By Ryan Horlen Evergreen staff Considering how many have been affected by cancer in some way, there are few nobler ways to spend a Saturday after- noon and Sunday morning than raising money for cancer research. “My grandma passed away from lung cancer and my uncle had a very rare form of cancer,” undecided freshman Nichole Hansen said. “I think everyone should try to get involved with the relay.” Beginning on Saturday, peo- ple will be circling Mooberry Track from 3 p.m. to 9 a.m. to raise funds for Relay For Life. “This is much more than a walk around the track,” the Relay For Life of Pullman website states. “It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived.” Event Chairman Mike Murphy said the relay origi- nated in the state. “It began in 1985 when a KEVIN QUINN/DAILY EVERGREEN surgeon ran around a track in Members of WSU’s Roots and Shoots, a campus group founded by Jane Goodall, march a dove through campus Monday in Tacoma to try and raise aware- recognition of the International Day of Peace, declared by the United Nations in 1981. ness for cancer research,” Murphy said.

region brief Average age of skiers, snowboarders rising ASPEN, Colo. — The customer base for ski resorts is getting older, according to a study released this month by the National Ski Areas Association. The trade group’s study shows snow riders’ average age was 36.6 years old last season, up from 33.2 in the 1997-98 season. The survey shows that while the number of skiers and riders 45 years old and older grew, there were proportionate drops in younger age groups. The survey also showed that skiers and snowboarders tend to be much wealthier than the overall population and are more likely white. About 61 percent are male. The ski association says 92 of 485 U.S. ski areas participated in the sur- vey last season and talked to 138,919 customers. The number of customers between ages 45 to 54 rose 5.5 percent over the last decade, while the number of customers ages 55 and older doubled in that time, the survey said.

Out of the ordinary Funny, disturbing or otherwise noteworthy news. New York seniors demand doughnuts MAHOPAC, N.Y — It was just another morning at the senior center: Women were sewing, men were playing pool – and seven demonstrators, average age 76, were picketing outside, demanding doughnuts. They wore sandwich boards proclaiming, “Give Us Our Just Desserts” and “They’re Carbs, Not Contraband.” At issue is a decision to refuse free doughnuts, pies and breads that were being donated to senior centers around Putnam County, north of New York City. Officials JOE LARESE/ASSOCIATED PRESS were concerned that the county Wearing protest signs, from left, Geoff Lock, Margaret Colesanti and Ann was setting a bad nutritional Donegan stage a pro-doughnut demonstration at the Koehler Senior Sudoku precedent by providing mounds Center Thursday. of doughnuts and other sweets to doughnuts and were too senile to Stan Tuttle, coordinator of seniors. make the choice for themselves. nutritional services for the county’s The picketers said they were C.
