Wright
W plans to meet' with his 25
student advisers because he wants to
"make sure they're all following the
correct and common policy." .
While students should follow many
of the same scheduling procedures
they now follow, the new coursebooks
include a scheduling change for phys
ical education courses.
Sandy Herniman, University secre:
tary in the College of Health, Physi
cal Education and Recreation, said
the physical education department
will no longer internally handle the
scheduling of the second half of the
physical education credit.
Under the semester system, stu
dents will have the option of schedul
ing Physical Ethication 5, a 15-week
gym course for 1 credit, or two physi
cal education courses, Physical Edu
cation 6 and 7.
Physical Education 6 will meet for
the first seven and one half weeks and
Physical Education 7 will meet for
the second seven and one half weeks.
Each class is worth one half of a
credit.
"If students want to take two gym
courses, they must preregister for
Physical Education 6 and 7," Herni
man said. "Students can't register
for Physical Education 6 without reg
istering for Physical Educatiob 7."
The schedule number will differen
tiate among physical eduation
courses, such as Scuba Diving and
Ballroom Dance, under the 5, 6 and 7
course headings.

Small, relaxed crowd shares
a revival of Gentle Thursday
By CHRIS STAMBOULIS
Collegian Staff Writer
Balloon monsters floating in the wind, Frisbees
buzzing around, and people just relaxing in the sun
could be seen yesterday on the HUB lawn as they
celebrated a revival of Gentle Thursday.
In an effort to offer students a day to reflect on life,
Friends of Gentle Thursday revived the event to
emphasize the importance of sharing. However, yes
terday's event only attracted a small crowd.
John LaFemina, president of the group, attributed
yesterday's low turnout to the cool weather.' •
To entertain students, the Friends of Gentle Thurs
day provided balloons, bubbles and paint for coloring
faces.
Don Cameron (Bth-general arts and science) said he
attended the event on the HUB lawn because "it
sounded like a good time."
Jordan Waring (4th-liberal arts) said he likes the
idea of Gentle Thursday and thinks similar events
should be held more often.
"I think they should have something like this every
week because people don't do anything during the
week," Waring said.
Waring added that the event should include bands,
which would not only attract more people but make the
day more enjoyable.
However, LaFemina said: "Bands are the root of all
the problems." '
Gentle Thursday, an annual event in the past, was
canceled by the University in 1980 because University

students were apprehended for possession of alcohol
and illegal drugs and several high school students
skipped school ,to attend the event. It was designed to
be "a day of sharing" for the students.
However, Robert McNichol, University crime con
trol supervisor, said he had not heard of any problems
relating to yesterday's Gentle Thursday.
Students who attended yesterday's event had a
variety of reactions.
Rachel Ezekiel (2nd-administration of justice) said
"I came out because it's better than watching soap
operas."
Regarding the low turn out and the rejection of the
Friends of Gentle Thurslay as a registered student
organization, Ezekiel said, "It's so pical of how
apathetic the school is.. The whole shrnl is based on
football and frats."
Claire Shannon (10th-general agriculture) said, "I
came out today to meet people."
Shannon, who had attended the last official Gentle
Thursday, said, "There were a lot of people there and a
lot of sharing going around. ,People gave others coo
kies, for instance."
Both Ezekiel and Shannon said they believed the
University's cancellation of the event and its views of
the presence of alcohol were illogical. . ,
Shannon said whenever a lot of people get together,
alcohol will be present, adding, "its unavoidable."
"We need something like this or Movin' On in the
spring, because its spring and people have to get out,"
Ezekiel said.
