Habitat supporters greeted by Carters
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, yesterday greeted an international group of walkers who hiked 1,000 miles across America to draw attention to the world's homeless.
"Everyone with one life to live wants that life to be significant," Carter told several hundred supporters of housing for the poor who had hiked through rain-drenched streets of Kansas City on the final leg of a cross-country walk that began July 30 in Americus, Ga.
The Carters led the group at the start of the walk for a 9-mile stretch from Americus to their hometown of Plains.
"Keep on doing what is right even if the future doesn't look very bright." Carter told the rally at Barney Allis Plaza.
Habitat for Humanity Inc., which organized the event, tries to build affordable houses in the
inner-city and sells them at no profit to poor families.
The group, headquartered in Americus, got national attention during the summer when the Carters joined volunteers in rehabilitating a New York City tenement for low income residents.
Carter suggested the public would benefit if the federal government adopted the Habitat philosophy of providing poor people with an ownership interest in their homes in order to foster self-esteem and neighborhood improvement.
He said Habitat practices what he called biblical economics.
"Bible says when you lend money to a poor person, you don't charge interest," he said.
A core group of 31 walkers marched the entire, 1,000-mile route, which took them through the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia and Missouri.
Key rings, ball-point pens and packages of peanut-butter cookies covered the display tables of various companies as they tried to impress students who attended the Business Career Fair yesterday in Allen Field House.

Epley stressed the importance of having a resume to leave with prospective employers, even at career fairs. She said they helped the company representative remember the student.
"I make notes on students who impress me," she said. "If they don't

to stay at one level their entire careers," he said.
Lisa Epley, employment manager for Hyatt Regency Kansas City, said she was impressed with the way KU students marketed themselves to prospective employers.
Kevin Arnold, regional recruiter for Kmart Apparel Corp., said his company was at the fair mainly to educate students about Kmart's advancement opportunities.

"Today's graduates aren't looking
Arnold also said many people who advance in Kmart Apparel must relocate frequently. Still, he said, many employees quit after 14 months when they are required to move.
