Locally the walk was sponsored by CCONAR (Cache Citizens Opposed to the Nuclear Arms Race),and despite poor weather the walk took place as scheduled. The 10-kilometer walk wound through central Logan, beginning and ending at Logan's Central Park. USU students were the majority of those participating in Saturday's anti-nuclear demon­ stration, labeled a Freeze Walk. It was part of nationwide effort to bring attemion to a proposed freeze on nuclear weapons.
