At A&M Consolidated Junior High Holecek Sets Up Excellent PE Program By STEVE KORENEK Lawrence Holecek, PE teacher and coach at A&M Consolidated Junior High School, has estab lished a daily physical education program which challenges the students. Holecek, 1105 Timm, College Station, earned his bachelor’s de gree in physical education at Tex as A&M in 1961 and his master’s in education, also at A&M, in 1964. The coach explained the state requires each school to have a planned program and it even sug gests a program. The program varies from school to school how ever and frequently the PE teach er also teaches other courses. Last year Holecek taught science. This year he teaches only physical education. Holecek stressed that the secret of a good PE program is organi zation. “Without organization none of your objectives will be met,” he said. The objectives Holecek set up when he started teaching are: Gy mnastic Team Enters AAU Meet The Texas A&M Gymnastic team will compete at the Gulf AAU Gymnastic meet this week end at Sam Houston State Col lege. The Aggie will enter eight events including the rings, par allel bars, side horse, high bar, free X, tumbling, vaulting and trampoline. One team member will compete in the all-around which means he will enter all the events except the trampoline. Three different awards will be given at the meet — individual, all-around and team basis. Med als will be given for the first six places in individual competition and trophies for the top all- around and top team. 1) To develop and maintain physical fitness. 2) To develop a sense of values and responsibilities. 3) To develop an interest in PE activities. Holecek has set up his program in such a manner as to achieve these objectives. The daily ex ercise helps accomplish the first objective. Each student has a uniform which he must take care of. This and the participation in team sports helps to accomplish the second objective. The third objective is met through the stu dent’s own desire and through teaching techniques. The coach explained that he teaches two types of sports. The first type is the athletic sports such as flag football and basket ball. The second type is the life time sports such as volleyball and softball. Interest in the life time sports is important because it can help a person maintain his physical fitness throughout his life. The grading periods at A&M Consolidated are six six-weeks units. Holecek teaches PE in six units also. He makes his units seasonal so that he can take ad vantage of the student’s natural interest. “Being as we’re a college town, they’re (the students) interested when it (the sport) rolls around,’ 1 ’ he explained. In the fall the first unit is flag football, next is volleyball, the third is basketball, the fourth is a classroom course, health, and soccer outside, the fifth is a mul tiple unit and the sixth is track and field and softball. Boston Captures NBA Crown Barker Advances As Rojas Loses AUSTIN (A 5 ) — Third seeded Luis Rojas of Texas A&M was upset in the second round of Southwest Conference tennis singles Thursday but other lead ers, Ted Gorski of Texas, seeded No. 1; Richard Barker, Texas A&M, No. 2, and John Pickens, Rice, No. 4, sailed through. Ed Turville of Rice, who was unseeded, eliminated Rojas 6-3, 8-6. The top doubles team of Ted Gorski and Leo LaBorde of Texas moved through the first round. Rojas and Barker who won the championship in 1964, took out Pickens and Turville 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 Wednesday. The 1965 singles champion Jim Parker of Rice has graduated. Pickens returns from the cham pionship doubles team. Parker BOSTON <A>) —- The Boston Celtics, regarded by many as the most fabulous team in major league sports history, captured their eighth straight National Basketball Association champion ship Thursday in defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 95-93 at the Garden. Responding to pressure and the cheers of a sellout crowd of 13,909, the Celtics gave retiring Coach Red Auerbach a title salute with another clutch performance in winning the deciding game of the best-of-7 championship series. The Celtics, riddled by a series of injuries and dethroned by Philadelphia after a nine-year reign as regular season Eastern division kings, capped a hard- fought playoff by winning their ninth NBA championship in 10 years. was the other member. Led by veteran Capt. Bill Rus sell, who will take over as player- coach as Auerbach moves into fulltime duty as general manager, the Celtics turned in a tremen dous defensive effort in stopping the Lakers’ high-powered attack. Don't just sit there, Wallace Middendorp. Make a noise. Or drink Sprite, the noisy soft drink. What did you do when Joe (Boxcar) Brkczpmluj was kicked off the football team just because he flunked six out of four of his majors? What did you do, Wallace Middendorp? And when the school newspaper's editors resigned in WALLACE MIDDENDORP SAT HERE protest because The Chancellor wouldn't allow the publication of certain salacious portions of "Night In a Girl's Dormitory" you just sat, didn't you? You've made a mockery of your life, Wallace Middendorp! You're a vegetable. Protest, Wallace Middendorp. Take a stand. Make a noise! Or drink Sprite, the noisy soft drink. Open a bottle of Sprite at the next campus speak-out. Let it fizz and bubble to the masses. Let its lusty carbonation echo through the halls of ivy. Let its tart, tingling exuberance infect the crowd with excitement. Do these things, Wallace Middendorp. Do these things, and what big corporation is going to hire you? SPRITE. TART AND TINGLING. WE JUST COULDN’T KEEP IT QUIET. The multiple unit is made up of wrestling, tumbling and weight training. For this unit the classes are broken down into groups by weight and height. Each group takes part in a different activity each day and the groups alter nate. Holecek follows the weight program developed by Emil Ma- maliga, weight coach at Texas A&M. “A&M has the best weight training program in the country.” Holecek has his program high ly organized, even the dressing room procedure is organized. “Youngsters want to have something organized for them. If you don’t have it highly orga nized you are going to lose them.” Holecek has no discipline prob lems in his classes; he attributes this to organization. Helping Holecek with his pro gram are four student teachers from Texas A&M. “They are outstanding, they contribute to my program from their resources. If a boy wants to become a good teacher he can definitely do so through the pro gram at Texas A&M,” Holecek said. Holecek explained when a new unit is taken up he tells the youngsters exactly what the ob jectives for that particular unit are. For example, in wrestling the objectives are: 1) To maintain physical fit ness. 2) To develop self-confidence. 3) To develop strength. “Each individual unit has its objectives which can in turn be put into the overall objectives,” Holecek said. Holecek said the junior high years are important years for physical fitness training because it is during this time the young sters start a growth spurt. Prop er training at this time enables the student to utilize this grow th to his advantage. The program director does not express the common complaint of PE teachers of lacking facilities. On the contrary, he praises the facilities at A&M Consolidated Junior High and said he has “plenty of space.” Even with a good program and good facilities a PE program cannot succeed if the students have no desire to participate, he said. This is not one of Holecek’s problems. The boy’s in his classes have plenty of desire. class he is teaching fundamentals rather than coaching. “None of our PE units tie into athletics,” he said. Each student receives a grade on the basis of skill tests, written tests on sport rules and situa tions, competition points, the stu dent’s attitude, participation and conduct. Holecek explained the basic difference in his athletic pro gram and his PE program is in Holecek doesn’t rely just on his college training to make up his PE program. He uses new ideas brought to him by his student teachers and last year he visited the Beaumont School System where he picked up some new teaching techniques and ideas.
