/TI SI TAHW why it is only writing upside down and back
ward. This is part of a course in research technique which is
offered by the College of Physical Education and Athletics.
New Athletic Skill
PhysEd Conquers
Backward Writing
The assignment was to practice writing upside down and
backwards every day for five days.
This is not a new type penmanship course. It is more on
the order of one of the less ac
tion. It is a course in research
graduate students in the College
of Physical Education and Atti-1
This semester they performed a
motor-learning experiment, made
a survey and investigated other
research problems to become
more familiar with the methods
and techniques of research.
What connection does writing
upside down and backwards
have to do with research? The
students were atempting over
a short period of time, to mas
ter a motor skill previously un
familiar to them.
Since the teaching of motor
skills is one of the important parts
of any physical education pro
gram, they wanted to gain a bet
ter understanding of how people
learn these skills.
One student, unacquainted with
the touch system of typing, tried
to see how much she could learn
in five days. After a total of less
than I'/e hours of practice, divided
over 10-minute periods, she was
able to type 28 words a minute,
mistakes included.
Some people who couldn't

ive courses in physical educa
technique which is offered to
juggle undertook that feat. One
of the jugglers made much
greater progress than another
who had practiced the same
amount of time.
Everything done in this course
is related to physical education.
A typical problem of interest to
all was— should entering fresh
men be given a pre-classification
test in physical education.
Joan Nessler, graduate student
in physical education from Ce
darhurst, N.Y., gave 30 freshman
woman volunteers a classification
—a shuttle run, a vertical jump
and pull up. Each of these mea
test consisting in a 3-item battery
sured a different aspect of phys
ical fitness.

Jr. Panhel
To Investigate
Informal Rush
By MEG TEICHLOLTZ
Th e Junior Panhellenic
Council set the wheels spin
ning last night on an investi
gation of informal rushing
procedures on other campuses
similar in size to the sorority
representation at the Uni
versity.
The investigation will be car
ried out in three main phases.
The first will consist Jf research
to determine rushing policies at
other schools and that of the Na
tional Panhellenic Council. Com
putation of these findings will fol
low, with the council's recom
mendations to senior panhel con
cluding the study.
Although a new pledge class
will be sitting on the council by
late February, the present group
plans to continue its investiga
tion for as long as the results may
take to compile.
"This group, having rushed in
formally is particularly qualified
to undertake such a study," Bar
bara Strauss, junior in liberal arts
from Mt. Vernon, N.Y., and senior
• panhel advisor to the group, said.
In other business the council
discussed plans for a tea to wel
come the next Junior Panhellenic
Council into office. It was decided
that some sort of a briefing ses
sion would be necessary, but no
definite plans were made.
A motion was made to intro
duce formal parliamentary pro
cedure to the previously informal
meetings and was passed unani
mously.
The Department of Security is
the subject of an article titled,
"Can You Top Penn State?" in the
January, 1960, issue of Safety
Magazine, a magazine published
by the National Safety Council,
primarily for teachers and admin
istrators.

Assembly—
(continued from page one)
stead of the SGA Vice President.
After almost an hour's debate,
Assembly concluded that as an
interim body it could take no
action on moves requiring con
stitutional amendments. (At
that time, only about half of
the present 46 members had
been elected. The rest look of
fice this November.)
I On the issue of class advisory
boards Assembly defeated a bill
last week which would have es
tablished them as entities within
the SGA and set up a uniform
method for choosing them. The
bill would also have allowed each
class president to create any oth
er offices he needed.
Last spring Assembly loaned a
committee of the Freshman Ad—
visory Board $4OOO to set up a;
Student Check Cashing Agency.'
The agency was in operation by,
this fall a few weeks after classes
began.
A charter flight to Europe this
summer is the most recent Assem
bly action. Last week it was de
cided to sponsor a roundtrip flight
for students, faculty members and
members of their immediate fam
ilies at a cost of about $285 per
person.
