Best and worst study spots on campus BY: MORGAN ANNABLE To Determine the Best study spot on campus, this article will be ranking them on five attributes out of 10. Potential study spots will be ranked on their atmosphere, practicality, comfort, availability of food, and noise. Zoe’s Bagels Atmosphere: 5/10 Zoe’s is warm and welcoming. It’s always been a hub of campus activity and is beloved by many students, but it’s usually a place that’s more suited to meeting up with friends for coffee than it is for hitting the books. Practicality: 6/10 If not for the crowds that swarm to Zoe’s in search of food or a comfortable place to study safe from the glares that accompany any noise made in other parts of the library, it would be a prime place to study, however it often gets crowded and the urge to people watch can be a distraction from studying. Comfort: 8/10 Filled with plush chairs, numerous tables, even comfy chairs with built in desks, Zoe’s takes the cake in the comfort category. The only problem is that often you find that the chair you’d love to sit in is already occupied, and non-consensual lap sitting is frowned upon by most people. Food Availability: 10/10 Possibly the best part of Zoe’s is the dedicated and lovely staff of student employees ready to take your order for fresh food and beverages. Featuring Bagelry bagels, the food at Zoe’s is unofficially the best on campus. Noise: 1/10 Unfortunately due to the popularity of aforementioned deli-
cious bagels, Zoe’s can get crowded, and thus, noisy, especially at prime mealtimes. (Which in college is always.) Overall Score: 31/50
the die-hard HPR occupants will ensure that it becomes silent very, very quickly. Overall Score: 38/50
The Harry Potter Room Atmosphere: 7/10 The Harry Potter Room, which is formally called the Wilson Library Reading room, is stunning. The Harry Potter Room was part of the original Wilson Library built in the 1920s, and is full of beautiful art deco design and pure aesthetic beauty before the era of minimalism and brutalist architecture. What’s not so great about it, is that the people that study there are fiercely dedicated to both their educations and their absolutely silent study environment, so it can be intimidating if you’re clumsy, eating a bagel or have a cold. Practicality: 10/10 This room is perfect for studying. It’s easy to access, open a good portion of the time, it has plenty of chairs and tables for studying. The Harry Potter Room is also close to Red Square, making it easy to get to after having classes in North Campus. Comfort: 3/10 Although it may be a very studious atmosphere, the pre-rolling chair era vibes are less comfortable than other spots on campus. Hours spent in the small wooden chairs may not be the most comfortable ones of your life, even though they might help you pass that final exam. Food Availability: 8/10 The Harry Potter room is just a short walk away from Zoe’s and many of the other food vendors on north campus, such as vendor’s row, the Viking Commons and VU. Noise: 10/10 The Harry Potter Room is always dead silent, and if it’s not,
Carver Academic Facility Atmosphere: 1/10 Overall, it’s a little intimidating when a bunch of construction workers approach to tell you that “you can’t be in here” and “you’re trespassing” or “we’re going to call campus police” when the most important thing is to pass a number of very difficult tests on underwater basket weaving and ancient laundry techniques. Practicality: 1/10 The 6-foot tall fence, while it doesn’t look very high, is actually quite hard to climb. There are no power outlets or anywhere to sit, and in some areas there’s no roof. It’s probably more practical to study in a building that’s not under construction. Comfort: 1/10 There are no chairs, or tables, or walls, floors…. It’s cold, wet and dusty in there, so it’s not the most comfortable place to study. The construction equipment isn’t very comfortable either, especially when there’s lots of people pleading with you to stop sitting on their backhoes because they need to get on with their jobs. Food Availability: 1/10 Sadly, the school has taken away the lovely vending machines that were there in the past. Noise: 1/10 Construction isn’t the most motivating study soundtrack, and it’s not soothing to stressed nerves either. Overall Score: 5/50

Photography has been a part of his life ever to create this authentic or real moment or experience, to somehow uncover something that is honest about people, and I don’t know if visual language can actually do that… we like to look into photos and see heroic images of everybody from movie stars to politicians to random people on the street and think that we are privy to something that is true about them, that is either conscious or unconscious, that they are showing us through the camera… [the] process of creating power or weakness in an image can be as simple as a few degrees to the left or right with the camera or lighting.” Maldonado said that he has recently been influenced by the writings of American minimalist sculptor Donald Judd and French post-structuralist Jean Baudrillard to J.L Gazabat, VU gallery director, and Quinton create “small work that takes up a lot of space.” He wants Maldonado set up Maldonado’s work in the VU this work to focus viewer’s attention on the physicality of Gallery.

since, and he recently returned from a highly competitive four-week residency at Centrum, in Port Townsend WA, at which he described himself getting into a highly caffeinated, factory-style mode of artistic production. VU Gallery Director JL Gazabat describes Maldonado as a very thoughtful and calculating artist. “Quinton is a great friend,” Gazabat said. “One of my favorite people to work with. It’s very hard within the art world, often times to get people to do what they say they’re going to do, but Quinton always delivers.” Gazabat added that Maldonado “loves it when people call him Jon Snow, because he looks a lot like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones.” The work in Augmented Moments, Gazabat said, focuses on youth culture and anonymity within specific images. “He’s blanking the faces of people who are in the photographs with minimalist designs so that others can insert themselves into these instances,” Gazabat said. The Polaroids in Augmented Moments are juxtaposed like sections of an incomplete jigsaw puzzle, the faces interrupted by lines and bars and arrows that suggest relationships and identities, while remaining ambiguous enough for viewers to let their attention wander and create their own interpretations. Maldonado said he has been interested in finding a way of using the space of the gallery, and the arrangement of work in the gallery, to guide viewers into the work, and then leave them space to create their own maps for moving through the work. The closing reception for Augmented Moments is Thursday, Dec 3, from 6-8 p.m.
Ethically-sourced coffee on campus
BY: SARAH SHARP As finals approach, sleep deprived students frequent the closest coffee shops to maintain a steady pulse of caffeine. Two coffee retailers, Starbucks and Tony’s, serve students in seven different locations on campus. And both claim to align with Fair Trade standards. Where does our coffee come from, and is it ethically sourced? We’ve traced the path from bean to cup for these two coffee retailers.
STARBUCKS Starbucks coffee is served in the Viking Union and the Atrium. But most of its arabica beans originate from various countries, mostly in Latin America. In 2004, Starbucks introduced Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) practices. C.A.F.E. practices rate farms on four guidelines: quality, economic accountability and transparency, social responsibility and environmental leadership. Under this set of objectives, workers must receive a minimum wage, and children cannot be used in forced labor, according to Starbucks’ 2014 Global Report. In 2008, the coffee empire set a goal to ethically source 100 percent of their coffee products by 2015, meaning the farms they purchase from must meet C.A.F.E. practices, Fair Trade standards or have been externally audited by another source. The report
doesn’t specify an external auditing system that could be used. The 2015 Global Report has yet to be published, stating whether or not the company achieved their 2008 goals. However, in 2014, 95.5 percent of Starbucks coffee met C.A.F.E. practices, 8.6 percent met Fair Trade standards and one percent were certified organic. C.A.F.E. practices are vague at best. If a farm is not up to par, Starbucks will simply advise them on how to improve, while continuing to buy from them. The audits don’t make or break the deal, according to a 2014 article by NPR. TONY’S Tony’s coffee is served in Miller Market, Rock’s Edge Cafe, Underground Coffeehouse, the Haven Market and at all dining hall locations. Tony’s partners with a group of three farms in Colombia, called Cafe Granja La Esperanza to craft their signature blends. Contrary to Starbucks, all of Tony’s coffee products are certified as Fair Trade and USDA Organic. The beans are locally roasted in Bellingham, too.

Democratic and transparent organizations: Fair Trade farmers and workers decide democratically how to invest Fair Trade premiums, which are funds for community development. Community development: Fair Trade farmers and farm workers invest Fair Trade premiums in social and business development projects like scholarships, schools, quality improvement and leadership training, and organic certification. Environmental sustainability: Harmful agrochemicals and GMOs are strictly prohibited in favor of environmentally sustainable farming methods that protect farmers’ health and preserve valuable ecosystems for future generations.

Holidays from around the world BY: MORGAN ANNABLE Pancha Ganapati On each of the five days of Pancha Ganapati, Hindu children offer trays of fruit, sweets, and incense to a statue of Lord Panchamukha Ganapati, a form of the elephant-headed Ganesha. On day one, Hindus focus on love and harmony between family members. Together, they decorate the shrine to Ganesha and praise each other’s best attributes. Day two is a time to connect or reconnect with extended family, neighbors, and close friends by exchanging gifts and asking forgiveness for any wrongs they have done to each other. On the third day of celebrations, Hindus aim to connect with acquaintances. It is a day to settle disputes and offer gifts to coworkers. Day four is a time to find joy in the arts. Family and friends unite to share their creative talents and plan to bring more art into their lives and homes. On the final day of Pancha Ganapati, Ganesha’s presence fills the home as everyone opens gifts. Soyal The Hopi calendar features 12 months which are then broken into two categories: the katsina season and the non-katsina season. Katsinas, or kachinas, are the spirits that guard over the Hopi and bring rain, crops, and healing for the sick. At Soyal, the winter solstice, the katsinas come down to live among the Hopi until summer solstice, at which time they return to their world in the mountains. Sixteen days prior to the winter solstice, one of the chief katsinas with the appearance of a weary old man
enters the Pueblo. He makes his way to the dance plaza where he dances and sings with everyone reverently watching his every move. During the nine days of Soyal, the Hopi perform sacred rituals including prayers to help turn the sun toward its summer home. The Hopi believe that everything that will occur in the following year is arranged during Soyal. Las Posadas The word “posada” means “inn” in Spanish, or “shelter.” This holiday is a reenactment of Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter in Bethlehem. The procession begins with singing of Christmas carols, often with people dressed as Mary and Joseph—or carrying images of them—leading the way. They stop at a designated home, where the residents and the people requesting lodging there sing La Cancion Para Pedir Posada, alternating verses. Those within the house explain, via song, that their home is not an inn and the procession responds by singing, “No seas inhumano, tenos caridad, que el Dios de los cielos, te lo premiará,” or, “Do not be inhuman, show some charity, God in heaven will reward you.” Eventually the residents of the house sing “¿Eres tu José? ¿Tu esposa es María? Entren, peregrinos, no los conocía.” or, “Is that you Joseph? Your wife is Mary?Enter pilgrims, I didn’t recognize you.” Then the door opens and everyone sings a final verse together, acknowledging the joy brought by the birth of Jesus Christ. Sinterklaasfeest In mid-November, Sinterklaas makes a grand en-
trance in the Netherlands on a steamboat from Spain accompanied by his Zwarte Piet helpers who throw small gingerbread cookies to the cheering crowd. The event is broadcast on national television in the Netherlands and Belgium. Between his arrival and Saint Nicholas’ Eve on December 5, Sinterklaas rides his horse on the roofs of the town at night, leaving presents in the shoes of obedient children. During the night of December 5, also known as pakjesavond (“packages evening”), presents arrive at homes. On the morning of December 6 the children open their gifts, which are accompanied by a personalized poem teasing the recipient for a well-known bad habit of theirs. Bodhi Day On December 8, 2015 Western students will take finals and dream of Winter Break. On December 8, 596 BC Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha. In celebration of the anniversary of enlightenment, some Buddhists decorate their homes with strings of multicolored lights which symbolize the variety of pathways to enlightenment. Others decorate ficus trees with colored lights and chains of beads to symbolize unity. Other traditions include meditating, studying the Dharma, reciting Buddhist texts, and performing random acts of kindness toward others.
