Some members of the USC
liaptist Student Union enlisted
local artist Blue Sky's help to get
Columbia involved in a nationwide
fund-raiser to feed
America's hungry and homeless,
according to a BSU member.
^ "Hands Across America," put
together by organizers of "USA
for Africa," involves 6 million
people holding hands from Los
Angeles to New York on May 25,
said David Burroughs, BSU
member and chairman of Columbia's
temporary "Hands"
chapter.
Each person in the line will
donate $10. The national group
plans to raise $80 to $100 million.
Because the line wasn't routed
to go through Columbia, Burroughs
called the national headquarters
and asked how Columbia
could get involved.
The national office told him
.mint ^iiics iar away irom mc line
are making and signing banners,
and taking them to the nearest
point of the line to say their city
supports the cause, he said.
The group decided to put this
idea in action, and asked Blue

"1 would like to see Columbia

give us a sense of identity," Sky
said.
The BSU members will take the
mural to the State House lobby
Wednesday, where USC President
James Holderman and
South Carolina Gov. Dick Riley
will sign the mural and take $1
donations for signatures from
representatives.
People can sign the mural with
a $1 donation Thursday and Friday
from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m on the
Russell House patio. WZLD-FM
radio will be broadcasting live at
this event from 1:30 p.m. to 5
p.m.
The group will provide concerts
from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on
those davs. Thursday has imt
been booked yet, but Bedlam
Hour will perform Friday, Burroughs
said.
The USC group set a $3,000
goal. On May 25 they will take
the mural, with all the signatures,
to the nearest line ? Memphis,
Tenn.
The overall program is being
co-chaired by four celebrities:
Bill Cosby, Pete Rose, Kenny
Rogers and Lily Tomlin. The
group will present a check to Bill
Cosby at the USC commencement
luncheon on May 17.
