BARBARA HAINES 100 Attend LCU Workshop On Motor Perception More than 100 elementary school principals, supervising teachers and classroom teach ers of elementary physical education from 25 La Crosse and area schools participated in a motor perception workshop Friday at La Crosse State University. The workshop was jointly sponsored by the College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation and the LCU Student Teaching and Internship Program.
