When John DiMucci started the first Cabrini AIDS walk-a-thon team four years ago, there were 10 team members.

Now, over 70 members will represent the Cabrini community at the 1998 Philadelphia AIDS walk on Oct. l 8.

DiMucci, a campus minister for the past four years, thought that the AIDS walk was something that would be good to get involved in.

"Even if you don't have HIV," DiMucci said, "at some point everyone on this campus will know someone who has AIDS."

DiMucci and the rest of Cabrini's team hope to increase awareness of the insidious disease by participating in the walk.

All of the members of the Cabrini team have raised at least $10 from various sponsors, and many have surpassed that goal.

Each person on the team raises money for each kilometer walked about raising students' consciousness of AIDS.

The money 1s then distributed to various AIDS organizations in the Philadelphia area.

"I like to make people aware of AIDS and the its consequences," Carpenter said. "I want to help [AIDS awareness] any way that I can."

The walk starts at The Philadelphia Art Museum, but there are activities all day. Beforehand, there is a group stretch and live music.

The walkers then begin their trek down the West and East river drives.

Theft

It was reported that a fax machine was taken from the Student Government Association office. It was last seen on July 1, 1998. Radnor Police have declined their services to this complaint at the current time.

After the walk, there is more live music, food and drink and a reading of the names of all those who have died from AIDS in the Philadelphia area.

Many different groups are involved in the walk.

There are many schools, churches, civic organizations, colleges and private groups who participate in the walk.

Carpenter enjoys the diverse crowd that walks every year.

Next to a Lutheran church team, for ex- ample, one may see a transvestite walking in high heels.

Besides the obvious monetary goals, Carpenter's goal is that more faculty will get involved instead of all students.

DiMucci wants Cabrini to continue to be a "pace-setter'' team as it has been in the past

This means that in the past four years, the Cabrini team has brought in 30 percent more money than the previous year.

Last year the Cabrini team raised $2800, and DiMucci hopes to surpass that number this year.

Both Carpenter and DiMucci hope that everyone on campus will realize what an important event the AIDS walk is.

DiMucci encourages all to participate and gives one final word of advice to all students and faculty.

"If you can't walk, sponsor somebody," he said.
