'Aged' club members jog back into shape
By HOWARD PANKRATZ Kansan Staff Writer
Are you deteriorating? Is that head getting bald and that tummy getting fat? If so, your solution may be Bill Easton and the KU Joggers Club.
Although Easton can't help your bald head he may be able to help you attain your vital capacity and retain some of that youthful zest you're losing at the ripe old age of 30.
Action deferred
Senate committee ok's lottery selection system
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate Armed Services Committee agreed Monday to approve a House-passed random selection draft bill this year and promised to begin hearings on a more comprehensive selective service reform in February.
Chairman John Stennis, D-Miss., said the committee passed a resolution supporting the House lottery system, but making it clear it opposed any attempts to broaden the scope of the measure before it is sent to the President.
Action on the lottery bill itself was deferred until Stennis meets with the Senate leadership, including Democratic whip Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
Kennedy's insistence on broader reform had stalled further action on the lottery bill but last week he agreed to a compromise to get the lottery this year and make sure wider reform would be taken up next year.
Under the compromise, the effective expiration of the Selective Service Act would be moved up from July 1, 1971 to Dec. 31, 1970, forcing Congress to act on the draft next year.

Kennedy had planned to offer amendments to the lottery bill seeking far-reaching changes in the law — particularly to stop selective service boards from using the draft as a device to punish dissenters.
Nearly 400 persons toured the Alumni Association's new offices Saturday morning. The official open house lasted from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
Alumni tour office
The Alumni Association's new offices, located in the Kansas Union's northwest addition, are the headquarters for all alumni and class activities, and the open house was planned to give those returning KU graduates a look at where most of those activities originate. The new offices now, at last, house under one roof all the facilities of the Association, and mark the end of a series of moves of offices around the campus.

"Most of the members of the club are over thirty-five," Easton said. "We certainly would like to encourage those faculty members or students in their late twenties or early thirties to join us. That is when most young men begin to deteriorate."
The joggers meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 4 p.m. at the east door of Robinson Gymnasium. Easton posts a running schedule but the joggers need not adhere to it.
"Ideally joggers should work out four days each week.Those in our group often work out on Wednesday as well as Tuesday and Thursday," Easton said.

Those interested in joining should first have a medical examination according to Easton. To attain vital capacity or the ability to reach a pulse rate of 160 per minute requires hard work and fairly constant exercise. Thus it is imperative that men who have not exercised strenuously in a number of years first be examined by their doctor.
"A person in good physical condition is one who is able to feel
relaxed rather than tired after finishing the jogger's schedule," said Easton. "In completing the program members learn much about themselves and their bodies. Few people today have much awareness of their physiological make-up."
On Satdays Easton conducts a clinic for joggers from northeast Kansas. The aim of the clinic is to encourage the participants to start their own clubs. Lectures and a light lunch comprise the clinic schedule.
