Aims To Build
Healthy Coeds
Dr. Bell Emphasizes Demand
For Strong, Agile Students
To Assume Responsibilities
Physical education for women this
year will be adapted to the individu-
al's needs and aptitudes with greatest
emphasis placed on increasing the
individual's endurance, agility and
strength for her part in the war ef-
fort.
At least five million women are
needed to replace men in all indus-
tries. In the Detroit area alone some
80,000 women will be needed in fac-
tories by November. "Clearly then if
women are to replace men, they must
be healthy and have a reservoir of
endurance that will compensate for
the difference in strength," Dr. Mar-
garet Bell, :director of the Woman's
Physical Education depatment, said.
Dr. Bell continued, "Health and
vigor are reflected in the morale of
the worker; confidence in her abilty
to perform new tasks will be directly
in proportion to the way she feels."
Needs Considered
To provide a department that will
help the Michigan coed have a heal-
thy and attractive appearance the
Physical Education department will
probably be expanded to meet the
student's individual and war time
needs. -
When the student enters the Uni-
versity there is an effort made to ap-
praise her needs along many varied
lines. First of all is considered the
student's interest in the sports. A
wide choice of elections makes this
possible and the fact that the school
year is divided into four sections
gives her an opportunity to take ad-
vantage of more of these opportuni-
ties.
Needs of the freshman come to
light, first through the extent of her
previous training, and second,
through the compulsory physical ex-
amination taken by all entering stu-
dents and the doctors' recommenda-
tions upon the basis of the results of
this examination.
Sports Are Appraised
Next, the sports themselves are ap-
praised technically to test their ef-
fectiveness in offering college exper-
ience valuable in the physical field,
in connection with health, and in the
psychological field, along the lines of
emotional and social training. This
is vital to the development of a well-
rounded personality. In keeping with
this and with the trend in modern
athletics, mixed classes have been or-
ganized in such sports as tennis,
bowling, badminton, tap and modern
dance.
The total four years' training in
the -department is lined up on the
student's record, to give an idea of
the extent of the development of ini-
tiative in the student toward varied
types of sports. Alumnae surveys
conducted at intervals have proved
the value of this extension of initia-
tive along many lines.
Division of the departmental pro-
gram has been planned to give as
much leeway as possible to the stu-
dents to develop their initiative and
broaden their participation program.
Fulfills Requirement
First is a group of courses offered
the student in the fulfillment of the
physical education requirement.
Apart from this study is one of the
most concentrated and recognized
teaching training programs in the
nation's schools, which is given in
conjunction with the School of Edu-
cation, and which offers more spe-
cialized teaching.
Recreational facilities for the stu-
dent are comprehensive.
First are the intramural competi-

tions. Since women's athletics are
confined largely to the campus, tour-
naments in team sports are conduc-
ted among the various sororities, dor-
rnitories and League houses. Aside
ftrom these are the tourneys in indi-
vdual sports.
The Women's Athletic AssociationI
program is developed along widely
divergent lines within the realms of
sports. Besides the club element,
whch served to bring together stu-
dents with the same interests, the
WAA fosters individual practice in
perfecting ability in different games
through the facilities for coaching
and competition which it offers. As
much as possible, faculty members in
the department devote time to the
club groups.
Exhibitions Planned
Exhibitions and demonstrations of
various sports to the club as a whole
widen the scope of gains which a stu-
dent receives from the club's pro-
gram.
Besides the intra-mural aspect of
the physical education program as a
whole there are carried on a number
of extra-mural competitions. Play
days, tournaments of various sorts
and meets are features of this side of
the department's plans. Women com-
pete in three-way tournaments with
others from Michigan State and the
normal college in Ypsilanti.
In addition to these are the tele-
graphic tournaments conducted with
college and university students
throughout the country, in rifle, ar-
chery, bowling and swimming.
. Physical Check Provided
By way of extending oppgrtunities
offered entering students for having
their health thoroughly checked, Dr.
Bell has announced that, as has been
the case in previous years, upper-
classmen will be given the benefit of
a physical check before graduation.
It has not generally been the case
that the medical examination given
entering students is repeated yearly
for students who have a high health
rating, because the original one is a
thorough one, Dr. Bell explained, but
every student known to have a phys-
ical defect or intercurrent illness is
rechecked before participation is be-
gun in an activity. In this way more
than 80 per cent of the students re-
ceive one or more extra examinations
before their senior year.
Duplicate records of a student's
health status are kept at Barbour
Gymnasium in order that the physi-
cal education staff may have ready
access to all necessary information
concerning the students under their
supervision.'
Through the use of all these varied
methods of check and through the
almost individual coacling it offers,
the department is enabled to project
its program to the best interests of
each student.

Wcman's Athletic Building, Palmer

Open to students and their dates
are the tennis courts, putting greens

recreation is enjoyable as well as
healthful the department has estab-
lished a policy encouraging co-ed,

Activities Center in W. A. B.
On Palmer Field are to be found 12
tennis courts, three hockey fields,

and a golf practice set-up.-
Many of the indoor activities cen-
ter in the Women's Athletics Build-

arrangements.
Gymwasium Faclities
Within Barbour Gymnasium, on
North University, are the gymnasium
floor' which is used for many team
and individual sports, the Sarah Cas-
well Angell dance studio, the remed-
ial gymnastics room and the small
swimming pool which is used by be-
ginning classes. Intermediate and
advanced classes meet at the Union
pool, as does the Swimming Club.
Golf is carried on at the University
Golf Course, with practice groups
meeting on Palmer Field. The local
riding stables provide facilities for
riders; clubs in hiking and woodcraft
tramp the wooded area about the
city; canoeing is cohducted on the
Huron River and skating and winter

While it is hoped that this proced-
