Page 4 • The Battalion Jazzercise Fitness Center Right For Me! Right For You! Aggjelife Tuesday • February ‘(fen After having my second son I could not lose the weight I had gained during pregnancy. No matter what 1 did, it seemed like I was never going to fit into my “pre-pregnancy” clothes. I tried exercising at home, but it is very hard to stay motivated when you are exercising by yourself. At my first visit to Jazzercise Cathy encouraged me to give it a chance, and not to be discouraged when I didn’t see immediate results. Cathy also informed me that it would take about 6 to 8 weeks to see a significant difference. Well, I stuck to Jazzercise and have been going steadily about a year now. It seemed like the more I went the more 1 wanted to go. 1 have met lots of people, had a lot of fun and, hey, I lost 33 pounds! It was work to lose the weight, but it just seemed like “play” instead. Jazzercise offers different types of class es with such a variety of music, so you never get bored. I am so pleased with the results of Jazzercise. I have gone from a size 11 to a size 5! That’s 4 1/2 inches off my thighs and 9 inch es off my waist! Jazzercise has shown me that exercising doesn’t have to be a chore. As long as I am able I will be Jazzercising! Cathy can sign me up.

By John LeBas The Battalion M ost people would agree that Texas A&M is best characterized as a conser vative and Christian institution. Yet diversity and acceptance remain goals of higher education, and a group of A&M students is working to pursue these ends. The Agnostic & Atheist Stu dent Group, AASG, is dedicat to education and philosophiciL^ consideration of religious and 5 other beliefs. The group holds weekly meet ings on Wednesday nights fe turing guest speakers and o discussions on a variety of. ics, from implicit Christianity to free will to concepts of God. Also, AASG speakers talk to campus classes and organizations about atheism and agnosticism. Jamie Henderson, AASG president and a senior English major, said the meetings draw people of many different reli gious persuasions who come to discuss their beliefs or learn about other people’s views. She said many people at A&M don’t understand what atheism and agnosticism involves. “Being an atheist says noth ing about what you think is right or wrong,” she said. “We don’t [promote] any particular ideology or way of living.” Henderson said that in gener al terma-Atheists do not believe do not For' exanilihs'..'

Therefore, humanists have a much more specific set of beliefs than other atheists, she said. Paul Hurst, treasurer of AASG and a senior mathemat ics major, said uninformed peo ple sometimes peg atheists as devil worshippers. “One of the biggest mis® ceptions most Christians havi because they’ve been shelter! from non-Christian society that atheists are Satanists," said. “Atheists don’t even that there is a Satan.” Unlike members of religia. organizations, who often meet discuss and reaffirm common liefs, Ai^G members arero ir^0jS0#Ced in sharing ideas wit ise who may not necessariii agrw with them.
