—PROGRAM—
(Continued from page 1)
the number of semesters a student
has been taking the course. Under
the submitted plan, a student will
undergo training the nature of
which will be determined by his
past record and length of time in
the physical education program.
According, to the planned program,
conditioning will be emphasized
during the first two semesters a
student is on the campus. This
will include principally running,
calisthentics, different testing ac
tivities and swimming instruction
for those who are unable to meet
specified requirements in this de
partment. During his third semes
ter a student will follow much the
same procedure as his first year
program with running at least once
a week and twice weekly for those
who have not yet mastered the
cross country course. Those who
run the course in excellent time
on their first attempt will receive
sports instruction in their remain
ing two periods. Those students
who are at least in their fourth
semester of physical education
training will receive advanced in
struction in basketball, volleyball,
boxing and wrestling, swimming,
tennis, gymnastics and tumbling,
handball and maybe badminton.
They will not be required to run
the cross country course, as they
will receive this advanced training
in all of their physical education
periods. All students will meet
their physical education classes
only three times a week next se
mester under the planned program.
The physical education depart-

ment is changing to this new pro
gram because of the present war
time conditions. It has always been
the prime- objective of the depart
ment to keep as many boys on the
campus in the best condition pos
sible. Thereby they would be best
fitted for military duty when called
to the service. The majority of the
students bn the campus are fresh
men and most of them will be able
to complete only two or three se
mesters here before being called,
therefore they are having to under
go the most strenuous training that
they might be better prepared for
the rigors of military life. Those
who are sophomores are in much
the same military situation as the
freshmen, thus they must follow
nearly the same physical training
procedure. Those in their fourth
or fifth semester are either de
ferred, 4-F, or discharged and are
in no immediate danger of being
called to the colors. Thus they hre
able to take the less strenuous,
more advanced skilled training.
Out of the 1830 expected to en
roll next semester, 1510 are fresh
men, 136 sophomores, 111 juniors,
65 seniors and 73 five year stu
dents. Under the planned program
all the freshmen would receive
strenuous conditioning work for at
least two or more semesters be
fore they are called to the service.
At the present the physical edu
cation program for the remainder
of the semester will be modified
somewhat. All first semester stu
dents will run the cross country
twice each week as usual. All sec
ond and third semester students
will run the cross country once, if
excellent, and twice otherwise. All
students of fourth semester physi
cal education, or more, who run
cross country in “excellent” the
majority of times this semester, or
who can run excellent three con
secutive times, will play sports
three times each week. The re-

loss of contents may be prevented
if fiberboard boxes are wrapped in
heavy paper.
“We were unable to deliver many
parcels which families and friends
sent to men and women overseas
last year because they were crush
ed in transit and the gift and the
outside wrapper because separated.
We would have been able to make
delivery if the address had been
shown inside the package. We ad
vise that everyone write the ad
dress of the sender and address in
side the package as well as out
side.
“Christmas gifts mean much to
our people overseas. Because.strong
twine, heavy paper and boxes and
fiberboard will prove of real
help in making delivery of gifts
possible I urge those at home to
begin saving these materials now.
As time goes on they are going
to become even more scarce than
they are now.”
“Among the more important
rules for Christmas mailings to
the armed forces overseas are the
following.
The parcel must not exceed five
nounds, and must not be more
than 15 inches in length or 36
inches in length and girth com
bined. It should be marked “Christ
mas parcel” so that it may be given
special attention to assure its ar
rival before December 25.
Not more than one parcel may
be mailed in any one week to the
same member of the armed forces
by or in behalf of the same mailer.
When combination packages are
made up of such items as miscel
laneous toilet articles, hard cand
ies, soaps, etc. the contents should
be tightly packed so that they will
not become loosened in transit and
damage the contents or the cover.
Hard candies, nuts, caramels, (in
cluding those covered with choco
late), cookies, fruit cake, and choc
olate bars individually wrapped in
waxed paper should be enclosed in
inner boxes of wood, metal, or
cardboard.
Perishable goods, such as fruits
and vegetables that may spoil, are
prohibited. Intoxicants, inflamma
ble materials such as matches or
lighter fluids, poisons, and anything
that may damage other mail also
are prohibited. Gifts enclosed in
glass should be substantially pack
ed to avoid breakage. Sharp in
struments, such as razors and
knives must have their edges and
points protected so that they can
not cut through the coverings and
injure postal personnel or damage
other packages.
Relatives and friends who know
that the personnel in the armed
services to whom they plan to send
gifts are at far distent points
should begin to mail their packages
on the opening day—September 15
—of the mailing period. Last year
late mailing period, threatened to
defeat the program. It is stressed
that success can be assured, with
the limited personnel and facilities
available, only if the public gives
full cooperation through prompt
mailings of the overseas gift par
cels from the opening of the mail
ing period.

Quality Control
Course To Be Given
Announcement has been made
by V. M. Faires, Head of the De
partment of Management Engi
neering, that a special course in
Statistical Methods of Quality Con
trol will be offered here from Octo
ber 25 to November 2. This course
is for supervisors and executives
and is intended to maintain qual
ity in production through the ap
plication of statistics to inspection
problems.
Assistance to Faires will be
given by Dr. E. G. Olds and Paul
Peach, both of whom are with the
War Production Board in Wash
ington, D. C., and specialists in
this field. “This is a new tool for
managers so that they can tell
how things are going,” said Faires.
Statistical control is not a tem
porary war-emergency develop
ment but a new scientific approach
which already has been applied
to a wide variety of products. It
is used to standardize products,
personnel and machine perfor
mance, and inspection methods,
and this method may be applied
to design, specifications, and
standards of performance.
