Ford rejects job offers
President Gerald R. Ford's recent surprise announcement that he would seek the Republican Presidential nomination caught quite a few veteran White House observers off guard, according to a high White House source.
The source, Carleton Jennings Hume III, scion of a wealthy
COMMENT
New England family, has been a high White House source since the Kennedy administration. Hume refused to be identified
The source said that, contrary to popular expectations, Ford did not endorse (How else does a president consider?) other job offers.
One of the offers the source said, was to replace E. A. Carey, "I'll cry you" force; in men's magazine meerscham ads,
The President has also been considering devoting much of his time to the Transmogrificational Meditation Society, of which he recently became a member, according to the source. Ford's mantra is said to be "Oh-peck."
The President also allegedly is working on a new book which will be coauthored by Ralph Nader. The book is a study of the nation's economic problems and is tentatively titled "Unsure at Any Speed."
The best offer made to the President was a plan to have himself remaigned to the presidency, the source said.
According to the source, Ford said that, given the mediocre Democratic candidates already hateless and running, this move would certainly save millions of dollars of the taxpayers' money.

It's bad enough that the athletic corporation repeats its tiresome complaints about not having enough money and having too many limitations. There is probably no unit of the University of Kansas that is comfortable, funded, and there are unanimously few pictures picture themselves as absolutely indispensable to the wellbeing of the school.
To the Kansan Editor:
I cannot accept the embarrassingly specious objections of our coach, whose universe is plainly a pre-polemical one in which we are surrounded around intercollegiate football.
He objects to using films to scout forcometrading adversaries because he can't tell how high his kickers bite the ball. Come on, Mr. Moore, is it really that important? Relative to books in the library or to research equipment, is it that important?
So I can understand, if not agree with, the corporation's constant cravings for a greater size of office. But, however, the seeming inconsistency of publicizing last semester the huge deficit of the corporation and at the same time obeyed rules designed to help reduce such deficits.
Instructor arrested

Faculty member raps Moore
Thea Lynn Clark, assistant instructor of English, was arrested Thursday and charged with possession of a controlled substance, according to Lawrence police
Police had been called to Clark's residence at 415 Elm St. shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday by a friend of Clark's who said Clark had passed out.
After Clark was revived at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, she was returned to her residence and police obtained a search warrant.
Police seized a number of syringes generally used by diabetics, seeds and unidentified powders that they said they thought were heroin and cocaine.
Clark was released from the Douglas County jail Friday after she posted $10,000 bond. She is to appear for arraignment at 4 p.m. Friday in Douglas County Court.
Motorists envy, despise joggers

Something happens to a certain type of personality when it is closed in the steel and glass capsule of the motor car. Aggressions are unleashed. Simmering discontent
The long-distance runner isn't always lonely. Sometimes he has more company than friends, and he swerves suddenly, forcing him to the ditch or curb. Or those who scare him with a blast of the horn or a roar of the engine. A few seem to want to run, while some are worse, wrongly on the road.
COMMENT
Joggers and trackmen have been badly cut by glass from flying beer bottles. They have been hit by thrown cans. A ruler or a compass was thrown, probably was missed by a tire iron last year.
becomes a hostile display. The fist is
awake, secure in a blue cloud of exhaust
A few weeks ago on Mission Road in Prairie Village, a car cut a corner, just missing a runner who shouted in alarm, and the middle-aged driver leaped out.
and roared off, perhaps to meditate on the agility of the long-distance runner.
"What did you say?" he yelled, and hit the runner on the side of the head with his fist. The lad delivered a quick karate kick in front of the crowd, then drove side street. The driver got back in the car.
Nothing seems to make this personality go berserk quicker than the sight of a lithe, lean body jogging along the street. Something snaps.
Another college athlete, loping along Johnson Drive in Mission, was passed by a man in a large white Cadillac. The car stopped. As the young man drew drearest he could see the driver, red-faced and mouth open, apparently shouting, and inaudible behind the glass. The boy thought he was having a heart attack and the window could help. The window glided down and from the soundless mouth issued a roar:
"Get your f----a- out of the street."
The boy flashed a signal and ran on. Siron and red lights. The policeman asked what was the trouble. The runner was told that he needed treatment for displaying an "obscene gesture."
Runner: "Officer, I think this man should be given a breathalyzer test."
*rolieman*: "Have you been drinking?"
*Driver*: (Sweating from open window)
"Only a couple at my club. Nothing unusual."
The jerk was running in the street. Haul him.
Policeman: "In the street or at the edge?"
Driver: "No difference. He was in the car and up there and he was. No business in the car."
Policeman: "Both of you go home. You (to driver) watch the drinks and you (to passenger) leave."
Why do they run in the streets? Most casual joggers can get their exercise on a high school track or on side streets. But serious track people will run 10 to 16 miles a day in preparation for a meet and from 6 to 10 miles a day in the off season to stay in shape. They would go to a cross-circuiting a track for 10 miles, or staying in the neighborhood.
Anyway, some say, running is a joyful
thing not only for the muscles and the mind,
but also for the soul.
The hostility isn't limited to urban streets. A track team at a Kansas college jogging along a country road was decorated by a stream of yellow dust from a pickup truck. The crowd, including children and halted and two men were waiting with baseball bats. The runners dispersed.
sounds and smells over a variety of territories.
Some of the jogger-watchers are good natured. Girls occasionally shout, "Hi, sexy!" and amiable drunks will run along for a few steps, offering the runner a beer or a cigarette. Others will call out, "Hup, 2, 3, 4," or ask, "Who you chaniss?"

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP)—Tom Watson of Kansas City won the British Open golf championship yesterday on the final hole of an 18-hole playoff when Australian Jack Newton missed a tying par putt by inches.
Watson, 25, finished the extra round in one-under-pair 71, held a 30-foot chip shot for an eagle on the 14th to take a one-shot lead, then bogeyed the 18th, tying him with his 25-year-old Australian challenger going into the 18th.
Watson victor in British Open
inevitable. Sometimes it must be the natural jealousy, the old feel toward the young or the dislike generated in the sedentary toward the active. Look at that idiot out there. A strange presence. A pedestrian. A runner! Get him!
There sits the driver, ensconced behind his 350 horsepower, florid,申购, short of breath. Cigarette sting stings his eyes. The aftertaste of a drink is sour in his mouth. He bites into a fat but lean. Tanned. Obviously self-disciplined. What an affront!
It was the fourth time since World War II that the British Open went to extra holes.
The editor of the magazine, "Runner's World," Joe Henderson, thinks that some people who work hard all day at physical activity are more susceptible to strenuously for the fun of it. They see running as an intellectual white-collar sport, a smoblish display or unnecessary exertion. Why that punk ought to be on a list? What can one do on a set of socks in a hot car. A real weirder.
But even Henderson doesn't divide the good and bad people of the world between runners and riders. He can understand why people got mad the time he accidentally ran up a steep hill, because of his own or why a farmer was unhappy when his cows left through an open gate.
But mostly the runners seem to be innocent targets of a violent impulse that is stirred by atavistic fears of what is different and strange, and therefore threatening. Envy can accelerate the destructive urge of mankind in some way carried out with impunity. In the end, the runner may win, but only when the planet has given up its last drop of oil.

You object, Mr. Moore, to reducing the number of assistants coaches from ten to eight. Surely you could make do with only eight. The University student-faculty ratio is well above 15 to 1. And of course reducing the number of traveling players would reduce your "depth." It would reduce the depth, and the expenses, of every other team you play. You would just have to make sure you chose the right 48. Mr. Moore.

Finally, I find spending $6,000 a season to quarter the team in Topeka before a supposedly "home" game absolutely, grotesquely wasteful. Everybody has to play on the field in Topeka Moore. You can't escape in Topeka. Or would you recommend shipping out the
I can understand that rich, powerful schools who field perennial winners might object to the proposed rules because they would have something to lose. But a school should not use them. And whose team lost to OU's third string last year ought to be a good thing when it sees it. The proposed rules would mean that next year OU would have to beat us with only their first and second strings. I hope that at least the faculty representative considers the best interests of the University as a place at the Chicago convention next month.
