Facts and Figures on Poverty and America's Working Poor

The poverty rate in 2001 was 11.7 percent, up from 11.3 percent in 2000.

In 2001, there were 6.8 million poor families, up from 6.4 million poor families in 2000.

36% of persons living ln poverty are children-the 2001 poverty rate of 16.3% for children is is over 1.5 times as high as the poverty rate for any other age group. 7 Two trends appear in the rise in homelessness in the past 15-20 years: a growing shortage of affordable ' rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty.

. Two prime factors account for the increase in poverty: eroding employment opportunities for large seg· ments of the workforce and declining value and availability of public assistance.

Things are heating up again! The Center for Social Concerns is gearing up for another successful run of Project Warmth. Last year, over 2000 coats were received and distributed to sites all across the country, including the Appalachia region, Indian reserva­ tions in the Dakotas, and outreach facilities around the South Bend area. EVERYONE can participate! Starting October 28, immedi­ ately after fall break, collection sites spread all over campus will be eager to accept your coat donations. These sites include: Center for Social Concerns * Hammes Bookstore * LaFortune Information Desk* RecSports *Grace Hall* North Dining Hall * South Dining Hall * Campus Ministry/ Hesburgh Library *All Residence Halls * College of Business Administration * St. Michael's Laundry Distribu­ tion Center * Other sites will soon be announced!

In return for your coat donation, you will receive a coupon for 25°/o Off Of any new COat of your choice from the Notre Dame Bookstore. Keep that Fighting Irish spirit and generosity alive while fighting for the rights and dignity of the poor. Hall Competition As Project Warmth heats up again, so do the prizes for the two dorms with the highest percentage of participa­ tion.

Quarterback Bill in a recent game. Siegfried will enter the playoffs as the top seed. Bingle threw for 73 yards, three touchdowns, and a pair of 2- :uacbata. • Sa-.nba point conversions. Running back Tim Breitbach turned in a solid performance with 116 yards on the ground and nine yards receiving. "We usually try to put it on the ground first and then see what happens from there," said Bingle. The Ramblers ran five times on their opening, eight-play drive, which was capped by a 4 yard touchdown pass from Bingle. This became a trend in play-calling during the remain­ der of the first half. Breitbach gained substantial yardage to open drives, and Bingle capital­ ized when the Ramblers neared the end zone. "Those three guys - Bingle, Breitbach, and John Karp - have been our best on offense this season," said Torgenson. Karp caught Bingle's second and longest touchdown pass of 36 yards against St. Ed's on Wednesday. "The goal all year has been to return to the championship, and we're not going to stop until we do," said Torgenson. St. Ed's, on the other hand, managed only a spurt of offense. They opened the sec­ ond half with a nine-play, 65- yard drive. Joe Pomeranke made a diving catch in the cor­ ner of the endzone to put St.Ed's on the board. The heroics came too late, however. The 22-0 deficit Siegfried had built in the first half proved too much for the undermanned St. Ed's squad. With the dorm's baseball team playing in the interhall champi­ onship game, the St. Ed's foot­ ball squad was missing five starters. "We were short-handed against a very good team," said Zeller.
