       > Carll got the student some food from her dorm room and later
       volunteered at Stony Brook's new food pantry — one of dozens
       cropping up at colleges across the country in recent years as
       educators acknowledge the struggles many students face as the
       cost of getting a higher education continues to soar.
       >
       > Some students have opted to hand back some of the items in the
       bag, telling volunteers they only need a can of soup or other
       item to get them through the night.
       >
       > Support from the college community has been overwhelming; a
       food drive organized by student varsity athletes brought in more
       than 100 pounds of food last semester. The pantry has actually
       had to turn away some donations.

       Sad statement of our times but glad to see fellow students
       stepping up!
