LITTLE OPPORTUNITYFOR EXTRA ACTlvmESThe Incomplete S.udent ;EditorialPhysical Education Urged .During the past three years the San Diego EveningCollege has functioned as a separate college within theframework of the San Diego Junior Colleges. Most facilitieson the City and Mesa campuses are shared by the EveningCollege. Many faculty members teach evening aswell as day classes.The curriculum is identical with the day college butfor one big exception. The San Diego Evening College hasno physical education program and is not planning one- forthe future. Combined with this fact is the total absenceof any form of school sports activities program.California law requires all students under the age of21 to participate in a physical education program. Sincethe average Evening College students are over this age, forthem a P.E. program requirement is not needed. However,if credit is desired for such a course, the student must enrollin the day class, thereby reclassifying him as a daystudent.This does not infer that students over 21 and in theEvening College can not engage in some activity or sport,although he may be unable to attend day school. The futureoutlook seems very dim, for no plans are being madefor us "oldsters."The day school offers classes in gymnastics, golf,handball, tennis, etc. Facilities are available for almostany type of sport, and yet the- doors are closed to the eveningstudent. For those desiring some sort of sports orphysical activities this is a disheartening situation. Withouta doubt, if those doors were to be opened a waiting listwould be required to accommodate the surge of physicaleducation conscious students.There is an alternative, however, and that is to forma sports club or intra-college leagues. Utilizing existingfacilities it would be possible to organize several basketballteams. By making the games open to spectators,spirited competition and lively games could result. Perhapsa series of elimination games could be planned, oneeach week in the gymnasium. This will enliven the school"espirit de corps." It would lend excitement to an otherwisefully academic college life.For those who prefer indoor track or gymnasticevents, the gymnasium boasts of the latest and most modernequipment available. Gym clubs can easily be formedfrom a student body of nearly 8,000 here at San DiegoEvening College-. Prospective applicants are numerous, ifa random sampling can be considered a fair estimate. Hereagain, intra-college competition can be encouraged, creatingan atmosphere conducive to collegiate pride.If these sports are too active or overly stimulating,there are others that provide just as much, if not more, incentive.Bowling is an ideal activity. A bowling leaguewould fit in very well after classes.Golf is another example of an activity easily organizedand enjoyed by many. Saturday or Sunday findslarge numbers of students on the golf course, merrily fightingtheir way out of one sand trap only to end in another!Certainly this enjoyment is greater when shared with fellowstudents in friendly competition. Even if a studentdid not know the game, his reluctance would be overcomewhen he realized how really easy it is to learn and enjoyAgain, with school backing, reasonable rates from rentalsto instruction for groups can readily and easily be obtainedWho's to take the next step? The birthplace of modiern science, ancient Greece, also fathered calisthenics Ahealthy mind and a healthy body are the keystones to happiness.San Diego Evening College will become a completecollege when this objective can be realized.&THE KNIGHT OWLOpinion Po/jBig 'Aye'ProposalIt may take a student fromthree to five years to complete acourse of study toward an A.Adegreeby attending Evening Collegeevery semester. By going tocollege during the day, the samecourses can be completed in twoyears.The KNIGHT OWL, in its Marchissue, presented a plan, suggestedby Dr. Arthur Jensen, assistant directorof Evening College, proposing2-hour classes per evening.This would enable EC students tocomplete their studies sooner thanthe maximum five years.What were the reactions to Dr.Jensen's idea? The OPINIONPOLL asked five students and oneinstructor if they felt the plan wasa good one, and if they thought itmight work.Wainscott BaileyJan is Bailey: "I feel that a planthat would enable students to attendtwo classes a night at EveningCollege is a good one. Theplan sounds like a good one to meand I think it will be a real success."Wester \ PhillipsRonald Wainsoott: "Dr. Jensen'splan will be a very fine one if astudent is able to keep up withthe necessary additional studiesI believe that some realistic creditlimitations per semester are necessaryand should be maintained.However, if a student is allowedto take up to twelve units per semester,and if he can maintaingood grades, then this plan shouldwork well"A£rill2, l96|Voiced for Dr. Jensento Accelerate StudiesCheri Wester: "I think this isa very good plan because it willenable most of the working peopleto take more units in the eveningafter they finish work. Theplan would make it easier on thepeople that work, since they willbe able to take more units eachsemester and can earn their degreein a much shorter time."Jimmy Phillips: "I think this isan excellent suggestion, and itshould help many people. I am inthe Navy, and this plan will enableme to gain more creditsmuch faster. Also, Dr. Jensen'sproposal will enable students totake several related courses and inthis way obtain a more enlighteningbackground of a subject inone semester's time.
