By Ron Wylie
Standing in the chilly dawn waiting for the
start signal, UNL student Phil Bailey explained
why he was participating in the Lincoln Walk for
Development.
"I thought it would be a nice comment on
mankind," he said, "to do our little bit to help
other people."
Bailey was one of 1,100 walkers trying to
earn money for domestic and international
programs aimed at reducing hunger and poverty.
"A lot of college students just go their own
way all the time," said Bailey, "and don't do that
much for other people. Today, I'm here to show
that some of us care."
Walkers raised money for hunger relief by
signing up sponsors who pledged a certain
amount per mile walked. Saturday's Walk for
Development encompassed an 18-mile course,
which began at UNL's Memorial stadium, led
west on A St. turned south to Pioneer Park and
returned to the stadium.
Running
One group of fraternity men was not only
walking for the project, they were running.
Tau Kappa Epsilon pledges Bud Skinner and
Joel Garret said their group planned to run the
18 miles as part of a public relations project,
donating all the money to the American
Freedom From Hunger Foundation.
They said TKE members had each pledged $2
per mile for their effort.
Another UNL student, Dennis Hunt said he
turned out for the walk because "local projects
like this are a good part of living in a community.
I like what this thing stands for."
Lincoln police motorcycle officers were on
hand to lead the walkers down 9th Street and
out of the business district.
During the first mile moving south, UNL coed
Gayle Gothier told why she was walking.
"Basically, it is something fun that is also
useful to help somebody."
, Concern
Jerry Markin, education director at a local
church and instructor of public health classes at
UNL, added, "I'm out here this morning, because
I have a real concern for seeing that some monies
get to some people who need it."
Along the route officials periodically set-up
checkpoints and initialed walkers 'walk cards as
a means of validating the amount of miles
covered.
Although the walkers were primarily students
from local high schools, junior highs, and
universities, a contingency of older' walkers were
easily discernible.
Grocery store employes Everett and Grace
Gardiner said they came along because of their
interest in their church's sponsorship of the
fund-raising project.
During the first few miles, the mob of walkers
stretched over-a five block line. As the miles
added up, the line became longer and thinner,
and after seven miles, the walkers were strung
out over a mile. They moved along in little knots,
50 to 1 00 yards separating the groups.
First aid
Police had first aid and communications units
stationed along the route to help distressed
walkers.
At the 12-mile point, the Pioneer Park picnic
areaLt. Randall Lyons, U.S. Army Reserve,
was waiting with a setup that included latrines,
first., aid treatment for those with blisters or
sprains, and transportation for those who could
walk no further.
Project organizers were also on hand at the
park with sandwiches for the walkers.
At the lunch-break, UNL anthropology major
John Murphy said he was enjoying the hike more
than he had expected.
'Ill do it again'
"1 did this so 1 could raise money for food for
folks who don't have any money," he said. "This
is my first time doing this, but I think I'll do it
again."
The final six-mile trek back to the stadium
took its toll and greater numbers of dropouts
were observed being trucked back to the starting
point. But, most of those who started kept
walking and limped back under their own power.
Walk organizers had expected more than
2,500 participants and forcast about $25,000 in
donations as a result. With the turnout of 1,100,
they could not estimate the amount of money
pledged.
