Cafe donates to program
■ The Community
Internship Program offers
elementary students a
taste of college life
By Sara Lieberth
Oregon Daily Emerald
Eating french fries has never
been so good.
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.

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.
