Whatever the assignment, Pilot has the formula
for writing comfort and precision.
Pilot’s Better Ball Point Pen, in medium and fine points,
lets you breeze through long note-taking sessions. In fact,
we’ve made writer’s fatigue a thing of the past! This crystal barreled
veteran of the campus has a ribbed finger grip for continuous comfort
and is perfectly balanced for effortless writing. Best of all, you’ll never
throw it out because it’s refillable.
The perfect teammate to the Better Ball Point Pen is Pilot’s
Pencilier 0.5mm mechanical pencil. It has a continuous lead feed
system and a cushion tip that helps eliminate the frustration of lead
breakage. The Pencilier’s jumbo eraser does the job cleanly while
the ribbed grip offers the same comfort as the Better Ball Point Pen.

Weekend athletes should use
caution, P.E. instructor reports
Vandr
By Susan C. Akin
Reporter
Students trying to juggle their
hectic schedules to include workout
time may find the weekends are
their only hope for physical activity,
but problems can arise when these
“weekend atheletes” neglect safe,
regular physical fitness techniques,
says a Texas A&M exercise science
technician.
“A weekend athlete is someone
who works out on weekends with
out any real preparation during the
week,” says Bob Lowe, head labo
ratory technician in A&M’s health
and physical education depart
ment’s ex;cercise science lab.
“They tend to work out sporadi
cally, not following any kind of reg
ular excercise program,” Lowe says.
“When you work out sporadically,
you open yourself up to injury.
Your body is not conditioned prop
erly for the stress.”
A recent Gallup survey on week
end athletes shows doctors treat
three times as many sports-related
injuries among weekend athletes
than among athletes in organized
sports, according to a pamphlet
published by the Texas Beef Indus
try Council.
“It’s hard to make any general
recommendations as to an individu
al’s regular fitness program without
sitting down with them and dis
cussing their situation,” Lowe says.
“But one thing to keep in mind is if
you don’t do things with proper in
tensity and regularity, you won’t
progress or make any gains.”
To make gains in physical fitness,
Lowe explains, an athlete needs to
work out several times a week in
stead of only once or twice a week.
He recommends calisthenics,
walking, swimming or low-impact
aerobics for beginners.
Calisthenics, swimming, cycling
or advanced aerobics are recom
mended for intermediates.
Weight training is recommended
for someone wanting to gain mus
cle.
Another must for any athlete is a
proper diet.
“Athletes should eat a well-bal
anced, healthy diet low in fats,”
Lowe says.
“And if you’re eating a well-
founded diet you don’t need
supplements.”
“Even professional athletes don’t
need supplements,” he says. “They
eat enough of the proper foods to
get all of the nutrients they need.”
Stretching is another essential
for a successful workout.
Lowe recommends a simple se
ries of steps to be followed at every
workout.
“First, any athlete should stretch
out all muscles that will be used dur
ing the workout,” Lowe says. “Static
stretching — a constant, even stretch
— should be performed, not a
bouncing stretch.
“Second, some loosening-up
exercises should be done — an easy
version of the activity itself. Then
work out in your particular activity.
After the workout, do the loosen
ing-up exercises again to cool
down. Finally, stretch out as in the
beginning.”
Lowe says better flexibility means
better performance to a certain ex
tent.
“It can also reduce soreness and
tightness you could experience lat
er,” he says. “If you’re starting a
regular fitness program, you may
have some initial discomfort. But
after the first few workouts you
don’t have to worry about that as
much.”
Lowe advises students to take ad
vantage of organized sports in the
intramural and extramural pro
grams at A&M. They encourage
students to devote more time to
working out safely and make it fun
at the same time.
