Sex, sports There is nothing more re- warding in this tedious and often jejuné profession than to interview a person who is both intelligent and a helluva nice guy. I recently had the pleas- ure of meeting a chap who possessed both of these quali- ties and, because of them, an hour long question and answer period was stretched into four hours. When you first meet Jack Sibbald you are immediately impressed with his mischie- vous smile and glowing person- ality. To say this physical edu- cation department head is an extrovert is wrong, but yet, neither is he introverted. His mental makeup is a_ perfect blend, without any overdoses or added seasoning. Jack's charming .wife Bar- bara, and two of her friends, were busy watching five- month-old Susan push herself around the living room floor via a Jolly Jumper. It was sug- gested Jack and I retire to the kitchen to conduct the inter- view, and with a backward glance filled with pride at his first child, Jack Sibbald and yours truly headed. toward a cold ale and enjoyable conver- sation. Smilingly, Jack gave an elf- ish grin and asked, "What would you like to know? Do you really want to go through with this?" After the affirma- tive was established, Jack Sib- bald, who a few years ago was one of Canada's better lacrosse players, changed his elfish grin for an expression of tight- lipped seriousness. Drawing deeply and noisely on a cigarette, he answered the questions with a tone of deep conviction and sincerity be- hind each syllable. To waver on an answer would be wrong was the impression created by this man who just recently fe- fused a coaching position at McGill University. All of the conversation centred around physical educa- tion, its faults and advantages. Perhaps we should allow Jack to tell you his- views through the notes of this repor- ter. Sit back and read carefully -- I know you're going to en- joy what he has to say regard- ing physical education at the Secondary School level. "We teach education through the physical. The con- cept is to build strength, en- APRIL 4, 1968 4 ' and school " durance, motor skills, attitudes and improved health. Physical educators feel it helps an indi- vidual to be able to make a better adjustment to society and.to be a better all-round citizen. "Today athletics are not so important. The natural athlete is not so predominate anymore. Programmes are now estab- lished to assist boys who are not as athletically endowed as others. These remedial pro- grammes improve their all- round athletic ability. "There is a move today to abolish phys-ed marks in aca- demic averages. There would be separate reports for phys-ed and these would be more meaningful to a parent. Teach- ing health is very important. Certain facts and knowledge, when applied by a student, will enable him to live a healthy and more productive life. We teach sex, but it's called Fami- ly Living. We teach biological facts about the human body trying to give the students a mature outlook on family liv- ing. We talk about courtships, honeymoons, the female re- production system, etc. We do need more experience in this field. "I think winning is impor- tant because it's part of our way of life. It teaches us to be competitive in business. Aca- demic ineligibility is a highly discriminatory practice' and is psychologically unsound. | It's psychologically damag- ing to students to deprive them of sports. -- "We need more _ phys-ed classes. Today we don't give the students sufficient expo- sure to phys-ed. An advisory board in Ottawa would be a good idea in that it could assist the provinces with their phys- ed programmes. Federal con- trol would be a good idea in the field of educetion. ""m 100 percent behind athletic scholarships. We're losing good athletes to the U.S. because of this. As long as a boy is academically eligible, why not offer him financial assistance? A good athlete has something to offer' the univer- sity." Well, I hope you've enjoyed your brief meeting with Jack Sibbald? Perhaps we'll do it again.
