Next year, your tuition will increase by 4.6
percent. On April 8, the Central Oregon Com-
munity College board of directors unanimously
voted to increase tuition for the 2015-16 aca-
demic year.
The decision to increase comes after COCC
went two years without seeing an increase in
tuition and fees. The proposed increase from
$87 per credit hour to $91 is expected to raise
around $600,000 in new tuition dollars, which,
according to Dean of Students Alicia Moore,
will be used to keep up the current level of ser-
vice to students and the current level of instruc-
tion.
In prior years, COCC was able to keep tui-
tion at the same level due in part to a monetary
grant the college received from the state of Or-
egon. However, this grant will not be available
for the upcoming 2015-16 school year, which
prompted school oficials to make decisions that would ultimately beneit faculty, adminis-
tration and students alike, according to Moore.
“It really is an incremental increase,” said
Moore. “It’s about $40 a quarter so that’s pretty
small in the grand scheme of things.”

Fewer classes put a kink in student success

The college’s decision to cut
classes from branch campus sched-
ules could be harming student suc-
cess.
Following a decrease in enroll-
ment at Central Oregon Community
College, ive classes were dropped from the Madras campus schedule
for spring term, according to Carrie
McCormick, enrollment ofice spe-
cialist at the Madras campus.
However, Madras campus enroll-
ment has not seen the effects of this
decrease in their student population,
according to McCormick.
“We are doing pretty well with
the student per class ratio, last year
we averaged 12.4 students per class
and this year we are averaging 12
students per class, so there really
isn’t that much difference,” McCor-
mick said.

In a shining exam-
ple of government bu-
reaucracy, the Oregon
Liquor Control Com-
mision has simulta-
neously screwed law
enforcement, recre-
ational marijuana us-
ers, taxpayers and law-abiding dispensary
owners.
You’ll be able to possess and smoke pot
come early July, but outside of growing it,
there is no way to legally procure weed until
late 2016.
According to Measure 91, best known as
the recreational pot bill, applications to sell
and produce marijuana will not be available
until Jan 4, 2016. These applications won’t
be processed until late 2016. So essentially,
for the year and a half between when weed is
legalized, and when dispensaries can legally
sell it, the OLCC is insuring that a projected
25.5 to 40 million in tax revenue goes directly
into the coffers of the black market.
Regardless of whether or not you sup-
port recreational marijuana use, this a huge
bureaucratic mistake. If you can remember
back, a huge piece of the “consolation prize”,
was that pot was going to be taxed, and that
that tax revenue was going to schools, law
enforcement and mental health. Estimates
state that the Bend’s allotment of the educa-
tion portion will be enough to hire 16 full time
teachers.
In fact, the taxation of marijuana in Colo-
rado has been so successful, that Colorado
might be forced to refund 30 million in mari-
juana tax revenue, thanks to a bill passed in
1992 called The Taxpayers Bill of Rights,
which puts a cap on the amount of tax rev-
enue the state can collect. OLCC is insuring
that our potential revenue can only be found
lining the pockets of those who sell marijuana
under the table.
Dispensaries are capable of selling recre-
ational marijuana today. According to Kevin
Fehrs, owner and operator of The Good Leaf
Organic Collective, a local medical marijuana
dispensary, all he would need to do is apply a
tax in the point of sale system, and he would
be good to go. There is worry about the ori-
gins of marijuana, but he also adds that the
average dispensary grows at least 80 percent
of its own product, and has a very good idea
of where the other 20 percent is coming from.
It’s not that the systems aren’t in place to sell
recreationally today, but rather for whatever
reason, OLCC has decided, in some ill-con-
ceived effort, to attempt to put off the inevi-
table.
According to Measure 91, the selling of
marijuana will be illegal for the next year and
half, but the gifting of marijuana is okay. So
where does that line get drawn? Perhaps a
dealer and a customer exchange ‘gifts’? How
is law enforcement supposed to combat such
a gaping loophole, let alone prosecute anyone
who is committing a crime that will be obso-
lete in matter of a year or two?
In one incredible oversight, or perhaps
through deliberate bureaucratic stupidity, the
state government and OLCC, has tied law-
enforcement’s hands, screwed taxpayers,
hampered law-abiding dispensary owners and
funded dealers instead of education to the tune
of 40 million dollars. Nice work guys.

LocalCOCC student scholars
Central Oregon Community Col-lege students John Fernelius and Lisa D. Mathishave been chosen as COCC’s members of the 2015 All-Oregon Academic Team.
As a 27-year-old high school dropout with a GED, Fernelius didn’t have the confidence to at-tend college. So he started with one class and gradually increased his course load. He found that he was fascinated by history and now his goal is to teach history at the high school or college level. As an additional benefit, college has helped him discover his potential for leadership, and he serves as president of the college’s Histori-cal Club. He plan to attend Oregon State University-Cascades Campus.A mother of five and a state-registered childcare provider for 23 years, Mathis started back to school one class at a time. She is working on her associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and plans to earn her bachelor’s degree in social services at OSU-Cascades Campus. She volunteers with the PTA and Boy Scouts. Mathis is con-sidering several career options: social services, as a state licensing specialist or perhaps as a higher education instructor.
Organized by the Oregon Com-munity College Association, the award recognizes community col-lege students for their academic achievement, leadership and ser-vice.Representatives of all of Or-egon’s 17 community colleges will participate in the event.
At the end of April, the students will attend a luncheon in their hon-or and meet with Governor Brown at the state capitol. Each scholar is eligible for a scholarship from most of Oregon’s public and pri-vate four-year institutions if they apply and are accepted at their school of choice.
KPOV heads into their 10th year
on the airKPOV, the only non-profit pub-lic radio station originating from Bend OR recently celebrated their 10th anniversary of being on air. All original programming was pro-duced by volunteer local DJs, as it still is today.KPOV was the first low-power FM station in the country to move to full power to reach most of Cen-tral Oregon. Recently, KPOV began a daily local affairs show, The Point, hosted by Central Oregonians and focusing on local issues, events, and happenings.
“While we have grown and
branched out, KPOV has also stayed true to our roots. More than 10 of KPOV’s earliest local music shows continue to anchor our di-verse schedule. We still focus on engaging our community in creat-ing high quality radio program-ming for Central Oregon.,” said Pearl Stark, KPOV station manager.
KPOV is a listener-supported, volunteer-powered, nonprofit community radio station that broadcasts at 88.9 FM and live on the web at kpov.org. High Desert Community Radio offers locally-produced programs not heard on any other radio stations in the area, including civic affairs, election cov-erage, and the most diverse music programming in Central Oregon.
Skier dies on Mt. Bachelor
A 29-year-old Bend skier died on Mt. Bachelor on April 30, despite life-saving efforts, officials said.
Peter Sky was on the Leeway run when he lost control and hit a tree, according to Deschutes County sheriff ’s Sgt. Ronny Dozier, Search and Rescue operations manager.
Ski patrol members brought Sky down the mountain, where they were met by Bend Fire Department medics, who took over life-saving measures without success.
Sheriff ’s deputies were en route when they were informed the skier had succumbed to his injuries.
Dozier said Sky was wearing ap-propriate gear, including a helmet, but that due to the nature of the significant injuries, he did not sur-vive, according to officials.Fate of COCC’s Bobcat Radio
hangs in the balance
A proposal submitted to Cen-tral Oregon Community College’s President’s Advisory Team (PAT) seeking approval and $25,000 for COCC’s KXBC-LPFM Bobcat Radio station and affiliated media arts and speech classes was denied on April 27, according to COCC Speech and Writing Professor Jon Bouk-night.
So far, funding has only been denied for the remainder of the 2014-2015 academic year, empha-sized Bouknight. However, it is still unknown whether overall approv-al for the radio station – which is required since COCC holds the Fed-eral Communications Commission construction permit – and its fund-ing will be approved for next year.
Despite this setback, the contin-ued relevancy of radio and student interest have kept Bouknight fight-ing to give COCC its first modern, student-run radio station.
“I will not give up trying be-cause I believe radio will continue into the digital age and even evolve
with Smart Radios and Transmit-ters,” said Bouknight.
Alongside Bouknight, COCC’s Media Arts Club students have been working hard for the radio station.
“I hope the students […] do not give up, but I can understand how this might be disappointing,” said Bouknight. “With their excellent attitudes and fresh ideas, they are the best part of the process. And the ‘process’ itself is good experi-ence for dealing with large institu-tions.”
NationalBaltimore police release rioters
Baltimore police released than half of the over 200 people they arrest-ed during riots early last week, ac-cording to a Fox News report.
According to Fox News, Mary-land Governor Larry Hogan at-tempted to keep the individuals while sorting out which officers had arrested which suspects and for what reasons but no headway was made.
The riots were sparked by the death of Freddie Gray who died in police custody on April 21.
On May 1, Baltimore’s chief prosecutor charged six Baltimore police officers with crimes of mur-der and manslaughter, according to the NY times and the Associated Press.
InternationalNepal earthquake strands
villages
The April 25 Nepal earthquake that killed at least 6,300 people and in-jured nearly double that as of May 1, has blocked aid from some of the countrys largest villages. Moun-tain villages such as Keura near the quake’s epicenter have been cut off from supplies and aid after landslides blocked the main roads in the village.
In Kathmandu, search and res-cue teams have refused to give up on finding more people in the rub-ble, according to CNN. Nineteen of the Nepal earthquake deaths oc-curred on Mount Everest due to deadly avalanches triggered by the quake.
The Nepal earthquake also pos-sibly made Mt. Everest a little taller or shorter, according to research-ers in a National Geographic re-port.
Geophysicists had warned for years that Nepal was vulnerable to a large earthquake due to it’s geol-ogy and architecture, according to the report.

Madras Classes: continued from page 1
For Kim King, a COCC student who lives in Ma-
dras, commuting to Bend or Redmond for class creates
a challenge.
“I have health problems, but usually it does not
stop me from attending college - until this spring term
when fewer classes were offered at the Madras cam-
pus,” King said. “ I just can’t do the drive to go to
other campuses and I rely heavily on the classes that
can be brought to Madras.”
John Chavez, academic advisor for COCC, works
with many of the students who attend the Madras
Campus said,
“Since there are fewer classes offered this spring,
students are having to attend other campuses or on-
line,” Chavez said, “I have seen a big increase this
spring in students taking classes online.”
Due to cost, it is often dificult for students who primarily attend class at the Madras Campus to come
to Redmond or Bend, according to Chavez.
“It is harder for students who usually attend [class-
es] in Madras since it is harder for them to ind trans-
portation to get to the other campuses,” Chavez said,
“whether it is a family member transporting them,
or riding the CET bus system, which costs $60 for a
monthly pass to multiple cities.”

A ten-year freeze on Pell Grant funding could limit
student inancial aid. The freeze was proposed by the United States
House Budget Committee and would “freeze the max-
imum Pell Grant at $5,775 for ten years,” according to
the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
“The grant amount actually increased from last
year to this year,” said Tyler Hayes from Central Or-
egon Community College’s inancial aid department. “Under current law,
the maximum grant at
$5,775 per student per
year for the 2015/2016
school year is scheduled
to rise with inlation to roughly $6,000 by
2017,” according to the
Center on Budget and
Policy Priorities.
“The Pell Grant pro-
gram is an important
resource,” said Kevin
Multop, director of i-
nancial aid at COCC.
President Barack Obama would still have to ap-
prove this proposal and, according to Multop, this is
unlikely.
“I can’t imagine our current president signing off
on any cuts,” said Multop. “These talks, they seem to
come up on a yearly basis. It seems like there is al-
ways a lot of talk around cuts. You never know how
these things will turn out or what the house will end
up doing. If the proposal is to cap it, to keep it level for
ten years was approved, we would see that as a major
setback for our students.”

Tuition increase: Continued from page 1
Even with the increase, COCC will
remain at the third most affordable
college option in comparison to other
larger universities and other commu-
nity colleges in Oregon, according to
Moore.
The revenue that will come from the
increase - aside from helping the col-
lege cover normal, everyday expenses
- is expected to help fund many of the
on-going adult-learner programs that
were brought forth by the newly cre-
ated internal budgetary process.
“[The internal budgetary process]
reviewed all the requests from across
the college and prioritizes those request
to the president and then the president
approves where those budget expenses
go,” Moore explained, “
A substantial amount of the new
budget dollars will go toward programs
that help the English language learning
program and programs assisting stu-
dents who have a low skill set obtain
adult basic skills and gainful employ-
ment, according to Moore.
Concerns over a tuition
increase
Increasing tuition gradually over a
larger period of time is generally bet-
ter than having one large increase in 20
years, according to Moore.
In discussing increasing tuition
rates, the board also considered if the
decision could deter prospective stu-
dents from enrolling. According to Ron
Paradis, COCC director of college rela-
tions, this will not be the case.
“History has not given us any indi-
cation that the level of tuition would
have an impact on enrollment,” Para-
dis said. “We can’t prove that it doesn’t
have any impact. But we certainly see
that some of the larger tuition increases
were the times where our enrollment
was going up the most.”
Paradis points out that in order for
COCC to keep offering the same high
quality standard of instruction, tuition
has to go up to enable the school to hire
more staff.
“[As is the trend] when enrollment
is down, we get less money and so we
also need fewer part-time faculty. We
look at a number of things and decide
what it is we want to do to provide the
quality of education,” said Paradis.
“One of them is what percent of the
courses are taught by full-time faculty
versus part-time faculty.”
Both Moore and Paradis said the
tuition increase was not at all related
to expenses accumulated through two
presidential searches and the Vice
President of Instruction leaving while
continuing to be paid.
“These aren’t factors that inluenced the decision to increase tuition,” said
Moore. “In terms of the Vice President
of instruction leaving or the second
presidential search that amounted to
nothing, we have a budget of more than
$40 million to work with and those two
elements combined are about a point
zero percent in expenditures of the en-
tire budget.”

OSU President rallies support for new Bend CampusKelli PangleThe Broadside
The future of Bend’s new four-year
campus was the main topic at the annual
State of the University Address.
At the $20 per head dinner attended by
nearly 400 community members and OSU
alumni, OSU President Edward Ray dis-
cussed the need for community support
and the plans for the new four-year uni-
versity in Bend.
“I expect us to prevail,” said Ray when
asked about the current delays with the
Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals deci-
sion regarding the Truth in Site organiza-
tion’s opposition to the proposed location
on Bend’s West Side and was optimistic
that this setback would only be a small
blip in the larger history of the university.
“You know, 30 years from now, nobody
is going to care when the irst building opened,” said Ray. “As anxious as many
of us may be or as frustrated as some may
be, in the long history of what I know will
be accomplished here, this is a footnote to
a very extraordinary future.”
However, he was adamant that the citi-
zens of Bend step up and show their sup-
port for the university.
“This is not a spectator sport,” said
Ray. “If you aspire to have your own four-
year college or university for 30 years, get
off your hands and make it happen. It’s not
going to happen if you don’t […] and it re-
ally depends on the people here.”
Looking to the future, Ray discussed
the university’s plans for region-speciic developments across the state – such as
the proposed new $50 million marine
studies campus in Newport and the new
wood manufacturing research lab in Cor-
vallis that is hoped to revitalize Oregon’s
timber industry – and plans to offer simi-
larly unique courses and programs that
are speciic to the demand of Central Or-egon’s students and economy.
“You want to have programs there that
speaks to the needs of the region and the
city and really provide people with the
skills to be successful in central Oregon,”
said Ray. “This needs to become a desti-
nation of choice as a campus, just as Bend
is a destination of choice for people who
appreciate quality living circumstances.
The two ought to be complementary to
each other.”

For the second year, stu-
dents had the opportunity to
give input and ask questions to
the future student leaders.
The Associated Students
of Cascades Campus council
members are hired by a com-
mittee instead of by student
election; however, at a pre-
hiring forum, the campus com-
munity had a chance to give
feedback.
The forum was created last
year to give students a voice
in the hiring process. Seven
ASCC applicants spoke at the
forum and addressed a vari-
ety of needs facing the student
body.
Each of the seven candi-
dates had an opportunity to in-
troduce themselves and let the
forum attendees know what
their goals would be if elected
to the council.
One of the topics the can-
didates were asked was how
they would better improve
relations between Central Or-
egon Community College and
OSU-Cascades.
“Clubs are trying really
hard to work together; that
would bridge the gap and
[would allow] the schools to
collaborate,” said Rylea Erick-
son who applied for legislative
director.
Camara Bedell-Stiles, who
applied for ASCC president,
said: “I want to have it known
that ASCC is out there in the
student body, this will im-
prove things and their visions
for COCC and OSU.”
In addition to discuss-
ing how they would bridge
the gap between COCC and
OSU-Cascades, candidates
discussed increasing events
and activities on campus to
improve student involvement
and success.
Each of the candidates also
discussed helping to create a
more diverse campus as well
as increasing ASCC’s presence
in the campus community.

OSU-Cascades: ASCC candidates in the hotseat
Meet the ASCOCC candidates
Lee Heckman
has been involved
with ASCOCC since
starting at COCC.
Heckman is cur-
rently the assistant
for organizations and
events and applied for vice president of
student affairs.
While working in student govern-
ment, Heckman noticed that there is
a lot of money available for students
that is not being used. Speciically, he is interested in making the Professional
Development Fund known to depart-
ment heads so that they can, in turn,
inform their students about it.
When Heckman considered running
for Vice President of Student Affairs, he
said: “I didn’t think I would be able to put
my name up all over campus saying,
‘Vote for Lee.’ I don’t want to tell people
who they should vote for.”
Because of his experience, Heck-
man said he would be able to jump right
into the position.
Conner Westover
applied for ASCOCC
president. Westover
has been working
as the ASCOCC co-
ordinator of student
organizations and
has gained leadership experience in
that role.
“I’ve gotten to meet a lot of people
from all walks of life. I have a general
understanding of what people want. I
feel like I would be a great person to
represent a lot of the voices on cam-
pus,” said Westover.
Westover is currently a business
major, but said he will soon switch over
to computer science. Westover believes
his interest in computers would carry
over to the ASCOCC president position.
He has observed that the COCC ofices do not take full advantage of its website
or digital resources. His goal is to update
the ofices and move away from using as much paper.
In the end, Westover is mostly
interested in “taking things one day at a
time” and making people feel close to
the school.
After Jorilynn Mess-
ner realized that the stu-
dent council is “right up
her alley,” she decided to
run for vice president for
Legislative Affairs.
Messner is majoring
in Anthropology with a minor in Political
Science. She has long been interested
in the different workings of government
and would eventually like to work with
the United Nations. Vice President for
Legislative Affairs is a chance for her to
learn more through experience.
Messner already has many ideas
and goals for this coming year. She
would like to give other students more
opportunities to get involved in politics
and wants to promote an app system
called LiveSafe, which is a mobile app
for college campuses that has many
uses. LiveSafe is mostly for reporting
crimes and suspicious behavior to col-
lege authorities or the police.
Jorilynn Messner said she is looking
forward to implementing these ideas.
“One of my talents is to learn really
fast and get a lot done. I’m deinitely not one to beat around the bush,” said
Messner.

Students interested in a career in health-
care or the medical ield may want to con-
sider a job as a caregiver.
According to executive director of As-
pen Ridge, Bryan Canahan, caregiving “provides a lot
of real world experience for
those in nurs-
ing.”
Careg iv ing facilities such as
Aspen Ridge are
willing to work with a variety of different sched-
ules including
the schedules
of part-time and
full-time students. Aspen Ridge is continu-
ously hiring due to a high turnover rate, ac-
cording to Canahan. Current caregiver and COCC student
Kyle Davenport, “it’s not an easy job and it does take a certain kind of person but if you’re the right kind of person for it, it’s very rewarding.”
While there are plenty of people out there looking to ind a job for the sole purpose of paying the bills, these types of workers do not make it past the irst 90 days at Aspen Ridge, according to Canahan. The way Canahan sees it, Aspen Ridge is “hotel resort with long term residents.”
Sherie Tews, 54, was manager at the Epcott Center at Walt Disney World and when she moved to Bend
she was con-
ident that she would be able to ind a job with a stronger focus
on the “hands on
helping of other
people rather
than the business
part of it”.
“Caregiving was my niche and I knew there were plenty of those jobs here,” Tews said.

On your mark, get set, go. A race might not be what you think of in relation to mathematics, but that is exactly what the regional math competition was.
On April 16, a select few high school students participated in the 37th annual Central Oregon Community College Magical Math Skills compe-
tition. The top two students from each high school math class in Central Oregon were invited to come to compete in math races ranging from pre-algebra
through calculus, according to Donna Raymond, an Associate Professor of Mathematics at COCC.
“The competition helps bring students together and get them excited about the subject in a com-
petitive environment,” Raymond said. “Encouraging the math students to have fun and
enjoy is one of the main goals that the instructors and professors try to promote,” Raymond said.
This year, Raymond had a personal reason for her interest in the competition. Raymond’s daugh-
ter, Claire Raymond qualified as a freshman to
compete for Summit High School.
“It made it more exciting for me since my daughter qualified and it made her self-confidence level come way up,” Raymond said.
There were a number of events throughout the day. Some included quizzes in certain categories, and there was a scavenger hunt along with a relay
race where students of the different schools race against each other. Students would run down to a table, answer a math question and race back to tag their teammate.
Rebecca Christeansen, a sophomore from Sum-
mit High, participated in the race for the first time
this year. For her, the event was both “fun and nerve wracking.”
“It was not as challenging during the morning quiz as I thought it would be,” Christeansen said.
Christeansen was one of only two sophomores selected for the competition, according to Fred
Christeansen, Rebecca Christeansen’s father. “She rocks when it comes to Math and she is
seriously smart,” Christeansen said.Charlie Naffziger, Chair of the Math Depart-
ment at COCC, passed out the awards at the end of the competition. In addition to trophies and certificates, the top winners were given entrance to the state competition later in May.

Thanks to cadets, Campus Safety response
times have decreased.
The cadet program has assisted in both
crime prevention and response times,
according to cadet coordinator, Chris March.
“Sometimes we have one oicer and three cadets, so the cadets can take lower level
calls while the oicer can focus on higher priority calls,” said March, who is also a
Central Oregon Community College Campus
Safety Oicer.
CCadets improve Campus Safety response time

Four years ago, the cadet program was
started by former Cadet Coordinator, Christina
Blake, with one goal in mind: Giving criminal
justice majors hands on experience in the ield. “The program helps get students involved in
the department and college,” March said. “It re-
ally gets them thinking about criminal justice.” According to March, the program helps
students apply what they learn in class to real
world experiences as well as know what law
enforcement training will be like.Cadets typically are recruited from the
COCC criminal justice program and from re-
cruiting events such as club information fairs
on campus.Once they have found potential cadets, they
go through an application process and back-
ground check like any other job. After the back-
ground check is cleared, they meet with March
for a face-to-face interview to determine if they
are right for the program.Once chosen, cadets must go through eighty
hours of basic training academy where March,
along with other oficers, do veracious presen-
tations. The presentations give cadets the basic knowledge and understanding of the Public
Safety profession. They receive hands on train-
ing after they have successfully learned and re-
tained the information and material. Academy days are held on Fridays where cadets are re-
quired to put in six hours per Friday for the irst three weeks.
Following those three weeks, Cadets are en-
couraged to put in two hours extra a week for
a ride along. Once they have completed acad-
emy training, they must ind six hours a week to come in and work. This can be broken up throughout the week but they must have a mini-
mal time of two hours a day or do the full six
hours in one day.After training, cadets are able to assist with
tasks such as parking monitoring, which has
helped the department reduce response times to
more urgent calls, according to March.
Currently, four students are employed as ca-
dets with the department and often times cadets
are able to move up into oficer positions, ac-
cording to March. In total, four former cadets have been hired for regular wage jobs and two
promoted to full time with the Campus Safety
department. In addition to the possibility of future job opportunities, cadets receive experi-
ence toward their CJ 280 class and are able to
get professional references. Cadets also have the opportunity to have their DPSST Unarmed
Security Certiicate paid for which allows them to be licensed as a security professional.
Don Doughty, COCC’s Crime Prevention
Oficer, is one of the many oficers who guides cadets.
“We have future plans to kick off the program
on all four campuses,” Doughty said. “Hopeful-ly, with more openings in the program,we grow
enough to have cadets help recruit students.”

“The program helps get students involved in
the department and college. It really gets them

THANKS TO OUR DISTRIBUTERS
how to guide for everything.
Brayan’s
Brayan GonzalezThe Broadside
Leaving home for the irst time can be one of the most terrifying and excit-
ing experiences.
We get to inally be independant and make our own decisions and more often than not, our own mis-
takes.We get to reinvent ourselves and start with a clean slate as if some-
one hit the reset button and suddenly
everything you did growing up and in high school doesn’t matter anymore.
However, is the midst of all this change and all this opportunities, as
still growing young adults we need to remember the person inside is what makes the world a difference.
For this issue of the Students Guide
for Everything, I will give you some tips on how to balance your new self while still keeping what makes you, you.
#1: Don’t be afraid to be sentimen-
tal: When September comes around
and you’re packing to leave for school, don’t be afraid to take with you the blanket, or teddy bear, or action ig-
ure or race car you had growing up. Take it as a memento to remind you of where you come from and where your roots are.
#2: It’s okay, take some time: When you’re inally out on your own, and you ind yourself feeling lost; take some time. Everyone knows moving and being on your own for the irst time is an adjustment. Take some time to get to a place where your comfort-able and okay with the situation and then go out and explore your new sur-rounding.
#3: No may be the way to go: We’ve all been there, we make new friends in a new area and then sud-
denly we ind ourselves going along with whatever they want just because we want to it it. Its okay to say no, and its okay to stop and not be part of the crowd.
#4: Be spontaneous: if you ind yourself with nothing to do, and you’re already at a place where you’re okay with being on your own. Be spontane-
ous and do something fun, its a great
way to loosen up and start to enjoy what it means to be growing up.
#5: Stay Connected: In today’s
world we have Skype, Facebook, Facetime and many other forms of
social media at our disposal. Don’t be
afraid to use them and stay connected
with family and friends. Nobody is go-
ing to judge you for calling your mom
for the simple reason that you wanted to talk to her.
Until next time, Just remember to
keep it safe, keep it fun and keep it classy, but above all remember to al-
ways Treat Yo Self!
Now, for the eighth entry in the se-
ries of Guy-code and Girl-code, The
guide to Today’s Young People:
#8: If you catch your girlfriend lirt-ing with another dude on purpose and in full awareness of you , you are permitted to go over to her mother’s
house 3 times a week and aimlessly lirt with her mother or her sisters until your girlfriend gets the point that is not
okay. #GUYCODE
#8: Look out for her before she makes a fool of herself in front of the entire world. This means telling her if she has lipstick on her teeth or food stuck in between them, hair looking like Simba from Lion King, skin ap-
pears dry, t-zone getting too oily, or
she has toilet paper stuck to her back side. #GIRLCODE
Now fellow Bobcats, if you have any suggestions for the next issue of
Students How to guide for everything, Or if you have any tips please send
me an email, until next time keep it classy.

The Bobcats season ends with a 5-8 loss.
On Saturday, April 18th, the Central Oregon
Community College Rugby team played their
last game of the season against the University
of Puget Sound. The game comes after the
team hosted the West Coast Regional Champi-
onship where the team failed to place among
the top team after being undefeated for most
of the season. The game played against UPS
was a championship game for the Northwest
Cup.
“Whoever wins today, has to travel next
week to Spokane Washington for the cham-
pionship,” explained Coach Woody Bennett.
If the Bobcats had won the match against
UPS they would had traveled to play for the
cup, sadly, this was not case and playing at the
Mazama field proved to not add home advan-
tage to the team.
However, COCC rugby has only been in
place for 3 years and in that short time they
have come so far according to Coach Bennett.
“We hosted the west coast regionals a couple
weeks back, three California teams came here.
And today, we’re playing for the Northwest cup,
It amazing. What can you say except to look and
praise how how hard they’ve [the team] worked.
I’m extremely proud of them.” said Bennett
Coach Bennett praises his team in since they
have proven themselves time and time again and
have complied with every requirement asked of
them.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of these guys,
they’ve done everything the coaching staff has
asked of them,” Bennett said. “They get better ev-
ery week. This is our third year with the program
and look how far we’ve come, we can only go up
from here.”
Sadly, as the game wore on the Bobcats lost
their lead after UPS scored bringing their season
to end on a 5-8 loss against UPS. Though the
Bobcats did not manage to get the cup, hopefully
we’ll see them again next season ready to prove
what COCC and the community of Bend is made
off.

After dramatic season, rugby
team looks to the future

Whenever parkour would pass through my mind,
I would imagine people leaping from roof to roof top
doing crazy lips and jumping over things twice their height. I began to fancy myself as spiderman – spider-
woman, saving Bendites from danger in my spidey
suit.
I through on some exercise clothes and headed
out the door to this mysterious arena of parkourness
known as Smith Martial Arts. I expected to walk
through the door to ind myself in the company of super it parkour people ready to jump off something into a lip at any given moment. Being of small stature with very little arm strength, I’ll confess; I was intimi-
dated. Well, I’m already here, I thought, might as well
go in there and give it my best shot.
Welp. Here goes nothing!
There I stood, with the rest of the class of about 6
or 7, all different ages, shapes, sizes and skill levels.
The atmosphere had a light-hearted, humorous feel
to it. No judgment, just a gathering of people there
to learn or practice the sport of parkour. The instruc-
tors were friendly and humble. They assured us that
making mistakes or falling down is okay. One of them
even admitted to breaking quite a few toes, numerous
times… ouch! As they began to recall stories of the
falls they endured and the bones they had broken, I
cringed. They had endured pain I could not even fath-
om, yet there they stood, continuing to practice and
teach parkour…
They taught us how to jump further, land smoother and keep our balance. Easy enough, right?
Not for everyone. As most people know, what
comes easy to one person may not be a walk in the
park for the next.
I left Smith Martial Arts with a fresh perspective of
the outside world and myself, my capabilities. I had
faced yet another fear! Not even 3 days of sore mus-
cles from the fun, but vigorous exercise of parkour
could deter me from practicing this again; I wouldn’t
have traded my experience for the world.
