Mark Sartor Some students prefer jogging to other forms of exer- cise. These student joggers enjoy the scenery about a mile off campus while toning up their bodies. Always onthe Run he early morning sounds are punctu- ated by the rythmic pounding of shoes against pavement. The lone figure glides across the deserted roads, his steady breathing the only conversation be- tween he and nature. Thus the jogger passes the time every morning. Of course every jogger doesn't run in the morning. Many prefer the even- ing. The fact remains however, that jogging is still popular even though the running craze that swept the United States several years ago has passed. One drive around the campus will prove to anyone that jogging is still alive and well as a method of fitness.

Tech students all have various reasons for jogging, but all agree, many very vehe- mently, that it is the best. One frequent jogger says I don't really jog far by many people's standards, but l can't think of any better way to get 'em up and ready for class than to run a mile in the cool morning air. Another jogger, this one a little more dedi- cated, prefers an evening run. The scenery is really pretty at dusk, and running at night helps me relax and clear my mind after a hard day of classes. Jogging, for all of its apparent simplicity, is really quite involved. You have to take into account the clothing, the running and these days, the radios. Those whojog with any degree of regular- ity must dress accordingly. Proper running shoes, running shorts and warm-up suits for those cold winter months are necessary investments. cont.

After the game students gathered at Humpfrees in the square to listen to the jazzy sounds of A-Train. The game began quickly for Northwest- ern, scoring ten points and sending score- less Tech to the locker room at half-time with lame hopes. But wounds can heal and they did. The Bulldogs came back in the third quarter scoring two touchdowns and claimed an- other seven points in the fourth quarter. Thus, the Bulldogs seized another State Fair victory and claimed the holiday given in their honor. The midway leading through the fair was followed from the baligame. Students could be seen climbing on rides, playing various games, or just eating the famous fair food. The main event was over, the emotions, however, will remain for approximately one year. The State Fair - a legend, tradition, and emotional rivialry. - Vicki Smith State Fair Court: Front Row: Laurie Wilkerson, Sher- Tami Taylor.
