The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, April 3. 1973 400 vofaiiiitteeire attenrolt to walk against hum -J x - ' , " - --J ' by Jane Ronalter Feature Writer Even the heavy early morning rainfall that drenched many of Saturday's walkers against hunger before they officially started marching failed to dampen their spirits. "Rain makes it more fun," said two-year veteran Naomi Slifkin, echoing the mood of the restless marchers as they stood on the steps of Carmichael Auditorium listening to Walk Co-ordinator Tom LaPointe's last-minute instructions. As had most marchers in previous years, many of those present planned to walk the entire 25 miles. For them, the walk was a personal challenge. "I want to see if I can do it," said UNC student Anne Marie Riener. Chapel Hill's fourth annual Walk Against Hunger began immediately after LaPointe finished. Four hundred marchers, each wearing an identifying arm-band and carrying a walk card, as well as a map of Chapel Hill showing them' the walk route, trudged forward in the downpour. Ranging in age from 8-45 years, over 400 attempted the 25 mile march, the walkers were labeled "an impressive group" by LaPointe. Many unusual costumes, including a doctor dressed in his white surgical coat and carrying his medical bag, and several marchers outfitted in jogging suits, were seen. Some marchers carried umbrellas or wore hats in an unsuccessful attempt to keep themselves dry, but most seemed to thrive on the rain, and didn't worry about being soaked. Although the bulk of marchers remained in a group behind Pat Keziahxhead of the Youth Development Committee which helped organize the walk, several others jogged on ahead, preferring a faster pace. Careful preparations had been taken for the safety of the marchers. The original walk route was changed at a point along South Lakeshore Drive, making it possible for walkers to go around instead of climbing up a steep hill. PROFESSIONAL BARBER SHOP In addition, Anne Barche, a nurse, cruised the entire walk route several times throughout the day, watching for walkers requiring medical attention. An emergency telephone number, manned by LaPointe, was set up in Carmichael and used for aiding walkers in trouble. Two-year veteran Whit Bodman, in his legendary renovated truck, and several other volunteers also cruised the walk route in cars specially equipped with food and water for the tired walkers. Whenever a walker was too tired to continue walking, these official walk cars were available to bring him back to Carmichael. Community interest in the Walk Against Hunger was high. Over $1,600 was pledged to the walkers by community sponsors (interested people or businesses), to be paid off after the marchers finished walking. This money is to be used to aid hungry people in the United States and abroad. (The majority of the international funds are to go to the Vietnam Relief Fund.) Other community volunteers helped the walk in different ways. Check-in points at two mile intervals along the route were manned by volunteers who initialed the marcher's walk cards. Community volunteers also provided and manned a lunch stop, complete with sandwiches and Cokes, at the Wesley Foundation. It was also a busy week for walk organizers LaPointe, Keziah and Hugh Stohler, UNC-YWCA staff director, who spent long hours together mapping out the 25 mile walk route, organizing the volunteers and putting up directional signs along the walk route Friday night. They were instrumental in generating the high degree of interest and participation in Saturday's Walk Against Hunger. Despite the rain, almost 250 people finished the entire 25 miles, Stohler said. 'The rain made people that much more determined to finish," he said. . W -B .-3. - V -A , . -J.. .. ' ' ' ,. w . t ? r;t: - i ' -s ' - - ' - , ' . - L - -.- ; v ;- i . .. ' v l. .
