HThe “battle of the bulge' is still
being fought at Texas A&M Univer
sity. In the University’s figure con
trol classes women are learning to
_|e exercise and activities to com
bat fat and tone muscles.
Women in the classes are taught
;(o use universal gym sets, stationary
Ijjcycles, jogging, rope skipping,
d various floor exercises to im-
|ove their general physical fitness.
"Basically what we do is work on
Bw to get in shape and stay in
shape.” said Patricia Husak, an in
structor of the course. “We try to
make this something that will carry
over for a lifetime.
A class period is spent discussing
ious diets, diet techniques and

|“We encourage the women to
cuss diets they’ve tried and the
Success they’ve had,” said Susan
i Wagner, also an instructor.
jj'Wigure control classes were first
mered at Texas A&M in the fall
’ air P' semester of 1972.
■“In 1972 we had one section with
12 people enrolled, said Emil
Mamaliga, associate professor of
health and physical education. “Kay
'Don. who is now the women’s assis-
jant athletic director, taught that
t course.
This semester there are 15 sec-
ns with an average of 30 people in
:h section. There are five instruc-
s for the sections, which meet for
minutes twice a week,

man, a senior. “The way it is now
you don’t have a chance to use all
the equipment in each class
period. ”
The women measure and weigh at
the beginning of the semester and at
the end to see if there are weight
losses and muscle toning.
“I compiled a study last semester
of the 12 sections offered. Husak
said. “There was an average of 30
girls in each section and as a group
450 pounds were lost during the
semester. She added that the study
did not take into account how often
each girl worked out on her own.
“I have my students bring in dif
ferent exercises ideas and we keep
them in a notebook. Wagner said.
“If one wants to concentrate on ton
ing up a certain area she can look at
the notebook for some specific exer
cises.
Most of the women who take the
class want to improve their overall
appearance and become more phy s
ically' fit, said the instructors. But
some women take the course to gain
weight and develop muscles.
