Tom Shuffie of Northwich, England, has a world record for charming earthworms. John Juranitch, of Ely, Minn., has one for shaving his head with an ax.
Now, members of the Chi Omega sorority, 1345 W. Campus Rd., and Alpha KappaLambda fraternity, 2021 Stewart Ave., hope to be able to join the team, said Carrie Bloo, a Chi Omega member.
The two greek houses will try to impress the editors of the Guinness Book of World Records by getting as many KU students as possible. In a play, a children's mimicking game on Spy,
Organizers say they expect more than 2,000 people to participate in the game, which will begin at 3 p.m. in front of Allen Field House.
Officials with the Guinness Book of World Records in New York City said yesterday that they had never heard of massive Simon Says games, but that they would take the results of the event for possible inclusion in their annual record book.
"We've had all kinds of activities like this that people do," said Cyd Smith, assistant editor for the book. "I've got calls from people claiming to have the longest conga line, the biggest 'twister' game and the largest musical chairs game. Nothing ever surprises me."
Participants in the game will pay $2 in advance or $2.50 on the day of the game. Tickets will be available next week at Alpha KappaLambda and Chi Omega and on Wescoe Beach. The $5,000 expected to be raised from the game will be donated to the Cancer Research Center at the University
of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
In Simon Says, a leader tells a group of people to do certain tasks such as touching their toes. The group follows the leaders command only if he says, "Simon Says" before the command. If anyone in the group follows a command and "Simon Says" is not mentioned, he or she is eliminated from the game.
The last person left in the game will win a round trip for two to Chicago. Several prizes donated by local merchants will be given to the final 20 contestants.

Area runners ready for race season

It's fall again. The air is crisp, the leaves are turning and runners are training for road races.
There are many 10-kilometer and shorter road races in the Lawrence and Kansas City areas that runners are gearing up for this fall. How do runners decide which races to run?
"This might sound silly, but a lot of runners look at the T-shirt," said Dave Williams, Overland Park senior. "If it's a chinty T-shirt, then a lot of runners won't come back."
Williams, who runs in 10-kilometer races,
said the reputation of the race is important to runners. A low-quality T-shirt given by a race is a sign of a race without a high-
reputation.
replied. Also, he said runners considered what the weather would be like when the race was run, and the time of day. In addition, they look for a course that isn't hilly if they are trying for a personal best.
"A lot of people think it's crazy to roll out of bed at 8 a.m. to run, but it can be kind of a social thing." Williams said.
San Francisco, manager of the Athlete's Foot, 942 Massachusetts St., said he liked the social aspect of running, too.
"It's fun to get to know people who put the race on," he said. "Most of the people are pretty friendly during the race and after."
Schaffer said that when he used to run races, he ran four to six miles every other day to prepare.
coach, said the recreational runner who ran in 10-kilometer races should run 35 miles a week, but running competitively for longer distances required from 70 to 100 miles a week.

To avoid injuries, runners should stretch properly, buy good shoes designed for their style of running and not run on hard surfaces every day, Fereshetian said.
Races coming soon:
■ Tomorrow: Pomona Lake Fun Festival Dam Run, four miles, Pomona Lake.
■ Monday: The Phidippides 8-Kilometer Classic Roadrace and One-Mile Fun Run, Westport, Kansas City, Mo.

Dormant psych honor group re-forms
Staff writer
By VALOREE ARMSTRONG
The KU chapter of Psi Chi, which 65 years ago became the first chapter of the national honor society in psychology, is regrouping after four years of inactivity.
Patricia Schoenrade, the society's faculty sponsor, said yesterday that she had received letters and phone calls from about 30 interested students. An organizational meeting is scheduled for 4:30 p.m., Sept. 16 in 547 Fraser Hall.
Schoenrade, assistant professor of psychology, said revitalizing Psi Chi was a positive move.
"Students feel a need to communicate with others in their major," she said.
wHiR Psi Chi members must either have completed eight hours in psychology, or six hours if they currently are enrolled in two hours. Also, they must be in the top 35 percent of their class and have a 3.0 grade point average or better in psychology courses.
The one-time membership fee is $25.

At the national level, Psi Chi sponsors research competitions, recognition programs and conventions.
Stephanie White, Humboldt junior,
agreed. "I'm interested because I want to
meet more people interested in the same field." White said.
Brian Hobbs, Shawnee junior, said that other groups, such as engineers, had clubs where they could socialize and share ideas, and he agreed that psychology enthusiasts needed one, too.
"We psychology students don't really have time to get together and talk." Hobbs said. "I know there are a lot of people in psychology classes, but it doesn't make an influence. It's a good thing when you get a lot of people together to brainstorm."
In 1922, the University of Kansas became the national society's first charter member.
