R obin Westbrook lifts weights at O ' Malley ' s gym. Weight lifting, in the past, has been considered a predomi- nantly male activity. Instead of working out or getting exer- cize in any way, many students found relaxing and watching T. V. more pref- erable. Phil Newman, junior, exemplifies this form of exercize as he sits watching some television. t I Biking is an extremely popular activity on the campus. Some hiked to class, while others took it more seriously. A group of students set off for a ride around the city. Other activities such as intramural sports were considered efficient ways of getting in shape. In this body condi- tioning class, ultimate frisbee was the ulti- mate sport. The class played for two weeks before challenging other classes to a match. FITNESS 19

FITN tAe FUTURE Popular sports this year were speed walking, aero- bicizing, and cycling. For those who were not able to find the exercise sys- tems to their liking, they were able to join local clubs. Two clubs were popular among students. Member- ship at Downtown Athletic club and O ' Malley ' s was high, each had well over 2,000 members. Though the gyms were crowded, the streets were just as crowded with runners, walkers, and bikers. Tanya Turner and Erica Gould ac- companied each other on a daily three mile run. Turner said she ran to get in shape and lose weight. She enhanced her exercise pro- gram by eating healthy meals. When the age of 65 L don ' t want i H have any problems . is for future ' Some found intramural sports just as fulfilling. Amy Wilder found ballet a good fitness activi- ty. Wilder practiced four hours a week because it made her feel good about herself. It makes me feel like I ' m doing something good for my body, she said, It gives me a more positive self-image. Some students, such as Mi- chael Oliveri, found he preferred a relaxing game of tennis to running or lifting weights. When Scott Kee- ble was asked what kind of fitness routine he had, he replied, I walk to class. Walking to class re- mained one of the most common forms of exercise on campus. 18 FITNESS Molly Turner Scoff McDonald.

PUTTING MONEY IN cfoun POCKET Picture it. it ' s Friday night and you ' re sitting in a room alone with $1.75 in your pocket. The ' empty-pock- et syndronne is a crisis many students faced. However, finding a job in a college town, with hundreds of other students in a similar bind, was not an easy task. Students such as Dori Mon- don were reduced to taking mini- mum pay jobs with long, demand- ing hours just to earn spending money for the weekends. Mom got sick of hearing me call home for money, said Dori. Dori worked 5 PM to 12 AM every other night at The Grill. Many students preferred on- campus jobs. Because these jobs ' 7 etijoy working, al- though it ' s harder when you get into your major because so much time is re- quired in those classes. — Beverly Wilson were university established, stu- dents only worked during school quarters. They were also more flexible, taking into account stu- dents ' class schedules. Finally, internships provided a little extra spending money while they helped build a resume. Greg Alexander, a journalism major, was fortunate enough to get an internship at Greenville News Piedmont. Working as a liaison in Piedmont between clients and ad- vertising representatives, Alexan- der made ad corrections and did some designing. I learned a lot about how de- manding companies are, and how time consuming the newspaper business is. 20 JOBS AND INTERNSHIPS Paige Barron Answering questions from locations of oncampus jobs to jobs at Disney World, the Tate Center information desk is a valuable tool for students.
