USA for Africa and the student
leaders from 1,000 colleges and
high schools in fifty states have
joined together in a student cam
paign against world hunger. The
campaign is entitled, “So Let’s
Start Giving: The National Stu
dent Campaign Against Hunger. ’ ’
The campaign is being organized
by the student Public Interest
Research Groups (PIRGs) which
are based on over 100 campuses.
“Students have been among the
strongest supporters for USA for
Africa,” said Amy Carter. She
feels we must commit ourselves
to the struggle to end world
hunger.
Co-author, Lionel Richie, of the
hit single “We Are The World”
feels that this is the student’s
chance to campaign against
world hunger. He was quoted as
saying, “You are the hope of the
future.” He goes on to say that we
must give our time, talent, and
energy to begin building that-
future now.
Ken Kragen, Founder and
President of USA for Africa, feels
we have reached many people
through USA for Africa. He also
says that this campaign enables
us to build leadership for the
future.
“The campaign will have a
three-part focus; GIVE; fundi
raisers to benefit USA for Africa; I
LEARN: educational events to I
deepen understanding about!
hunger; and ACT: local projects!
to attack hunger in the United
States,” said Patty Dorsey,
chairperson of the Massachusetts I
Public Interest Research Group
and a student at Boston College.
Students who conduct the most I
creative and effective projects in
each category will be honored at
the World Hunger Media Awards
ceremony by USA for Africa at
the United Nations this
November. The World Hunger
Media Awards are sponsored by
Kenny and Marianne Rogers. 1
“We look forward to working!
with the campaign and helping to
honor those students who conduct
the most successful campaigns in
their schools and communities,” !
said Marty Rugol, Executive
Director of USA for Africa.

‘Targets’ Is Tim
New Art Exhibit
by Heather Kivett
Tim Murray’s art exhibit
“Targets” will be on display in
the art building from October
17th through November 14th. The
show consists of 12 paintings and
three wood sculptures. Two of
the paintings are not here on
campus because they are at the
October show in Asheville.
Murray began work on the
show last March. He named it
“Targets” because all the pain
tings reflect people in vulnerable
positions. Each life size piece has
a paper airplane in it somewhere,
and a cross which intersects the
figure at a vulnerable point. The
paintings are vibrant and lively.
Their titles are: “The Water Was
Cold at Gizeh That Night,
“Shadow Search,” “North Side
Search,” “One of Four,’^
“Target,” “Swan Song,
“Generalissimo.” “Robinhood
Roost,” “Five Finger Fantasy,
and “Night Dancer.”
The sculptures are fascinating
combinations of smooth flowing
: lines and violently sharp ones.
I Their titles are: “Heartbreak
I Pass,” “Table Fedish,” and
I “Tree Island.” One of these
pieces is capable of movement.
One of the paintings struck^
Murray’s
deep chord within me-“North|
Side Search.” This piece was dis
quieting to look at but the unrest 1
of it was what I liked. The figure
reminded me of my own pain and
searching. I reccomend that
everyone take a few minutes to
go into the art building and look
at this show
Buckle Up
For Safety
by Elizabeth Oliver
The new seatbelt law for front!
seat passengers went into effect I
the first of October in North I
Carolina. Yet according to the I
I Transylvania County police I
department , tickets will not be
issued until January 1st of 1987.
Warning tickets will be issu^ un
til ’87, but no fines will be given.
The seatbelt law does not apply
to adults riding in the back seat,
1 yet all children under the age of
1 six must be secured whether in
the front or back seat. Why start
the law in ’85 if no fines will be
given until ’87? An officer at the
Brevard police department |
feels“it is to get people used to'
the idea.”
