Along with fliers and food do- nation boxes, ASCOCC has col- laborated with Central Oregon Community College’s financial aid department to help get the word out to students. “We’re working with finan- cial aid,” said Travis Peden, ASCOCC’s college relations co- ordinator. “[The financial aid department] will contact all the people on financial aid so that they know, ‘hey, you can apply’.” Students on financial aid can apply by filling out a straight- forward application, said Peden, which asks if they have complet- ed the Free Application for Fed- eral Student Aid, and reasons the food should be donated to them. “That sounds really good,” said Bradley McLaws, a COCC student, about the project. “I probably won’t donate any … I live up in the dorms; I’ve pretty much got nothing. But it’s a pret- ty good idea.” Other students also compli- mented the project and how it re- minded them of when they were dependent on similar food dona- tion projects. “It’s nice. It’s a good deal,” said Debbie Gilmer, a COCC stu- dent. “What it makes me think of is hopefully I won’t need it this year … there’ve been moments in the past where I have needed help from programs like this. “I probably need to find out more about where to donate the food … If I knew where a box was, that would be a more help- ful reminder to bring the food the next day.” Currently there are a few boxes set up around the campus, with more coming soon. “On Oct. 1 we started putting boxes out,” said Peden. “There’s going to be one in each campus building … There’s even one at the Redmond campus.” Last year many of the canned goods students donated were ex- pired, said Peden, which was an inconvenience for the staff sort- ing through the goods. “Hopefully people will be more mindful of that this year,” said Peden. ASCOCC brought in over 1500 items and assisted 85 stu- dents and their families last year, according to the ASCOCC page on the COCC website. “I think it’s going to be a re- ally good turnout,” said Peden. “We’re hoping to get 150 students and their families food this year.” You may contact Tobey Veenstra at [email protected] Thanksgiving food drive will give students a scrumptious meal “What it makes me think of is hopefully I won’t need it this year … there’ve been moments in the past where I have needed help from pro- grams like this.” -Debbie Gilmer Tobey Veenstra The Broadside With election day for the Oregon general elections right around the corner, students have a chance to vote on candidates who can affect their future col- lege education.

Once again, Associated Stu-dents of Central Oregon Commu-nity College has started a Thanks-giving food drive to provide students in need with donated canned goods this year.
Along with fliers and food do-nation boxes, ASCOCC has col-laborated with Central Oregon Community College’s financial aid department to help get the word out to students.

Students on financial aid can apply by filling out a straight-forward application, said Peden, which asks if they have complet-ed the Free Application for Fed-eral Student Aid, and reasons the food should be donated to them.
“That sounds really good,” said Bradley McLaws, a COCC student, about the project. “I probably won’t donate any … I live up in the dorms; I’ve pretty much got nothing. But it’s a pret-ty good idea.”

With election day for the Oregon general elections right around the corner, students have a chance to vote on candidates who can affect their future col-lege education.
One of these candidates, Walt Brown, a volunteer attorney run-ning for state treasurer, stopped by Central Oregon Community College to ask students for their vote.
“There’s a special, secret rea-son why students should vote for me,” said Brown. “The legislature is not selling any more general obligation bonds.”
Brown explained that general obligation bonds could be used to construct a research building at Oregon State University and con-struct more buildings for colleges.
Brown said he differed from current State Treasurer Ted Wheeler on funding for colleges.
“The legislature is not sell-ing any more general obligation bonds … because the current trea-surer is against spending more than five percent of the annual budget on bonds,” said Brown. “He (Wheeler) figures if we sell any more it’s going to hurt our bond measure.”
The money spent on the bonds for the college buildings would only bring the figure up to about 5.125 percent, said Brown. A figure he thinks “we could handle.”
Other candidates for state treasurer include, Chris Telfer, a certified public accountant in Bend, and Michael Marsh, a Mc-Donald’s maintenance worker, and Wheeler.
