  • News November 12, 1981 Page 9 Skip-a-Meal For World Hunger World Hunger. The issue brings pictures to one's mind of tiny, malnutritioned children or groups of people reaching out with wooden bowls for a small portion of a meal. Yet what about our neighbors and those unemployed around us with families to support? Aren't they too, considered hungry? Questions such as these are but a few of the issues to be examined and brought to our area next week as we observe World Hunger Week, November 16-20. The theme given to this week is "Global Awareness," yet with over ten different groups on and off campus participating, the theme here could be tagged as "Cullowhee Awareness" for it looks to involve the entire campus. The week will consist of daily participation by the groups sponsoring it. On Monday, Dr. Tom OToole of the WCU Department of History will conduct an AS1 Forum with special guests Candice Fair of Bread for the World, Jim Stanley and Earl Gilmore, lay-persons for Hunger in the southern United States. The topic discussed will be "Justice and Hunger "and will be held in McKee during the morning hours. That night, Stanley and Gilmore will begin their first of five entertainment- discussion sessions in the blue lobby of Scott dorm from 9:30 to 11 p.m. Here the men will entertain and talk with students about the problem of poverty and hunger in our own environment, as well as performing folk songs of familiar origin. On Tuesday, Stanley and Gilmore will continue their sessions with students in the dorms beginning in the lobby of Albright/ Benton from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for the HABarea. At 7:30 the speakers move to the Helder/ Leatherwood area for a session in the Helder lobby. The sessions will conclude in the Reynolds/ Buchanan area with a discussion at 9:30 p.m. in the Buchanan lobby. "One of the main motives behind the dorm sessions is to not only awaken the students on campus as to just how severe the world hunger problem is around us, but to encourage them to actively take part in doing something about it. Students will be asked to take part in the "skip-a meal" program in observance to the hunger in the Buncombe-Haywood-Jackson county communities. Here the students will be asked to donate the evening meal of Wednesday, Nov. 18 as a way of helping the needy in our surrounding communities. With this gift, the actual cost of the meal (approximately 90 cents) will be given to the cause in food. Last year approximately 1500 students participated in this, and that number is hoped to double this year. As an added incentive to participate, all students giving their meal will be admitted to a Christian/Folk music concert free, Wednesday night at 8 p.m., featuring west coast singer-songwriter Jerry Goebel along with the WCU Inspirational Choir.

"We're really excited about our 'skip-a-meal' plan," said Joe David Fore, campus minister of the .Baptist Student Union on campus which is acting as one of the ten sponsors of'the event. "Despite late notice last year, we still had a good response, and we hope to even double our efforts this year. 1 encourage everyone to take a step with us toward helping those less fortunate than we by giving up a meal in hope of feeding someone hungry inourarea." Thursday will mark worship and educational programs at each religious center on campus, many of which have banded together in a 24-hour fast as a symbol of love for those hungry in the world. Many of these will end their fast in a community dinner Thursday night. Friday marks the conclusion of the fanfare of events. A moratorium will be held in front of Dodson Cafeteria at 11:50 a.m.; a time to stop for a few minutes to think about those in the world at that time who are hungry. A bell will ring out a memorial and for those who had a part in the week, it will be a time of rejoicing for the good deeds done in opposition to the problem of World Hunger. The Western Carolinian salutes World Hunger Week and encourages everyone to participate in it. Further information can be obtained regarding the week from the following campus organizations: B.S.U.,Presby Center, Wesley Foundation, RHCC, WCU Inspirational Choir, C.S.C., O.E.S., or the WCU history department. by Russ Randolph Lunch For Info. & Reservations 293-3621 Brown mg Tues.
