Because of differences in bone and muscle alignment, jogging is not for everyone, Giles saicf. “I see people with certain bone malalignments that virtually forbid them to be runners,” Giles said. When a person runs, his muscles sustain three to eight times his body weight on each stride, opposed to the average of two times nis body weight when he walks. Actual mileage is also a significant potential factor for injury. “You can beat your finger tip on a table 100 times and it won’t nurt,” Giles said. “But if you tap it thou sands of times it is bound to be sore the next day.” Dr. C.B. Goswick Jr., director of the A.P. Beutel Health Center, said that most of the athletic-related inju ries he sees result from overuse or abuse of the muscles. “Many of the students that come here for treatment of running inju ries are hurt because of excessive amounts of the activity, from straight running to a variety of intra mural activies,” ne said. Giles attributed 60 percent of these injuries to training errors, spe cifically overuse. “Too much, too hard, too soon and too far are chief causes for run ning injuries,” Giles said. “To pre vent some of these training injuries, there are a few guidelines that should be followed. Historic house to be site of Cajun museum Associated Press PORT NECHES — The Martin Broussard house was just an aban doned shack slated to he torn down and replaced by an oil ri^ until Les Acadiens du Texas found it. The tin roof is rusting and the cy- f iress boards missing from the ramework reveal the mud-and- moss lining on the walls inside. But the Acadian group plans to restore the old house and transform it into a Cajun museum. So the two-story house, built in 1810 in Lafayette, La., was loaded on to a barge and shipped to its cur rent site in a Port Necnes park. “It almost made me cry to see the house loaded on to that barge,” said Edward Broussard, 62, of Lafayette. “As long as it was sitting out there I could always go over there and med itate if I got sad.” Broussard said he and his six brothers were born in the house and ran the family farm together until World War II. The house was built in 1810, but Broussard said his family bought it in 1832. When his grandfather, Martin Broussard, came home from the Civil War, the house was sawed in half and Martin Broussard moved his section to a site near Maurice, La. Robert Edward Smith, a restora tion architect in Breaux, La., said it was not uncommon for homeowners living in southern Louisiana during the past century to saw their houses ‘The intensity of your workouts should be varied. It is a good idea to alternate workouts, one day hard, the next easy and so on.” Also, when increasing mileage, he said, it is best to do it gradually and it is best to run on a soft, level surface if possible. Goswick said that adequate warm up and warm-down exercises are es sential preventive measures. “This also helps retain some of the flexibility that is lost as a result of muscle compaction from running,” he said. The hardest problem the health center staff faces when treating a running injury, Goswick said, is get ting the student to stop the activity that causes the injury. “Our toughest problem is keeping the student down long enough to get totally well,” Goswick said. “This problem is especially prevalent in the athletes that we see. They are very opposed to stopping or curtail ing their training. “The injury that we see the most falls under the catch-all diagnosis of a shin splint.” Sue Hill, a physical therapist at the health center, can offer various remedies for more severe injuries. “Our first concern is to relieve the pain,” Hill said. “Then, in more se rious cases, we give an anti-infiam- matory drug, such as aspirin, to get rid of the infiammation in the mus cles and tendons.” For recent cases of shin splints, ice is applied to the legs. “We do not apply heat because heat brings blood to the surface of the muscles, which increases the in flammation,” Hill said. “In addition to shin splints, we also see many knee injuries, twisted ankles and pulled hamstrings that could have been avoided if proper training practices had been follow ed.” in half to make room for more than one family. The Broussard house is one of the few Cajun structures built in Loui siana, Smith said. Most Lousiana homes were built by Creoles, who are descendants of French and Spanish immmigrants, he said. Cajuns are descendants of Acadi- ans, who now live in Canada. France gave Acadia to England in 1713, and any Acadians who refused to take oaths of allegiance to England were deported. “Most people don’t realized how many Cajuns we have around here,” Vincent said. The Acadians were welcomed in Louisiana, which was then Spanish territory, because “they were tough, experienced settlers and they were Catholic,” said Clyde Vincent of Beaumont, head of Les Acadiens. Smith said the Broussard house, which has been empty since 1955, should be easy to restore. The tin roof will be replaced with wood shingles and new porches will be built, he said. The old chimney will be rebuilt using the original bricks and century-old Cyprus logs will be used to replace the planking. The house never had a bathroom and electric wiring was not installed until the 1940s, Broussard said. Vincent said Les Acadiens mem bers will give tours of the restored house so vistors can see how Cajuns lived a century ago. ■: s I - What’s up Tuesday DATA PROCESSING MANAGEMENT ASSOOATIOK will hold its ICDP Series at 7 p.m. in the RamadalnnPec house.

It was a mistake. “I enrolled him in a class that was teaching wax pencil art and he didn’t want to go,” she said. “So I decided to go and became intrigued from the very beginning.” Today, the walls of the Nichols’ West Midland home are adorned with the fruits of her short-lived but productive lessons. The pictures, mostly portraits of Southwest Indi ans and carefully reproduced pencil drawings from antique photo graphs, have not remained hidden but are displayed about the house. On one wall of Nichols’ eclectic studio are a rainbow of ribbons and medals attesting to her specialized talents. “I won three medals in one show,” she said. She added that she entered five pictures. Nichols’ originals have sold for more than $1,000. One of her pictures was chosen by the “Art in the Embassy” program “J asked myself what is different about my pictures. I prayed and asked God to make a difference in my art. ” — Artist Mary Nichols for display in a U.S. ambassador’s residence — in Lesotho. “In the program, the ambassadors can select any art work for their resi dence,” she said. Nichols, however, does not need to go to Africa to sell her artwork. A twenty-year resident of El Paso be fore her husband, Al, a Southwes tern Bell employee, was transferred to Midland fast year, she regularly participated in art shows and pro duced limited edition prints which sold widely in El Paso. Her pictures speak for them selves. A Sioux Indian brave, his long, black hair blowing in the wind, looks outward with expectation and won dering clearly showing in his eyes. “I call it ‘Waiting,’ ” said Nichols. “Waiting” is typical of her art, which recalls another era with sensitivity and compassion. Her drawing of a Tarahumara Indian, from “a primi tive people who live in caves,” re flects the subject’s harsh life. Deep furrowed lines in the face are meant to show an unforgiving climate. Her subjects are always real peo ple. “I asked myself what is different about my pictures,” she said. “I prayed and asked God to make a dif ference in my art.” The difference is clearly in the eyes. Her subjects are not passive decoration. They are seemingly breathing reminders of a vanishing people — the eyes of another era. For Nichols, the accidental discov ery of her latent artistic talents has been a godsend. “When everything is goinf’ it really is my salvation atti# said. Closely intertwined with tiff' tery of the wax pencil, a su^ dium that requires great cart* mistakes are not easily fixed,* love of antiques. “I actually began colM tiques before I ever took anJ 1 son,” she said. H er fondness of f Southwest Indians from oldp ! graphs led to a steady com# other subjects, such as brought in by patrons wantii traits in wax pencil. With painstaking care, times taking a year” but us aging 50 to 60 hours per coup sion, Nichols produces awori' from a yellowed photograph Mrs. Nichols nas won a# art shows in Odessa and Aid? and was approached by o® from a local bank who asked ' could hang her pictures ii : lobby.
