NBA from 16 Backups James Edwards at center, Dennis "Worm" Rodman at forward and Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson could be starters on other teams. Jo hn "Spider" Sally will replace Mahom at power forward and add more shot blocking ability. The key to the Pistons success may be the motivation of small forward Mark Aguirre to regain his all-star form and, more importantly, the motivation of the team to repeat. They still have one of the best guard tandems in the league. Isiah Thomas can be great when he wants to be and Joe Dumars was only the MVP of the playoffs last year. Look for center Bill Laimbeer to start at least three bench clearing brawls. The rest: 2. Chicago Bulls, 3. Cleveland Cavaliers, 4. Atlanta Hawks 5. Milwaukee Bucks, 6. Indiana Pacers, 7. Orlando Magic. WESTERN CONFERENCE MIDWEST DIVISION San Antonio Spurs will win this division. Sue me for jumping on the bandwagon, but the Spurs have the next dominant center in the NBA. Former Navy center, David Robinson anchors a frontline featuring former Milwaukee star, Terry Cummings and Arizona All-American, Sean Elliot. In the backcourt the Spurs have former Sixer, Maurice Cheeks and the exciting Willie Anderson. Because this is a team with many new players, chemistry may be a problem. Mo Cheeks will solve that problem. In the NBA dominant centers transform losing teams into winners. Robinson may be the most athletically gifted center of all-time. He will carry this team to new heights. The rest: 2. Utah Jazz, 3. Houston Rockets, 4. Dallas Mavericks, 5. Denver Nuggets, 6. Charlotte Hornets, 7. Minnesota Timberwolves. PACIFIC DIVISION Los Angeles Lakers will win this division. Everybody expects the Phoenix Suns to win this division. Wake up folks! The Lakers are still a great team. Kareem's sky-hook is gone, but it was gone last yeir and they made it to the finals. Magic Johnson is only 30 years old and is still the game's best all-around player. Forward James Worthy is a clutch player with a devastating first step. Byron Scott, Magic's backcourt partner, is a long-range bomber. Power forward A.C. Green adds muscle on the boards and is steadily improving r.y Help Wanted!

He will use his passing ability to carve up defenses like a surgeon showing off in front of a new intern.

Hank from 16 Holyfield should wake up, whats the average length of Tyson's last three fights? One round or 90 seconds, which ever comes first? Ask Michael Spinks about his long awaited fight?

SPORTS Aerobics: Amy Blinn Capital Times Staff The fall semester aerobics program is in full swing for another semester. Anyone attending can expect a complete workout of the heart, endurance and high tops. Under the instruction of Penn State Harrisburg students Laura Stickley and Susan Hoover, seven aerobics classes are held each week in the Capital Union Building (CUB). Two levels of classes, low and high impact, are offered. The difference between the two intensity levels is based on the exercise motions and heart beat. "Low impact requires one foot on the floor at all times. The movements are bigger and it doesn't work the heart as much," Laura Stickley said. The workouts are designed to provide a complete aerobic workout with warm ups, low and high intensity routines, "trouble spot" exercises on the stomach, legs and hips and a cool down routine. Although students frequently whimper "it hurts"; "I'm tired"; "this is torture", class participation remains consistent. This seems to be a result of positive attitudes from both the instructors and students. Stickley and Hoover, along with enthusiastic class members, create an atmosphere that is friendly and fun. It's not uncommon to hear "keep it up, your looking good!" during a workout from these two energetic instructors. "When I taught at a club there was no motivation, but the routines we teach here are tailored to the students specific desires, especially the music," Stickley AEROBICS SCHEDULE High Impact Sunday - 6 p.m. Monday & Wednesday - 9 p.m. Tuesday & Thursday - 7:30 p.m. Low Impact Tuesday & Thursday - 5:30 p.m. Second Floor of the CUB to get November 15, 1989, CAPITAL TIMES 1 Working shape said of the high impact classes she offers. Hoover, who teaches the low impact clases, notices that her classes are frequently more by faculty and staff and the high impact classses are attended by more traditional students. "The aerobics program does not just give you exercise, it's a neat place to meet people," she said. Susan Hoover pointed out that the Penn State Harrisburg program is an affordable way to get exercise. "An advantage to our program is that it is free of charge. There is no cost to the participator and the classes are offered frequently." Students have mixed feelings on the success of the program. Some find it meets their expectations. "Its very well organized," commented Amy Killeen, junior-communications major. Others are a bit concerned that the program does not address all the needs of the participators "The instructors should have a better knowledge of the proper way to warm up and cool down from a 20 minute aerobic routine," said Thomas Wendland, a student certified in aerobics instruction. "The participants should be given instruction on proper form and techniques. They should also take responsibility for their own exercise precautions and education," he said. The aerobic program requires no registration and anyone interested may begin at any time. One hour classes are offered on the second floor of the CUB as follows: High impact Sunday 6 p.m., Monday and Wednesday 9 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday 7:30 p.m. Low impact Tuesday and Thursday 5:30 p.m. If you're ready to break a sweat to a popular beat, it is not too late start!
