During the week, schools, communities and cities take part in a nationwide effort to bring awareness to the problems of hunger and homelessness. This year. Aggies across campus are helping. Groups such as MSC Hospitality, MSC Film Society, MSC Fish, MSC Town Hall, the Volunteer Services Center and Twin City Mission are working together to sponsor events during the week to gather supplies and raise money for the less fortunate. Mitchell Kleckley, the campus and community executive for MSC Hospitality and a senior biomedical sciences major, said the purpose of the week is to “raise awareness for the problem of local and global hunger and homelessness, to raise contribu tions to aid local charities in their daily efforts to provide relief for those affected by hunger and homelessness and to provide the students, faculty and the general public with solutions - - and opportunities to get involved.” Kleckley said there will be a week-long jean drive to benefit Twin City Mission and an all-week change war between the three program councils of the M$C bene fiting Oxfam International, an organization that pro vides for those without sufficient food, clean water, shelter or security. In addition to week-long events, there will be events in which students can participate each day. Tara Boyle, a graduate assistant in the Volunteer Services Center and a graduate student in student affairs administration in higher education, said she encourages students to participate in the events. “The events (they) have planned for the week all work to dispel the negative myths and labels that sug- u I feel that we, those who are blessed and more for tunate, have a duty to pro vide whatever help we can to see that people don’t have to go to bed hungry at night or sleep in the streets. — Mitchell Kleckley senior biomedical sciences major and campus and community executive for MSC Hospitality gest that the homeless are someone else’s problem and that finding an end to hunger and homelessness is impossible,” Boyle said. Events such as the letter-writing campaign and “Fight Hunger with a Fork” give students a chance to contribute. The week ends with “Feed the Hell Outta t.u.” “Texas A&M and t.u. compete annually to see which university can collect more canned goods and non-per ishable donations,” Boyle said. Boyle said the Volunteer Services Center at A&M and its counterpart at the University of Texas will be accepting donations during the week of Nov. 12. “There will be an award given to the student organization that makes the largest donation to our ‘Feed the Hell Outta t.u.’ food drive. All of the donations will go toward beating t.u. in the competition,” Boyle said. Ron Crozier, director of communi ty relations for Twin City Mission, said the mission will be an active force during this week and will be working with student organizations to raise money and awareness. “We, Twin City Mission, got involved in the effort simply by ful filling our own mission, that is: ‘pro viding a home for the homeless, being a friend to the friendless and giving = hope to the hopeless,” Crozier said. Crozier said the Twin City Mission would not be as successful as it is today without A&M students. V “A lot of our success can be directly attributed to the relationship we have with the student organizations at A&M,” Crozier said. “Aggies unselfishly give so much of their time and resources.” Kleckley said the Aggies should help as much as pos sible and that it is the job of A&M students to help the less fortunate. “I feel that we, those who are blessed and more for tunate, have a duty to provide whatever help we can to see that people don’t have to go to bed hungry at night or sleep in the streets,” Kleckley said. “There is no rea son for us to sit back and watch others suffer when we can make a difference.” rer$il f e term of office (wfes^ i if a graduate sIvcM 5 '-’ ident) in tfie semester opointment and seme*' e met, at least six b’> ; ster; torial position on ffe cial newspaper, edia), r 1 McDonal November 12, 'tied to Diversity.
