Reserve Dr. Leighton TellsProgress Of Mass PE Men students at the University are well aware of the urgent need to be physically in “good shape” because of the present war sit uation, according to Dr. Ralph W. Leighton, dean of the school of physical education. Not including students engaged in varsity sports, football and basketball, 1047 men are enrolled in the various classes offered by the school of physical education, Leighton said last week. Athletic classes are divided into five sections, namely track and field, swimming, combatives, team sports and apparatus. In division one, track and field, 200 men are registered. Division two, which includes boxing, wres tling and judo, 217 men are re ceiving instruction. Swimming, division three, is training 180 men and 311 are partaking in team Sports, including basketball (not varsity), touch football and soc cer. In the weight lifting, tum bling and apparatus division, 139 students are working out three times weekly. Plans are being formulated for the construction of an obstacle course, which would be a testing ground for students at the com pletion of their class training, Dr. Leighton added. Built to army specifications, the course would provide both faculty and student with valuable information con cerning his true athletic ability. President Erb Addresses IFC Dr. Donald M. Erb, University president, addressed members of the interfraternity council Tues day evening at the Alpha Tan Omega house regarding problems and functions of the campus fra ternities. President Erb spoke of a new house scholarship system which is being worked out by the coun cil. Also a coordination of frater nity social activities with the war effort, and a community pro gram of the campus fraternities to pitch in and do everything they can to help win the war, was commented on by President Erb. Specific problems brought up at the meeting by Dr. Erb were the appropriation of a sum of money to buy a new intramural trophy which has been lost, and the elimination of red tape con cerning the transfer of intramu ral trophies from one house man tel to another. This will be done by the de fending house handing the tro phy in question to the council it self, which in turn will give it to the new champions of the re spective sport that the house is engaged in, thus eliminating the slow process which was preva lent in previous years when one house had the responsibility of giving the trophy to the new champions. Another point that came up in the meeting was the apportion ment of high school students to the various fraternitity houses that come to the University each year to attend the press confer MARY MERCIER . . . . . .
