WHO IS THIS MAN?
Is he really wearing- a belted blouse, and a senior ring, and cross-stitching, and no rank,
and A.M.U. brass? Is he really in the Corps? (Photo by Mike Wright)

Noontime Sessions Used
Physical Fitness Aim Of P.E. Dept.
Heart trouble, circulatory prob
lems, backaches, assorted strains
and sprains 1 and obesity are being
attacked through a Health and
Physical Education Department
program at Texas A&M.
Designed for faculty-staff mem
bers who feel they may not be
as physically fit as possible, the
department’s physical fitness pro
gram employs exercise sessions
under the direction of doctorate
degreed health specialists on the
department faculty headed by Dr.
Carl W. Landiss.
Participants meet twice or three
times a week in groups super
vised by Dr. Charles Corbin and
Dr. John Chevrette. Noontime ses
sions devoted to continuous rhyth
mic endurance work and a brief
period on volleyball, basketball or
badminton courts vary from 35
to 55 minutes in length.
Exercise is planned and directed
to strengthen heart muscles, re
duce weight, firm up muscles and
improve body flexibility, explained
Corbin. Participants may special
ize within the framework for a
particular shortcoming revealed
in five-phase tests administered
to all participants before exercise
starts.
“This is not a play period,’’ Cor
bin emphasized. “Regular organ
ized exercise is given and the in
dividual is fitted into the program
according to his needs. No one is
asked or directed to do something
of which he doesn’t feel capable.”
Fifteen participants in the two-
week old program include men
and women faculty-staff members
from 20 to 50 years of age. Lab
technicians, student service per
sonnel and faculty members in
education, agriculture and other
departments are involved.
“We'll enroll anyone, regardless
of age, and adapt the program to
their needs,” Corbin added.
A physical examination by a
medical physician is suggested,
but not required. An $8 fee pro
vides a locker, towel, shorts, shirt,
socks, and all necessary equip
ment except shoes.
“A five-phase testing program
to determine the participant’s fit
ness comes first,” the assistant
professor of health and physical
education said.
Tests include cardiovascular,
dynamometer, body flexibility, fat
and reaction measurements. The
first four test areas determine really does something to help re-
