Class runs 16 grueling miles Running 16 miles along the Gal veston seawall may not sound like much of a weekend to most people. For Dr. George Jessup’s marathon class at Texas A&M University, however, it’s a long-anticipated out ing. Jessup, director of Texas A&M’s Human Performance Laboratory, says he has problems in keeping the 28 class members from running too far, and this weekend’s journey along the seawall will probably give some of them a chance to burn up some excess enthusiasm. The marathon class, taught by Jessup and graduate assistant Bill Squires, is one of several P.E. courses Jessup has developed for Aggies. One of the prime objectives of the class is to run the 26-mile marathon during the April 9 Texas Relays at Austin. Although only about 30 people will go this year, Jessup ex pects the marathon class to grow to two bus loads within two years.
