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. " Ellis
said
