If Matty Bell’s machine can duplicate this fete the Ags will rate as the premier team of the South. During the past few years, many changes have taken place in our Physical Education department, par ticularly in the freshmen classes. It seems that nearly everything has : been improved, the courses having i been changed as well as the facil ities for accommodating more men. No longer do the freshmen have to dress for their classes in the stands of the gym or in their rooms as in the days of old, for now each stu dent has access to a private locker, this alone being a great improve ment over the former conditions. No longer do the freshmen have to at tend their following classes in sweaty clothes, now sufficient time is allowed for the men to take a shower before the hour is past. Un der the present system, the classes do not have to learn boresome folk dances on account of having nothing better to do. The men of the class of ’30 can well remember that this was what happened in their case. Now, instead of dreading their Physical Education classes, as a great number of men did before the above changes were made,, this freshmen class can look forward to an interesting course offered under convenient circumstances from which they will derive several benefits. Approximately 900 men will start their work this week under the su pervision of W. L. Penberthy, Direc tor of Physical Education. This year 13 students taking courses in the Physical Education Department will assist the regular staff as student A Huge Assortment of PIPES With a Variety of 20 Brands of Pipe Tobacco. FIRE UP, GANG! CASEY’S CONFECTIONERY IN THE “Y’ instructors. Having studied and worked in Mr. Penberthy’s classes for the past two years, these men will be capable instructors and in cidentally will receive valuable train ing which will train them for future high school Physical Education in structors. A recent state law re quires that these courses be offered so these men will be fitted for these positions. The Fish have been di vided into 35 classes, each class hav ing a student instructor. As in the past, each student will be allowed to make his own choice of one of the seven following sports: speedball, volley ball, basketball, cross-country, boxing and wrestling. At a meeting of the Faculty last spring, it was voted to allow grade points in the required Physical Edu cation courses, two grade points are given for an A, and one for a B. It is hoped that this plan will cause the students to take an increased interest in this vital program. Many students, as well as grown men, do not realize the importance of devot ing some of their time to the de velopment of their physical being, and when they do, they do not al ways go about it in the right man ner. In addition to the varsity gym, the new intramural building, con taining five hand ball, one basket ball and two volley ball courts, will be used to conduct part of the SUPERNAL -PENCILS—SETS SETS—LEADS N outstanding expression of the college mode in writing equipment is this new Conk lin Endura Supernal Pearl and Black pen; Priced at $6 and $8.
