The walk, beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday, will raise money to fight world hunger as well as hunger in the Brazos Valley. CROP, the fund-raising arm of Church World Services (the acro nym once stood for Christian Rural Overseas Project), will sponsor more than 1,500 walks this year all over the country. Walkers raise money by obtaining sponsors, or supporters, who pledge various amounts for each of the 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) of the walk. The walk will begin at Anderson Park in College Station and proceed around the A&M campus. If sponsors prefer, their dona tions can be directed to one of 13 other recognized relief agencies in cluding CARE and Project Hope. T he first Brazos Valley walk in 1984 had 100 participants and raised $2,700. The Rev. Bill Young- kin, pastor of Friends United Church of Christ and coordinator of the walk, says he hopes to have 1,000 walkers involved this year and raise $20,000. The walk will have additional sup port this year from several campus organizations. The Residence Hall Association, Circle K (the largest col legiate service organization), Beta Theta Pi/Aggie Cowboys, Omega Phi Alpha (a national service soror ity) and the TAMU World Hunger Organization all have pledged their abroad support for the walk. 1 hese organi zations are the first to have signed up for the walk. The RHA is the largest campus organization to participate in the walk. Lynne Raclcliffe, RHA trea surer, says there are 28 dorms in volved with each one recruiting walkers. KKYS radio station disc jockey Donna Biante, who is serving as a liaison between CWS and campus organizations, says the CROP Walk is the largest hunger relief effort in the area this year. Biante says she be lieves its goals can be met very easily. “All we are asking for are 1,000 workers,” Biante says. “We can pull that from the campus alone, but many other organizations are in volved from the community.” Registration forms and sponsor record envelopes can be obtained from KKYS and Friends United Church. Walkers also are being asked to bring food staples to benefit the Foodshare Program of the Brazos Food Bank when they come to the walk. One-fourth of the money raised from the local event will be shared by the Twin City Mission and the Brazos Food Bank. The remaining three-fourths of the money will be distributed by CWS, which spent $36.4 million for food, clothing and medicine in more than 70 countries last year. Administrative and fund-raising costs were 12.7 percent of last year’s budget, with the balance going to re lief work. Mall to treat children to Halloween fun By ANTHONY S. CASPER Reporter An appearance by Dracula, over 600,000 pieces of candy, wall-to-wall people and a lot of fun are expected under one roof on Halloween night at Post Oak Mall. Mall marketing director Cindy Brannen says she expects 10,000 to 20,000 children of all ages to take advantage of the trick-or-treating that will be offered between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday. “We have 116 stores in the mall, and all of them will be partici pating,” she says. “The entire mall just gets moboed. And everyone dresses up, even the people who work in the stores.” Radio station KORA is co-spon- soring the event and will be broad casting from the mall during the trick-or-treating. KORA also will of fer pictures taken with Dracula in his coffin. All of the proceeds will go to the Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Center. KORA program Director Roy Gene Munse says Dracula will be ar riving in style this year. “Dracula will be carried into the mall in his coffin by six pallbearers,” says Munse. “This will signal the of ficial beginning of the trick-or-treat- ing. Children also can register for a Schwinn bicycle to be given away at 8:30 p.m. in the mall. Randy Stuart, co-owner of the Keyboard Center and Wicks ’n Sticks, says he sees the event from two points of view. “From the store point of view, we see a lot of people, a lot of traffic and a lot of fun,” he says. “From a per sonal point of view, 1 find the trick- pr-treating very interesting. There’s an awful lot oF kids and adults who wear some very imaginative costu mes.” Stuart also says he sees a pattern develop when people enter the mall. "When they enter the mall, the kids immediately head for the store representative who is handing out the candy,” he says. “They then join the rest of the crowd and go in a big circle around to every store. When they finish, they then walk around just to look at all the costumes.” Laurie Rogers, owner of Pet Em porium, sees the trick-or-treating as a positive factor for the community. “This is good for the kids because it provides them a margin of safety they might not normally get while trick-or-treating in their neighbor hood,” she says. “And while they are in the store, they gjt to set* animals they might not normally have any contact with. This is good for both the store and the kids.” Stuart also says his stores do not see any real increase in business while the trick-or-treating is going on, but the exposure helps. “We don’t see any increase that day, but there is a slightly higher in crease the following day or two,” she says. “This helps because we are fresher on everyone’s mind when it comes time to do their Christmas shopping.” Preregistration begins Nov. 11 (continued from page 1) • Nov. 20 — juniors with last names beginning S-Z. • Nov. 21 — sophomores with last names beginning A-G. • Nov. 22 — sophomores with last names beginning H-O. • Dec. 2 — sophomores with last names beginning P-Z and freshmen with last names beginning A-D. • Dec. 3 — freshmen with last names beginning E-K. • Dec. 4 — freshmen with last names beginning L-R. • Dec. 6 — freshmen with last names beginning S-Z. • Dec. 9-13 — open preregistra tion and drop/add.
