A pink treadmill was installed last week in the Morris Recreational Center to raise money to cure breast cancer.

Cybex, the company that built the machine, will donate 10 cents for every mile run on the treadmill over the course of the month.

Graphic designer for Cybex Nellie Stepamove said several pink treadmills were created and placed at colleges all across the country. She said she was not sure why A&M-Commerce was chosen as one of the schools.

Calls to the marketing department to find out why the treadmill was installed were not returned at press time.

Student Supervisor Aaron Kinney said the treadmill is being used regularly.

"There have been people on the thing all the time," he said.

Cybex will remove the machine at the end of the month.
