LETTER: A few tips for gym etiquette

Lacey Schwab

To the editor:

I would like to appeal to the patrons of the Field House. I work out regularly and I think it is time for a review of possible gym ediquette. 1. Please don’t moon fellow gym patrons. Wear shorts that cover your butt, not because I’m a prude but because I’d rather not see quite so much skin. 2. Do not bathe in cologne or perfume prior to coming to the gym. “Pear” scent plus sweat is a disgusting combintion and for those of us actually working out and breathing hard it all amounts to a very grievous headache. 3. If your soul purpose of coming to the gym was to ogle at the opposite sex, could we perhaps designate a congregation area so I could use the machine you’re leaning on? Thank you. P.S. Thanks to the sororities and fraternities for keeping the walks so nice.
