William J. Brennan, NOAA pub lic affairs spokesman, said 400 birds were released Sunday in Cheyenne, Wyo., but only 30 returned to North Platte, Neb., the following day. Also on Sunday, only half of 400 pigeons released for a race in Texas reached their home lofts. But on Saturday, the Rocky Mountain Flyers Homing Pigeon Club released a number of birds in Brewster, Kan. All arrived in Denver with no losses. Brennan speculated the differ ence was geomagnetic activity. He said there was no geomagnetic activ ity Saturday, but there was a major geomagnetic storm Sunday. “Scientists theorize that pigeons use the Earth’s magnetic field as a navigational aid, and that during ge omagnetic storms their sensing mechanism becomes confused, caus ing them to lose their way,” Brennan said.

Lite two have gone from fad to trend to an integral part of the American life style. And the growing number of exercise technology majors at Texas A&M rellects the increasing em phasis on physical fitness. “Five years ago, 1 wouldn’t have known whether the fitness craze was a lad,” said Dr. Stephen Crouse, as sociate professor of physical educa tion at A&M. “But today, it has sur passed that stage. There is great significance in physical fitness.” file number of exercise technol og) students here has grown from 25 students in early 1982 to about 90 students this year, said Rusty Higham, lecturer in the health and physical education department. The exercise technology program lias the potential f or being one of the best in the country, said Higham. Higham attended a national fit ness conference in Wisconsin last week. He said the A&M exercise technology program is recognized professionally nationwide. (lav Seineuerle, a sophomore, said she entered the exercise technology program because it oilers many dif ferent career _ _ * portunities. “People will always want to keep their bodies in shape,” she said. Exercise technology has been a non-teaching program in the De partment of Health and Physical Ed ucation for five years. The exercise technology curriculum covers pre ventive and rehabilitative exercise, providing specialized training in car diac rehabilitation and corporate fit ness. It emphasizes exercise testing using devices such as treadmills and underwater weighing tanks.

"Our program is important be cause it includes practical learning experience to build students’ confi dence before leaving for their inter nships and on to professional ca reers," Higham said. A student internship is required the semester before graduation. Stu dents interested in cardiac rehabili tation usually work in hospitals. Those interested in corporate fitness work in a company’s fitness facility — usually fitness testing or in man agement, Crouse said. “Internships provide excellent on- the-job experience,” Crouse said. “It lets the students apply all they’ve learned here.” Crouse said he forecasts an in crease in demand for exercise tech nology graduates, but he believes the job market will inevitably reach a sat uration point.
