Dean's Note


Patrick J. Bird, Ph.D.






The sights and sounds from my of-
fice windows change every day now.
Fences are popping up all around the
building Piles of construction materi-
als are being stacked on our once well-
manicured lawn. Trenches are appear-
ing unexpectedly like sink holes. The
songs of the birds are drowned out by
the pounding of jack hammers, the
shouts of workmen, and the roar of con-
struction trucks. Inside the building is
no better. We must find our way through
a mist of dust to our classes, and our lec-
tures are accompanied by 'craping and
tearing as old walls fall and incessant
hammering as new ones go up. The
$10,000,000 renovation of Florida Gym
has begun.
The noise and disruption will all be
worth it, of course. If you visit us in 18
month,, you will see large, new exer-
cise physiology and anatomy laborato-
ries, high-tech lecture halls (the former
site of the bleachers in Alligator Alley),
and freshly painted, spruced-up class-
rooms and offices. I-lrida Gym will be
a different place.


The renovation of Florida Gym is just
another sign of the continuing develop-
ment of your College. As the adjacent
side-bar "1994 Facts" shows, and as you
will read throughout Performance, we
are progressing in many ways and con-
tinually improving our nationally and
internationally recognized programs-
programs that focus on helping people
of all ages improve their health, fitness,
and quality of life.
To keep up this momentum, we need
your help. Each year the percentage of
our total state budget declines, while our
enrollment increases. For instance, since
1985 enrollment has doubled. Yet, our
state budget has not even kept pace with
inflation. This has resulted in very high
student/teacher ratios and almost
unmanageably large classes. In addition,
teaching supplies and equipment are
scarce, particularly the computerized
educational tools required by our in-
creasingly sophisticated information
age. Most important of all, there are pre-
cious few dollars to assist students with
their college costs.
Just as all the action outside my win-
dow is required to construct a modern
teaching and research facility, action on
your part is needed to help us fill this
new space with outstanding education
programs for our students.
Our College Honor Roll of contribu-
tors (see page 14) has been increasing
slowly. But it still lists only 547 donors,
less than 10 percent of our graduates. If
your name does not appear on the honor
roll, allow us to list you in the next is-
sue of Performance. If your name does
appear, please continue your support.
Remember, this is your College. So the
better we get, the more valuable your
degree becomes.
One final point, which is completely
off the topic of fund aiin:i: Last year
marked the end of an era. Dr. Dora Hicks
and Dr. Norma Leavitt died. These su-
perb educators were among the last of
the "old guard" that founded the Col-
lege almost 50 years ago. We will miss
them (see page 7).

Development Report


In this time of "down-sizing,"
colleges depend more on financial
assistance from their graduates
and friends than ever before. To
enhance our development pro-
gram, the College has recently
named William D. Frederick, Di-
rector of Development. Formerly
Director of Regional Programs at
the UF Foundation, Bill has many
William D. Frederick years of practical experience in
fund i.liiine To familiarize alumni and friends with the
progre', of the college, he will be traveling with the dean


and chairs to meet personally with alumni and friends. Bill
stresses that fund-raising is not an immediate-result activ-
ity. "It takes time to answer questions perl:,iriin to direc-
tion and growth, and to educate people about the impor-
tance of fund raising By working with our alumni and
friends on an individual basis, we improve communica-
tion, build friendships, and encourage them to support the
college." Bill will also be working with the Dean to estab-
lish a College Advisory Council. "This council would aid
in communications, identify common interests, i Nter co-
operative ventures, and encourage exchanges of intellec-
tual and human resources between business and industrial
communities, the college, and the state."


Where there's a will, there's a way


It's your will, and you don't have to
write one. But, if you don't, the state in
which you reside has one for you. It's
called a distribution under intestate suc-
cession statute, and you may not like the
way the state distributes your assets.
The state will not, for example, pro-
vide for a charitable contribution to any
charity including the College of Health
and Human Performance. On the other
hand, if you execute a will, or a revo-
cable living trust (a will substitute), you
can guarantee through a "specific pro-
vision," a "contingent provision," or a
reiduul provision" that the efforts of
your College or another charitable or-
ganization will receive the benefit of
your gt-neiosilyt after your death.
A "specific bequest" designates a
specific amount, specific percent or spe-
cific item in your estate, to benefit your
charities. There is, of course, an advan-
tage to leaving a specified percentage
of your estate to charity. You will not


have to revise the provision as your es-
tate grows or shrinks. However, there is
a danger in ,pec lf. ing pec ilic items
from your estate. If these items are not
part of your estate (i.e. you left 100
shares of IBM stock, but forgot you sold
it when the price moved) when you die
the charity receives nothing.
A contingent provision allows you to
make a bequest if some other event oc-
curs. For e\:lmple, you might say "If
Uncle Joe Smith predeceases me then
this gift shall go to this charity." Or, you
might say, "If my estate assets exceed
$1,000,000, a bequest of S100,000 shall
go to endow a scholarship fund carry-
ing my name." Some ind\ idu:ln back
up every specific bequest with a contin-
gent provision.
A "residual bequest" simply distrib-
utes "..all the rest, remainder, and resi-
due..." of your estate that has not been
distributed by specific bequests. If your
will does not contain such a provision,


forgotten assets may end up being dis-
tributed by intestate law. Your will has
even more flexibility. You may elect to
have assets perform multiple functions.
You may direct that a life income pro-
gram (a charitable gift annuity or chari-
table remainder trust) be created at your
demise to benefit both individuals and
a charity. In these instances, you direct
who will benefit from current income
of assets \ killed :ind who will benefit ul-
timately from the remaining principal.
Such a will provision, besides being very
thoughtful, may help reduce one's es-
tate tax liability.

your will, please contact:

Capital gains income losses


Many of our graduates are looking
forward to an active retirement and
are in the process of converting ap-
preciated property into retirement in-
come. But instead of providing for
your future, you can wind up sending
Uncle Sam money that should be earn-


ing you income!
Fortunately, that's a mistake you
can avoid by setting up a charitable
remainder trust that provides you with
an income for life. You can put all or
a percentage of undivided interest of
your asset into the trust and, by avoid-


ing capital gains taxes, have a larger
amount working for your retirement.
I he result is more income for you and
a wonderful gift for the College. Why
not find out how your situation could

GatorShade project encourages



skin cancer awareness


With as many as one in three Americans being diagnosed
with skin cancer before the age of 75, it is no wonder
weather forecasters are now issuing daily UV reports. Even
"Little Miss Coppertone" now sports a tee-shirt, hat and
shades. It is a message that needs to reach young and old
alike, hut all too often, it takes an experience with skin
cancer to raise one's consciousness level.
Enter "GatorShade" an idea that began out of concern for
the number of young children attending the Gator football
games with little or no protection from the sun's intense
rays.

;, .' ', .
.. .. .


Dr. Jill Varnes. Assistant Dean and Associate Professor in
Health Science Education and Dr. Carol Reed Ash, occupant
of the Kirbo Endowed Chair in Oncology Nursing joined
forces to provide sun priltectini- white hats to all children

under the age of eight
attending the October 8
Gator vs Louisiana State
game.
As educators, Ash and
Varnes knew that
providing hats to
children was not enough
to promote skin cancer
awareness to the 84,000
plus fans attending the
game. There had to be a
way to deliver an
educational message.
The GatorShade
message (left) was
placed on a 3 by 5 card
with the me-,age on one
side and the Gator
football schedule for the


next three years on the other. Thanks to the coninhriunon of
85,000 S.P.F. 30 sunscreen samples from Clinique Skin Care
Products, fans were also provided a free sunscreen sample
as they came through the gates on game day. All in all,
64,000 (est) sunscreen samples were distributed, 3500
children's hats, and 20,000 of the information cards.
Students and faculty from the Colleges of Nursing and
Health and Human
Performance were
the real power
behind the effort.
The GatorShade
volunteers decked
out in their T
shirts and
GatorShade hats
began hours before
kickoff with an
informal survey of

ESS (11141 Lisa Chin Ya, ESS (front)
survey was to
determine sun protective behaviors of those going to the
game. A week later these same students were out ui \ c ing
again to find out if the awareness level had been increased
due to the GatorShade education effort.
In addition to the effort at the football game, the Student
Health Care Center's
health education
department is provid-
ing educational
programs in the
residence halls.
Sunscreen samples are :'
available in the SHCC
lobby along with the
GatorShade message
cards. Plans are
already underway by
Varnes and Ash to
conduct a similar
program at one of the Gator baseball games in the spring.
This community awareness project was supported by
contributions from the College of Medicine, American
Cancer Society, Shands Hospital, the UF Cancer Center,
AVMED Healthplan, the Cancer Center at AGH, Rella
Corporation and Clinique.

In Memorial


Norma Leavitt remembered as friend and educator


Norma M. Leavitt, piol'feor emeri-
tus, died September 8, 1994. She was
83. Dr. Leavitt taught for 50 years, 28
of those at the University of Florida.
Born in New York City, she graduated
from the Sargent College of Physical
Education at Boston University in 1930
with highest honors. She received her
master's and doctorate degrees from the
Teacher's College of Columbia Univer-
sity.
Dr. Leavitt's career in higher educa-
tion began in 1935 at the University of
Missouri. After 11 years, she began a
professorship at Illinois State Normal


University. Six years later, she moved
to the University of Florida, as profes-
sor and head of the Department of Physi-
cal Education for Women.
Dr. Leavitt authored and co-authored
two books and over 50 articles for pro-
fessionaljournals. She was an editor of
Florida Journal bfr Hcnahi. Physical
Education and Recreation for 10 years.
In 1968, she was elected president of the
Florida Association for Health, Physi-
cal Education, Recreation and Dance.
Dr. Leavitt was a member of the Board
of Directors of the Older Americans
Council of Alachua County, the city of


Gainesville Neighborhood Advisory
Board, the Altrusa Club of Gainesville,
and the UF President's Council.


The following is an excerpt from an interview with Dr.
Leavitt which was featured in the Winter 1988 issue of
Performance shortly after her retirement.

Q. "How have you kept fit since your retirement?"
A. "Ijogged all over in my precious NIKE shoes given to me
by my last methods class, but soon my ankles told me to quit,
so I switched to fast walking. Not until 1988 did my shoes
blow the whistle and come to a screaming halt having blown
two holes. So now they are relegated to my very best yard
shoes-- cannot surrender them totally!"


Q." Are you particularly proud of any one accomplishment?"
A. "The scholarship established in my name when I retired
has done well, and a $500 annual award is now being given. I
am so proud to attend the award ceremony and make the pre-
sentation, and to gratefully think of all of you who made it
possible. What more could one ask after 50 years in the pro-
fession so dear to my heart, the teaching of youth thnmfh
physical activities."

Expressions of sympathy may be made in the form of dona-
tions to the Norma Leavitt Scholarship Fund.


Health education advocate, Dora Hicks


Dr. Dora Adeline Hicks, professor
emeritus from the University of Florida
Department of Health Science Education
died June 20, 1994. She was 81. Born in


Elkhart, Texas, Dr. Hicks moved to

ulty. She received her bachelor's, master's
and doctoral degrcc, in biological sci-
ences and health science education from
the University of Texas at Austin.
While at UF, Dr. Hicks initiated and
developed the bachelor's and two
master's degrees in Health Science Edu-
cation, and was chair of the programs
for more than 25 years.
In 1990, the Department of Health
Science Education established the an-
nual Dora A. Hicks Lecture in recogni-
tion of her many years of professional
leadership.


Founder of the Florida Association
of Professional Health Educators, Hicks
also served as president.
Dr. Hicks also volunteered many
years to health ; aenciei. including more
than 35 years as a member of the State

Aging athletes --A 20 year study
AgnIthee -A20yarstd


By Nancy Dohn


A 20-year study of athletes 40 years
and older has yielded oiirprisin.,
information about the effects of a;in _
on aerobic capacity, the risk of coronary
heart disease and body composition.
By physically evaluating 25 male
runners at 10-year intervals, Michael
Pollock, Ph.D., director of the Center for
Exercise Science, and principal investi-
gator of the study, determined that older
men who perform high-intensity train-
ing do not experience an increased risk
to their coronary arteries.
"When we began the study, the first
of its kind to be done on men in the over-
40 age bracket, we were looking at many
things that were considered dangerous
as far as heart disease is concerned,"
Pollock said. "We were being asked, 'Is
it safe for a 70- cuir-old person to do a
100-yard-dash or run a marathon?'
Twenty years ago, we didn't know the
answers. Now we do."
"We found it to be very safe. Some
of the men in this age group have medi-
cal problems that everyone is predis-
posed to due to agin,;. such as arthritis,
but they have very little cardiovascular
disease. We found they were able to
maintain their blood pressure very well
over the 20-year study period without
medication."
In addition, aerobic capacity-the
supply of oxygen-carrying blood and the
cells' ability to use it-does not neces-
sarily decrease with time as previously
thought.
"Those athletes that remained com-
petitive and didn't change their training
during the first 10 years of the study
were able to maintain their aerobic ca-
pacity." Pollock said. "However, the
post-competitive athletes showed a sig-
nificant decline of 10 percent in their
ability to utilize oxygen."
At the 20-year evaluation, aerobic
capacity was reduced in proportion to
how much training was reduced. Nine
of the athletes maintained an elite stand-
ing and their aerobic capacity was bet-
ter than 99 percent compared to others

in their age group in the general popu-
lation. The most surpri i in result of the
study, Pollock said, is that despite con-
sistent aerobic training, muscle mass
seems to decrease naturally at a rate of

maintaining an active life-style can

about 3 pounds per decade unless weight
training is routinely done.
"This finding really surprised us.
Even though the athletes were very ac-
tive, their muscle mass decreased sig-
nificantly during the first 10 years of the

study," he said. "However, at the 20-
year-evaluation, those runners who had
added strength training were able to
maintain muscle mass."
The American Heart Association
funded his research, and Pollock pre-
sented his findings at the annual meet-
ing of the American College of Sports
Medicine.
Jack Wilmore. Ph.D., a professor of
kinesiology at the University of Texas
at Austin, stressed the importance of
Pollock's findings. "While aging can't
be pre enlied. mainti.iirlini an active life-
style can greatly slow the aging process
and provide some protection against dis-
eases like heart disease, hypertension,
adult-onset diabetes and obesity. The
finding that resistance training provides
the additional benefit of maintaining
muscle mass with aging is particularly
important."
The study began in 1971 using run-
ners iunlgin in age from 40 to 76 years
of age. All were competitors at a Na-
tional Masters Track and Field meet in
California and are considered master
athletes-individuals who train for and
participate in national or international
competitions after the age of 40.
Baseline measurements, repeated in
1981 and in 1991, were re-obtained for
resting heart rate and blood pressure.
Aerobic capacity to measure oxygen
utilization and electrocardiograms to
detect irregular heartbeats and lack of
blood flow to the heart were performed
while runners were on treadmills or sta-
tionary b;'\ cl", Pollock said. Body fat
was measured at seven different sites
using a skin-fold caliper, and an under-
water weighing technique.
"'What happens with age is that
people tend to do less," said Pollock.
"When you do less, you lose certain ca-
pacities, your muscle mass decreases
and your body weight, fat and blood
pressure increase. All these factors ap-
pear to be off-set i-gni icantly by long
term physical activity."

The USOC Education Committee is a volunteer
committee of the U.S. OI)p 'jlp Committee which
shoulders the huge task of communicating to the
public and educating ior '\ rtl ah,;bout the Olympic
movement. Dr. Paula Welch, Professor ESS, was
named Vice Chair of this Committee. Following
are a few bits of information about the 1996 games.

On July 19, 1996, at eight o'clock in thet en in.g,
the Centennial Olympic Games will open in At-
lanta, Georgia. Nearly four billion people are ex-
pected to witness the event via satellite television.
No competition is scheduled for the day of the
Opening Ceremony which represents a departure
from tradition. Sixteen days of competition begin
on July 20th. A century ago just 14 countries par-
ticipated in the I Olympiad while nearly 200 coun-
tries are expected to be a part of the XXVI Olym-
piad.
The Opening and Closing Ceremonies will fo-
cus on three themes: the centennial of the Olym-
pic gaine,. the diversity of the South, and youth.
Because of larger venues and additional sports
and disciplines, there will be more opportunities
to see the Olympics than ever before. The Atlanta
Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) esti-
mates that 11,039,699 tickets will go on sale to the
public in the spring of 1995. Tickets will first be
available for purchase by direct mail and later by
telephone. The International Olympic Committee
(IOC) approved ticket prices ranging from $6 to
$250. Among the "firsts" at the Atlanta Games is
the inclusion of transportation as part of the ticket
price.
Like ancient Greek tradition, track and field
events remain at the heart of the Games and are
the most popular and expensive sports. Five per-
cent of the tickets exceed S,-, the average price
being $39.72. Every sport will have at least one
session for which tickets are available at or less
than $25. The most expensive tickets are for the
Opening and Closing Ceremonies and will be sold
for $200, $400, and $600. Nine sports have tick-
ets priced over $75 including the last session of
track and field, finals for basketball, boxing, div-
ing, artistic vm nin:alj;C:. soccer, swimming, tennis,
and volleyball.
The Centennial Olympic Games logo consists


of a torch and flame against a background <
"Georgia Green." The words "Atlanta 1996" ai
pear at the bottom of the design in gold. The handle
of the torch, also in gold, offers the impression (
a classical Greek column. The Olympic rings an
the number 100 in the form of a column highligl
the central theme of the Centennial celebration.
The official mascot, now known as "Izzy" wi
introduced as "Whatizit" during the closing cerem(
nies of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. In June, 1993,
ACOG invited children from around the world to
rename the mascot. Over 3,000 responses were given
to the Kids Advisory Council, comprised of 32 At-
lanta children ages 7 to 12. The new moniker ap-
pealed to them. "because it sounded like a winner."
Another creative aspect was the development
of a graphic design which reflects the character
and beauty of Atlanta, the ancient olympic tradi-
tions, and the cultural heritage of the southern part
of the United States. "A Quilt of Leaves," was
inspired by the Southern ir:dnion, of quilt mak-
ing, and the colorful patterns formed by the ath-
letes as they parade ithrouIh the stadium during the
Opening Ceremonies. The leaf pattern is represen-
tative of the numerous trees in metropolitan At-
lanta, one of the most forested urban areas in the
United States, the laurel wreath presented to cham-
pion athletes, and the olive branch )mboliziing
peace.
While creativity and culture play ,ignificaini
roles in planning for the Olympic Games, the fi-
nancial aspects of the Games are an essential. The
U.S. is the only country which does not depend on
extensive government support for hosting the
Games. While Congress passed the Olympic Coin
Act which produces revenues from coins, the ac-
tual dollar amount is very small. The budget of the
Atlanta Olympic Games exceeds over a billion
dollar" The major sources of f.udi ing include tele-
vision rights consideration, corporate sponsorships,
merchandise and ticket sales.
ACOG is working with hotel and motel man-
agement to ensure fair and reasonable rates. The
Organizing Committee is also planning a private
housing network of single family residents, apart-
ments, and condominiums. Reservations for ac-
commodations in Atlanta and other Georgia cities
will be announced early in 1995.

"The academic rigor demanded
by the faculty at the University
of Florida challenged me to
work hard and stimulated my
interest to pursue a doctorate
degree. It was evident that the
faculty took a personal interest
in each student while, at the
same time, imposing standards
of high academic performance."
JaLimes Cruwe


James W. Crowe


W hat
does
Hoosier native,
Dr. James W.
Crowe, have in
common with
Gator Country?
Although currently
serving as Chair
for Indiana
University's
Department of
Applied Health
Science, back in
1960, Jim was just
finishing his
masters degree
from the College
of Health and
Human
Performance. That
makes Jim a Gator,
and once a Gator,
always a Gator!


The Crowe's first introduction to the
Sunshine State was an early test of their mettle.
The long trip down from Indiana was more
than their car could % ii 1hiandl. and the cost of
repairs was more than their wallet could
manage. Left with just enough to rent a
p.lnhlndlle motel room for the night, Jim, his
wife Barbara, and their young son Mike had to
forego breakfast the next morning.
When the Crowe's finally reached Gaines-
ville, broke, tired, and hungry, they were
pleased to learn that they would be living in the
new, modern, married student housing, Corry
Village. They were delighted with the news
until they discovered that Corry Village was
still under construction. Now homeless, broke,
tired, and hungry, the family was relegated to
live in a tenant house located in a university-
owned citrus grove in Marion County. It was
here that the Crowes were introduced to the
ubiquitous "palmetto bugs" up close and
personal. That arrangement mercifully lasted
only two weeks, when they were able to move
into their Corry Village apartment and begin to
enjoy their stay in sunny Florida.
After leaving UF, Jim continued his
education, receiving an Ed.D. from Indiana
ltnierili in 1979. His areas of professional
expertise include emergency medical care,
driver and traffic safety education, and alcohol,
tobacco, and drug education. He has published,
presented, and consulted extensively in these


areas. He has also received a number of grants,
especially for his work in the areas of substance
abuse and driver education. Jim has provided
numerous public and professional in-service
projects, and holds membership in several
professional associations. He has served in
numerous leadership positions for professional
organizations, including his current role as
national President for the School and Commu-
nity Safety Society of America. He works with
volunteer agencies as well, particularly the
American Cancer Society. Jim has also been
recognized for his effectiveness in the class-
room with a campus-wide award for distin-
guished teaching at Indiana University.
Despite a somewhat shakey introduction to
Gatorland, Jim has remained a friend of the
University, -ru\ IdiLng support for the Depart-
ment of Health Science Education and holding
membership in the University of Florida
Alumni Association.
Jim and Barbara currently reside in
Bloomington, Indiana, near their son Michael,
daughter Monica, and five grandchildren.
We salute alumnus Dr. James W. Crowe for
his distinguished career in health and safety
education.

Research Report

HHP faculty address broad range of research topics


S(C'L'U DIVING HAS LONG
been considered a high risk sport, with
cave diving being one of the highest risk
sports known.
Although data exists concerning per-
sonality types of cave divers as an ex-
pert class of high risk sport participants,
diving certification org.iniljtions have
suggested that little is known about the
personality types of persons who teach
high risk activities to others.
Enter Dr. Milledge Murphey, asso-
ciate professor in the Department of
Exercise & Sport Sciences specializing
in sport psychology, and current presi-
dent of the National Association for
Cave Diving.
Dr. Murphey ispreentl\ involved in
three different projects directly related
to personality types, self esteem and
hih-iiik behavior. Are explorers and
instructors different? What sort of per-
sonality type engages in this highest risk
sport, and does participation in high risk
activity affect personality changes over
the course of a lifetime?
This research will provide important
information on the psychology and mo-
tivation behind high risk recreation.

1 I11 ATTENTIONN HAS BEEN
given to recent efforts to overturn the
ban on gays in the military or bar dis-
crimination against gays in federal hir-
ing. The most intense battles have taken
place over local ordinances. By mid-
1993, at least 25 counties and 101 cities
had prohibited discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation.
Dr. Barbara Rienzo, professor in
Health Science Education, and Political
Science professors. James Button and
Kenneth \\ ad. have undertaken a study
to profile these laws, examine their
scope, and determine the extent to which
they have been implemented. The sur-
vey hoped to reveal the impact of the
ordinances in the public schools, the


battleground where much of the rheto-
ric has focused.
Often the flashpoint of community
conflict over homosexuality, the survey
revealed that public schools were rou-
tinely left uncovered or exempted in
these ordinances. Almost half of these
districts included instruction about ho-
mosexuality, but only a quarter provided
counseling for gay students, and even
fewer instituted a policy that forbids
harassment on the basis of sexual ori-
entation. Most gay students and teach-
ers remain reticent about I ecil ing their
sexual orientation. Thus, many needs of
the gay population in the public schools
remain unaddressed.

WEIGHT TRAINING COULD
help reduce the chances of developing
osteoporosis, the leading cause of frac-
tures in men and women over 65.
Dr. Michael Pollock, director of the
Center for Exercise Science found that
exercise can make a significant change
in bone mineral density in the elderly.
Fifty healthy volunteers between the
ages of 62 and 82, who were leading
sedentary lifestyles participated in the
study. Using a MedX lumbar extension
machine, participants were found to in-
crease bone mineral density by 14 per-
cent in just six months. "Exercise is one
of the n'lmo pottent 'tinulants we can use
to help maintain and increase bone den-
sity," Pollock said. "It's valuable at any
age, but it's particularly important in the
older person."

HOW DOES TECHNOLOGY ef-
fect the education of today's youth as
applied to personal fitness?
Dr. Charles Williams, associate dean
and professor of Exercise and Sport Sci-
ences and Matt Feigenbaum, a doctoral
candidate in ESS have received funding
as lead investi,; irors to determine the im-
pact of technology in personal fitness


classes on student performance. Three
groups of students will be included in the
study. One will use the American Col-
lege of Sports Medicine guidelines for
exercise prescription utilizing interactive
computer software programs and state-of-
the-ai e eici'.e eiei'~ ntci'. Another will
receive traditional personal fitness activ-
ity instruction and yet another will par-
ticipate in traditional team sports activi-
ties modeling the standard physical edu-
cation curricultini iniplelnienred IliroTi1ih-
out the country.

RESISTIVE TK\ININ(; I'RO-
grams on the general adult population
have been shown to decrease the risk of
serious injury from a fall or accident,
improve muscular strength and endur-
ance, physical work capacity, and meta-
bolic function. However, none of these
studies have focused on persons with
mental retardation. Dr. Christine
Stopka, associate professor in Exercise
and Sport Sciences was lead investiga-
tor on just such a study revealing sig-
nificant strength gains can be realized
by adolescents and young adults with
moderate to severe MR through their
participation in a twice weekly physical
fitness program that emphasizes resis-
tance training. The intent of;l:h pro\TgrIu
was to provide this population w ith duf-
ficient skills that could be integrated into
their vocational and recreational pur-
suits, in turn contributing to their psy-
chological well-being and self-esteem.
Crn.tinlK [hoc subjects in the study who
also had physical limitations such as
cerebral palsy or spinal myelodysplasia
realized strength gains that had direct
benefits on their activities of daily liv-
ing. Individuals with disabilities must
not be excluded from such programs of
physical iitne-C, arguably, these indi-
viduals benefit from and need such pro-
grams as much as, if not more than, their
nondisabled peers.

Performance contributed 683 gifts of $2,000 or less for a total of $37,477 through annual giving.
That is an average of $54.87 per donor. Annual gifts are such a vital source of income to our
college. These unrestricted dollars allow the Dean and the Department Chairs to meet
unexpected challenges and solve problems that permit the college to continue to improve and
serve the needs of the students.
Since these gifts are expended each year, the Annual Fund must be replenished annually
to sustain the high quality you expect from your college.
We respectfully request that you consider a gift or taking your gift this year to the next
higher level. Please fill in the information on the next page and mail it today.
