Hays applauds Seib when he returns home
By JOSEPH REBELLO
Staff writer
HAYS — On the same basketball court he had played on as a schoolboy more than 13 years ago, Wall Street Journal reporter Gerald Seib heard his hometown mayor proclaim Saturday as "Gerald Seib Day."
Red and white balloons, Valentine's Day hearts, a large U.S. flag, and posters saying, "Jerry, We're Glad You're Home" and "God Bless You" adorned the gym at Hays "The More Prep-Marian school, where about 400 city leaders, former classmates, teachers and friends gathered to welcome Seib home from six days in
the courage with which Seib endured his ordeal in Iran made him a world hero.
"But you were a hero to us before all this happened," he said.
he said.
Before the public reception, Seib said that for one fleeting moment during his detention in Iran, his mind went back to his days as Kansan editor in fall 1977.
At that time, Iranian students demonstrated several times on campus against U.S. policies and the Shah of Iran.

desperately wanted to be athletic.
On the day we were supposed to run the full 3.3 miles, she told the rest of the class to go on ahead, that she would run the two mile course with me. I refused, and ran the full 3.3 miles, but I was careful to gasp only when she was out of earshot.
This had to stop. If I was to get any peace at all, I would have to do the unthinkable: become athletic.
Somehow, by the time the semester ended, I had logged 52 miles, which was enough for an A in the section, and a C in the course.
So, I started running at dawn, five days a week. I borrowed a Walkman. I hated every mile of it, and as I slowly shuffled along the deserted streets at 5:45 a.m., like some wounded animal, the fact that there invariably be some sinister, slow-moving black car just ahead of me, didn't exactly inspire me.
Me, I threw my racket and sneakers in the closet, and considered myself lucky to have passed.
Mrs. Haroldle was pleased, of course. It gave her an excuse to scold some of the other runners who had been less religious in their exercise programs. Why, if Maloney could improve two fitness categories in one semester, imagine what they could have done!
A few of my women friends today are physically active. They own sweats and sneakers. Walkmans and work-out tapes. Four times a week, they go jogging, and just as often, they lecture me on the dangers of a sedentary life. They tell me that I should sign up for an aerobics class, the '80s version of the singles bar, get into shape, and meet some good-looking guy.
I went with them once, and was
actually beginning to enjoy working up a sweat. But halfway through the routine, I caught the instructor's eye in the mirror. Looking directly at my reflection, she smiled sympathetically and shook her head.
I haven't been back since. Lisa A. Maloney is a graduate student in journalism. She received her undergraduate degree at DePauw University.
