Hands Across America expects small student draw

By EUGENE PAK
Although student involvement in
this month's Hands Across
America (HAA) chain appears
limited, officials remain hopeful
that many Michigan residents will
participate.
Jane Edwards, head of the
organization's Michigan branch,
said around 150 residents will par-
ticipate in Toledo, Ohio, the
nearest link in the chain that will
stretch from Los Angeles to New
York City.
THE EVENT, SCHEDULED
for May 25, is designed to raise
money for the hungry and

homeless in America. It qualifies
as the largest and most complex
charity event in history.
Edwards attributed the low
student involvement to the event
being scheduled during spring
term, when fewer students are in
Ann Arbor. She did not know exac-
tly how many students are par-
ticipating.
Other Michigan groups in-
volved, she said, include churches,
small businesses, and high school
students. She called the chain, "a
tremendous event, a Guiness Book
of World Records type of thing."
EDWARDS, who marched in an-

ti-war demonstrations in Ann Ar-
bor and attended Woodstock, said,
"It's very easy to be cynical about
(HAA), but the fact is you've got to
get beyond that. It's an oppor-
tunity, of very little effort, for
people to participate and have fun
for a worthwhile cause."
Working out of a small offfice in
the Michigan Union, Edwards, a
returning University sophomore
after a 17-year absence, and
others have chartered buses and
distributed information en-
couraging Michigan residents,
especially students, to participate.
HAA officials expect to raise

between 50 million and 100 million
dollars for the hungry and
homeless in America. According
to HAA information, 20 million
Americans go hungry each month,
and about 25 million are homeless.
50 percent of HAA revenues will be
used to support existing programs
for the poor, and 40 percent will be
directed toward development of
long-term solutions and projects.
THE REMAINING 10 percent
will be used for direct emergency
aid for the hungry and homeless.
Statistically, Hands Across
America will be an enormous and
unprecedented event. The line will

extend about 4,137 miles, cross 16
states and the District of Colum-
bia, and touch 22 major
metropolitan areas. The human
chain will pass within 200 miles of
sixty to seventy percent of the U.S
population. Six to ten million
people will be needed to form the
chain, about 1,320 per mile, and
over 250,000 volunteers will stage
the event.
Hands Across America has
enlisted the aid of local officials
across the country to provide sim-
ple necessities like parking and
portable bathrooms.
