Over 55,000 college students

registered to vote for the 2014 mid-

term election

throughout Or-

egon.

Student rep-

r e s e n t a t i v e s

joined with the

Oregon Stu-

dent Associa-

tion to register

college students on over 21 Oregon

college campuses for the 2014 elec-

tion.

“This voter registration drive

reaches out and engages all stu-

dents to impact positive change in

their communities. We are building

student power in this state so that

our elected oficials will prioritize the issues students care about, “

said Gabe Gardiner, a student at the

University of

Oregon and a

lead volunteer

on voter reg-

istration drive

there. “Stu-

dents record-

e d - b r e a k i n g

engagement in

this voter registration drive proves

that students are not apathetic and

that when we are reached out to,

we will have our voices heard,” he

added.

Campus Word

We asked four students, “What was your most memorable

Halloween costume?”

Alli Bilodeau, NursingMy dumbest costume I had was a

pumpkin.”

Leroy Kissee, BusinessMy weirdest outfit would be a makeshift bum. I just kinda put on all the clothes out of my moms closet. And the best outfit that I wore would be...Probably that one, actually. Because everybody looked at me

like I was a bum, so it was pretty cool.”

Kory Marlowe, English Education I went as Jesus one Halloween. I had, you know, the thorns, the robe, you know, I did it all the way up. I even had my Bible with me, I had the Holy

Water, you know. I mean, your going to be Jesus, you gotta go all the way up...I should have had the water and the wine, would have made it better, but

I didn’t do that.”

Sydney Hinze, NursingSo I think my favorite Halloween costume ever is

going to be this year and it’s going to be the statue of Liberty.”

Despite improvements, women still

are a minority in jobs pertaining to

Science, Technology, Engineering

and Math.

According to a 2005 survey from the

American Association of University Wom-

en, only 15 percent of women in their fresh-

man year of college declare a STEM-related

major, compared to over 25 percent of men.

This is because of biases, both conscious

and unconscious, held against women in

STEM ields, according to the AAUW.In 1955, Becky Plassman’s mother was

one of three women in the country with a

degree in physics.

“She was often denied jobs because she

was a woman,” said Plassman, a mathemat-

ics professor at Central Oregon Community

College.

Plassman believes the biases previously

held against women entering STEM ields are slowly going away.

“It’s getting better,” Plassman said.

“However, it’s not ixed. You have to have the guts to keep going.”

Although more women are graduating

with STEM degrees, fewer are actually get-

ting jobs in those areas, according to Taran

Smith, advisor for the COCC branch of the

AAUW.

“Just because there are students graduat-

ing with STEM degrees doesn’t mean they

are going into the ield as careers,” Smith said.

Getting women to pursue careers in

STEM is something that the COCC AAUW

is working to promote. According to Smith,

every year the AAUW funds resources, ma-

terials, training and support for programs

promoting STEM education for women and

girls. Smith believes that female disadvan-

tage in STEM starts in middle school when

children are put in different math courses.

Since girls are often placed in lower math

levels, often due to unconscious stereo-

types, by the time they reach high school

they are already behind.

Even though job opportunities in STEM

ields have shown growth in past years, Tra-

cy Dula, career advisor at COCC encour-

ages students to only enter a ield they’re passionate about.

“Students should make sure its some-

thing that they’re passionate about,” Dula

said.

Gender inclusive bathrooms are be-

coming a national norm. In July

of this year, over 150 educational

facilities in the nation had gender inclu-

sive facilities, according to the University

of Massachusetts Amherst’s LGBTQ or-

ganization The Stonewall Center. Central

Oregon Community College is now join-

ing this movement and currently has eight

gender inclusive bathrooms on the Bend

campus.

Karen Roth, the director of multicul-

tural activities for COCC, is one of the

driving forces behind the implementation

of gender inclusive bathrooms on campus.

One of the necessities of gender inclu-

sive bathrooms came from past instances

of violence against transgender individu-

als who were told they were using the

“wrong” bathroom, according to Roth.

“These bathrooms offer a more private

and perhaps safer place for our transgen-

der students and staff as well as those tran-

sitioning in their gender identity,” Roth

said.

In addition, the restrooms can create a

safe environment for families, according

to Roth.

COCC student, Michael Lopez, com-

pared the gender inclusive bathrooms to

the type of family-friendly facilities often

available at recreation and aquatic centers.

“It really is no different,” Lopez said.

W ith the high price of

school today, students

often must get creative

to ind money beyond inancial aid. Students often turn to available op-

tions like loans, grants, scholarships

and FAFSA to come up with the

funds to inance their education.“The Financial aid process starts

online with the FAFSA,” said Kevin

Multop, director of Financial Aid at

Central Oregon Community Col-

lege.

Students can apply for inancial aid before the beginning of fall term.

The application asks for the students

personal information and members

living in the household.

“For students who need extra

help with their applications COCC

also offers FAFSA workshops,”

Multop added.

These workshops are offered in

every campus regularly, the advi-

sors can help you ill your applica-

tion or in special cases.

The most common question

about inancial aid is about refunds, the FAFSA process and the require-

ments, explained Multop.

New this year however, is a spe-

cial partnership COCC has forged

with US Bank, according to Seana

Barry, director of admissions and

records for COCC.

“COCC has partnered with US

Bank starting this term,” Barry said,

“Students can now choose their

refund method and they have the

choice of direct deposit, a check-

ing or savings account or a pre-paid

debit card issued by US bank or they

can go by check mailed to their ad-

dress.”

The new change this year, ac-

cording to Barry, was prompted by

the departure of COCC’s old partner

Sallie Mae which pushed the school

to ind a new, modern alternative for refunds.

“We had a partnership with Sallie

Mae, then Sally Mae was bought out

by HigherOne and that prompted us to go out and research to see and

look at what other options are out

there including HigherOne. But we [found] US Bank as a better partner

[with] better options for us,” Barry

said.

COCC and the inancial aid de-

partment encourage students to ap-

ply for inancial and scholarships. Although not all students are eli-

gible for grants or scholarships, all

students can get loans, and some

can get a federal work-study job

which, in the long run, helps offset

the overall cost.

New Voters:Continued from page 1

One of the main goals of this

year’s campaign was to ensure

that all students, regardless

of race, sex, socio-economic

status, ethnicity, age, cultural

background, religion, sexual orientation or other factors,

vote.

“This campaign is so excit-

ing because we have engaged more students in the electoral

process than we ever have

before, than anyone ever has before. This is setting a state-

wide and national precedence,”

said Torii Uyehara, a student

at Southern Oregon Univer-

sity and chair of the Statewide

Student Vote Committee. “We

made it one of our priorities this

year to register students on our

campuses that had been histori-cally disenfranchised from the

voting process. We engaged

students from all communities,

all walks of life, and all political

viewpoints in this drive.”

Historically higher educa-

tion tuition increases have been held off due to high numbers of voters, according to Justin War-

ren, ASCOCC Vice President of

Legislative Affairs.

“For lower income people,

it becomes easier to get higher-level education if you get your

vote out there,” said Taylor

Richards, a COCC student.

On the Central Oregon

Community College campus,

over 1,345 voters registered just shy of the 1,500 goal.

“Oregon has become a role model to other states, when it

comes to voter representation,”

said Warren. “This was the larg-

est non-partisan voter registra-

tion campaign in Oregon.”

The work is not nearly

over, with 3 major steps in the process; the steps being voter registration, voter education,

and “GOTV”, or “Get Out the

Vote”. The last step is crucial.

It ensures personally ensuring

students have submitted their ballot.

“Have your ballots in by No-

vember 4, and get educated on voting,” Warren said. “Know

your ballot. It’s your vote, use it how you want.”

“Think what it would be like if the Andes glaciers

were gone and we had millions and millions of hungry

and thirsty southern neighbors, it would not be an easy

thing to deal with,” R. James Woolsey Jr., a national secu-

rity and energy specialist and former Director of Central

Intelligence for the Central In-

telligence Agancy, said in 2011.

Mark Carey spoke to a full

audience on receding glaciers

and the impact on humanity.

Carey, associate dean and as-

sociate professor of history at

University of Oregon’s Robert

D. Clark Honors College, visit-

ed Central Oregon Community

College Bend campus on Oct.

16 to discuss his research.

Carey earned his Ph.D in his-

tory from the University of California, Davis, and held a

Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Geogra-

phy department at the University of California, Berkeley.

“As a historian, there is a human story here,” Carey

said. “I want to know how this affects people’s lives.”

Carey’s current research on glaciers focuses on the

North Atlantic.

“The sinking of the Titanic brought worldwide atten-

tion to icebergs because many of the people on that ship

were wealthy and famous people traveling from Europe

Going into any job

interview, you

know you’re go-

ing to get some tough

questions. Knowing how

to answer them in ways

that are both honest and

powerful can help you im-

press the interviewer and

land the job.

Here are some perfect

answers to some of the

toughest interview ques-

tions.

What is your great-est weakness?

This question is a com-

mon one. Try giving an

answer along these lines:

“In the past, I was un-

able to meet set deadlines.

However, several years

ago, I developed a tech-

nique where I write down

what I plan to accomplish

every hour of every day

during the workweek and

how I spend my time. Over

the years, I have noticed

that my productivity has

improved dramatically

utilizing this method. In

fact, my work supervisor

recently complimented me

in a staff meeting with a

dozen of my peers for con-

sistently exceeding team

and individual expecta-

tions as well as managing

my time well.”

You’ve probably iden-

tiied a weakness in antici-pation of this question. An

answer that shows you’ve

solved it can illustrate your

problem-solving capabili-

ties.

Tell me about your worst boss.

It can be tempting to

trash your former manager,

but you need to ind a way to put a positive spin on

this answer. Consider talk-

ing about what you learned

from your worst boss:

“My worst boss ever

taught me things like gra-

ciousness, the absolute

need for technical com-

petency and professional

respect -- these are core

characteristics to creating

high performing teams and

areas she may have chosen

to improve upon. I learned

through a series of very

dificult situations that ev-

erything about business

is personal -- personal to

me and certainly personal

to her. Speaking to others

with kindness and com-

passion certainly can take

you further in your career

aspirations. I was inspired

to support the people who

work for me, raise them up

to reach their potential and

encourage them to seek

greatness.”

What sort of salary are you looking for?

This is a hard one be-

cause you don’t want to

undercut yourself, but you

don’t want to price your-

self out of range. Ideally,

you’ve done some research

into the position and know

what’s reasonable, but you

can also ask for more in-

formation:

“That’s a fair question.

To answer it properly, I’d

need to know more about

the position responsibili-

ties and beneits package. I am quite conident that knowing the reputation

of the company, when the

time comes, any offer you

make will be competitive.”

Why should we choose you?

Consider taking this ap-

proach:

“I applied for this job

because this is the com-

pany I really want to work

for, not because I needed a

job. When someone comes

to a company they really

want to work for, they in-

vest more of their energy

and time into their career.

You should choose me be-

cause I made this company

my irst choice.”

Where do you see yourself in five years?

This is a hard one, be-

cause it’s dificult to pre-

dict the future. Consider

this forthright approach:

“I am both purpose-

ful and lexible so I never carve a path in stone. In-

stead, I try to be fully

prepared to maximize any

opportunity that comes my

way.”

to New York,” said Carey of the collision and sinking in

1912 of the famous ship.

So far, Carey’s work has revealed that after the sinking

of the Titanic, The Ice Patrol and U.S. Coast Guard were

founded to keep icebergs out of the shipping lanes. This

was then enforced by blowing up icebergs, towing ice-

bergs and drilling holes in the icebergs to install chemical

agents to melt the icebergs from

the inside out.

“The Military Hubris of the

1920’s, 1930’s and 1950’s was

that they thought ice was stable.

Often they just made smaller ice-

bergs that were more of a hazard

to ships than the large ones they

could see,” Carey said. “But ice

was too dynamic. It melted and

moved too fast and the projects

were abandoned,” Carey said.

Carey’s current book, In the

Shadow of Melting Glaciers, examines climate change in

Peru at a local level, speciically the looding and destruc-

tion of entire towns in Peru and the loss of life due to the

rapid melting of the glaciers.

“The disparity in the way developed countries and

undeveloped countries handle climate change and how

it affects their people is vast,” Carey said. “The glaciers

are melting because the temperature around the world is

rising.”

National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week at COCC

A woman parties with her friends

and dies from an alcohol

overdose. Another woman

drives drunk and ends up in a car crash,

burning her hands so badly she had to

have her ingers amputated. Those were a few examples on display for students

at COCC’s “Student Happy Hour” on

Oct. 23 for National Collegiate Alcohol

Awareness Week.

NCAAW started on Oct. 19 and ended

on Oct. 25. The purpose of the NCAAW is to raise awareness of the dangers of

alcohol and what happens when it’s not

used responsibly.

The National Institute on Alcohol

Abuse and Alcohol

Awareness reported

that 80 percent of

college students

admit to drinking

and approximately

3.3 million students

have driven while

under the inluence. It is estimated that

19 percent of college

aged students suffer

a dependency on alcohol, but only ive percent get help.

During the week, a car that was involved

in a fatality car accident involving driving

under the inluence of alcohol sat in front of the Campus Center Building.

During the event, put on by Campus

Public Safety, participants were able to

perform ield sobriety tests while wearing “beer goggles.” The goggles simulated the vision of an individual who is over the

.08 legal blood alcohol limit for driving.

During the ield sobriety tests, which oficers typically give drivers who show signs of being intoxicated, participants

were asked to walk heel-to-toe down a

line and then stand on one foot and count

to 25.

Don Doughty, a Campus Public Safety

oficer at COCC has seen his “fair share” of alcohol related incidents.

“There’s certainly a number of incidents each year involving alcohol,

whether it be minors in possession of

alcohol up through alcohol abuse, and also

other alcohol related calls, such as DUI’s

and disorderly subjects,” Doughty said.

Although students bringing alcohol to

campus or being intoxicated on college

property is not a frequent occurrence,

Doughty reported that it happens “at least

a few times a month.”

For those who

have brought alcohol

on campus the

consequences range

from “a written or

verbal warning, a

student conduct

hearing or even

suspension from

classes,” according

to Doughty.

During the event

in Wille Hall, there

were non-alcoholic

“ m o c k t a i l s ”

available for students. Upon entering the

room, students were given a paper card

that they wrote their name down on and

had pictures of cocktails on the bottom.

Every time the person got a mocktail, the

picture was stamped, and at the end of the

event when they turned their card in, their

supposed “blood alcohol” level would be

calculated.

The NCAAW hopes to promote smarter and safer drinking in college-aged students,

or no drinking at all and, according to the

organization, peer education is one of the

best ways to accomplish that mission.

A fresh look at Central Oregon’s

diverse art and culture scene


Juli Wright | The Broadside

With many costumes to choose from in today’s market, select-

ing one that is culturally sensitive is often far from people’s

minds, according to Jon Bouknight, communications pro-

fessor at Central Oregon Community College.

A costume that is “culturally sensitive” would avoid targeting a

speciic demographic of people with the intent of ridicule, accord-

ing to Bouknight.

A culturally sensitive and appropriate costume is “going to

be funny or scary, in an enjoyable way, to most of the people

who see it,”according to Bouknight.

“We like to take the ‘Gremlin’ of our current time and

turn it into a costume,” Bouknight explained.

In recent years this has often come in the form of

terrorist costumes. Bouknight explained that while the

costume itself might not be offensive, associating it

with a speciically Middle Eastern or Islamic look would be.

This does not mean that it is inappropriate

to dress up as something or someone differ-

ent, according to Ami Zepnewski, a Japanese

teacher at Summit High School. Every year, Zepnewski dresses up as a Sumo

Wrestler. Zepnewski believes that of-

fence typically comes when people mix

a variety of cultures in their costumes.

Mixing and matching cultural cos-

tumes often “promotes” or “inspires”

ignorance of a speciic culture, ac-

cording to Zepnewski.

“At least take the time to do

the research,” Zepnewski said.

Those who braved the cold, early morn-

ing hours on Oct. 8, 2014 were rewarded

with a rare sighting of a total lunar eclipse.

In total, the eclipse lasted from 3:25 a.m.

until 4:24 a.m., while the penumbra was

last visible at 6:05 a.m. What made this

particular lunar eclipse unique was that

it coincided with the rising of the sun in

many parts of North America, allowing

for a rare celestial phenomenon called a

selenelion, according to space.com.

A selenelion eclipse happens

just after moonset and before sun-

rise during a lunar eclipse, when it

appears for a brief period of time

that a partial solar eclipse is occur-

ring simultaneously.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the

sun and moon are aligned at 180

degrees from each other allowing

earth’s shadow to be displayed on

the moon. This astronomical posi-

tioning makes it impossible for an

actual solar eclipse to take place.

During a selenelion, the sun’s light

is refracted through the earth’s at-

mosphere in such a way that cre-

ates an image where both the moon

and the sun are together, when in

reality neither is present in the sky.

Refraction, the bending of light

in earth’s atmosphere, is also re-

sponsible for the presentation

of the “blood moon” during an

eclipse. Instead of earth’s shadow

completely blocking out the moon,

sunlight refracted through the at-

mosphere, which scatters shorter

wavelengths of light such as green

and blue and allows longer wave-

lengths such as red and orange to

pass through onto the moon’s sur-

face.

According to NASA, another

rarity of the Oct. 8 eclipse was that

it was the second lunar eclipse in a

trend of other called an eclipse tet-

rad. The first of the eclipse tetrad

was on April 15 of this year. April

4, 2015 will be the date of the third

eclipse, which will be succeeded by

final eclipse of the tetrad on Sep.

27, 2015. The 19th-century Ital-

ian astronomer Giovanni Schiapa-

relli was the first to understand the

fluctuation of tetrad successions.

While in the timespan of three cen-

turies, from 1582-1908, there were

no eclipse tetrads. Within the fol-

lowing three hundred years, from

1909-2156, 17 tetrads will occur.

While the last tetrad occurred in

2003-2004, the next tetrad will not

occur again until 2032-2033.

A partial solar eclipse also took

place on Oct. 23. The partial eclipse

was visible in Central Oregon from

12:38 p.m. through 4:52 p.m.

You dont have to blow your budget on extravagant costumes that you will only wear for one night. Here are some ideas that will help you keep your dime in your pocket while still allowing you to go out and have a great time with friends on the scariest night of the year.

1.Write the word “Book” on your forehead ... and just like that you become the world’s most popular social networking site - Facebook ...get it?2.Egyptian Mummy - you can never go wrong with a classic. Wrap white double-ply toilet paper all over your body, throw some dirt for a old look and you become a mummy. 3.You have an old white tank top that you hardly wear any more? - cut out circles in the chest area, pair it up with any purple shirt underneath and instantly you become Regina George from Mean Girls … the person everybody loves to hate. 4.Get a piece of cardboard or something to make a sign and a string. Using a marker, write on the board “nudist on strike” then tie it with the string and hang it around your neck like a necklace. Put the sign over your regular, everyday clothes and you become a nudist that is on a strike and decided to wear clothes for a change.5.If all else fails and you still haven’t had a clue, here is the best idea ever. Get a plain green button down shirt, a pair of loose tighty-whities and a pair of yellow working boots and just like that you become the infamous “Walter White” from Breaking Bad 6. Iron Chef - Wear a chef’s hat or an apron and hold a clothes iron7. Bottleneck- Grab an empty bottle from the recycling bin. Tie a string around its neck, then loop it around yours. 8. Pumpkin Pi - Dress in orange. Cut out a pi symbol from black paper (or print one out; type option + p) and tape it to your shirt. Look infinitely more festive.9. Buccaneer - Tape a $1 bill to each of your ears. Now you’ve got a buck an ear.10. Self portrait - Carry a large, empty picture frame (minus the glass) and hold it in front of your face.

Levi Penter never pictured himself

as a rugby player. When Penter, a

Central Oregon Community Col-

lege student, irst came to COCC as a freshman, he was a 6-foot-1-inch, 160

pound twig” with plans to eventually

run cross country for Concordia Univer-

sity. Rugby was the farthest thing from

his mind until a fellow classmate invit-

ed him to a rugby practice that would

change his athletic career.

“I was supposed to go to cross

country practice that day,” Penter re-

called. “I remember going to [rugby]

and seeing [Coach] Woody. He walked

up to me, grabbed my arm and said ‘You

could gain some weight,’ and then just

walked away ... By the end of practice, I

was hooked.”

Penter traded in his cross country

shoes for rugby cleats and started as

the Bobcats’ wing. Wings are offensive

positions whose primary focus is to run

up the ield and score “tries”-- the rugby equivalent of “touchdowns” in football.

His speed and endurance from his ex-

perience with running cross country

proved to become an asset for the Bob-

cats’ rugby team. With Coach Bennett’s

training techniques and Penter’s uncon-

ventional workout regimen of doing

manual labor on his family’s farm, his

body grew, and he worked his way up

the roster to become the Bobcats’ scrum-

half, the position he currently plays.

“I am like the quarterback in foot-

ball,” Penter explained. “I am the con-

necting point between the forwards and

backs.”

Like quarterbacks in football, scrum-

halfs are not only seen as strong athletes

but leaders in their sport. This level of

responsibility gains a player exposure

not only on the ield but off as well.Recently, Penter was invited to try

out for the USA Sevens, a premiership

rugby league team based out of Las Ve-

gas, Nevada. Premiership rugby is the

highest level an athlete can play in the

United States. Similar to the profession-

al football league in the United States,

athletes are usually invited to attend try-

outs after attracting the attention of spe-

ciic members of a team’s organization. Being a good rugby player begins

with being a “well-rounded” player, ac-

cording to Bobcat rugby coach, Woody

Bennett.

“[A good player has] to have a

knowledge of the game, while being

it and conditioned to keep the pace of the game… especially in Sevens. The

game is really fast-paced because you

only have seven players as opposed to

15 like we do here, so you gotta have

players who have speed as well,” Ben-

nett explained.

In his two-year rugby career at

COCC, Penter has proven himself to be

a player who could be premiership qual-

ity.

“[Penter] is a player who always

looks to improve,” Bennett said. “He

is mentally and physically tough. He

works hard on improving his skills and

expects others to do likewise.”

Penter will travel to try-out for the

USA Sevens in Las Vegas in Jan. 2015.

As January approaches, Penter main-

tains a positive attitude towards the pos-

sibility of playing at a premiership level.

“Most people hit their prime from

24 to 28,” Penter explained. “I’m 20, so

I have four years, but I’m very happy

where things have gone because of my

training [at COCC].”
