He single-handedly pio neered the coat and sock drive on campus this term. For the drive, people are asked to donate new or used clean coats and socks. All of the clothing donated will aid the Portland Rescue Mission. There are several boxes in many of the buildings on campus, including Niemeyer, Roger Rook and the Community Center. Zink was inspired by an article in The Oregonian. The headline read, “Needy suffer as season of giving ends.” He called the college and spoke to a man who told him the donation season slows down just after Christmas. “It’s like a siphon,” Zink said. Zink posted flyers around his neighborhood encouraging com munity members to leave bags of donations on their doorsteps for him to pick up at a later date. When he collected the bags, he found 10 knitted hats and a pair of brand new gloves, as well as 200 coats and 250 pairs of socks. His first donation of clothing weighed 1,200 pounds. Though the boxes are always empty and it seems no one is donating, people are. Zink emp ties boxes regularly. The first box Zink dropped off m Streeter Hall on a Friday afternoon. By the following Monday, the box was full of donated items, including 25 coats. So far, Zink had 350 coats and 400 pairs of socks - but his goal is 500 coats and 1,000 pairs of socks. He organized the drive by himself. The boxes used are refrigerator boxes from Hamilton Appliances covered with white paper decorated by hand. Zink’s project is for his Boy Scouts of America troop. After a scout earns 21 merit badges - which is not an easy feat, according to Zink - he has to complete a 100-hour service project. “I’m going on three months, and I only have 70 [hours],” he laughed. Zink was home-schooled by his mother prior to the start of last term. He’s taking basic courses: math, writing, and the like. He plans on taking begin ning basketball next term. “I love basketball,” he said with a smile.
