Health Dept. offers new courses
The Department of Health
and Physical Education will
expand its curriculum next fall
to include a teaching field in
Health Education. The
courses wall be applicable
towards certification as a
Health Educator by the Texas
Education Agency, but will
not be offered as a major field.
Physical Education is
currently offered as both a
major field and a teaching
field. In the past, Physical
Education teachers have
taught health, but they lack
the specialized training
needed to teach the subject
effectively. The Texas
Education Agency, realizing
this problem, now requires
specialized certification for
Health Educators.
Existing Rice courses to be
cross-listed as Health courses
are:
Heal 101a Nutrition
(Biochemistry)
Heal 201a Environmental
Systems (Environmental
Engineering)
Heal 356b Sociology of
Health and Illness (Sociology)
Heal 370a History of
Medicine (History)
Heal 221a First Aid (was
Phed 326b)
Heal 107a Concepts in
Health Science (was Phed
202a)
Heal 410b Program Develop-
ment in Health Education
(was Phed 410b)
New courses to be offered are:
Heal 208b Chemical
Alteration of Behavior
Heal 303b Emergency Care
(Advanced First Aid)
Heal 306b Human Sexuality
Heal 407a Diseases of the
Human Organism.
The courses fulfill section
II.4 of Rice's distribution
requirements except Heal 101a
and Heal 201a which fulfill
section III.5. A certified
Health Educator with a
doctorate will be hired to gelp
coordinate and teach the
classes. They are open to all
Interested students.
Sidewalk construction underway
Those torn up sidewalks
you've been seeing around
campus will be a fairly
common sight for the next few
weeks as the Physical Plant
Department is undertaking a
program of sidewalk repair
around the campus. Thus, the
reason you've had to step
gingerly through the mud for
the last week is so that in the
future the sidewalks won't be
covered with water when it
rains.
Mr. Guernsey Palmer,
Construction Inspector for
Physical Plant, said that
"we're just repairing existing
areas." After the stretch of
sidewalk between the RMC
and the back of Fondren is
repaired, the Physical Plant
crew will attack the sidewalk
between Wiess House and
Baker House and the sidewalk
between Hanszen and Wiess.
Also in the works is a ramp in
front of Herman Brown to
make access to that building
easier for the handicapped.
The major delay in the
program so far has been the
less than ideal weather that
has afflicted Houston for the
last few weeks. Mr. Palmer
estimates that the construc-
tion will last "another couple
of weeks if the weather holds."
