foreman news writer a group of concerned students gathered on die university center front lawn wednesday to raise awareness and money for the homeless in the lehigh valley and surrounding areas sponsored by the progressive student alliance and spear headed by eamon aloyo 03 the group hopes to increase campus awareness of the home less and get people at lehigh involved i did this to raise conscious ness as well as money for oxfam international and a local shelter because we thought that local as well as internation al aid was needed aloyo said the event lasted from 8 a.m until 8 p.m students were asked to donate money hygiene prod ucts canned food books clothes or even to just stop and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to be given to a local homeless shelter all money raised will be given to oxfam aj jada 04 stopped by to made a sandwich i think a lot of lehigh stu dents are well off and they realize this and a lot of them are willing to do something to give back to the community jada said catherine moran 02 said she enjoyed her time on the lawn and was glad she could help this was something fun and easy to do for a great cause she said sarah zurat 02 helped orch estrate the event she said she feels that this was an important event for students to participate in there are a lot of really good activities going on at lehigh and sometimes we get so caught up in them that we don't look outside the campus zurat said aloyo said that he and his friends had originally wanted the event to be a 24-hour sleep out but the university required 24 hour police surveillance which would have been too expen sive kristof lowyck 02 said we were disappointed that the univer sity wouldn't allow a sleep-out without having us pay for the police protection which would have used up all of our deviations aloyo said another way he felt that the university failed to help was in the area of donations wood dining services declined to donate peanut butter and jelly
