Conger Awarded

Physical Education Group Also
Honors E. C. Davis; Slate's
I. M. Program Praised
At the annual National Physical'
Educational Association conference,
Ray Conger was elected national sec
retary of recreation for that group.
Dr. Elwood C. Davis was elected to
the executive board for a period of
five years.
Intramural activities at Penn State
were commented upon favorably by
the Association. The elective system.
of physical education was given much)
publicity by that group, as the one in'
use here is vastly different than those!
employed by other colleges.
Many of the colleges having elec.'
tive activities allowed students who
had need of physical education to be
excused from them entirely. Other
schools went to the opposite extreme,
excusing none. The system here is a
compromise of the two.
Reorganized by Executive Council
A reorganization of the whole Asso
ciation was accomplished by the ex
ecutive council, of which Dr. Davis
was a member, during the last con
vention. The purpose of thy shake
up was ta make the association more
efficient and of greater service to the
members as a whole.
Realizing that with 8,300 members,
close contact with the executive heads
was impossible, the executive council
devised and formulated a plan to div
ide the organization into. many sub
comMittees. !These committees would
represent the many districts, states,
"and institutions. In this way the in
dividual would be able to present his
theories and ideas to a district com
mittee which in turn would pass it up
the line.
Take Orders Monday
Senior invitations and announce
ments will be on sale at the Student
Union desk starting Monday, accord
