Clothing makes the runner, UNL extension agent says As popular as running has become in the last five years, so have running clothes but some outfits are. better than others, says a UNL home economics extension agent. Rose Marie Tondl, an extension clothing specialist, said clothing should meet the wearers' physical needs and be highly visible to avoid accidents on the road. Clothing can play a big part in runners' comfort, as well as in the development of proper running style, Tondl safd. Runners should keep their individual needs in mind when they buy running clothes. The clothes should: O Fit closely but not tightly, since loose clothes can create a drag on running speed and catch on objects. O Allow ventilation to cool the body. O Provide for the dissipation of sweat; natural fabrics are best for those who are light perspirers and mesh synthetic fabrics are best for those who perspire heavily. Be lightweight. Be comfortable against the skin. With the approach of summer, Tondl said, runners should make sure their attre is as thin and open as possible to allow air to enter and carry off body heat and the moist vapor on the skin surface. Staying cool in summer is hard to do, Tondl said, but new fabrics are available that pro vide water-proofing yet retain breathability.The fabrics let wat er vapor pass through, but not actual water droplets, she said. Nighttime runners and bicyclists must wear highly visible clothing, Tondl said. I'edestrian-auto accidents cause about 9,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries a year, she said. Most of the accidents happen when visibil ity is poor. Visibility depends on an object's contrast to its surroundings, she said. Clo thing that is easily seen reflects light in away that makes it stand out from its background, she said. At night, the most visible colors are those that contrast the most with the black back ground white or silver. Clothes of these colors or of those with reflective material help drivers see pedestrians, she said. Reflective clothing works only at night, with direct light sources such as car head lights, Tondl said. Some runners mistakenly wear fluorescent clothing at night, she said. Fluorescent clothing is only good in day- light because it is only activated by sunlight,, she said. Regents rename hall in honor of Varners Because of D. B. "Woody" and Paula Varner's "immense contribu tions" to the university and the state, the NU Board of Regents Sat urday announced it would rename Regents Hall in honor of the couple, according to Sunday's Lincoln Journal-Star. The announcement came at a dinner in Omaha for donors to the university. Varner has been chairman of the board of directors of the NU Foun dation since 1977. From 1970 to 1977 he was president of the univer sity, and was chancellor before that. Varner, who had bypass heart surgery last summer, has worked to raise privately donated money for the university. "Although Woody announced last fall that he would begin serving half-time at the foundation, his suc cess in attracting private gifts has not lessened," the Journal-Star quoted Ronald Roskens, current NU president, as saying. Regent John Payne of Kearney said the university and the state owe the Varners a debt of gratitude. "As their achievements will, their names should remain in perpetuity at the university," the Journal quoted Payne as saying. Regents Hall was built in 1973 when Varner was president.
