Oxfam from page 1 The banquet separated people by random drawing to be fed certain dinners. The dinners were meant to dramatize the unequal distribution of food around the world. They had 15 percent of people dining on a gourmet meal of meat and vegeta bles while using utensils and sitting at a table. Another 30 percent ate a meal of rice and beans sitting in chairs only and the remaining 55 percent ate meals of only rice and water, sit ting on the floor using only a banana leaf as a plate. The program’s guest entertain ment was Columbia-based singer Elaine Townshend. Amanda Goldson, an active mem ber of Oxfam Carolina, also volun teered in the Hunger Relay this past week in addition to the banquet. "When I’m faced with the real ity that of one in six people live on $1 a day, I feel compelled to do what ever I can," Goldson said about her contributions to the event. Last year, the Hunger Banquet raised about $2,000. This year more than 1,300 people are signed up for the Day of Fast, beating last year’s record of 1,200, Goldson said. Stacy Deery, a first-year gradu ate student, said the Hunger Banquet was an experience she won’t soon forget. "I was one of the one’s who had to eat the rice," she said. "And, believe me, it really opened my eyes. It’s really a great experience." The United States has the high est per capita income in the world, yet millions are living in hazardous conditions. The U.S. also ranks in the lowest percentage of access in terms of health car®, hunger and homelessness, according to the Oxfam Web site. "In the end it’s not hunger that kills; it’s apathy towards it." Wall said about the hunger issues in Amer ica. Hall also urged people to think about the week before Thanksgiv ing, The NaUonal Hunger and Home lessness Awareness Week, and re flect upon the hunger in the world before sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner. "While we sit down at the Thanksgiving table next week, near ly a billion other human families will be unable to provide themselves a meal such as ours." Hail said, "Thanksgiving should be as much about feeding the hungry and elim inating poverty as about eating our fill and counting our blessings."
