Beware of "Toner Phoners"

There are several unscrupulous businesses out there who attempt to sell you outrageously priced toner over the phone. They may start by asking you what is the model or ID# of the copier or printer near your desk. They may say they have extra stock of the toner you need or the price is set to increase soon. They may offer to ship you a toner on trial. Regardless of what they say, don't give them any information. All you need to know is that toner is included in the maintenance agreement for the machines on campus, and you get toner for your copier or printer by calling the Copy Center at extension 1054. You will never need to purchase toner for machines in your area. A quick way to ditch these "toner phoners" is to tell them you will transfer them to the person in the organization who purchases toner - they will hang up before you can transfer them!

Food Day, Christensen lobby, 10-1:30 Today

Hunger doesn't discriminate. In 2014, 1/10 Americans seeking emergency food assistance were students.

In honor of Food Day (Oct. 24), Campus Cupboard and Campus Kitchen students will be handing out free "brain food" for students in the Christensen lobby from 10-1:30! Stop by for a snack made with food available at the Campus Cupboard!

Food Day is a national celebration of real, just food, with a focus this year on moving "toward a greener diet." The Campus Cupboard helps stem food waste by being conscious of "use by" dates on food that do not actually reflect food safety but drive people throw away food. By taking food that is still good but just past the date on the package, we help make good food available to students while doing our part to reduce the 40% of all food that is wasted in the U.S each year.

Living Community

My roommates and I are looking for another person to join our living community. We are all working adults and we want someone with a job who is responsible and able to pay rent on time every month. If you are a student it is very affordable (probably about $365 a month depending on utilities). We prefer a single woman but are open to other options including a married couple or single man. There are seven bedrooms total in the house and three bathrooms. Email me if you are interested and I will be happy to give you more details.
walkerdd@augsburg.edu

Thanks
