The program, conducted in Allen Field House, is designed to teach people how to acquire and maintain cardiovascular fitness. Osness said yesterday.
Exercises, weight lifting and jogging are parts of the three-day-a-week regimen, which includes:

"We REVIEWED literature relating cardiovascular fitness to life styles and then related that literature to good cardiovascular health," Osmess said. "We needed a program that would elicit the changes needed for good cardiovascular health.
"We found out that two things were necessary; to work out three times a week, 30 minutes each session, and to achieve a total of 130-140 beats per minute in 30 minutes."

"Every semester we get a number of students with feet and leg problems." King said. "Knowing how to run, I can advise my patients on the programs they can follow and the adaptations they may need to make in running."
The program is good for weight control and muscle conditioning, she said.

State and private money meets campus beautification expenses
By GERRY O'CONNOR
Staff Writer
Beauty doesn't come cheaply, at least not at the University of Kansas where at least $190,000 will be spent on campus beautification this year.
"We could spend anywhere from $15,000 to $10,000 over that," Harold Hilbrick, supervisor of grounds and landscaping for buildings and grounds, said yesterday. "But the extra money would come from private contributions."
Bilch said most of the money spent on campus beautification came from state appropriations, but some of it came from private contributions.
"No student money is used in this area unless it is given to us as a special gift," he
Bilch said the area east of Wescoe Hall and the area between Lindley and Marvin balls were landscaped with money donated by KU students.
"A NICE LOOKING place makes everybody happy," he said. "It's better that we do."

"Half of the participants have been referred to us by their physicians," Osmaness said.
The program, in its fifth year, was originated for KU faculty and staff members, but since then, it has opened up to anyone who is interested.
The program is from 6:45 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Ages of participants range from 35 to 80 years old, and their physicians are approved to participate.

Supportive Educational Services provides students jobs, tutoring
A variety of tutorial programs exist at the University of Kansas to provide academic help in many subjects to both traditional and nontraditional students.
By PAUL JEFFERSON

Probably the best known tutorial services on campus are provided by the Supportive Educational Services (SES), located in Carruth O'Leary. It is a state and federal university. The SES also provides perclassmen to tutor "culturally disadvan- dated" students who request help.
"WE TRY TO make sure that students who need help the most and could afford it are well prepared."
SES has been accused in the past of providing academic help to blacks only. Lee said that black students received most of the assistance because they had received the poorest quality of education in their high school and failed to receive fewer qualified teachers and poor facilities.
Richard Lee, SES director, said yesterday that all students in the program must meet certain criteria on family size and income to participate in the program. The criteria are determined by the Department of Health Education and Welfare.
Now, he said, statistics indicate that many other disadvantaged groups, including Chicanos, American Indians and many other, are receiving academic aid SES.
MORE THAN 60 people have been tutored since the beginning of the semester, and that number is sure to increase during the semester. he said.
"We try to help as many students as we possibly can under our guidelines," he said. Students are required to attend the student isn't qualified in our system, we refer him to other tutorial services in the University like the Student Senate or the ones offered in the individual depart-
The office also tries to help familiarize new students with many of the resources available at KU. For that reason, SES is encouraging students to participate in security affairs and admissions records.

"THE TUTORS ARE paid on the basis of weekly reports turned in by themselves and their students," he said. "And we have a group to see whether every thing is working OK. But the frequency of meetings is determined solely by the student and his
Lee said that the quality of tutorial help has been good so far, and that the tutors hired must have demonstrated competence in their field of tutoring with at least a B grade point average, and must be able to communicate well.

--to help them through their adjustment period from high school to college." Lee said. "We try to point them in the right direction and help them make effective choices with our career and vocational guidance counselors."
"We have a listing of 50 or 60 students who are willing to serve as private tutors for a small fee, and they come from every school in the University," he said.
For those wishing to reacquire themselves with certain fields of study, or who have been out of school aweek, the student services division of the Office of Continuing Education provides "refresher" courses, to Vilian McMoy, director of the division.
The Continuing Education division has career and guidance counseling for people in all parts of the state through other universities, as well as contacts with businesses who provide on-the-job training for students, McCoy said.
