Families purposely have to account for the high death rates in countries," Brilliant added. ng malnutrition, the number one cause of the deaths, there would be no reason for the people to have larger families, Brilliant said. BRILLIANT STATED that many of the death- related diseases could be cured if enough money and resources were available to the underdeveloped countries. - The World Health Organization (WHO) has a budget of only $140 million dollars, and President Carter recently signed a bill completely ending United States funding to WHO. "The biggest killer in the world today is diarrhea. Over half the deaths in Bangladesh are from it,' Brilliant said. He related a conversation with an Egyptian friend. "He told me that if American wants to regain its position of respect in the world, it must do two things. First, it must not continue to call its championship baseball game the World Series", and it must aid the underdeveloped countries in finding cures for diseases not affecting the United States, Brilliant said. The Egyptian friend had said that if malaria had been a killing disease in America, then there would have been a cure for it discovered. :a Wavy Gravy to promote hunger awareness (Continued from Page 1) people should bring musical instrumen- ts," said Gravy, referring to the Diag presentation sponsored by the Commit- tee Concerned with World Hunger. Gravy said he became active in effor- ts to head off world starvation in 1974 when he worked with a group that provided relief for Africans in the Sahara.

Filmmaker Barbara Kopple lived with the families of the miners during their year-long strike, and documents the first UMW strike in which women took an active, militant stand. Includes rare footage of the assassination of UMW activist Yablonsky, and the victory of Arnold Miller over Tony Boyle.

He said his attempts at humor work best in the least humorous situations. "I remember we were at a UN con- vention in Sweden," Gravy recalled. "We had a bus dressed up like a whale that squirted water when we drove through the streets of Stockholm." GRAVY HAS been busy this week set- ting up tomorrow's spectacle on the Diag. He said 100 people are being sought to portray the world's population, with six representing well- to-do individuals and 94 making up the poor. "We'll give the rich some toy guns that shoot darts so they can protect their possessions," Gravy said. The poor, Gravy said, will be given only wooden bowls and spoons. Gravy said the event has no formal structure, as people will show up and sing and play instruments as they please. IN ADDITION to his other pursuits, Gravy has worked in presidential cam- paigns. "We were the first group to have a female black and white candidate run- ning for President," Gravy said, referring to a sow named Pigasus, which ran in 1958. "In 1972, we ran a rock for President and in 1976 began our "nobody for President" campaign. I worked as nobody's fool," Gravy added. Gravy and his supporters plan to be in New Hampshire so as not to miss the start of the 1980 campaign. GRAVY HAS also been involved in helping children with brain damage for over 10 years. "I am in the process of putting together a children's camp, called, High-Camp. It will be a combination kid's camp, center for birth,'and center for death," Gravy said. custommade rung paily Photo by WAYNE CABLE Remembrances of things past 'U' cheerleader Newt Loken enjoys the weather of the not-so-distant past, But it's unlikely he'll get the chance to do his thing again until next spring, and if he does, it won't be in shirt sleeves.
