Jim Ryun, former KU and world record holder of the mile and 1500 meters, holds his new book, an autobiography called 'In Quest of Gold' by Ryun signed on June 28.
Ryun story a hot seller nationwide
By DAVID LASSITER Staff Reporter
Jim Ryun sat hunched behind a small card table sign copies of his new book, "In Quest of Gold." His fans greeted him and begged him to sign just one more.
After 2½ hours of signing his name, he continued to smile — even though his back ached from sitting and his hand Was cramped with fatigue. Ryun, a born-again Christian, signed each book the same way.
ryan, the former KU and world track star, autographed copies of his book on Saturday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the Cross Reference书店, store 711 W. 23rd St.
"I wrote the book to tell the story about a man who got involved in sports and found out that sports didn't have all the answers." Ryan said. "I really don't want to tell anyone than that because I don't want to ruin the story."
Ryun's first book, "Charlies of Fire,
and a Christian Message for Today," was
written in 1928.
RYUN, WHO GRADUATED from the University of Kansas in 1971, participated in the Olympic Games three times — in 1964, 1968 and 1972.
In the 1972 Munich games, he was favored to win the gold medal in the 1500-meter race, but his hopes were dashed when the finish line was a golden race.
Ryan protested, saying another runner had caused the fall. But the Olympic committee refused to reinstate him in the Games.
Ryun, who lives outside Lawrence, began work on "In Quest of Gold" 12 years ago. Four years ago, he elicited the help of a teacher from the Phillips to help pull the book together.
"Mike's help was really an answer to praver," Rvun said.
PHILLIPS LIVED WITH the Ryuns for a month while working on the book, Ryan said. Phillips spent 18 hours a day looking through their new paper clippings of Ryun's track career.
The book was published Sept. 1 by Harper & Row Publishers. Within one week of the first printing, all 15,000 copies had been sold. The second printing also is sold out, and Harper & Row has begun a third printing, he said.
The book is being distributed nationally in 1,500 Walmebooks and B Dalton
Ryun said his official promotion of the book is just starting and initial book sales have made him excited about getting started.
Ryum was told that he should have written the book after the 1972 Olympics to explain his experience.
"THIS IS ONE of the first official signations that I have had," he said, "but I usually sign from 10 to 200 books after each road race that I am in."
However, he said that he did not write the book to make money, but that if he had, he still would have written it now because interest in his story was growing.
Promoting his book has kept Ryan busy. He still finds time to run 80 to 90 miles a week, and he likes to do it on the road.
long-distance road race every other week all over the country.
He recently ran in a 10-kilometer road race in San Diego along with 8,000 other runners. Ryan said he did fairly well to finish in fourth place.
WHEN HE HAS time, Ryun transs with the KU track team. He said that he greatly respected head coach Bob Timmons and that he liked to work with Timmons and his staff.
He enjoys the camaraderie between the team members, he said. When he can, he helps the student athletes by sharing his personal experiences with them.
Ryum travels frequently while doing publicity work for various companies such as Nike. He often takes his family with him on his out-of-town journeys.
Coalition's poll method questioned
By JOHN HANNA

A poll conducted by a coalition of candidates in this fall's Student Senate elections last week led to a written complaint to the Senate Elections Committee.
In the complaint, Philip Duff, School of Architecture and Urban Design senator, has objected to the way one student was polled. He says it is indicative of improper use of Senate forms.
Chris Admussen, presidential candidate for the Fresh Vegetables Coalition, said yesterday that he and four other students last week conducted a random poll of 250 students at local tavernas, the Kansas Union, in front of Wesco Hall and over the phone.
Students were asked to sign a form that listed their name, address and student identification number in the poll designed to determine whether students would use a bus that ran until 12:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Duff filed a written complaint on Wednesday. he said he had witnessed a poll worker drop out of the polling place.
BUT DUFF SAID one student who was interviewed was asked to sign a sheet that actually was a form used **f** candidates to collect signatures to run for office.
"It looks like misrepresentation to me," he said.
Admunssen said yesterday that he had conducted the interview that Duff said he had
The words "University of Kansas Student Senate" were blacked out at the top of the form that he had used. Admissmen said He did not have time to type his own, he said.
"I'm new at this," Admissions said. "I figured if I scratched out Student Senate, it
THOM DAVIDSON. ELECTION Committee chairman, said such an act could lead to a candidate's removal from the ballot. But the chairman has not yet said he is not overly concerned about the situation.
Duff said yesterday that he had been concerned that the Fresh Vegetables Coalition might use the signatures to get its central or presidential candidates on the ballot.
Admissen said that candidates running for Senate seats with the Fresh Vegetables Coalition would pay a $3 filing fee instead of collecting signatures.
Davidson said that Admissen had already tied as a presidential candidate and that the candidates had been unanimous.
SENATE RULES SAY that senatorial candidates must either collect 50 signatures
"I have no reason to take Phil Duff's word over Chris or Chris' over Phil's," Davidson said. "I haven't had any further complaints."
from students in the professional school that
they want to represent, or pay a $7 filing fee.
Admussen called the complaint premature.
He had asked for each student's name, address and student identification number to be mailed.
Of the students polled, most said they would use a late night bus on the weekends.
The late-night bus is the Fresh Vegetables Coalition's proposal for making the campus safer for students.
About 88 percent of the students polled said they would use a bus that ran until 12:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sundays. About 12 percent used a bus that sounded bolt, and about 1 percent were undecided.
'WE DON'T WANT to do this if people don't want it.' Admission said 'I think we need to have a better way'.
The coalfair also has proposed a bus route that runs by residence halls and 14 Lawrence taverns. Adminsmen said. The bus also could be used by students who had had too much to drink and needed a ride to their residences, he said.
"Drunk driving is a problem too," he said. "I'd like to see us do something here at University of Kansas."
Editors want Regents acts investigated
Admissen said he did not know how much a late-night bus would cost, but he said he thought local taverns would be willing to help subsidize it.

Two newspaper editors on Friday asked the Kansas attorney general to determine whether the Board of Regents had violated the state open meetings law this summer by discussing program cuts at Emporia State University without notifying the public.
Ray Call, managing editor of The Emporia Gazette, and Davis Merritt Jr., executive editor of the Wichita Eagle-Eacon, said in a letter to Attorney General Robert T. Stephan that they thought a Regents subcommittee had "deliberately and consistently violated our rules on meeting law" during three meetings this summer. The editors called for an investigation.
Wendell Lady, Regents, chairman, said Thursday that he had appointed the threemember subcommittee during the summer to examine Emoria State's programs. Lady said he had appointed the subcommittee because he wanted Gov John Carlin's 1985 budget proposal to include a plan for Emoria State.
THE REGENTS LEARNED in June that $1.1 million would be permanently cut from Emporia State's budget because of declining property taxes. The Regents do not meet in July and August.
The subcommittee met three times during the summer with Emporia State President Robert Glennen and came up with a plan that would allow all students in science graduate programs at the school.
"I felt it critical that a plan be developed in time to present to the governor so he could present it to the Legislature." Lady said. "The president, the anterior motives and no intent to hurt ESU."
Representatives of the Emporia State faculty and student body attended Thursday's Regents meeting in Wichita to protest the program cuts and the manner in which they had been planned. The Regents held a closed session of the plan until their November meeting.
AT FRIDAY'S REGENTS meeting in Wichita, the Regents voted to ask the Kansas Legislature to release nearly $700,000 in extra student fees to the University of Kansas for the financing of two remodeling projects at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The University expects to receive the extra money because 686 more students than expected enrolled this fall. KU officials say that they are students to enroll for the spring semester also.
In recent similar situations, KU and the Regents have not had much luck convincing the Legislature to release the money, some administrators said last week.
Because KU had not planned in its budget for an enrollment increase, the Legislature must release the extra money before the University can spend it.
ROBERT COBB, EXECUTIVE vice chancellor, said Friday that if the legislature did not release the money for this year, the money would be used next year.
"It does not disappear," he said. "It will be used to estimate student fees for the [b]ay."
The Regents also approved the switching of several funds between projects at the College of Health Sciences.
Money left over from the installation of an air conditioning system in the psychiatric gymnasium at the college was switched to help pay for tuck-pointing and waterproofing on the exterior masonry of the Eleanor Taylor Building.
Tuck-pointing is the removal and replacement of old mortar in brickwork.
The scheduled presentation of proposals for renovation of the Kansas Union were presented at the convention.
Also on Friday, the Regents voted to deny degree-granting status for The Way College in Emporia, citing an inadequate number of full-time faculty members and administrators and insufficient degree levels of instructors. The college had asked permission to grant bachelor's degrees in biblical studies.
