CROP Walk hopes
to benefit hungry
at home,
By RICHARD PEARCE
Reporter
Several Texas A&M organizations
will join the Bryan-College Station
community for the second annual
CROP Walk. 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.”
