       [quote]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.[/quote]

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