Women s PE Program *
Stresses Body Fitness
By ANNE CRAVEN
Emphasis in the University of Oregon’s physical education
program for women has shifted, from one of training for bet
ter use of leisure time to one of body building and keeping fit,
Miss Helen Petroskey, assistant professor of physical educa
tions said Thursday.
“Previous to the present war emergency, the physical edu
cation program was designed primarily as a recreational pro
gram,” she stated. “Leisure time
had become a problem and we felt
that it was essential to give girls
the necessary skills to cope with
the leisure time problem in a
wholesome, stimulating, and vig
orous way.”
The wrar has made physical fit
ness and not leisure time the
main problem that the physical
education department has to work
out, Miss Petroskey said.
Many Girls Weak
“Many college girls are pretty
weak and have little endurance,”
she continued. “They don’t know
how to relax, or the first ele
ments of body mechanics, or how'
to lift and carry things efficient
ly. Most of them don’t even know
how to walk properly.”
In order to correct these de
fects, the University coed is re
quired to take one term of body
building or conditioning, must
learn to swim, and engage in a
vigorous team sport.
“We are insisting on a team
sport because we feel it is neces
sary and important tfeat women
learn to play and work together
as a group.” Many of the less
vigorous individual sports have
been eliminated such as archery,
bowling, riflery. This is not be
cause these sports are not use
ful, but because there is no long
er room for them in the physical
education program under the
present emphasis.
Never Keturn to Old
Miss Petroskey felt that the
physical education program will
never go back to the old way—
purely recreational emphasis.
"Because,” she said, “people
are generally of the belief that
any civilization can preserve it
self only by keeping fit. History
has proved that civilizations that
have fallen ill as a result of dis
ease or idle living have disap
peared.”
Experiments
At the present time, members
of the physical education staff at
the University are engaged in ex
perimental work leading toward
establishment of physical fitness
standards. These standards will
determine whether a girl is fit
or not and just how much body
building and conditioning she will
need to become physically fit.
This is being done by testing
representative group of physical
education students as to their
skills, abilities, and endurance.
In line with this policy, the
physical education majors—fu
ture high school physical educa
tion teachers are receiving train
ing which emphasizes gymnas
tics, exercises, apparatus and
tumbling.
Econ Problem
Eyed Sunday
Speakers at Westminster house
Sunday night will be Jack Mc
Climent and A1 Larsen who will
speak on the debatable questia
question “Should Competitive En
terprise Be Reestablished after
the War?”
The meeting will start at 6:30.
Both speakers will be allowed ten
minutes for the opening presen
tations. After the exchange two
questions from each of the panel
members, the topic will be opened
to group discussion.
The timeliness of this subject
was emphasized by the discussion
last Sunday at Westminster
house on the subject, “The Trans
formation to a Peace Economy”
led by Esther Quier, Jim Thayer,
and Jack Caldwell, members of
the University symposium team.
