I have read Allen Tingley's column ("PSU doesn't need to teach fitness to college students" Mon., Nov. 1), and I fully agree with what he had said. I don't know what Penn State was like back in '79, but this is the year 2004. We have more students enrolled here on main campus, and trying to schedule a course for the next semester isn't the easiest thing in the world. Scheduling courses for your major is hard enough, but taking time to schedule gym class is too much. We went through 12 years of physical education. As Tingley said, we are adults and should be able to make the responsible decision to take a GHA class.
