Gentle manners cloak judo champ

Sandra Grady, 1974 Mid-America Women's Juvenile Champion, tosses her brother Jeff with a sweeping hip draw at the KU Juvenile Club. The club is open to both men and women.
Sandra Grady, a 20-year-old Lawrence sophomore, has an easy smile and gentle manners. Maybe that's why she's the 1974 Mid-America Women's Jug champions.

Judo translates as "the gentle way," explained her father, L. Col. Harold E. Lobdow, a teacher at the University and an instructor in the sport at the University of Kansas. Most women become interested in judo because it is a means of exercise and exercise but for Graddy the imputus was more social.
Grady started her judo career five years ago in Germany when her father introduced the sport to her teen club. During her freshman year at the University of Barcelona, she was a 1773 Women's Regional at Barcelona, competing against women from northern Spain.
The Gradys moved to Ft. Leavenworth last fall, and Grady taught judo to about 200 beginners there while attending St. Mary's College parttime.
After winning her Mid-America title in
Kansas City in early April, she went to the First National AUJ Uudo Championships in Phoenix, Ariz, and won her first match there in four seconds. She won her second-round match, also with a toss, but lost in the quarter-finals.
"At first I wasn't too happy with it." Grady said about her performance in the competition, "but the more people told me how good it was, and we were on tournament, the better I felt about it."
There were only five other competitors at the Mid-America tournament, she said, but about 150 competed in the nationals. She said she hoped to do better in her next game, which is Oct. 12 in Little Rock, Ark. About 100 are expected to enter that tournament.
Grady now holds a first-degree degree in kikuyu, but she expects to attain her first degree in medicine.
"11 takes about 10,000 falls to get a black
C. Grad Fallout" and "Sandy has at
least 6 falls."
Advancement in judo is achieved in two ways for women, he said. The first, called
McMurray said the Gatehouse, 24th and Ridge Court route and the Daisy Hill route were the two routes giving the most problems.
"We realize we are having an overcrowding problem and we are in the process of adding more buses and bus hours where they are needed now," he said yesterday.
This will soon be corrected, said Steve McMurray, Norton junior and chairman of the Student Senate transportation committee.
"People are having to wait five or ten minutes for the next bus to come on those roads."
Extra buses to aid crowds
would be taken care of sometime this week.
"Last spring and fall at the beginning of
the semester we had an overload also, but
nothing like this year," he said.
Late for classes because you couldn't get on a bus?
McMurray said the transportation committee, which takes care of financing and scheduling campus buses, considered ad-hoc plans for campus buses decided to leave the routes as they were.
He said the shortage of seating space
McMurray said an unexpectedly large enrollment this fall and bad weather had caused more students than usual to ride the buses and had resulted in a bus shortage.
"Advancement through competition—the way Sand has chosen—is much quicker," he said.
"This semester we will study in depth existing routes," he said, "and any changes that have been made."
kata, is demonstrating the correct form without an attacker; the other is through
McMurry said that another bus could be added on to each of the five routes.
Unikil many women athletes, who excel in more than one sport, Grady has achieved prowess in baseball.
Although she is only 5-4 and weighs 128 pounds, Grady said she liked to practice against men because she thought it gave her an edge when competing against women.
"I like a lot of other sports," she said, but "judo is the only one I'm any good at." Gradys, judo is a family affair. Her mother taught her judo and her two brothers, Jeff, 18, and Steven,
22, all practice judo. Steven is a judo instructor in the Air Force.
But, he said, the committee will add just enough bases to solve the problem.
Grady said she had never competed against Steven but she had been able to throw Jeff a couple of times during their work-outs with tools. Jeff, also, is an ikku.
When asked if she had ever been able to do it, Ms. White said "Maybe I will be able when about 80".
New brassieres test for cancer
CHRISTIANS (Others Invited Also)
TUCSON, (AP) - Tattle-tale brassieres will soon be tested by women to see whether they can detect breast cancer at its earliest and most curable stage.
The special circuits in the temperature sensors were developed by physicists and engineers at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.
Special sensors in the bras will record the temperature of breast tissue. A malignant tumor may raise the temperature of surrounding tissue.

So He Takes His Pants Stop At Lawrence Surplus.
You really can't blame him.
He's Interested in better mileage.
That's why he rides bicycles.
That's why he wears Levis.
Because he knows his Levi's like his bicycle, will last him longer and cost him less.
Why does he buy them at Lawrence Surplus?
Yes, he's pedaling a long distance.
How far are you going?
Because he knows Lawrence Surplus has over 15,000 pairs of Levi's, giving him a better chance of finding the kind of jean he wants, in the color and size he needs.
