HOMECOMI G AT CAMP BRO JU The response to our plan for Home- comino· at amp Brosius thi ummer has been truly gratifying. We have al- ready received re ervation from ome of our alums. We are glad to be abl to announce at thi time the plan which have been heartily approved by the ni- versity administration.
Homecoming will officially begin on Friday, August 12th at noon, with luncheon served at the first meal. Mon- day mornino· breakfast will be the clos- ing meal for the Homecoming on Augu t 15th. We are also very happy that OLU'
earlier e timate of expenses will remain the same. The charge will be $5 per person per day for room and all meal , making the total cost of the Homecom- ing for one per on 15.00. Children under IO will be half price or 2.50 a day.
Since the hotel is running at capacity at that time it will be impossible to upply linens so that it will be nece sary for you to bring your own linen and blankets. Hotel reservations are S7 a day for room and meal . In case a1iy of you would hke to stay at the hotel rather than in the camp proper, it is suggested that you write imm diately for reservations. Addres Mr. George Heighway, Indiana Foundation, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.
We feel that by making u e of all the facilities if neces ary w will be able to house everyone in the camp who wants to stay there. We plan to u e all the cabins first, but the infirmary, Stecher Hut and other buildings will 1 nd thern- selve nicely to dormitory facilities if need be. We do not intend to hous any- one in town or at other hotel . All facilities will be given out on a first com first served basis.
The program of activities will be planned at the opening of Homecoming when all the Alums meet together. What will you have? amp fire , stunt night, track or swimming meet , canoe tilting, hikes or ju t a kaffee klatsch? "Was willst du haben oder was wiinschen ie?"
The cook will be provided, but at the prices a ked it will be nece ary for ach alum. to tand K.P. Since th re will be ju t 9 m als erved, this ·hould not prove to be too great a hardship on anyone.
We are askin · for a 5 depo it for each single reservation and ·10 depo it for each family reservation. This money will not be returnable for cane llation after July 1st.
It will be greatly appreciated if all of you who plan to attend will fill out the re ervation blank and mail it with your check to the college office, 415 E.
Michigan St., Indianapolis, Ind. hould you have any questions concerning thi Homecoming, feel free to Wl'ite to your editor who will reply promptly.
Take advantage of this oppo1·tunity and plan now to attend.

There has been a gap of about 12 years since we last saw one another, but Frank and I are still very much inter- ested in student and new of ormal College. We are hoping to be at amp Brosius for a week of fun this summer with om three children: Diana, 12;
Jacquelyn, 9; and Bruce, 6. Frank i at present administrator for a real estate office and call quare dances for some four club. locally. I am Director of Women's and Girl's activities for the city recreation department here in Hut- chinson and enjoying ea.ch phase of my work. I teach folk and square dancing in all of our 13 elementary school (we have no phy ical education program in the grade school -only six of them have auditoriums) . o in a mall way, through dancing and marching tactics and some game , I am trying to acquaint the kids with organized play.
I also work with the Pioneer , a club for folks 60 and over, who love to play cards and dance- polkas, schottisches, waltzes, and som ·quares. Another very interesting group are the Indoor poL"ts, a club for the physically handicapped, who have been trying their hand at Wheel Chair Square Dancino· and Wheel hair Volleyball. I enjoy both the e group immensely.
This in an interesting· fact: early 22 year ago I came to the Athenaeum for my girl scout folk dance badge and, if I remember conectly, you were the in-
tructor. ow I am doing the same thing foi· our girl scouts in Hutchin on. I pass about 60 girls every 8 week . This is the 5th year I have had my Kansas Kalico Kids, 50-70 squares of children ranging in age from 4-14. They dance each Saturday in cla es of 5-8 quares at a time at half-hour intervals. We close each season with a big Junior Jam- boree for parents and friends of the 500 or mo1·e kids who dance. It is loads of fun!
Mar aret (Daigger) Burda and I are still close friend . We are tog·ether a great deal every time we go to Daven- port. She is happily married and has thr e lovely children. We were very ony to learn of the tragedy that be- fell Harry Warnken. His boy and our Diana were the ame age.
Keep up the good work at ormal ! Who knows? We may have ome one from our little brood there in a few
year .
Be t wishes from the Bowkers.

CLI IThe Wom n s Physical Education De- partment of Indiana Univer ity pon- sored a clinic on the Krau -Weber te ts for muscular fitness on Feb. 11-12. Dr.
Han Krau , a ociate profe or of lin- ical Medicine and Rehabilitation, . Y.
niver ity, Bellevue Medical Center, and Ruth P. Hirschland, research as i tant, conducted the meeting . The program ton isted of lecture and demon tration covering de criptions and administration of the test and the actual testing of school children. Those who qualified w re ·iven certificates as ertified Te ter .
During this two day clinic, approxi- mately 200 children ranging in age from 6-16 were tested and 60'1< failed by one or more of the ix simple exercises.
Thi e ms to be sufficient evidence to substantiate Dr. Kraus' finding in ov r 5,000 cases. These deficiencie , weak- nes" ten ion and lack of flexibility show a pronounced deficiency in our progTam b cau e 55'1< of the children ntering school fail the test and those at the age of 16 only how an improvement of ap- proximately 2%. In other word , 53% again fail the test.
Dr. Kraus reports these deficiencies can be con cted through proper condi- tioning activiti . From this brief pic- ture it is interesting to note that the program advocated by Mr. Rath year·
ago, is still one of the finest, sounde t
and mo t n ibl pro Tam in our fi ld.
