I Community and campus organizations are
holding food drives to help the Brazos Food
Bank in the midst of their busiest season —
the holidays.
| Providing food to families in need through-
It the year, the food bank currently lacks
Bpplies, but local and campus organizations
■e pitching in.
I Josie Peacher, executive director of the Bra-
■s Food Bank, said the needs are great.
B “Money always helps, but we especially
Bed pastas, meats, beans, rice and other sta
ph s,” Peacher said.
B In 1995 more than 84,000 people were helped
Bth 351,278 pounds of food. This year, the food
Bnk expects to serve more than 90,000 people.
B Bowever, the food bank had only received
s productions sucll-439 pounds of food as of August,
liam Shakespeare; In response to this need, KBTX is hosting a
nwide, after their food drive Tuesday, Dec. 17, from 6 a.m. to
isideration. 1|:30 p.m. at the Brazos Center,
urn the fourthinsfl John Boaz, assistant station manager, said
vith Sigourney BlTX is trying to collect enough food to stock

c children's films of the Brazos Valley,” he said. “KBTX celebri-
ing its Summer! ties will be there all day to encourage people
I share in the spirit of the season with some
listorical features ®liday gift giving."
nramcstarring Matt Ferguson, a sophomore petroleum
Cate Winslet of& engineering major, said there will be an on-
Bmpus food drive in conjunction with KBTX
ur-lovers beware bn Tuesday in front of Rudder Fountain from

nd I’m sure the
waiting its release
lum will be theory
8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“There will be a KBTX mobile truck with
volunteers from the food bank to run the
show,” he said. “With all the students we have
at this University, we should be able to collect
an enormous amount of food.”
The Brazos Food Bank serves 25 agencies,
such as the Still Creek Boys’ Ranch, Phoebe’s
Home, Sheltering Arms, St. Vincent de Paul
Society, Los Hermanos Ranch, and the First
Baptist Church of College Station. Each of
these agencies receives food once a week.
Casey Mitchell of Los Hermanos Ranch
said the food bank has made a big change in
its budget.
“There’s a lot of things we get from the food
bank that we wouldn’t be able to purchase,”
Mitchell said.
Mitzi McAllister, coordinator of the food
pantry for the First Baptist Church of College
Station, said the majority of their food comes
from church members, but the food bank
gives them much-needed items.
“Every Tuesday, our pantry is open for
Bryan-College Station residents to receive as
sistance once every 30 days,” McAllister said.
Peacher said the Thanksgiving holiday
was successful.
“It went really well,” Peacher said. “We pro
vided food for over 2,000 families through our
agencies. Donations slow down, but the need
doesn’t. There’s a lot of people to serve.”
Many Aggies have helped the food bank
during this holiday season by collecting 600 to
700 pounds of food. Alpha Phi Omega, Aggie

tion are a few campus organizations that have
donated food items.
Peacher said students who live on campus
should look for boxes in their residence halls
to deposit unwanted food.
“This year, we’re also going to have a truck
on campus for students to drop off food
items,” Peacher said. “Don’t throw away any
food because it will eventually help someone
who needs it.”
The KBTX food drive also is accepting vol
unteer help to sort and pack food.
“We are very grateful for all the support
from Aggies,” Peacher said. “We just don’t
want anyone to go hungry for the holidays or
any other time of the year.”

In the past, students who at
tend the ceremony have dis
played the joy of their accom
plishment by writing messages
on their caps or shouting while
crossing the stage.
Craig Clotfelter, an economics
graduate, said he has not decided
how he will show his enthusiasm.
“I have not come up with any
thing creative for graduation be
sides trying to find a way to stay
awake during the ceremony”
Clotfelter said the workless life
after graduation may be difficult
to become accustomed too.
“No longer will I have to do
papers,” he said. “But after a
month or so, I’m sure I’ll get
bored and want to come back
and do research.”
Nesi Lillard, a community
health graduate, said graduating
will allow her to enter into the
mainstream “adult world.”
“I am most excited about be
coming a real person,” she said. “I
cannot wait to enter into the
working world and not be a stu
dent anymore.”
