mmmmssmm Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, December 1, 1965 THE BATTALION Adapted Physical Education Helps Injured, Handicapped Aggie Basketball Roster Everyone at A&M is required to take two years of physical education. But what happens if you are taking the required P.E. and break a leg or sprain your knee or if you come to A&M with some physical limitation? You won’t be left out; you will be assigned to A&M’s adapted program under Emil Mamaliga. The program is designed to pro vide the student with sufficient information about his limitation or injury to enable him to work around it and to further enable him to place it in its proper per spective. In addition, the pro gram is designed to arm the student with a knowledge of how to treat himself and properly carry out a rehabilitation pro gram. At the present time over 120 Aggies are enrolled in the pro gram. All have been certified by the university hospital to be eligible for the course. The stu dent’s personal doctor, the uni versity hospital and Mamaliga work closely together to insure the proper program for the indi vidual. Each student is provided with a program specifically de signed to meet his individual needs. If practical, the program is de signed to incorporate a minimal number of machine exercises. This is to facilitate a continuation of the program in conditions where the equipment may not be available. Mamaliga has, on occasion, been called upon to provide in struction for students not taking physical education, and occasion ally persons from local communi ties are sent to him by their family doctors. Like any other P.E. course, adapted classes meet twice a week, but, as Mamaliga pointed out, a great many of the adapted students spend some of their off hours working in this program. At the end of each semester a review of the adapted students is made to determine if they are prepared to enter any of the 17 other activities offered by the De partment of Health and Physical Education. If they are capable, the students are returned to these activities. If not, they remain in the adapted program. Adapted is not a “grade-point” course. The students work hard and, in most cases, make substan tial advancement in understand ing and combating their limita tion. No. Player Pos. Ht. Wt.

Some look for it in stocks and bonds, and some in real estate, some in a lovely home and a thriv ing business. Some seek the same things in friends who will weather the storms of adversity and some even seek security in escapes from reahty. I tried many of these avenues but failed to find one that really was a thoroughfare to security. True security is not found in material things. Unless the soul is secure, life and possessions are built on sand which can shift at any time. The greatest need in life is security of the soul. How glad I am that although I thought I was secure in my posses sions, my family, and my home, I have learned to be secure in Christ, the rock of the soul. Since I have come to know Christ as my Savior from sin, my soul is at peace with God. In this I have the basic security of life.
