Activities classes thrive despite cuts University News Bureau Even though it now costs an extra $20, 3,300 college students have included physical education classes "in their schedules this fall The Oregon Legislature decided to eliminate state fund ing for physical education ac tivity classes in 1981, one in a series of cuts that Oregon's colleges and universities have experienced during the past three years The University Assembly re sponded to the cuts by elimin ating the requirement that students must take five credit hours of physical activities classes in order to graduate, effective this fall. That move gives the Department of Phys ical Education greater flexibility in offering classes that appeal to students and to charge accord ingly for those classes. Even without the require ments and with the added cost, 2,700 students registered for general physical activity classes and 600 for dance classes, according to Michael Ellis, head of the physical education department. Personal conditioning and aerobics classes are the most popular this fall "People are willing to invest in their own well being," said Ellis A total of 153 physical activity classes and 19 dance classes are filled for the term, about the number the department had originally budgeted "We dropped four or five sections and added a few," Ellis said As a result of the strong student interest, the 26 graduate teaching fellows who teach the classes have had their appointments upgraded from 145 full-time equivalency to .29 FTE, which is a regular GTF load. In addition, the depart ment no longer faces the pos sibility of laying off any regular faculty who have such courses among their responsibilities, El lis said Last spring, when PE courses were still covered by the regular tuition charge but students had been informed that the graduation requirement had been lifted, 4.300 students enrolled in P E. classes Univer sity enrollment is about 15.500 this year We have students who are happy and telling us, ‘At iast I can get into racquetball at the time I wanted to take it.
