La Porte warns against PE cuts
All students who have not been attending physical fitness regularly should see Professor William R. LaPorte, head of the department of physical education, and have their records adjusted. Failure to do this will result in dismissal from the university, stated LaPorte.
“Many students don’t seem to understand the physical education requirements of the university,” said Professor LaPorte. “We are running our program by agreement
with the war department and it is a resident requirement that all male students take at least one hour of physical fitness a day.
“Our program, in accordance with the war department, is run on the theory that the civilian students receive most of the physical training that they would ordinarily get in an army camp,” he emphasized.
Some students have signed up for the course but have never attended; others attend only part of the time. Unless an adjustment is made immediately all other classes in which these students are enrolled will be cancelled, according to Professor LaPorte.
