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

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.

Aid ’87 as participants,

“This group has an overall
philosophy that is political in
nature — and in no way, shape
or form should they be funded
by incidental fees,” Munion
said.
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. IPX] member Katy
Howard raised the question of
uncertainty in next year’s
enrollment projections and how
