Being a non-smoker I always laughed when I saw the "I'd walk a mile for a Camel" advertisement. There aren't many things I guess that I'd walk a mile for, and a cigarette sure isn't one of them, I believe the reason that I decided to participate in the Hike for Hope was more the physical challenge of completing the 25 miles from the lawn of the UC to Cherokee, N.C, rather than the worthy money - raising aspect of the hike. How far is 25 miles? Well, I refer to it as my -iati personal "Trail of Tears," This past Sunday morning found 55 hearty hikers heading toward Cherokee at various speeds of foot power, Two fleet-f noted fly boys ran the distance in comparison with several persons like myself who limped into Cherokee like WWII B-29's that had been shot everyplace but down and were struggling to make it back to their home base from a successful mission. The participants in the hike went out and tried to get people to sponsor them so much money per mile. The money raised by the hikers is to be sent by the Phi Mu sorority to Project Hope in Washington, D,C , which sponsored that once globe trotting hospital ship of the same llllllglllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIBIIII name. It costs something like Sj. million per day to keep the good ship Hope afloal and In :'u!l operation. Lately, due to lack of fund-, the ship has been dry docked, but it still continues to administer med.cal attention,, It was just a little waysp.ist Sylva during the hike when my feet first began hinting their disapproval of the idea of walking 25 miles, First they whispered to me.. After that I knew I could expect the worst any time, and soon two blisters formed on my left foot, They were talking a little louder now, When that failed to make me abort the hike, the right foot decided to join the action. It too developed several of those flaming sores, They were yelling at me by this time and expressing their resentment at being abused with every step I took, Sisters of Phi Mu Sorority handled checkpoints along the hike route and d.d a Florence Nightingale-- Vince Iximbarde routine on the worn out hikers. Their hard work as well as that of the members of WCAT I had doubts whether many of the people who began the hike would finish it, However, most people that began the hike did finish it, It was a great day for women's lib and little kids as time and again I was passed by coeds and a pack of seventh and eighth grade boys from Fiirview Elementary School, 1 think 1 know how the Hebrews felt when they first saw thei'- promised land after centuries of bondage, The sight of Cherokee brought renewed vigor into my stride as I entered the town, But what's this? No cheering crowds jo greet me, no marching band, no over-developed mo\ie star type to give me a wreath and a kiss; justa crowd of moaning fellow hikers sitting on tie ground with thsir shoes off. Many participants when asked why they did it replied that they thought it was for a good cause. Others said that they did it to see if they could walk 25 miles. One aspiring young journalist said something about it taking moi than Raquel Welch to get him to do it again. But don't believe him, One ol her most cherished memories ujtl/ be of dining dr COURT HILL INN Odhere erery evening is c* Special Occasion THERE'S A RUMOR SPREADING ABOUT PIZZA HUT. s s —• •■ ■• = helped the hike be successful^ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦********** ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ f ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Maybe you've already heard it.
