The quality you want at a price you can afford Cyclists to cross United States to raise money for Third World By Gary Henley Or the Emerald The success of Bike-Aid '86 has encouraged the Overseas Developement Network of Stan ford, Calif., to establish Bike Aid ’87. Bike-Aid is a unique nation wide project created to gather funds and public support for self-help programs in poor areas of the world. It has become an annual cross-country bicycle ride that starts from several West Coast locations including Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles and includes a route from Austin. Texas, and possibly a route from Canada this year. All groups eventually con verge in Washington, D.C.. then finish the trip together by pedal ing to the United Nations in New York City for two days of festivities. This year's event will begin June 17. Bike-Aid is sponsored by the ODN (founded in 1983), a na tionwide alliance of community and campus groups, and is stag ed with the help of volunteers. ODN has established campus chapters at more than 40 LJ.S. colleges. In 1986, Bike-Aid par ticipants raised about $100,000, 50 percent of that amount was matched by ODN campus chapters and given to small self help projects in the Third World. Thirty percent goes to other non-profit organizations with the same causes. Ten per cent funds students' internships in Africa and India, and 10 per cent is used on ODN’s American project in Appalachia. "Fifty percent of the money raised goes to ODN, which in turn spends it on Third World countries. And starting this year, 16 percent will go to Ox fam America.” said Amy Lodato, the media coordinator for Bike-Aid '87. From the West Coast the trip is roughly 3,300 miles, with bikers traveling an average of 65 miles a day. Individuals can raise money for the project by making dona tions, sponsoring a rider for four cents a mile, organizing a local Bike-Aid event, publicly NOW OPEN at Franklin Center 2001 FRANKLIN Across from Joe Romania /Food Value PRECISION i "SPECIALISTS IN CUTTING HAIR" • NO APPOINTMENTS •FREE SELF-SERVICE BLOW DRY •GUARANTEED 110% SATISFACTION • AGE 7 AND UNDER $6 • ADVANCED TRAINED HAIRSTYLISTS 2001 Franklin Blvd. #4 484-3143 Monday-Fnday 9 to 9 Saturday 9 to 7 Sunday 1 2 to 5 PRECisiON Uuts Gift Certificate $900 Mm All Services Offer expires Feb. 28, 1987 Precision L*uts — - Gift Certificate $700 Jm AH Services Offer expires feb. 28, 1‘J87 promoting Bike-Aid in local communities or actually riding with Bike-Aid for all or part of the way. “We feel Bike-Aid was real successful last year.” Lodato said. "There were about 80 bikers last year who made the entire cross-country trip. “College students make up a large percentage of the bikers, although last year there were people ranging from ages 14 to 56 who made the trip,” she said. Lodato explained that people who make the trip do so because they believe in the causes, they’re avid bicyclists or they “enjoy meeting people and making friends along the way.” This year, Bike-Aid and the Harvard-based “Cyclists Fighting Hunger” will combine their resources, experience and enthusiasm for the event.

Kirk stressed incidental fee money has never been used for any of the organization’s political and lobbying activities. “OSP1RG is a single organiza tion with two seperate bank ac counts. We keep fundraising money seperate from incidental fee money. The money we get from fundraising is used for lob bying and sponsoring ballot measures,” Kirk said, adding that the organization employs an accountant specifically for the purpose of keeping the two accounts seperate. Some concern was also raised over OSPIRG’s request for $2 a student a term a year in inciden tal fees.
