Wednesday’s What’s Up entries are listed on page 6 Food (Continued from page 1) tal problem, and gradual changes in the environment are starting to catch up. “This is not just another political issue,” he said. After the hour-long teleconfer ence, presented through satellite hook-up by MSC Student Confer ence on National Affairs and MSC Great Issues, local food experts pro vided some specific examples of hunger problems abroad and at home. Dr. George Bates, a biochemist and biophysicist specializing in nu trition, presented a slide show about nutrition in Central America. The region has a lower economic status than Mexico, he said, and outdated farming methods. Even in regions where plenty of food is available, he said, people starve in front of grocery stores be cause they have no money. The mar kets generally offer a limited variety of fruits and vegetables and little meat, he said. Central American children often suffer from malnutrition and growth retardation, he said. Corn tortillas comprise half of most chil dren’s diets. Dr. Ron Knutson, A&M professor of agricultural economics, said the crucial issue in alleviating world hunger is closing the food, technol ogy and wealth gaps between devel oped and underdeveloped coun tries. Knutson said closing the wealth gap is an area where the United States is “not willing to take overt ac tion.” The central point of the world food problem is who’s willing to pay the bill, he said. If the United States pays, then a change in lifestyles is essential, he said. “That’s what’s difficult to get peo ple to face up to,” Knutson said. Nancy Hardeman, president of the Brazos Food Bank, said many people in Bryan-College Station need food. “We recognize there are many people without resources, through no fault of their own,” she said. Job layoffs, medical expenses and accu mulating bills can be tragic to fami lies without any savings. “These people don’t need job skills; they need food for their chil dren,” she said. The Brazos Food Bank receives food from companies, grocery stores and community collections, she said, and gives it to volunteer organiza tions who distribute it to needy fami lies. Hardeman urged students to help the local hunger problem by volun teering at the Brazos Food Bank and by changing their perspective of people in the community who are hungry. “It doesn’t take long to find your self on the street,” she said. The teleconference was the first in a series of events for SCONA and Great Issues’ World Food Week. A canned food drive to support the Brazos Food Bank will last until Fri day, with collection barrels on cam pus at Blocker Building, Sbisa, the MSC, Zachry Engineering Center, Kleberg Animal and Food Science Center and the Commons. Friday at 8 p.m. at the Pavilion, a “Dance Against Hunger” will close the week’s activities. Admission to the dance, sponsored by the Relief, Education and Concern for Hunger organization, is two cans of food or $1. Co-sponsors of World Food Week are Aggieland Awards, Brazos Food Bank, the Corps of Cadets, RDM Audio Services, REACH, Residence Hall Association, Students Against Apartheid, The Medicine Tribe and University fraternities and sorori ties. Judge believed his remarks about gays were off record DALLAS (AP) — Attorneys for State District Judge Jack Hampton said a newspaper reporter took ad vantage of the judge’s friendship when she published what he thought were off-the-record disparaging re marks about gay people. Attorney Cliff Hutchinson said Dallas Times-Herald reporter Lori Montgomery “took advantage of the friendship she cultivated with Judge Hampton to write a slanted article about the judge.” The statement came in a one-day fact-finding hearing that will even tually lead to a determination of what action, if any, should be taken against Hampton. Hampton told Montgomery in an interview published Dec. 16 that he gave a light sentence to convicted murderer Richard Bednarski, 18, in part because his two victims were “queers” who were “asking for trou ble” by soliciting sex. “These two guys that got killed wouldn’t have been killed if they hadn’t been cruising the streets, picking up teen-age boys,” Hampton said, two weeks after sentencing Bednarski to a 30-year prison term. “I don’t much care for queers cruising the streets for teen-age boys,” he said. $250.
