and faculty countless op-

Idy Cook, marketing director

handball, indoor soccer, squash,
badminton and table tennis going
on all the time,” she said.
The Rec Center offers outdoor
activities aside from the swim
ming pool, including outdoor bas
ketball and volleyball. Cook said.
One very popular program is
intramural sports.
Cook said organized, competi
tive sports give students a chance
to excel and meet new friends
with similar interests.
“Intramurals are especially
good for new students, letting
them get involved in a team at
mosphere and competition,” she
said. “It is set up for any fitness
level or competitive levels.”
Cook said the Rec’s sports club
are more competitive in atmos
phere.
“If students wish to learn a sport
in more detail, this is the place,”
she said. “They compete national
ly, and we have several national
champions here at A&M.”
There are also Feature Pro
grams. Students can learn how to
do tai chi, jitterbug, or other ac
tivities that might surprise the ca
sual visitor to the Rec Center.
Flyers for these programs can
be found in the lobby of the Rec
Center.
Cook said there are several pro
grams a week.
Other unique programs include
the Aquatics Program, one of the
newest at A&M, where students
might learn more about swim
ming, diving, CPR or SCUBA div
ing, and the indoor rock climbing
program, which offers instruction
to those seeking to learn the ropes
of the sport.
Although physical activity is
the primary focus of the Rec
Sports organization, exercises of
other sorts are offered on a regu
lar basis.
“We have a lecture series at the
Rec on Wednesday evenings, and
topics cover everything in the area
of wellness issues: from healthy
eating to injury prevention to
health and fitness decisions,”
Cook said.
A social lounge, arcade and
deli also provide chances for stu
dents to socialize, relax, and en
joy their time spent at A&M to
the fullest, and, as Cook reminds
new students, it is all included in
a $50 fee.
As a new generation of Aggies
finds its way around the campus,
the Rec Center and the office of
Rec Sports will continue to offer
more and more opportunities for
students to live more active and
satisfying lives.

“We think the adjustments we made in Sbisa,
like more seating areas, will be enough to cover
everything,” he said.
Meal plans and service hours have been re
tooled as well. Meal plans will be converted from
a per-meal basis to per-semester, and up to one
third of each week’s meals will be available for
use at cash locations such as the Underground
Food Court. The Out
Bound Program will be ex
tended to 8 p.m., and the
Time Out Sports Deli in
the Student Recreation
Center will be open two
hours later than this
spring, until 11 p.m.
Beard said the changes
are designed to give stu
dents more choices in how
to use their meal plans.
“We hope this sort of
flexes the time students
want to eat,” he said. “If
the students want to eat
later they can — instead
of eating breakfast,
lunch, dinner, they can
eat lunch, dinner and a
late snack if that’s what
they want.”
In addition to the changes at Sbisa, a new in
ternational food court is being installed at the 12th
Man Snack Bar that will offer barbecue. Oriental
and Tex-Mex food in addition to the usual fast-
food fare.
The area will be open to students at the start of
the Fall semester, although construction will hot
be completely finished for several more weeks.
