GC Students Win Right
to Use Baruch Gym

James Trimarco
After literally years of negotiations, stalling and downright moaning about the future of a fitness center at the Graduate Center, VP for Student Affairs Matthew Schoengood has worked out a compromise: while there will be no fitness center at the GC, our students may use the fantastic Baruch fitness center at a discounted price.
Baruch College is a CUNY campus located at the corner of 25th street and Lexington Avenue. Baruch’s Athletic and Recreation Center (ARC) is a large, first-class fitness center complete with cardio machines, weights and even a swimming pool. Out-of-shape graduate students beware: your excuse for your wormlike physique has just expired!

The Graduate Center’s trial relationship with Baruch College officially begins on February 1, 2005. After that date, students registered at the GC may become members of the ARC for $50 instead of the general non-student price of $100. In order to take advantage of this offer, you will need to obtain from the Registrar’s office a certification of enrollment to present to the ARC Facilities Director. Membership will require completion of paperwork at Baruch along with payment of $100 for the year (or, beginning February 1, 2005, of $50 for the Spring semester).
