The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 5, 1992 - Page 3 Locals march in hunger walk Organizers estimate fund-raising event will raise more than $40,000 to combat world hunger by Yawar Murad Hundreds of people flooded out. of the First United Methodist Church on State Street yesterday afternoon and strode through Ann Arbor streets to raise money for impover- ished people worldwide. They were participating in the 18th CROP Hunger Walk, an annual fund-raising event for programs that aid developing nations. The walk brought them in a 10- km. circle around central campus. It started and ended at the First United Methodist Church, briefly stopping at three other churches along the way. Walk organizer LaVerne Jackson Barker estimated that 550 people participated. She estimated this year's event will raise 20 percent more than last year's walk, which generated $40,328. The first walk in 1975 raised $734. Barker said people may have pledged more because of increased unemployment and poverty in the world. "I do think there is more need compared to last year," Barker said. Of the funds generated by the walk: 60 percent will finance interna- tional development projects in Bangladesh, Bolivia and Zimbabwe this year; 15 percent will cover expenses incurred by the walk, as well as fur- ther hunger education in America; and, 25 percent will be given to four local prograns that feed hungry people. These programs are the Salvation Army in Ypsilanti; the Ypsilanti Hunger Coalition; the Community Action Network, which provides. meals for children 12-18 years old; and the An Arbor Hunger Coalition, which provides three free dinners per week to needy people in Ann Arbor. Sister Dori Gapczynski, who has been participating, in the CROP walks for the past 15 years, said people participated this year with greater enthusiasm than before. The walk was organized by the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice, under the auspices of the Church World Service, an organiza- tion that funds self-help programs and development projects in third- world countries and sponsors such walks nationwide to raise money for world hunger. Ensian to feature more student events by Paul Garter Mention "yearbook" and what comes to mind? Tradition, nostalgia and politics? Or events like the Rose Bowl, grad- uation and, beginning this year, the Nude Mile? Does this sound different? The 1993 Michiganensian staff hopes to broaden its yearbook's appeal by expanding its coverage to include people, events and issues that in the past have been omitted. Its theme, "Raise Your Voice," is designed to promote greater student involvement by focusing on all the students and activities in the U-M, said Editor in Chief Megan Smith. In what Smith called a shift of priorities from previous years, the yearbook will include coverage of issues such as AIDS, sexual assault, abortion and the U-M's proposed 'I have heard similar complaints from yearbook editors across the country. When people are used to quality ... it's a quality- versus-time-constraint call.' - Stephanie Savitz former Michiganensian editor in chief student behavior code. Also included for the first time will be unconventional events such as Hash Bash and the Nude Mile, including photographs. This will happen without exclud- ing the activities traditionally associ- ated with yearbook coverage, such as sports and the Greek system. "We will try to include just about everybody," said Smith, adding that any group wishing to be represented is welcome. Much of the planning for the up- coming 448-page book is still under way. Smith said work has been de- layed because of the late release of last year's book. Instead of being distributed in April as is usually the case, the 1991-92 yearbooks were mailed out over the summer. The delay was s partly the result of basketball Final Four and hockey tournament cover- age, as well as a shortage of staff members. Stephanie Savitz, last year's Edi- tor in Chief, said only half the num- ber of people were on staff last year, as compared to the year before. "I have heard similar complaints from yearbook editors across the country," she said. "When people are used to quality ... it's a quality- versus-time-constraint call."

Kuwait election tests new gov't KUWAIT (AP) - Grandiose war memorials dot the landscape and gruesome picture histories cram bookstore shelves, but many Kuwaitis believe the true legacy of Saddam Hussein's invasion will emerge from the election today for the first parliament in six years. At stake are not just the 50 seats from 25 districts, but whether the ruling al-Sabah family and the par- liament reach a working understand- ing on what form democracy will take here. "The election itself is not democracy. Democracy is A to Z. The election is A of the alphabet," said candidate Hamad al-Juoan, a lawyer campaigning from a wheelchair after an unknown as- sailant shot him the day after Kuwait was liberated in February 1991. That was a time when some resis- tance leaders thought they might bar the al-Sabahs from returning until they guaranteed a total democracy. Those days are gone, mainly be- cause the shooting brought fears of violent civil strife. But the Gulf War did change the tone of the election. It is the first since the ruling emir, Sheik Jaber al- Ahmed al-Sabah, suspended parlia- ment in 1986 for its harsh criticism of royal ministers. "The invasion made people wake up. They felt they had to get in- volved in decision-making," said candidate Khalid al-Adwa, a prayer leader trained at Egypt's prestigious al-Azhar University. In the population of 650,000 Kuwaitis, only 81,500 men over 21 who can trace their ancestry to 1921 are allowed to vote. More women than ever partici- pated in the campaign, and many were frustrated that their daring re- sistance work was not rewarded with suffrage. Political parties are banned, but seven political groups ranging from Western technocrats to businesspeo- ple to back-to-basics Muslims are fielding*candidates. Most of the 278 candidates were running as independents. Polling hours are 8 a.m. (1 a.m. EDT) to 8 p.m. (1 p.m. EDT). Results are due by late tomorrow, al- though here too the invasion left a legacy. The Iraqis stole the Ministry of Justice computers and programs that did the counting, so the initial tally will be done by hand. The main issue is Kuwait's secu- rity - from both external attack and mounting internal violence. Others include stimulating overseas invest- ments that dropped from $80 billion to $40 billion during the war; re- viewing possible prewar miscalcula- tions like pressuring Saddam to sign a border agreement; streamlining multilevel citizenship laws and granting women the vote. The unspoken debate in an oth- erwise free campaign is amending- the constitution to prevent the par- liament from being dissolved and'to guarantee freedom of assembily, speech and press among others that come and go at al-Sabah whim. Islamic candidates are pressing to change the 1962 independence cd- stitution to make Islamic law t' only source of legislation instead of "a main source" as it is now. It is not clear how successful they will be in the election.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herze- govina (AP) - More humanitarian flights arrived in Sarajevo yesterday, but rainy weather hampered the aid effort to help people in the shattered capital survive the coming harsh winter. Relief officials fear the harsh Bosnian winter could claim hun- dreds of thousands of lives unless there are adequate supplies of food and fuel to feed residents of the be- sieged city. Power cuts have frequently left about 80 percent of Sarajevo without electricity. People run to line up at water trucks, and yesterday many put out pails to catch rainwater run- ning off the roofs. Warehouses in the city are empty, the only working bakery is producing only enough bread to supply the military and hospitals, and a lack of fuel is hampering distribution. "I have nothing," said Mark Vachon, a U.N. refugee coordinator in Sarajevo. "I can't keep stocks in the warehouse, I would be shot dead. People are hungry." Sarajevo has been relatively quiet in recent days, but fighting flared in several towns in northern Bosnia yesterday. More than 14,000 people have been killed since Bosnian Serbs re- belled against a vote in February by majority Muslims and Croats to se- cede from Yugoslavia. Serbs have seized about two-thirds of Bosnian territory. dents of St hunger Almost daily reports of Serb air raids have led Western allies to urge the United Nations to impose a "no- fly" zone over Bosnia. President Bush on Friday promised to enforce it militarily if necessary. But the commander of the Bosnian Serbs' air force, Maj.-Gin. Zivomir Ninkovic, said Saturday he would never accept such a ban. The Serbs have about 40 airctaft the Yugoslav army left behind when it withdrew from Bosnia earlier this year. The republic's Muslim-led 4e- fense forces have no aircraft. In Geneva Saturday, the Red Cross issued a stinging condemna- tion of continued Serb atrocities in Bosnia.
