A pie in the face was the alter
native to a 11be'I suit offered to
the University of Washington
Daily and its reporter. John
Snell, in one ol the strangest out
of-court settlements on record,
according to a June 24, 1974.
Oregon Daily Emerald
I he libelee. Diane Cheap,
smashed a chocolate cream pie
in the face of Snell, who ran a
picture of her to illustrate an ar
ticle satirizing beauty contests.
The letter from Cheap's lawyer

Contaminated Hands
Research suggests that hand
to-hand contact is a more impor
tant mode of transmitting the
cold virus than inhaling virus
particles coughed or sneezed bv
cold sufferers, according to an
article in the February Reader's
Digest. When cold sufferers
touch or blow their noses, they
transfer live virus particles to
their hands. The virus then may
be deposited on whatever sur
faces they touch from
telephones to doorknobs.
Healthy people literally pick up
the virus with their hands and in
feet themselves by touching their
noses or eyes.
Jogger's Paw
The language of medicine has
produced some colorful descrip
tions in an attempt to describe
symptoms of a human condition,
particularly sports conditions.
Among the better known con
ditions arc pitcher's arm. swim
mer's ear, athlete's foot,
guitarist's nipple and runner's
high There are also health con
ditions known as gin drinker’s
Iner. smoker's cough, writer's
cramp and housemaid's knee.
Doctors have created a new
description, jogger 's paw . for a
condition dogs can acquire while
accompanying their owners
while running on hot surfaces.
I he cond 11 ion can be
prevented by keeping the dogs
off asphalt and concrete in hot
weather.
I he Wall Street Journal cites.
"As more runners take lido
along to relieve the boredom of
long jaunts throughout the city,
veterinarians report a huge surge

of jogging dogs."
Bowling
Continued from Pane K
filled with faculty leagues. “ I he
f .Ml had tw ice as many lanes as
they do now Now they're down
to |ust eight; it's kind of sad.
"I like howling in leagues
because it's a chance to get out
with the guys once a week ' he
adds. Leagues are a way to get
bowlers involved, and are well
organized. Lo really improve in
bow ling you have to bow I in two
or three leagues a week; I just
bowl once a week in this league

“Bowling is a funny game.
Sometimes you roll a perfect
shot and still leave pins, but then
on a sloppy hit get a strike. It's
so unpredictable.” he says.
Wednesday nights at Lmerald
Lanes is the men's Freeway
League. Most of the people in
this league fit the category as gas
station attendants, mechanics
and body and fender shop
workers.
But there are always excep
tions, and Eric Waldahl is one of
them Waldahl. who has been
competing in a variety of leagues
for seven years, is a bookkeeper
at the Arthur Murray Dance
Studio. He also is head coach of
the junior league program at
Emerald Lanes.
Waldahl considers himself to
be a pretty serious league bow ler
and currently is bow ling in three
leagues.
“I like bowling because it is a
gixKl source of exercise and
gives me a chance to meet new
people.” says Waldahl. “It
gives you something to do on a
rainy day and something to shoot
tor Your goals can keep getting
higher and higher as you keep
getting better, and you never
really reach a peak.”
Waldahl likes the team ele
ment of league bowling and the
competition, he says. “There's
the thrill of victory and the
agony of defeat; of course, it
feels better when you win,” he
says with a grin.
Wuldahl agrees howling is on
ihe decline, hut thinks with the
right people and promotion it
can grow again.

rains we get more business; it's
a great indoor sport.”

I like howling because it is a good
source of exercise and gives me a
chance to meet new people. It gives
you something to do on a rainy day
and something to shoot for.’

Waldahl is working with the
future of the sport and gets great
satisfaction out of helping young
howlers improve.
“You have to start with kids
for howling to increase in
popularity.” Waldahl says.
“The more kids we can bring in
the better. They are the future of
the sport.’*
Thursday nights at
Southtowne Lanes is the Thurs
day Night Social League.
Bill Alexander, a University
student in the league and a
serious bowler of seven years,
says. “It is a strategic game that
plays with your mind. I like the
competition, the chance to make
new friends and to get away
from studying for a while. There
are a wide variety of people in
this league, from executives to
students to grandparents. They
all come out to have a gixxl
time.”
Unlike other sports that have
specific seasons, bowling
leagues run all year-round with
new leagues starting each
season.
According to Randall, fall and
winter are the best months for
bowling leagues as people look
tor indoor activ ities to get in
open lane during the winter than
summer. College students come
in mostly for pleasure howling;
not that many join leagues.”
Grecnleaf notes that at
Southtowne Lanes, leagues are
growing and becoming more
popular.
"Most evenings are filled
with leagues; they are
guaranteed income for us,” says
Randall, who has seen a lot from
his position behind the desk at
Emerald.
“We get many University
students that come in for open
play on Saturday nights after
9,” Randall says.
Most bowling teams nave a 101
of team spirit and encourage
their teammates. If a strike or
spare is made there are many
“high fives” flying. If a player
is in a slump, i.e., four con
secutive frames without a mark,
teammates usually call out
words of encouragement like,
C mon, you can do it!”
Bowling is an emotional
game, with ups and downs
riding on whether the bowler is
“stringing the marks together.”
