New bookshelf to enlighten students on IslamScott GreenstoneThe Broadside

New material in the library may help abolish stereotypes

in Central Oregon, accord-ing to Karen Roth.

A grant from the Nation-al Endowment for the Hu-manities was awarded to Central Oregon Community College’s Barber Library in January, according to Roth, Multicultural Director at COCC. The grant included 25 books and three films about Islam and Muslim ex-periences.

“We are hoping that this collection and our pro-grams,” Roth said, “will help to educate the campus and community.”

COCC will be presenting a series of lectures to in-troduce the material at the library throughout spring term, according to Karen Aylward, coordinator of the Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar program.

Spring is here, and that means it’s time to decide who will be

spending your money next year.

The end of the 2012-2013 school year will also mark the end of term for current Associated Students of Cen-tral Oregon Community College council. This may come as a relief to those who have been unsatisfied with the council’s performance this year. The question is, what are you going to do to ensure change?

Ideally, anyone with with strong beliefs on how a stu-dent government should function would run for office. However, we’re all students and not everyone has time for that; but everyone has time to vote.

If students don’t vote, we’re doomed to have a repeat of last year’s election. Last spring, only 340 students vot-ed to elect three council members. Three more council members were then appointed (one of whom happened to be the spouse of one of the elected officials). So of the six council members who have been controlling thou-sands of dollars in student money, three of them were endorsed by a tiny fraction of the student body.

Whether this low turnout was a result of apathy or lack of awareness is unclear, but it is clear that we can’t let it happen again. The six members of ASCOCC represent us as a student body, so it is our responsibility to do what

we can to make sure we are represented by the officials we selected. Not to mention, it’s our right to have a say in who is spending our money--why forgo that right?

Just like taxes, paying student fees is unavoidable. For every credit you take, you must pay an extra $1.50, which is placed under the control of ASCOCC; you don’t have a choice. However, you can choose three of the six people who will be spending that money. (Why do you only get to pick three of your government officials? Good ques-tion.) All of that money adds up, and the only way to ensure it’s spent in a way that benefits you is to vote. Be aware of who is running for council, and become familiar with their agendas and what they stand for. Know your candidates and be proactive about the future of your col-lege experience.

Of course, I’m sure you’ll have help. In fall 2012, ASCOCC launched a record-breaking

campaign to register new student voters and encour-age students to vote on issues that impacted them. This campaign included class visits and info tables amongst its strategies to raise awareness. I have no doubt that the council will pay similar non-partisan attention to pro-moting the ASCOCC election, encouraging all students to pick their favorite candidates and vote. Keep an eye out for information provided by entities like ASCOCC, Student Life and The Broadside so you will be aware of candidates, voting methods and deadlines.

It’s your money and it’s your college-- shouldn’t you have a say?

Vote, COCC, vote!

Vote, COCC, vote!

GRANT, from page 1Kambiz GhaneaBassiri, as-

sociate professor of religion and humanities at Reed College, helped put together the material for the collection. GhaneaBassiri will be presenting one of the lec-tures at COCC.

“It should be a very good pre-sentation,” Aylward said, “be-cause [GhaneaBassiri] has had a hand in creating this nationally.”

Aylward sees the grant and lectures as an opportunity to fight back against stereotypes in Central Oregon.

“Because of the wars [in Iraq and Afghanistan], we get bombarded with these nega-tive stereotypes,” Aylward said. “There are Muslims in the community who stay relatively quiet because of these prevail-ing stereotypes.”

The biggest issue with the common perception of Muslim people, according to Aylward, is “we don’t have an appreciation of the variety.”

People often have a tendency to view all Muslims as the same, Aylward said.

“There are 1.5 billion Mus-lims in the world,” Aylward said. “Now tell me there isn’t a huge amount of diversity. Muslims in Indonesia are way different than Muslims hiding in the outlying hills of Afghanistan.”

A kickoff presentation and reception for the collection will be held in the library on May 1, followed by GhaneaBassiri’s pre-sentation on Muslims in Ameri-can history.

Bingo, catered lunch and a family fun night : these were

some of the ways that Stu-dent Life welcomed stu-dents to a new term.

The series of events was part of Jumpstart, which is organized by Student Life at the beginning of each new term to help students get

acclimated to Central Or-egon Community College, according to Gordon Price, the director of Student Life.

“Opposed to an orien-tation, this is more of a welcome week,” explained Price.

Price believes Jumpstart is a way to “introduce” new students to the campus and also to welcome back other students.

“Throughout Jumpstart, and at the info fair, we try to

get students in touch with campus life,” Price said.

Some students at COCC’s branch campuses feel left out of the festivities.

Branch campus students expressed frustration that few activities are hosted outside of Bend, reported Eliot Collins, the director of Student Affairs of the As-sociated Students of Central Oregon Community College during their meeting on April 5.

In future years, Price said he would like to expand the Jumpstart program to be more inclusive of branch campuses, but the bulk of events will still be on the Bend campus.

“We don’t have the amount of interest needed to do Jumpstart full time at all other campuses,” ex-plained Price.

However, Student Life does want to make sure the branch campuses feel in-

cluded, according to Price, and they have things like bowling nights in the works for other areas.

Price believes Jump-start is an important part of COCC and hopes to see it continue.

“[The goal] is to keep do-ing Jumpstart,” Price said. It is a pretty cool program.”

Crowds at Mazama gym may be a little thinner this spring.

Users of Mazama gym facili-ties at Central Oregon Commu-nity College will be required to show ID cards with member-ship stickers as of April 8, 2013, according to Bill Douglass, di-rector of clubs and intramural sports, who overlooks opera-tions at Mazama.

Five new staff positions have been created specifically to check ID’s Douglass said. The new employees will be check-ing ID’s at entrances during peak usage times totaling 40-50 work hours per week. All wages will be paid for by federal funds through the work study pro-gram, according to Douglass.

The cost will remain $16 for students and $82 for non-stu-dents , according to Douglass, which includes access to the gymnasium and workout fa-cilities.

“It’s basically a little over a dollar a week that we are charging students,” Douglass said. “Any fees we collect go right back to the building.”

Changes to the enforce-ment policy are due to in-creased gym facility usage, explained Douglass.

“The main catalyst, I think, was overuse. With the recent growth of student enroll-ment we were seeing more students, but also more non-students,” Douglass said. “We felt like our students were

being squeezed out. Our first obligation is the students.”

Members of Student Life, Student Affairs and Health and Human Performance depart-ments came together to discuss the issue before deciding to en-force the policy, said Gordon Price, director of Student Life.

The decision was, in part, be-cause the increased usage was not reflected in fees received, according to Price.

“Especially in the last couple of years, we were paying out and not seeing anything in re-

turn,” Price said. “We looked at the fiscal side and tried to come up with a responsible solution.”

Adjusting to the new require-ments may take time, explained Price, but in the end, the new policy will benefit students.

“Change is hard, but there is a reason behind it,” Price said. “We’re just trying to serve our students better.”

Mazama gym stickers can be purchased at the Boyle Educa-tion Center.

WASHINGTON — Making college more affordable to more people continues to be elusive, and the recent recession hasn’t made it any easier.

States have cut their support for public colleges and universities — deeply, in some cases — and schools have raised tuition as a result. They’ve also dropped classes, eliminated faculty and reduced oth-er services to compensate.

For high school seniors nervously waiting for ad-missions decisions this spring from public colleges and universities, the recession’s impact might mean fewer acceptances, in some cases, and higher costs for many who do get in, according to a study on the impact of state education cuts by the liberal-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

“A lot of groups are calling for states to figure out a long-term strategy for funding higher ed,” said Julie Bell, the education program director for the National Conference of State Legislatures. “Almost nobody thinks states are going to return to where they were.”

States began trimming their budgets after the re-cession took hold in 2008, according to the center, a research group that studies the impact of government spending on low- and moderate-income people. Few took steps — such as raising taxes — to replace what they’d lost, it noted.

“It’s a really dangerous trend” because tuition will keep growing beyond what increasing numbers of people can pay, said Phil Oliff, an author of the re-port.

More than three-quarters of U.S. undergraduates are enrolled in public colleges and universities, ac-cording to federal data. More than half of the money those schools received last year came from local gov-

ernments, and most of that was tax rev-enue, the center reported.

But from Massachusetts to New Mexico, states on average are spending less per stu-dent — about $2,350 a year, or 28 percent — than they did five years ago, the center said.

Eleven have cut their financial support per student by more than a third, it found, while states such as Florida, Idaho, South Carolina and Washington have slashed even deeper, cutting back college support by nearly 40 percent or more.

Meanwhile, annual tuition at four-year-public colleges increased by an average of $1,850 — 27 percent — from 2008 to 2013, adjusting for inflation.

The College Board reported last fall that the average tuition and fees at four-year public universities totaled $8,655 for the 2012-13 school year.

Beyond tuition, the report noted that schools have found other ways to com-pensate for the loss in state aid: “Public colleges and universities also have cut fac-ulty positions, eliminated course offerings, closed campuses, shut down computer labs and reduced library services, among other cuts.”

At the same time that states and the schools they support grapple with money problems, student loan debt has been growing. Twen-ty years ago, fewer than half of students at four-year public and private institutions graduated with loans, according to Lauren Asher, the president of the Insti-tute for College Access and Success, a nonprofit group that’s working to make college more accessible.

Now, two-thirds shoulder an average debt of $26,600.

“The big driver of student debt is college costs have risen faster than family income and the availability of grant aid,” Asher said.

Do you know how to ef-fectively manage your time?

Time management is one of the most important skills stu-dents can learn to be successful, according to Carolyn Esky, pro-fessor of human development.

“Time management is piv-otal to success,” Esky said. “When you add more things like school, you have to either give up something, or learn to utilize time more effectively.”

An important part of time management is scheduling, ac-cording to Esky.

“For students, I suggest map-ping out a whole plan for the

entire term, then also a weekly schedule,” Esky said. “Schedule your plan at the beginning of the week.”

To be effective, schedules have to be specific and include everything you spend your time on, Esky explained.

“The more specific some-one is in their scheduling,” Esky said, “the better chance they will have at effectively using their time.”

Sara Henson, program co-ordinator of human develop-ment, agrees that scheduling is an important part of time management.

Students should allow ex-tra time for every task, ac-cording to Henson.

“There is often a planning fallacy, where students under-

estimate the amount of time something takes,” Henson said. “When planning, plan on everything taking longer because it is always easy to find ways to use up that free time if you have any left.”

Students may try to resort to to-do lists which can be helpful, according to Esky, but only if they use them in the right way.

“I’ve heard from my stu-dents that [to-do lists] are often overwhelming,” Esky said. “They can be helpful, but in reality it depends on what is doable for that specific person.”

Time management is driv-en by motivation and can be a learned skill, Henson ex-plained. For students who are entering their final term at COCC, it can often be easy to lose motivation because they have almost met their goal.

“What drives time man-agement and the desire to manage time is motivation,” Henson said. “[I see] some students losing motivation be-cause they can see themselves finishing, and often trade what is fun now for what is more im-

portant longer term, creating time management problems.”

To avoid losing motivation in their final terms at COCC, Henson explained, students should focus on the “bigger picture” and rewards along the way.

“[The] biggest key to mo-tivation is to focus on what’s the value,” Henson said. “Eco-nomically you’ll have a great career, but there are also the intrinsic rewards you get from achieving a goal such as mak-ing your family proud, being proud of yourself.”

Having clear deadlines is also important in managing your time, explained Henson.

“Set deadlines for yourself, even if the instructor isn’t setting them,” Henson said. “Set internal deadlines and clear goals that are spaced far enough apart.”

Time management is really about intention and attention, according to Henson

“Intention to allocate a lim-ited resource: your time,” Hen-son said, “and also attention to go into depth in time planning.”(Contact: [email protected])

Operation Don’t Go Broke is devoted to bringing readers helpful tips on ways to save in college.

Students struggling to make ends meet might not be able to afford all-natural “health foods” at every meal, but there are ways to eat healthy without breaking the bank.

Don’t waste money on “empty” calories. Stop spend-ing so much money on sugary beverages, processed food and fast food. Save your money for whole foods high in the nutri-ents your body needs like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Eat less meat. Many Ameri-cans consume more meat than recommended. Buy high-quality meats and fish, but eat smaller portions. Affordable protein alternatives include: beans, eggs and legumes.

Cook up large batches and freeze leftovers. Casseroles, soups and chili are perfect for freezing. Having a freezer stocked with these dinners will keep you from going out when you don’t have time to cook.

Make it from scratch. Pre-pare your own sauces, dress-ings and broths to lower your grocery bill and sodium. Keep “the basics” on-hand and dis-cover new recipes online.

Load up on whole grains. Oatmeal, brown rice, whole-grain pasta and whole-wheat bread offer more of the fiber your body needs to feel full.

Snack on fruits and veggies. Keep bananas, apples, oranges, baby carrots and celery around as go-to snacks.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among college students, according to Linda Porzelious, a li-censed psychologist.Porzelious provides personal counseling services to Oregon State University-Cascades students.

Suicide prevention is important, explained Central Oregon Community College’s CAP Center Director Vickery Viles, because it is a very serious problem.

“We have lost students here at COCC to suicide,” Viles said. “It is a real problem and a preventable situa-tion.”

Free personal counseling is available to students taking at least one credit at COCC and to non-credit students in the Adult Basic Skills program, according to Viles.

Over 30 percent of college students report being “significantly stressed,” explained Porzelious.Finding a job and repaying student loans after graduation is weighing on the minds of OSU-

Cascades students, she said. Many are concerned about entering an uncertain job market.Porzelious refers students to the career counselor, and emphasizes the importance of

staying focused on the present, which is something Sharon Richards suggests to COCC students as well.

Richards is a licensed clinical social worker who provides personal counseling to COCC students through a partnership with St. Charles Behavioral Health.

“I see so many students who are just over-the-top stressed out,” Richards said. When students express anxiety over repaying student loans, Richards encourages

them to stay in the “here and now.”“When finances are a huge struggle,” Richards said, “it just leads to this ripple-

effect that affects absolutely everything.”As the economy “plummeted,” Richards said she went from dealing with students

presenting with “lighter” issues like test anxiety to counseling students with more serious problems like chronic depression, suicidal thoughts and psychotic breaks.

“It got so much more intense,” Richards said.A majority of students Richards meets are living solely off student loans. A student she recently counseled, is struggling with severe depression that he at-

tributes to isolation by an inability to do the things he loves that cost money, according to Richards.

“College students today are dealing with more stressors due to finances,” Porzelious said. “As a counselor, I can’t really solve people’s financial problems. But occasionally I can point them toward agencies that can help. What I do is try to help [students] find ways to deal with the stressors that they have in their lives.”

What do you do if you suspect someone you know is contemplating suicide?“Don’t ignore it,” Richards said. Don’t be afraid to

come out and ask, “Are you feeling depressed? Are you having suicidal thoughts? Do you have a plan?”

Use the “QPR” Method.Question about suicide.Persuade them to get help and to be there with them to get the help they need. Refer them to the counseling center, therapist or crisis hot-line.

Call 911. If you believe someone is at risk, report it to the police.

Take good care of yourself, emotionally and physi-cally. Get sleep. Eat well. Exercise.Get out and socialize. Have at least one or two close friends, you can talk to. Get out and do things.Don’t be too critical of yourself.


Megan McGarvey is a first year COCC student who suffers from clinical de-pression. “I’ve seen the bad side,” McGarvey said, “when kids don’t get help.”

Two weeks before her senior year in high school a friend of McGarvey’s saw “no way out” and took his own life.

McGarvey’s friend, Joe, showed all the signs of being depressed, she said. “He was an outsider. He shut people out.”

“It was really sad because he was a really nice guy,” she said. “Even today I still wonder, if there was more that I could have done.”Joe’s suicide was a wake-up call for McGarvey. It opened her eyes, she said, when she realized other people experience some of the same feelings she had.“At one point I was suicidal,” she said. “I was lucky. I got help.”High school was a difficult time for McGarvey.“It was miserable,” she said. “You wake up feeling like you just don’t want to move. You don’t want to do anything. You don’t feel normal. I was an outcast.”Cutting was McGarvey’s “release.” She said she cut her wrist just enough to feel pain.“The pain counteracts what you feel inside,” McGarvey explained.After being diagnosed with clinical depression, McGarvey met other “cutters” who, like her, used cutting as an escape.“When you hold everything in that’s when the suicidal thoughts get worse,” she said.“But when you can just let it out, let everything off your chest, you feel better.”In spite of ongoing treatment, McGarvey is still susceptible to symptoms.

“I still suffer from time to time,” she said. “It’s a constant battle to keep going.”When she is falling back into a “slump,” she said, she suddenly will lose all interest in hobbies and staying focused on school work becomes

a challenge. “Once I notice, I try to get myself going again,” McGarvey said. “It doesn’t always work and it can take a lot of time.”

Since starting yoga, managing her symptoms is much easier, something McGarvey believes is because exercise boosts the body's natural endorphins.

“Yoga helps just let it all go,” she said. “I’m going to stick with it... because I love it.”McGarvey’s goal is to offer hope to others suffering from depression.

“You can get through it. There is a way out,” McGarvey said. “You don’t have to resort to suicide because because there is help.”

Depression is a very prevalent illness, but there is still a stigma that’s associated with mental health issues, explained Richards, which is why many people suffering from depression hide their symptoms.

“Some people are super uncomfortable with [depression]. It’s a taboo subject they don’t want to talk about,” Richards said. “It’s really sad. I am constantly trying to educate people.” People who have not struggled with depression, Richards said, aren’t always aware that, if people could choose, they would not choose depression.“The ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ mentality is unhelpful,” Richards said. “All it does is make people feel more shame on top of how bad they’re already feeling.”

People who may appear to lead perfect lives could be severely depressed, explained Porzeli-ous. “They might be cheery when you’re around,” Porzelious said, “and maybe only the people

who are closest to them really know they’re miserable.”Symptoms of depression include: changes in appetite, sleep problems, decreased energy, difficulty

concentrating, feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, bad moods lasting two weeks or more and suicidal thoughts, according to Richards.

However, each case of depression is unique, explained Richards. So if someone notices any combina-tion of symptoms in a friend or loved one, she said, he or she should find a way to talk to them about it.

Weekly Trivia:

Led Zeppelin ”Stairway to Heaven”Album: Led Zeppelin IV

Often referred to as one of the greatest rock songs of all time, Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to

Heaven” spans over eight minutes, progressing from acoustic guitar and vocals to a smooth jam and finally to the most recognizable guitar solo in classic rock. Robert Plant’s lyrics paint pictures throughout the song, and Jimmy Page’s solo creates a climactic crescendo, solidifying it as an

epic rock song that tran-

s c e n d s the de-

cades.

Jimi Hendrix“Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”Album: Electric Ladyland

This song showcases everything that made Jimi Hendrix such a leg-

endary musician. The opening licks of “Voodoo Child” immediately catch the

listener’s attention, making it one of the most recognizable song introductions of all

time. With its perfect pitch, timing, and selec-tion of E minor pentatonic notes, Hendrix’s

guitar solo for “Voodoo Child” is some of the best lead guitar ever recorded. This

timeless classic solidifies Hendrix among the accolades of history’s best electric guitarists.

Classic Rock SongsPink Floyd“Time”Album: Dark side of the Moon

Nestled comfortably in one of the most praised progressive rock albums of classic rock,

the song “Time” perfectly showcases all of Pink Floyd’s progressive and space rock elements. It begins with some ambient guitar, drums and clocks chiming. This sets the stage for what the song is digging at: time slipping away. A bump-ing bass line and a fantastic lead solo p a c k s a punch in the middle while

vocals and a slower pace dissolves

the song to its finish.

Alice Cooper“No More Mr. Nice Guy”Album: Billion Dol-lar Babies

The 70s were the golden

years for the founding father of shock rock, and “No More Mr. Nice

Guy” was among Cooper’s greatest

releases during the era. Aside from having

the kind of rhythm you’d want to blast on your car stereo with the windows rolled down, the song’s lyrics are relatable to

anyone who has ever felt beaten down by

the daily routine. To this day, “No More Mr. Nice Guy” remains the anthem of the fed up and pissed off.

Aerosmith“Walk this Way”Album: Toys in the At-tic

With Steven Ty-ler’s charis-

matic vocals and Joe Perry’s signature riff, “Walk this Way” is one of the most quintessential classic rock tracks ever. This blues-funk hybrid made Aerosmith a household name and still draws fans to this day. The continued longevity of “Walk this Way’s” pop-ularity has al-lowed Aero-smith to t h r i v e f r o m genera-tion to g e n e r a -tion as one of the most successful rock bands of all time.

Rock climbing, backcountry ski-ing and exploring over spring break is a way for students to

learn leadership skills.The Eastern Sierra Stomp was a

trip facilitated by Cascades Adven-tures, an Oregon State University-Cascades program that included three days of rock climbing in Ow-ens Valley near Bishop, California. The group also spent a day back-country skiing in the Sierra Nevada mountains and a rest day exploring

ancient bristlecone pines in western Nevada.

“It allows these guys a chance to get into an unfamiliar environment,” Jeff Myers, Cascades Adventures advisor said.

Myers, along with three Tourism and Outdoor Leadership students, used the trip to develop trip leading skills.

By planning their own itineraries, gear lists and meals, the students were preparing to lead similar trips them-selves, Myers said.

“It’s a sweet opportunity to get ac-tual experience,” said TOL student Roarke Jennings, who led the group backcountry skiing.

Adrian Dearing will be graduat-ing from the TOL program in 2013 and values the experience he has gained through Cascades Adventures.

“You learn to facilitate a group, how to be a leader,” Dearing said. “We focus a lot on communication and group dy-namics, contingency plans, looking at the big picture. [These are] things that you will need in any career.”

Cascades Adventures gives students the chance to experience the outdoors in a variety of ways, free of charge, ex-plained Myers. Activities range from snowshoeing in the winter to canoeing in the summer.

“There’s room for personal growth

when you are out there,” Dearing said. “It’s [a] good place for personal reflec-tion.”

In the future, Myers hopes to expand the scope of Cascades Adventures, opening it up for more students to ex-perience the value of the outdoors.

“We hope to work with other areas of the college,” Myers said, “academic areas like art or physics.”

Details on future Cascades Adven-tures events can be found on OSU-Cas-cades’ website.

Two Burns freshmen bring competition to COCC club baseball

Anna QuesenberryThe Broadside

Tyler Cooper and Nolan Stamke have been playing baseball together since they were tall enough to hold a bat.

The two freshmen, who grew up together in Burns, Oregon, are playing very well on Cen-tral Oregon Community College’s club Base-ball team, according to coach Matt Greenleaf.

COCC Bobcats are 2-0 in the Northern Pacific West conference National Club Base-ball Association. COCC is the only community college in a league made up of universitiy club teams, explained Cooper.

“Going up against the big schools definitely adds to the competition factor,” Cooper said.

COCC won their first two games against Portland State University, in March.

Cooper hit a home run, his first at bat, which won the game with a “walk off.”

”It was bottom of the last inning. We were tied 8-8,” Cooper said. “Nolan was on first [base] and I hit a home run to win the game 10-8. It was a good first game.”

Samke has played catcher, shortstop and pitcher. I play “wherever they need me,” he said.

Pitching is a “mental” position, Stamke ex-plained, that comes with a lot of pressure.

For the first five innings against PSU, Stamke gave up zero hits pitching.

The Bobcats have two home series sched-uled April 27-28 and May 4-5 that will be held at Vince Genna Stadium in Bend.

Stamke and Cooper love baseball, for the competitive-ness.

Baseball has always been a passion for Cooper. “You just become part of the game,” Stamke said. Growing up in a rural town of under 3,000 people, there

were limited recreational activities for Cooper and Stamke.“Play sports,” Cooper said. “That’s all we did.”Stamke and Cooper played football, basketball and

baseball for the Burns Hilanders. Their baseball team made it to the playoffs all four years, and to the semi-finals two out of four years, according to Stamke.

“We had a very competitive [baseball] coach. We played at a high-level,” Cooper said. “Club ball is more relaxed, but it still has its competitiveness.”
