Page 6 OPINION The Clarion | February 2, 2007 Photo by Katie Berube BC students working out in tlie Fitness Center Let's get whimsical by David Ulloa Staff Writer As a student who lives on campus and is one of the village people, I tend to pass Boshamer Gym’s training room everyday at a natural con stancy. When I come back from the cafeteria with my belly full of blissful satisfaction, I go down the stairs, pass the wondrous creek with its beautiful water language that seems to speak to me, while stepping on the warm welcoming creek that leaves me at the mouth of the village area. I open my eyes and run into a compro mising situation that leads me to a couple of questions: should I look at the sweaty people working out in the training room? And why are they looking at me? The clash of the present people who are get ting their extension on and the people who aren’t doing anything but walking to home base is a rendezvous of mad awkwardness. Do the people working out judge me because I am not working out? Do they know something peculiar about my reputation? Or are they caught up in the same predicament? The weirdness just blows my mind and I end up acting like a timid ob server at a carnival. This dilemma could be solved with a few ideas, my friends. Perhaps have high tech video screens over the windows that display the activity inside, projecting a bright a screen filter to the outside that shows awesome special effects through a thermal read ing device. It would be like watching an artsy laser show of progressive fitness at BC. Also for when there are times of sparse exercise and no busy bodies active, have animatronics work ing out in place of real people. Not only does that distract for aesthetic purposes but it also encourages even more fitness amongst the com munity. As I hear rumors about another weight room for the football team, I read only one nerve...let’s put a spinning workout room on top of the Myers Cafeteria. It’s basically the same idea and it would probably attract an in teresting crowd. You’d get your workout be fore or after that meal you want to bum off, and its right downstairs. Hey, I mean this idea isn’t too far away in dream world now, with the new policy about smoking in designated smoker areas. I say since us smokers are already showcased to our sweet endeavor, this video filter idea isn’t too far away from helping people who are ill at ease when they see the Cross Country team perspiring.
