Jogging Jag Sweeps Eugene As 1,000 Turn Out For Sunday Tour Of University Track
It Khrushchev should suddenly
Like to "joking" as a means in
which lo whittle o(f some of his
ample waistline, this "capitalistic
venture" may not be induced by
Proident Kennedy's physical Ill
ness program, but by a bunch
o( "joggers" way out in Oregon.
Inspired by University ot Ore
gon track coach Bill Bowerman.
whose team last year won the na
tional collegiate track champion
ship, "jogging," or more simply,
walking and running, has become
a popular sport (or all ages, sizes
and shapes in Kugene.
Bowerman formed the Kugene
Joggers Club after observing the
excellent physical condition of
New Zealanders during his recent
two-month stay there. Since these
people are enthusiastic joggers
Bowerman wondered if it might be
adapted in this country.
And sure enough, Eugene took
lo it like the figurative Oregon
Duck.
Last Sunday about l.frno men.
women and children turned out to
walk or run around the univcr
sity's track field. About 200 were
at the first meeting the previous
Sunday. Now, plans are belli
considered to split the club into

Malay Meets Indonesia
Threat By Troop Call
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaya
lUPIi The Malayan government
today announced immediate steps
to expand its armed forces as a
result of the "hostile attitude" of
Indonesia toward the proposed
Federation nf Greater Malaysia.
Defense Minister Tun Abdul Raz
ak said an emergency cabinet
meeting decided tile Indonesian
policy of "confrontation" consti
tutes a threat lo Malayan security.
Ra.ak said, "As a result of the
confronlation policy adopted by
Indonesia toward Malaya and its
hostile attitude toward the pro
posed federation of Malaysia, the
Malayan government considered it
constituted a threat to the coun
try's security."
Indonesia lias denounced the fed
eration as a Rritish move lo main

scheduled for creation this year
among Malaja. Singapore, Sara

possibly the oil-rich protectorate
of Brunei.

threatened to send "volunteers"

to overthrow tlie British in De

by British troops.
several smaller localized clubs.
Frankly, Bowerman is amazed
by its success.
There is only one principal rule,
the track coach presents to par
ticipants: "Train, but don't strain.
Don't try to do it ail in one easy
lesson."
He urges joggers to start out at
a "bit more than a walk, go 10
5O-I0O-1.0OO yards or more. Start
with a little distance, increase as
you improve, until you are puff
ing, then walk until . vou are
breathing normally. Hepeat-cov-
cr a mile, or two or three.
University of Oregon faculty
members take opposing positions
on Bowerman s jogging program.
Among the supporters is Dr. H
Harrison Clarke, research profes
sor of physical education at t h e
university, and professional proj
ects consultant to President Ken
nedy's Council on Youth Fitness.
Although he admitted he hadn't
participated in the program. Dr.
Clarke said this kinu nf activity
"especially good for circula
tory fitness ... the ability to
keep going when great demands
ire made on the circulatory sys
tem.
University of Oregon President
Arthur S. Flemming. former Sec
retary of Health. Wellaro and Edu-
atinn under the Eisenhower ad
ministration, hasn't been present
for the Sunday outings, but gets
plenty of walking exercise. He
regularly walks Ihe several blocks
rom home lo his office.
And Roy E. Lieuallen. chancel
or of the Slate Board of Higher
Education, is not anti-jogging,
either. He said while he hasn't
turned out for jogging, he follows
Bowel-man's recommendation for
jogging in place." He said he has
Iwen "jogging in place for many
vears."
Dr. Lloyd Staples, head of the
Department of Geology, is one of
several laculty members, who for
some time, have been turning out
on Ihe track field during the noon
hour. "1 have been thoroughly
onvinced that this is a well-worth
while physical exercise. Some peo
ple swim or golf . . . winch is
iust as good, except you gel
fresh air in jogging," he said.
Other professors are not con
vinced of the merits in jogging
They range from the dubious to
the cynical. Some wits laughingly
say it should be called the Jig
gers Club," while still others spec
ulatc that it's merely a fad.

One prominent p.ofessor, who
preferred not to be named, said
he didn't have time to jog. and
didn t see how his colleagues
could find the time, either. "1 view
the whole thing with slight dis
taste," he said.
Orlando llollis, dean of Ihe
School of Law, is douhttul. "11
will be interesting to observe how
long Bill's joggers keep jogging,
and also how many of them end
up in the hospital," was his com
ment. Dr. R. W. Lcepcr. head of
the Department of Psychology,
summed it up this way: "I uoui'J
say it's a fad, but some fads are
good for the time being." He
mused that it might be "better if
leop!e would use this (jogging )
in their daily life. It's odd that
we have to do it in a group where
it is sanctioned and approved."
In any event, if jogging contin
ues to catch on, it may eliminate
the parking problem, do away with
