'Hunger Banquet' leaves minds full By Rachel Weeks [email protected]
Many are not aware that the average age of a homeless per- son is nine, or that single mothers head 92 percent of homeless i. • families. Raising awareness of homelessness and hunger in American and worldwide was the focus of Thursday night's Hunger Banquet. The -'. * event has occurred annually for over ten years, and money raised from the event will be donated to the Bulloch Shelter, Inc. Participants that donated five dollars were served dinner and got f • to choose a beautiful and crafted bowl made by pottery classes on campus. The extra hand sculpted will be sold for $ 15, if interested, contact the Office of Volunteer Services at 871-1435. Of the ap- §• • proximately 30 people in attendance at the banquet, very few knew exactly what to expect. Victoria DuRee, Administrative Coordinator in the Office of » • Volunteer Services, served as the narrator and began by explain- ing how no one gets to choose what social class they are born into, that it is purely a matter of chance. "Each persons place is randomly determined," she said, "Equality and balance don't exist here." # • Each person then randomly chose a slip of paper with a number on it. "One, two, three, who will you be?" Number one stood for first class, those that make up about 15 percent of the world's population. * # Number two represented the middle class, those who make up about 30 percent of the world's population, and number three signified those in poverty, or third world countries, that make up about 55 > * percent of the world's population. The meals each table consumed were also designed to represent an average meal by a person of that social status. The numbers used to determine the three status ^v 1 * groups were based on a world populations and incomes, not just the United States. Those who were lucky enough to choose a slip with the number one on it got to dine at a first class table set with fine crystal, china, silverware, cloth napkins, a bread basket and a leafy salad. There were only six seats at the first class table. The people sitting at the first class table represented the 15 percent of the world's population with an income of $9,266 dollars or more per year. Those who picked the number two represented the middle class and they sat at an ordinary table, with no crystal, china or silverware. f * They represented those people who are part of the middle class, those who make less than $9,266 per year..
