iiWorking outii by Claudia Saxer No longer do only jocks and health fiends do it! Everybody who is anybody and who is with it is doing it this season. The itin thing, is iiwotking out . Working out no longer is just putting on that new jogging suit for a casual jog around the block. Working out now means sweats and 22 laps around the track, doing exercises before meals, and working out in the weight room every night. Working out has blossomed from being athletic training to Americais favorite pastime. What was once a fad seems bound to become an everyday activity of our lives. Stores with jogging suits and exercise apparatus are common. Health clubs and athletic arenas are overflowing with enthusiasts. ISUis arena seems to have become as popular as the grill for a place to meet friends. Laps are not easy to run due to the crowded lanes, and one can find people using the weight room at all hours of the day. Americais fastest growing pastime catches on at Indiana State

b r Lee With the 4 otclock W-I-S-U N ewswatch Switching the station dial to 89.7 on your radio on various days will make one wonder as to the type of station you have tuned to as chances are that each program will be totally different. The reason is you have tuned in WISU, a station carrying programs as varied as opera music, Rock Montage, and Physics III. Run by students majoring in broadcasting, ISUts own 11,500 watt FM radio station has a staff of about 30. Under the direction of station manager David Lister, a graduate student, students operate the station without receiving pay nor credit. According to a member of the news staff, David Lee, ttAbout 9091'; of the students donit get paid and do it solely for experience. Leeis real name is David Poland-he uses Lee as last name on the air because hit is easier to say and I like it. WISU, Which signs on at 2 p.m. and signs off at 12 am. seven days a week, can be heard throughout the entire Wabash Valley. Director Dave Lister says the station attempts to air programs not normally featured in the area. Classified as an educational station, WISU plans to go to stereo in the future. Approval has already been gotten from the Federal Communica- tions Commission tFCCi and Lee says the transition could occur as early as this summer. This would then give ISU the prestige of having the first school sponsored radio station in stereo in the state of Indiana. Lee says WISU has no income of its own as they cannot advertise on the air, being an educational station. He went on to say that operating costs and payroll for the manager and the news and sports staff are payed by the Board of Trustees. WISU Newswatch 25
