570 pigeons
lost during
bird races
United Press International
BOULDER, Colo. — The Na
tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad
ministration said Wednesday a geo
magnetic storm may have caused the
loss of hundreds of homing pigeons
during races in three states last
weekend.
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.

Exercise technology grows
with physical fitness trend
By LINDA ROWLAND
Reporter
Exercise and physical fitness. 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. Man
agement classes and a marketing

class are required also.
"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.
