The Capital Iron at Penn State
Harrisburg is doing all it can to promote
health and fitness among the student body.
The Capital Iron centers around the
weight lifting aspect of physical fitness,
but President Mark Fontanilla said he can
help people who want to be healthy but
don't want to lift weights.
"I'll deal with any fitness-related
question and try to build a program around
your needs," Fontanilla said.
He said he has built programs for
people in the weight lifting club who
wish to get stronger by putting them on a
weight training program. Fontanilla is
experienced with such problems because
he is a personal trainer for Jack LaLanne
Fitness Centers, which is the largest
national health club chain.
If pumping iron is your game, for $lO
you can join the Capital Iron and lift
weights Mondays through Thursdays from
8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the weight room
on the second floor of the Capital Union
Building.
Fontanilla also mentioned that the
Capital Iron buys most of the equipment
that is in the weight room, but the
equipment is not for club members only,
as in most weight clubs.
"We buy about 80 percent of the
equipment that is purchased for the weight
room," Fontanilla said. "But, when we

buy something, it is for the good of the wish to join. If anyone is interested in

cents. The only pleasure I get from the
Den anymore is when the dollar bill
changer actually gives me four quarters
back. Belter odds than Vegas.
With all the money we spend to live in
the "blessed" Heights, why isn't cable
included? The least Penn State could do is
give me the Weather Channel.
Should I be afraid to bare my soul
through an article that the entire student
population might read?
With our exorbitant tuition, why can't
we have decent classrooms with
comfortable chairs, an FM radio station,
or a real library in its own building?
Why do people criticize me when I
don't give blood? Okay, I hate needles. I
sweat the week before doctor visits when I
know I'm gonna "get pricked." But I hate
being chastised for not participating in a
blood drive. I visit children's shelters over
Christmas and I helped build a playground
last year. Don't those count as public
services?
All right, maybe I do too much
thinking while I jog. All I know is that I
have become a different person because of
it. Not better...not worse. Just a more
conscientious person.
Treat yourself to a brisk evening run
around the Heights. You'll feel better
physically and mentally. After you vomit
during the first run or two, you might
even discover some things you never knew
about yourself.
Okay, next week I'll review another
concert or something. Just remember,
something can't be nothing.
Well, in most cases.
