has more than 3,000 students.
"Ninety per cent of the universities in the United States require students to enroll in physical education courses. The University decided in 1936 not to require physical education.
