PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS DAVID BISCHOFF University of Massachusetts After Deane's excellent job last year reviewing the 75 year history of NCPEAM, I thought it might be appropriate to try to indicate some concerns I have about Physi- cal Education in general, and NCPEAM specifically, that may have to be addressed to ensure that there will be, some 24 years hence, an opportunity for an NCPEAM President to review the organization's 100 year history. Although such a task obvi- ously involves a great deal of speculation and, of course, can make the person who involves himself in such an undertaking look pretty foolish even a few years later, I believe such risks are worth taking. So, with the old saying that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" well in mind, here goes.... The safest suggestion I can make is that we must begin by making a sincere and concerted effort to determine as clearly as possible what we are as an organi- zation and what we should be in terms of the role we are to play in the profession and how we are going to play it. This sounds like a comparatively simple task, but any such undertaking is certain to bring to the surface basic disagreements among members that within the usual comradarie of our annual meetings are never really addressed. One short-run consequence of deliberately surfacing and clarifying what are genuine and possibly irreconcilable disagreements among ourselves, will be a possible reduction in total membership. Certainly, the more specific we get in a confrontation with our differing values and professional commitments, the high- er the probability that we will alienate some members. In spite of this I suggest that NCPEAM should "bite the bullet" by setting a well-planned course that makes sense to a majority of our members. I would suggest that the Resolutions Committee report this year was a step in this direction. This kind of sharpening of our focus, with the probability of an accompanying reduction in membership, will mean that NCPEAM membership could cost significantly more in the near future.I am confi- dent however that most of our members are both willing and able to adjust to this eventuality if the organization is perceived as a vital force in the profession. If one can accept this self examination idea at least for the next twenty-five minutes or so, I would like to suggest problems that should be addressed by almost all of us who operate under the banner of Physical Education. Itis, of course, a naive sug- gestion that the "profession" address the problems, butitis not at all naive to suggest that NCPEAM (and NAPECW) can both address them and also provide some significant direction to their solution. The first concern that demands a clear position by the profession is the "re- quirement" in college physical education programs. Too many of us have simplisti- cally assumed that what goes on in College gymnasiums was intrinsically good the oldfitness-carry overskill-Christian values syndrome succumbed toby Y.M.C.A.'s, Police Athletic Leagues and even churches. This assumption has been sustained by the historic (if simplistic) notion that the requirement is a major bul- wark against the elimination of physical education as a viable curricular areaand 1,, that a requirement is always more desirable than any elective program, no matter how arranged. I would like to suggest that we objectively re-examine what such data-free logic has been doing for (or to) students. My guess is that we would be hard-pressed to justify many of the objectives of the requirement in most institu- tions.I would also suggest that we would be even harder pressed to indicate any significant attainment of our loosely stated objectives through a requirement. The loss of the crutch of the requirement would undoubtedly hasten the on- set of a critical examination of what the students want and how best we can meet these needs. This might also mean a move away from the idea that vigorous partici-
