The Michigan Doily-Sunday, October 17, 1982-Page 3 Hunger Project message: Every little bit counts Cypriot Ambassador calls for U.S. aid By ELISE PAFFRATH The idea that there is nothing in- dividuals can do about the problem of world hunger is just plain wrong, ac- cording to local hunger groups. Through yesterday's celebration of World Food Day, they continued their attempt to reach as many people as possible with the message that every little bit counts. A major goal of the Hunger Project, the organization that initiated World Food Day, is "trying to create awareness, according to Barbara Wise, a local member. This planet is able to support its inhabitants, she said, if people commit themselves to ending hunger. "IF THERE were enough people per- sonally committed, there wouldn't be the problem. Changing lifestyles even a little bit would make a difference," she said. For an example, Wise quoted a national grain publication, "if Americans were to substitute chicken for one-third of the beef they eat, they would save enough grain to adequately feed 100,000 people." Yesterday, the Hunger Project set up a booth at the Farmer's Market, hoping to draw more people to its cause by spreading the word. Already, Ann Ar- bor has a healthy number of organizations concerned with the problem, and all of them are working to heighten awareness. ON OCT. 3, 1,100 participants in the annual CROP walk raised more than $40,000 for local and international hunger coalitions, according to Wise. Another group, Oxfam, is sponsoring a Fast for a World Harvest Day Nov. 18. According to Bob Greg, a member of the Committee Concerned with World Hunger, efforts to organize a fast in University dormitories that day are under way. Students will donate money for the meals they skip while fasting, Greg said. "Of the money raised, we'll send half to Oxfam, and the rest we'll divide up locally," he said. ORGANIZERS of the various ac- tivities aimed at alleviatinguworld hunger stress the importance of in- volvement. "People can make such a tremendous difference, but they just don't realize it," Wise said. "Educate yourself,' says Tom Hayes, coordinator for the Interfaith Council for Peace, which organized the CROP walk. "There are certain ways of living that are healthy for the world." By HALLE CZECHOWSKI Nearly 100 Greek-Americans gathered in the Union Ballroom yester- day to hear Andreas Jacovides, the Cyprus ambassador to the United States, speak out against the continued Turkish occupation of his country. "Cyprus is a test case for aggression and injustice against a small country by a larger one," Jacovides said. "The Cypriots have turned to the U.N. for support, support which has yet to be found." CYPRUS, A small island located in the Mediterranean between Greece and Turkey, was ruled by Greece for 6,000 years until it gained independence in 1960. Turkish forces invaded in 1974, and now occupy 40 percent of the island. In addition to calling for the United States to push for support from the United Nations, Jacovides said American grassroots support is.impor- tant. "Raise your voice and demand that your taxes not be used to subsidize aggression in Cyprus," he said. THE AMBASSADOR spoke in Ann Arbor, he said, because it "raises the awareness of the people" and because "I find that addressing students is refreshing." Congressman William Broomfield (R-Birmingham), a supporter 'of Cyprus, was unable to make his scheduled appearance for the Cyprus Bay forum. He sent a statement, however, saying that a "peaceful solution in Cyprus is long overdue." Cyprus Day is meant to be a painful reminder of what has been happenihg on the island during the last several years, he wrote. Prof. Demetrios Politis, founder of the American-Hellenic Congress, which co-sponsored they event, accused Turkey of breaking two signed agreements with the United States by using the arms sent to them for war. "Unless the U.S. puts some pressure on Turkey, I don't see a solution soon ," Politis said. A film and Cypriot dancing-followed the speeches and discussion for the Cyprus Day event, sponsored by the American Hellenic Congress and the LSA Student Government.

PLO not welcome her O1 - From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - Any Palestine Liberation Organization representative among an Arab League delegation due here next week will not be welcomed by U.S. officials, the State Department said yesterday. According to reports from Rabat, Morocco, a PLO representative will be among seven Arab diplomats who will journey to Washington next Friday for talks with President Reagan. "WE WOULD not welcome any member of the PLO as part of the delegation nor do we expect any representative of the PLO to be a mem- ber of the delegation," said Susan Pit- tman, a State Department spokeswoman. The U.S. position is that the PLO "e, says ta must accept United Nations Resolution 242 calling for Arab countries to recognize the right of Israel to exist and to have safe borders. Until the PLO ac- cepts this, the United States will refuse to hold direct talks with its leaders. Miss Pittman declined to discuss what action the United States might take if the Arab League delegation in- cludes a PLO representative other than te Dept. -HPPENING- Sunday Highlight Greenpeace will have an open house at its new offices at 106 E.

Loan rates drop, no change expected in student use (Continued from Page 1 repaying interest 60 days after getting the loan. The PLUS program has more liberal eligibility rules but a higher rate and less attractive terms than the far larger Guaranteed Student Loan program. In- terest is nine percent on guaranteed loans, and repayment does not begin until after graduation, Zimmerman said. "WE DO recommend it if other alternatives are exhausted, but usually people would rather take a personal loan than use PLUS," Zimmerman added. In the fiscal year ending September 30, banks made $94.6 million in PLUS loans to 24,998 parents and 11,770 students, mainly graduate and professional students, department figures show. The program expanded dramatically since last year. From January 1981, when it began, through Sept. 30 of last year, only $27 million in loans were made to about 11,000 people. THE PLUS borrowing limit is $3,000 for parents of undergraduates, $5,000 for graduate students, and $2,500 for self-supporting undergraduates. Loans are made through banks. The loans mainly help students in high-priced schools, either professional schools or private un- dergraduate colleges, many of whom use PLUS to supplement guaranteed student loans, he said. The maximum limit on guaranteed loans-$2,500 for un- dergraduates and $5,000 for graudate students-is riot enough when some medical schools, for example, charge $12,000 for tuition, Martin said. Guerrillas assault Salvadoran capital (Continued from Page 1) telephone exchange boxes and dynamited two power poles in northern and central San Salvador late Friday, blacking out part of the capital for a short period. EIGHT MILES north of the city, guerrillas burned a trailer, bombed a firetruck and fought a half-hour gun battle with national guardsmen, a civil defense patrolman in the nearby town of Apopa said. He said two guerrillas were killed and two guardsmen woun- ded. About 4,000 troops backed by artillery and fighter-bombers battled guerrillas in Morazan province, some 120 miles northeast of the capital, in a counterat- tack after rebels overran three nor- thern towns, a local commander said. Correction In its Oct. 13 issue, the Daily mistakenly reported that the non- teaching staff salary increase of $2 million would be split among all the clerical and technical workers. Ac- tually, the $2 million comes only from the University's General Fund, and will go to 3,500 workers. The other 8,000 non- teaching staff will receive propor- tionate increases from other funds. ANN ARBOR INDIVIDUAL THEATRES 5th Ave of liberty 701-9700 Z A Defense Ministry spokesman said that troops had killed an American in Morazan, who he claimed was fighting with the guerrillas. COL. MARCO Aurelio Gonzalez said a fair-skinned man with Anglo-Saxon features was shot dead by troops after he tried to escape an arrest and allegedly seized a soldier's weapon and began firing. The man was identified as Michael Kline by the signature on about $500 in travelers' checks he was carrying. "They fired a warning shot, but he shot back and was killed," Gonzalez said. The man - dressed in khakis, with long hair and sandals - had been arrested for "looking suspicious" while riding on a bus 100 miles east of the capital.
