Thursday, April 19, 1984/Kaleidoscope/5 Professors sold to save children of world By Cathy James The diminutive eco nomics professor in a tank top stood help lessly on a small platform awaiting his ■^ate. The president of the Political Science Asso ciation , David Muszyn- ski, ruthlessly sold him as a slave to eager students. Stripping off his tank top at the demand of the auctioneer dnd crowd, Ivan Cohen joked loudly with the bidders in the cafeteria of the Highsmith Center last Wednesday. He and six other fac ulty "slaves" put them selves on the block to help raise money for„ the PSA-sponsored Save the Children project. The auction netted a total of $802, accord ing to Lee Hinebaugh, chairman of the drive. The other properties included Gene Shultz and Ann Weber, psycho logy department: Milton Ready, history depart ment: Gary Klonicki and Joe Sulock, economics department; and Bob Farzanegan, who stood in for Wilsonia Cherry, literature department. Cohen sold for the highest amount, $387, raised by a large group of his students. "They bought me," he said, "because I pro mised them a take-home final exam and a beer keg party." Prices for the other slaves ranged from $30 to $110. To date, the PSA Save the Children fund to tals ■ approximately $3000, said Hinebaugh. Of this amount, al most $1,000 has gone to cover expenses such as printing costs for posters and refresh ments for fund-raising events. "With the way things are going, our ambi tious original goal, $20,000, has been re set at a more realistic $10,000," Hinebaugh said. The auctioned profes sors were slaves for two hours to their highest bidder. Shultz and Weber spent their time col lecting money for Save the Children while Sulock helped Dr. Kay move into a new resi dence. Klonicki tutored stu dents, Cherry fixed dinner for David Cafiero, and Cohen will give a party for his students. And Ready played buy- “I M H^ey, baby!!

"The effort to help Save the Children has obviously captured the hearts of the commun ity," said Hinebaugh. Merchants, along with the Asheville Citizen- Times, have provided nearly $15,000 in ad vertising and donations to the program, he said. "From this point for ward, we must convert these assets into dol lars," said Hinebaugh. "If we are unable to, our effort will be a failure." There are 20 to 30 people involved with the Save the Children project. "People can feel good about themselves and what they are doing. "At the risk of beg ging, 1 encourage everyone to pitch in and give us a hand. After all, could you live on a bowl of rice once or twice a day?" said Muszynski. The deadline for donating to Save the Children is April 27. For further information contact Hinebaugh or Muszynski in the PSA office in Zageir.
