Alexie Poe and Alyson McGinnis make their way through the old campus bookstore before the eventual makeover that will take place over the summer.

Barnes and Noble has taken a page
from Sodexo and set up shop at SFCC.
In September, CCS began talks
with Barnes and Noble in the hopes
of finding better textbook deals for
students. On Dec. 15, the management
service contract was signed and Barnes
and Noble took over.
Lisa Hjaltalin is the Chief Financial
Officers for CCS and the one who has
been working on the contract with
Barnes and Noble.
Its really difficult for a single
bookstore to be able to compete with
the bigger sellers like Barnes and Noble
or even amazon, Hjaltalin said. And
we want to be able to give our students
the best possible opportunity to get the
least expensive textbook option they
can find.
The switchover occurred over winter
break and students are already seeing
changes.
We can get books by ourselves,
again, said Krysta Knowlton, an SFCC
student. I hated when they got our
books. All of the signs look like Barnes
and Noble, too. The store looks a lot
more open.
The store will be going through
further renovations this summer.
According to Hjaltalin, Barnes and
Noble will be spending $150 thousand
Noble.
We get 7% of all of the gross sales,
said Hjaltalin. That money goes
back to the colleges and then back to
students.
Barnes and Noble is also giving the
CCS Foundation an annual donation of
$10 thousand.
That money will go to scholarships
for students, Hjaltalin said. That is
usually what they offer to show that
they are good citizens.
There are other things that the
foundation can do that CCS doesnt
have the ability to do, she said.
Thats why the money is going to the
foundation. They have the ability to
help students out with individual things
that they might need, maybe a bus pass
or a payment to a baby sitter or maybe
a rent payment they cant make.
Students can expect to see many
changes over the next few quarters, but
the bookstore will still belong to the
school.
Its still our building and its still
our employees so we maintain local
control at everything that happens at
these locations, Hjaltalin said. Weve
brought in their technology, their
knowledge of the textbook industry
and their management of the textbook
buying process and so thats what
theyre really doing for us.

Art of the
Couch Potato
Caroline Rhoads
The Communicator
Viewers entering the SFCC Art Gallery in Building 6 will be met with the
strong smell of popcorn and a place
to relax from now until Feb. 6.
Couch Potato is a viewer-participant installation featuring video art.
There are three couches and a large
rug piled with pillows for viewers to
spread out and watch a stream of videos that project onto a screen.
The playlist at Couch Potato
changes daily.
Somedays, its geared more towards a particular style or different
artists, SFCC student Susan Morski
said.
Sometimes it is films and others are
interviews with artists. There might
also be videos about different pieces
such as sculptures and performance
pieces that are typically experienced
live.
It gives you exposure to obscurity, Morski said. We live in a sheepish world. As an artist, woman, and
mother, I think the exposure is really
important; there is so much more out
there.
Stephen Seemayer, Creator of
Young Turks, one of the films
presented at the exhibit, visited SFCC
on Jan. 22 to talk about the film and
some of his other works.
Young Turks documents the art
scene in Los
Angeles during
the 1970s and
1980s, when
artists could rent
huge spaces
to create their works for very little
money. According to Seemayer, this
created a very exciting community.
That kind of energy created by a
group of people getting together can
be really good for the community,
Seemayer said during his presentation. Its important to document that
to make sure that it doesnt just fritter
away into outer space, all that experience, all those images, all that music,
Video art differs from regular television programs and movies because it
does not necessarily rely on the same
theatrical conventions.

Lumbersexual is defined by
Urban Dictionary as a metro-sexual
who has the need to hold on to some
outdoor based ruggedness, thus opting
to keep a finely trimmed beard. So, if
metrosexuality defines a man who is
fastidious about grooming and fashion, a lumbersexual is a guy who is lax

Between

Poor white people who think that the
police killing unarmed black men
doesnt affect them personally are in a
for a rude awakening.
When you look at the disenfranchisement of todays poor whites and poor
blacks, the two groups have much
more in common with each other than
they do with their so called peers of
similar skin tone. Especially when it
comes to the criminal justice system.
When looking specifically at race it
would appear that mass incarceration
and police justified homicides are
black problems, and understandably,
some blacks feel this way as well. This
is what they see in their community.
If you look at race alone, blacks are
three times more likely to be killed by
police than whites. On the surface this
appears to be a huge disparity, and it
is, but mostly that disparity lies within
the classes.
Candace McCoy -- a criminologist at
John Jay College of Criminal Justice at
the city university of New York -- told
Punditfact.org, The reason blacks are
more likely to have a violent encounter with police is because they are
convicted of felonies at a higher rate
than whites, however; this has more to
do with class than it does race. Felony rates for poor whites are similar to
those of poor blacks.
According to a Bureau of Justice survey of state prison inmates, more than
half of all prisoners made less than 10
police.
Native Americans lead the pack,
however, making up only .08 percent
of the population while accounting for
1.7 percent of police killings.
The Black Panthers acknowledged the
similarities between poor whites and
poor blacks, and the importance of addressing poverty as a whole when they
argued that no fundamental change
could occur without the help of poor
whites.
Huey P Newton pointed to poor
whites as another group, a larger
group, that were also oppressed by the
white wealth in this country.
King also saw it when he started the
Poor Peoples Campaign shortly before
his death.
There are 45.3 million poor in the
US which means 15 percent of the
country makes less than 11 thousand
dollars a year, and another 25 percent
live paycheck to paycheck, on nothing
more than 20 thousand.
If all of these people were united as
one we could send a deafening roar
throughout congress, and force the
changes we believe need to be made.

Orlandos Resturant
Review
Desirae Knight
The Communicator
Orlandos, a student-run
restaurant inside Building 1 at SCC
opened Wednesday, January 14th for
the first time this quarter.
According to Janet Breedlove,
a Program Coordinator at SCC, said
that Orlandos is a restaurant directed
by Inland Northwest Culinary Academy (INCA) faculty and run by students
within the culinary program at SCC.
Students in the dining room
class serve in the restaurant, Breedlove said, Students in the kitchen
classes prepare the food served in the
restaurant.
Im in my final quarter,
Michael Reed, a student in the Culinary Program and waiter at Orlandos
said. Our class is split in half because
of a new order of rotation that has
just started. Half of us are working as
cooks, and the other half are working
in the dining room.
Orlandos has a modern,
fine-dining quality to it, with ambient
lighting and plush chairs, much like
some of the fine-dining establishments
in downtown.
Some students have experience in the industry already, but most
do not.
Many students enter our program with no previous experience,
Breedlove said. We provide all training during the program.
Ive worked in the restaurant
business for 10 years now, Reed said.
Ive worked in big restaurants where
some nights we had 200 to 300 plates
go out. Working here is a much calmer environment.
Some students were nervous
about working with customers.
This is the first time Ive ever
served in the dining room, Keiko Wilfong, also a SCC student in her final
quarter of the Culinary Program said.
I just got my first job as a line cook in
another establishment, but this is the
first time Ive worked with customers
face-to-face, and I was really nervous.
The program provides students
with necessary training to work in the
industry once they have completed

contains phenylethylamine

hormone that your body releases
during sex.
3.)Honey isnt just sweet tasting
but it can be sweet to your body
as well. It not only supports
testosterone production, it also
has boron which is used in
estrogen production, causing
more female pleasure as well.
4.) Cinnamon helps your body
heat up which can cause your sex
drive to heat up as well.
5.) And heres the big one, oysters!
Because this shellfish is coated
with Zinc, this mineral helps
the testosterone level shoot up
causing a longer, higher sex drive.
