Judo thrives in KU course, club
The popular practice of Oriental martial arts such as kung fu, several forms of karate and other forms of self defense have been used in the United States for the past few years.
Judo, a sport that has been overshadowed
by the introduction of the other relatively unknown martial arts, is now a credit course and a club at the University of Kansas.
First created last June, the club has grown from 12 students to nearly 60.

Kohei Yamada demonstrates the skill that made him a 1974 national YMCA judo champion on a fellow member of a KU judo club. The club, which has grown to nearly 60 members, turns mere students into judoka, otherwise known as people who practice judo.
Practices at Robinson Gymnasium begin with about 20 minutes of push-ups, sit-ups, jogging and other exercises to loosen up muscles and joints. Judo students spend another 10 minutes after warm-up exercises practicing falling techniques, which allow judo practitioners to land from a throw without injury.
STUDENTS THEN PAIR up with a judoka of equal weight and height and repeatedly throw their partners for the next hour as they learn the various throws.
Dressed in the traditional white thi-
glight jacketts and short trousers, most kU
judoka wear the white belt of the beginner.
The dozen advanced judoka have ranks
ranging from one grade above白 belt up
to prestigious fourth degree black belts.
While senior instructor Hal Grady yells a measured cadence, judu students practice landing by rolling from side to side and using the two-inch thick mat with a straight arm.
Club members also work on matwork, which closely resembles American wrestling, and methods of choking an act accomplished when the person being choked gives up by tapping his adversary on the arm.
A judo class usually ends with about 30 rounds of randen, a five to 10 minute bout on the mat. If you get hurt in each other either by throwing, pinning or choking. Holding the opponent's lapel on his hands, each person tries to move over the mat, balance as they move around the mat.
Practicing Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., KU judoka (people who practice judo) learn basic throws, matwork or knee charying techniques used in sport judo.
THE SOMETIMES SLOW movement of the two opponents is broken up by the frzened action of the two judoka attempting throws and counter-throws. A randoi match ends when one of the two opponents decides he has had enough.
Developed from ju juju, an ancient form of weaponless self defense in Japan, judo was organized as a sport in 1882 in Tokyo. Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, said judo was "the most effective use of both physical and spiritual strength."
Grady and two Japanese black belt instructors teach the class. The two Japanese black belts are similar in style.
TOPEKA-Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan, has pulled even with his Democratic challenger, Rep. Bill Roy, the latest Topeka Capital-Journal poll indicated yesterday.
The poll indicated that Dole and Roy each were favored by 48 per cent of the voters, and Mr. Bush was favored by 40 per cent.

Roy said the poll "is a blessing in that we were getting into a problem of complexity."

PRINCETON, N.J.—President Ford's approval rating has dropped 21 percentage points since he took office, according to the Gallpoll.
The current rating represents the sharpe
direction for any president in his first two
months.
The survey shows half of those questioned saying they approve of the way Ford is handling his job, 28 per cent disapproving and 22 per cent expressing no opinion.
In a poll taken just after Ford took office in August, 71 per cent said they approved of the way Ford was assuming the nation's leadership. Only 3 per cent said they disapproved, and 26 per cent said they were undecided.
The pardon was the chief cause of Fords decline in popularity, and the nation's economy was another important factory, according to the polling organization.
Ford's rating drops markedly
Ford's rating fell off five percentage between the first poll and on taken early by voters.
The latest poll was taken after Ford pardoned former President Nixon on Sept. 8 and before Ford presented his economic program to Congress a month later.
A special poll taken just after the pardon found the public opposed to it by a two-to-one.
Other polls have indicated that most Americans consider the economy to be the nation's biggest problem, and nearly half of the 1930s used a depression such as the one in the 1930s.
Ford retains the approval of a greater percentage of younger adults and Republicans than of older people, Democrats or independents.
American style judo differed from
Japanese style judo.
AMERICAN JUDOKA rely more on strength in their judo while the Japanese use quickness and skill to defeat opponents, Kobei Yamada, a fourth degree black belt and a 1974 national YMCA judo champion, said recently.
Jack Ranson, state Republican chairman, said, "Kansans now see the difference between Bill Roy and Bob Dole, and the difference between Harry Bob Dole back into the U.S. Senate."
"It was the right psychological iolt."
A poll conducted by the Capital-Journal in early September gave Roy 48 per cent of the vote. Dole 43 per cent and 9 per cent undecided.
The poll showed Democrat Martha Keys pulling well ahead of Republican John C. Peterson in a race for the 2nd District seat being vacated by Roy.
held a sizeable lead over Republican State
hold. Robert B. Kennedy was a senator
who benefited from Bennett's baiting.
Democrat Atty. Gen. Vern Miller still
Americans carefully schedule their practice time and use weight machines to improve their judo techniques, which are very good ideas, Yamada said.
The poll indicated that Miller and his lieutenant governor running mate, Sen. Jack Steinerger, were preferred by 47 per cent and favored by 35 per cent. Prohibition Party candidates accounted for 1 per cent, and 17 per cent they were undecided.
Sumio Watanabe, a second degree black belt, said American and Japanese styles of judo differed slightly in the method that they used. Randi Japon, American players take a lower stance than Americans because they sit on the floor in every day life more than Americans.
Yamada, now 25 years old, started to practice judo when he was 9. Practicing every day for one and a half hours, he worked on a dark black belt five years later. Besides that, Yamada said, he acquired self-discipline and self-control from his years of judo training.
In early September the poll showed 33 per cent favoring Miller and Steiner, 3 per cent favoring Bennett and Smith, 1 per cent favoring candidates and 14 per cent undecided.

of the Association xx
RYADH, Saudi Arabia - Secretary of State Henry Trump said yesterday that he had reached "the principles and procedures" toward the next stage of Middle East peace negotiations.
