ROBBIE PREJEAN works with the 25 pound dumbells to build his bicep. NOT EVERYONE HAS to work hard; ping pong, for some, is a better way to relax. KELLY BREAUX exhibits the finer form of aerobics.

rom the looks of it today, no one would ever believe that the roots of the McNeese Recreational Complex lie in the 50-year old foun- dations of what was once the McNeese Rodeo Arena. The ‘‘Rec-Complex”’ is no longer a showcase for the livestock, but remains an entertainment center for the Cowboys; it has become one of McNeese’s premiere social and athletic attractions. James Pitre, head of the Recreational Complex, says, ‘‘We’re lucky to have such a versatile facility here on campus. Besides being a good recruiting tool for high school seniors, it gives the health- conscious student a decent place to go.”’ “Practically everyone these days is appearance and fitness oriented. What's so great about the complex is that you can exercise on your free time, seven days a week, jogging, lifting weights, swimming, etc.”’ Approximately one fourth of the McNeese population uses some part of the complex every day. The complex boasts weight and steam rooms, a sau- na, an indoor outdoor pool, a suntan room and the only indoor 200 meter tracks in the Lake Area. 106 Recreation Complex )
