An Irishman asked a Jew, "Why do Jews always answer a question with a question?" The Jew replied, "Why shouldn't we?"

You may ask us at the Gym, "Why fitness?" We can satisfy your curiosity better than a Jew can satisfy an Irishman's.

The only exercise many students get is jumping to conclusions.

Fitness must be considered as a total concept; fitness for living has to include mental health (or fitness) and organic fitness. By exersising regularly resistance to fatigue can be increased, enabling one to sustain concentration for longer periods. The type of fitness training offered at the Gym is for both the sportsman and sportswoman, that he or she may have the ability to participate in his or her sport without undue fatigue and to recover quickly from effort, and for the individual who wants to be able to cope with daily living more efficiently and to have energy left over to cope with daily living more efficiently and to have energy left over to cope with "emergencies", such as running for a lecture, or surviving extra strenuous weekends. By nature of their type of study students are forced to lead a sedentary life, therefore it is an intelligent student who timetables his week to make sure he can get off his 'acre' and attend to other needs of his person.

It is true that people who exercise regularly are capable of greater efforts and resist fatique better er efforts and resist fatigue better than sedentary individuals.

Fitness for every individual is specific and the fitness programmes at the Gym are designed to meet everybody's needs at their own ability level. Promote your feeling of well-being, join a coeducational class (share a shower) in fitness training; why shouldn't you?

Inter-Hostel Games Night

The first ever Inter-Hostel Games evening was held in the gym, Sunday 16th April. About 150 participated in some ping pong type volleyball, social basketball and coffee. Weir were good at both games but most voted Victoria House the best looking team. Enthusiasm knows no bounds and this may become an annual event.
