Joggers club welcomes all
With the arrival of spring weather, wouldn't you like to be more alert and possess more get-up-and-go? If so, the Jayhawk Joggers can help you get back into the swing of things.
The Jayhawk Joggers club, member Bill Easton, assistant professor of physical education said, is a program of group jogging. The ultimate goal is to get people to find out the worth of the program to them individually and then continue to jog on their own.
Members of the club, whose ages and sexes vary, run about every other day, Easton said. An individual schedule is posted and then each member jogs as long and as hard according to his own judgment. There is no pressure, he said.
"We make it available; all you have to do is have the desire, discipline and minimum equipment to do a good job for yourself," he said. "It is not a push program; you work to your own capacity."
Running is a basic requirement to all physical fitness, Easton said. Fitness is not a frame of mind or just a sound body. It is a "sound mind in a sound body."
"Fitness is the ability to meet situations with an open mind, critically evaluate and be creative in a solution," he said.
"Jogging, which is simply having both feet off the ground at one time," Easton said, "activates the circulatory and respiratory system."
He said jogging was very important and that it was one of the finest things that could be done. Some end results he listed were improvement of over-all general health, extension of life, a stronger musculature system, redistribution of weight and improvement of general appearance and mental attitude.

Jogging originated in New Zealand where a physical fitness program was established by Arthur Lydiard. It appeared in the United States at the University of Oregon when coach Bill Bowerman set up a similar program. Of recent date a book, "Aerobics" by Kenneth Cooper, has come out. He is a top man in the milli-
tary field who has run thousands of fitness tests on military men.
Easton said jogging had not caught on at KU like it should because people felt that they were too busy.
"We are anxious to have new people," he said. "Anybody can come down. It is important to remember, though, that nobody should do this without first being medically fit," he said.
Kansas revenue increase no match for income tax bite
Kansas residents have a heavier tax burden than those in most neighboring states, according to a study published in the current Kansas Business Review published by the University of Kansas School of Business.
Kansas exceeded the national growth rate in population, but per capita income did not equal the national mean. Kansas was above the national average in per capita property tax collections, but it's growth rate fell below the national figure for per capita state and local government revenues from their own sources.
In addition to Kansas, residents of Iowa have a heavier tax burden than their neighbors in Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma or Texas.
The study was an analysis of revenue flows for state and local governments in the mid-western states. The authors, Eugene Drzyciamski, a former KU faculty member, and James Bell, of Northern Illinois University, studied population and income trends, per capita revenues, revenues relative to personal income and priorities of revenue allocation during the three-year period 1965-1968.
In addition, Kansas was the
only state in which the money received by state and local governments from the federal government did not increase.
Nation's jobless exceeds average
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The nation's unemployment rate rose in March to its highest level in nearly five years-4.4 per cent—and exceeded the 1970 average predicted by President Nixon's chief economic adviser, government spokesmen said.
The report also noted that one million more workers are out of jobs now than when Nixon took office nearly 15 months ago, an increase of 36 per cent. The number of jobholders rose by only 2.4 per cent during the same period.
The jobless rate last month rose by 0.2 per cent and edged past the 4.3 per cent which Paul W. McCracken, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, said in February would be the average for all of this year.
Administration spokesmen have said some rise in unemployment is inevitable because of Nixon's anti-inflation campaign.

After you've paid for it, it starts paying for itself.
We didn't want our bug to be a hog. That's why we made it go about 27 miles to a gallon of gas.
And why we persuaded it to take pints of oil instead of quarts.
And why we gave it an air-cooled engine. (Air is free. Antifreeze isn't.)
And why we put the engine in the back so you get more push from the rear wheels. (And less pull from tow trucks.)
And that's why at trade-in time if things are still the same as they have been, you can count on getting back more of your initial investment of $1979.00 than practically every other car owner gets of theirs.
After all, why shouldn't the car that's been saving you money while you own it do the same when you sell it?
