THE BATTALION Wednesday, June Si, 197S College Station, Texas — Caronia ‘graduates’ from physical fitness program minus 60 pounds Skeptics about physical fitness programs haven’t seen Julian Ca ron la lately. He is a hiffh honors "gradu ate 1 * of the Health and Physical Education Department’s program for AAM faculty and staff mem bers. Caronia is an accountant with the Engineering Extension Serv ice. The 52-year-old. 8-to-5 desk commander contacted Dr. John Cbevrette last September about the noon-hour program. "Julian was in such bad shape, we couldn’t take the responsibility even for him to jog," Cbevrette said. "We asked him to talk to his doctor first” He now has the heart rate and Mood pressure of a cross country runner, according to lab tests run last week by Dr. George Jessup, the department’s exercise physi ologist Caronia now weighs a svelte Educational Psychology adds 4 faculty members The Educational Psychology Department has added four new members to the AAM faculty, including a summer visiting pro fessor who will become fulltime next fall.

But more important, his hsart rate it down to 69 from 75, with a corresponding improve ment in Mood pressure. When the engineering extension official first talksd to Cbevrette last fall, he was carrying 220 pounds on his Moot-4 frame. “It’s given me a new vitality," Caronia commented, "and I feel deeply indebted to Dr. Cbevrette and Dr. Carl Landiss (department head).” "My wife ie sold on it too,” he added. She has joined him for the noon-hour Jog. He stressed that it was not a “crash thing. Most of the time it was two or three pounds improvement per week.” For the statistically inclined, the accountant revealed he went from sise 46 to S8 trousers and from a 17* to 15* shirt. He didn’t make drastic diet changes, other than cutting out starchy foods and missing the noon meal to work out. Caronia said he is staying with the program, which includes "a little jogging for about 26 min- ntes and some calisthenics. It takes about an hour and 16 min utes, including a shower.” "Another thing I’d like to stress ^s the value of Joining an organ- isad group,” he added. "When a person tries to do it on his own, it's too easy to find an excuse to do it tomorrow.' He continues the program, even in inclement weather. “When you’re in good shape, you don’t catch a cold as easy,' he pointed out. The best part, Caronia went on, is the difference in the way a person who has been overweight feels. "Julian did it himself,” Chev- rette observed. “No one helped him but himself. All ere gave eras encouragement.” The health and phys ad prof pointed out another obstacle Ca ronia surmounted. "A lot of people at this age feel they are too old or too far counselor at TAMU, Thomas as sumed a teaching assignment in volving working with freshmen in career development. To become instructors effective in September are Don E. Williams and Arthur F. Vickland. Williams will assist with teaching in the •college student personnel pro gram and work in a fellowship program for training counselors to work with Mexican-Americans. Like Thomas, he is an assistant to the dean of men and a resi dence hall counselor. Vickland will work with fresh men students in improvement of learning. A department graduate assistant, 'he was previously a counselor at Huston-Tillotson Col lege in Austin. Julian Caronia and Mary Chilen of the Engineering Extension Service go over a budget. Caronia may have to borrow the adding machine to keep track of his achieve ments in the physical fitness program, in which he has run 400 miles and lost nearly 60 pounds.
