There was a time
when the EARTH*
negative heel shoe
was the only shoe
in the world with
the heel lower than
the toe. In those
days the other
people who made
shoes just laughed
at us.
But things have
changed. And now
that you love our
Earth brand shoes
so much, the shoe
companies have
stopped laughing
and started copying.
But what they
don’t understand is
this. Merely lower
ing the heel of a
re:
shoe isn’t enough.
And imitating the
outside of our shoe
isn’t enough.
Just because a
shoe looks like the
Earth® shoe doesn’t
mean it works like
the Earth shoe.
It took many
years to perfect the
Earth brand shoe.
To get the arch just
right. To make the
toes wide, comfort
able and functional.
To balance the
shoe. To mold the
sole in a special way
so that it will allow
you to walk in a
natural rolling
motion. Gently and
easily, even on the
hard jarring cement
of our cities.
And the Earth
shoe is patented.
That means it can’t
be copied without
being changed. And
if it’s changed it just
isn’t the Earth shoe.
So to be sure
you’re getting the
Earth brand shoe,
look on the sole for
the Earth trade
mark and U.S.
patent #3305947.
You’ll be glad
you did.

Pan American to compete in the
State Collegiate meet and came
away with a second place finish out
of 20 teams. Taking first place was
— who else — the University of
Texas.
The women finished ahead of
SMU and set three state records in
relay events. The marks for the
400-yard medley relay, the
400-yard freestyle relay and the
200-yard freestyle relay went down
before the A&M women.
“We did great. Everybody swam
well,” said a jubilant Carol Hem
phill. Hemphill qualified for nation
als in her third individual event, the
100-yard individual medley. This
goes along with her 50 and 100-yard
breaststroke qualifying events.
Also qualifying for nationals
amongst the women were Debbi
Starr in the 100-yard freestyle and
Kathy Singletary in the 50-yard but
terfly. Three relay teams made the
qualifying mark also. The 400-yard
freestyle relay (Hemphill, Starr,
Beth McArthur and Vicki Brown),
the 400-yard relay (Hemphill, Starr,
Brown and Singletary) and the
200-yard freestyle relay team
(McArthur, Brown, Singletary and
Starr) all made the grade.
The women broke ten A&M
school records and nearly everyone
of them had their best personal
times in their particular events.
A&M had to overcome the inep
titude of several timers and start
ers. On several occasions, women
from other schools were allowed to
jump the gun or A&M women were
clocked at differing times.
There were moments of good for
tune to counteract the bad. Diver
Hollee Singleton had not been on
the board in over eight months, yet
was able to come up with a fifth
place finish at the meet.
Coach Dennis Fosdickhad plenty
of praise for the effort put forth by
his young women’s swim team.
Only three of the fifteen member
team have reached the classification
of junior.
The women travel to Arizona
State on March 13 to participate in
the Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women Champion
ships. Only those women who have
qualified for nationals will compete.
The A&M men’s team competes in
the Southwest Conference swim
meet this upcoming weekend held
at the University of Houston.

A&M karate club
kicks with style
By DIANNE COX
Contributor
Utilization of many kicking tech
niques and emphasis of style are the
objectives of Tae Kwon Do, a
Korean style of karate.
“We use a lot of kicking techni
ques in Tae Kwon Do stressing
mostly leg techniques because they
are strong and more powerful. The
style is hard, which means it stres
ses much power,” Steve Powell, a
’74 graduate of A&M and chief in
structor of Tae Kwon Do at A&M,
said.
The Texas A&M Tae Kwon Do
Karate Club, started by David Jor
dan in fall ’70, is open to any in
terested students. It is hosting a
tournament of open and collegiate
fighting and form competition April
12 in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The club dues are used to promote
tournaments and participation in
competition.
Tae Kwon Do originated as a
means of self-defense in Korea,
where the Koreans “utilized every
part of their body as a weapon,”
Powell said. Jhoon Rhee introduced
it to the United States.
The style has changed three times
at A&M, and the system now em
phasizes more practical applica
tions, eliminating much kata
(stylized motions in a set sequence
of techniques). It abolishes many
old aspects concerning form. “This
way the student learns faster. I feel
we’ve gone to a better style,” Powell
said.
People take karate for various
reasons; as a means of physical fit
ness, for the fun and challenge of
competition and to learn self-
defense, Powell said. The rising
crime rate has greatly affected pri
vate enrollment, especially women.
Determination is the main ability
required to take karate. Jim Shiner,
senior civil engineering major and
karate instructor, said it gave him a
release from studying. “It’s made
me a calmer person. The discipline
is a lot of fun. ”
Charlie Senning, graduate pre-
veterinary student and karate in
structor, said the body motions and
art of the oriental style interested
him. “It increases your awareness of
your environment and situations
that happen around you. It’s an ac
cumulative type thing. You have to
be serious about it in order to get
anything out of it, ” he said.
“Karate helps your balance,
coordination, agility, power and
helps you focus your techniques,”
Powell said. It also helps develop
your confidence and sense of pride.
Mary Wesolick, freshman marine
biology major, said, “The main
reason I took karate was to be more
limber and get in shape. I realize
more and more that it can really
benefit me a lot. It gives me a feel
ing of accomplishment.”
The Tae Kwon Do style of karate
is usually accepted by people as
more representative of karate be
cause it utilizes a lot of kicks and
punches, Powell said.
Tomlin’s
no-hitter
rips TLC
FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) —
Freshman Reuben Tomlin hurled
the fifth no-hitter in Texas Christian
baseball history Tuesday as the
Horned Frogs beat Texas Lutheran
8-0 in the second game of a doub
leheader. TCU also won the opener

Tomlin, a quarterback in football
at TCU, picked up his first victory
by striking out eight batters in the
seven-inning second game.
Catcher Les Hemby was the bat
ting star for the Horned Frogs, col
lecting five hits in the two games,
including a three-run homer, and
six-runs batted in.
TCU is now 10-1 for the year and
