PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR MEN (5) It is obvious that one of the contributions which colleges and universities can make to the successful prosecution of the war is to bring their students to the highest possible level of physical fitness. In fact, consideration of this problem was started in January, 1941, at a meeting called for that purpose of presidents, faculty representatives, athletic directors, and directors of physical education of the universities in the Western Intercollegiate Conference. It was also a subject of discussion at the Baltimore Conference of College and University Presidents, held January 3-4, 1942. T h e University Senate submits the following recommendations for stepping up and otherwise improving the program of physical education for men: 1. That beginning J u n e I, 1942, all new undergraduate male students entering the University in their freshman and sophomore years be required to take a motor fitness test, to be given, if possible, before registration. Also that all male students enrolled in physical education classes be required to take the test each semester. 2. That all male students found to be deficient in this test be required to meet three times per week in a prescribed program, unless excused from this extra requirement by the Deans of their Colleges or Directors of their Schools. Men so excused will be treated as in paragraph 5 below. 3. That all male students who, after fulfilling the required credits in physical education, are still rated deficient in motor fitness, be required to continue such work for a maximum of two additional semesters without fnrther credit. 4. That beginning June 1, 1943, all new male students entering the University with junior credit be required to take the motor fitness test, and that those who fail it be required to take a maximum of two semesters of prescribed physical education. 5. T h a t for freshman and sophomore male students who pass the motor fitness test, the Department of Physical Education for Men be authorized to assign students to such classes as in the opinion of the Department will be most valuable to them in the present emergency. T h e Senate further recommends that this program be limited to the present emergency, subject to review after the war. I concur in these recommendations. T h e Director of the School of Physical Education estimates that thi-increased program will require an addition of $3,500 a year to his budget. O n m o t i o n of M r .

APPROPRIATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES D U R I N G SUMMER QUARTER (6) Because of the change in the instructional program calling for a twelveweek summer quarter instead of the eight-week summer session, additional expenses will be incurred by certain divisions of the University. While most of this added expense will be incurred in the year 1042-1043 and provision for it will be made in next year's budget, in certain instances expenses will be incurred during the current fiscal year and the departments concerned need additional appropriations to cover this. I, therefore, recommend that assignments be made from the General Reserve F u n d as follows:
