Or burgers, salads and draft li bations for that matter because sit ting down to a meal this evening at East 19th Street Cafe will allow for a bus load of sixth graders to make a field trip to the University spring term and see what college life is all about. In collaboration with the Uni versity’s Community Internship Program, the McMenamins estab lishment will donate half of all food and drink profits from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. to CIP’s middle school program, Building Blocks. Assistant Manager Kristen Collinge said the restaurant seeks out at least two charitable events per year and hosts benefits like this as part of the company’s mis sion to give back to the communi ties that patronize them. “We really like to help out with local efforts, especially with the University because so many stu dents come here,” she said. More than 25 students currently volunteer with the CIP program, visiting local schools and expos ing elementary and secondary stu dents to the opportunities higher education makes possible. Interns earn between one and five credits for the practicum, according to Er icka Guiney, who helped found and run Building Blocks last year. “We created it based on College Bound, the nationwide program that’s proven to be really success ful,” she said. “For 98 percent of these kids, this is their first expo sure to campus even though they live in town.” The spring term field trip lets participating kids tour the resi dence halls, eat in campus dining halls and visit classrooms, giving them a first-hand look at the col lege experience. Students from Howard and Adams Elementary and Brattain Elementary in Springfield are invited this year to take part. John Adams, events coordinator for CIP, said both the volunteers Building Blocks What: Benefit for the OP’S Build ing Blocks middle-school program When: 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. today Where: McMenamins East 19th Street Cafe, 1485 E. 19th St. Why: Half of all food and drink proceeds will go toward local stu dents’ field trip to the University spring term and the young students benefit from the program, now in its sec ond year in Eugene. “Volunteers tell the kids not only about college but about the avenues to get there, that it’s acces sible,” he said. “And we find that the kids just love it, get that feel for what to do when you get here. ” Adams and Guiney each said they hoped holding the benefit would encourage students to want to help out and “join the spirit of giving” the program promotes. “Help children reach their full potential and make the communi ty a better place by simply helping yourself to great food and drink,” Adams said. Human rights continued from page 1 Included in this debate was a person referred to by the pseudo nym Oxblood Ruffin, who is a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow. Ruffin said the Cult of the Dead Cow is often called on to comment on hacking or “hac tivism” issues owing to its history and expertise in technical areas. “It’s much more helpful for people to meet hackers than to read about them. It’s important for people to see for themselves that we aren’t the cyber scoundrels that we’ve been characterized as being. By students attending this seminar it might change a few lives,” Ruffin said. Ruffin said he is currently work ing with a team of developers to produce a software application that will make certain Internet informa tion available to people in coun tries like China and Saudi Arabi where the government blocks and censors Internet content. Daniel Stotter from Bahr and Stotter Law Offices offered a workshop at the conference about the Freedom of Information Act and public records access. “I hope participants will use the public record laws to ensure and to empower participants to be able to watchdog government agencies and to prevent govern ment abuse in the human rights area,” Stotter said.
