LCC students earn writing awards Jeremy Kohn Co-Editor in Chief
Last year many of LCC’s promising writers entered their works in hopes of winning an award in the annual LAND (Liberal Arts Work for Development) writing contest. After the judges went through the tedious process of deciding winners in each category, it was announced that LCC brought home an amazing five of the nine awards for the district. Winners in the essay category included: Rod Patrick, who won first place for his essay titled, “Girl Scouts or Child Labor Force?” and Kaitlyn Linsey, who won second place for her essay titled, “Fruits, Leaves, Roots: Deconstructing Eden.” LCC also had students who were awarded in the short fiction category. Laura Richards was awarded first place for her story entitled “Mend-
ing Shards,” and second place was awarded to LCC student Faylynn Ames for her story, “Where she belongs.” “I have loved writing since I was really young,” Ames said. “I didn’t talk until I was 6 so writing was the first thing I learned.” Ames’ award-winning story was about a guest who frequented a bar at which she worked, which she considered a “second home.” The poetry category had LCC student Angela Nichols win both first place and second place for her poems, “After the War” and “Linger.” “I took this (creative writing) class to help develop as a writer and help get some feedback on my writing,” Nichols said. “I am really glad I was given this opportunity.” First-place winners received $100 prize and second-place winners received $50 for their entries.

The LCC Board of Trustees conducts business at its Jan. 22 regular meeting.
Board holds busy meeting
Jeremy Kohn Co-Editor in Chief
The monthly board of trustees meeting was held in the Paul D. Cunningham Administration building on Jan. 22. The meeting touched on
several different topics, including progress with Gannon construction, flu shot immunization on campus and discussions on tuition. The meeting was called to order by President Knight. He spoke about
the considerable work completed on the Gannon Building. He said he foresees construction on the Gannon Building to be finished as early as mid-summer. Knight inSee Board, page 2
The Gannon Building renovations are in full swing and are presently in the demolition phase. The remodeling includes the second floor of the south end location, which is in the process of being torn down. The renovations are a part of the Build Forward Capital Project, which has been an ongoing process for the past three years. The Gannon Building is the last to be completed and will wrap up the end of the project. Tim Martz, director of facilities for Lansing Community College, stated that renovations are on schedule and the set date to be completed is May 22 of this year. “This will be a one-stop ap-
proach to the college entrance,” Martz said. “With this approach, hopefully it will attract more students by seeing the Arts and Sciences Building and go over to Gannon to see how easy it is to enroll and see what LCC has to offer.” Martz spoke of an incident that occurred on Tuesday, Jan. 21. There was an accident on site involving two individuals who are contracted by Granger. The only information that was provided is that the ambulance responded to the scene immediately. At the board meeting held on Jan. 21, the incident was brought up, but said it should not be a concern for the general public because it was not serious. For further See Construction, page 2

to be a shining star and you can come back and find the resources in the TRIO program, to give you the courage to do this.” Marl talked about the impact TRIO has had on her. The next board meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 18 in the Paul D. Cunningham Administration Building.
New dean in place Chelsea Allen Staff Writer Dr. Tanya McFadden has been named to replace Dr. Evan Montague and will serve as interim dean of Student Services, according to a Jan. 14 LCC press release. According to Dr. Richard J. Prystowsky, provost and senior vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, Montague served as dean for four years. His resignation was due to his plans to pursue other professional opportunities, Prys-
towsky said in the statement. McFadden will serve as dean of Student Services until a national search produces a replacement, Prystowsky said. McFadden previously served as director of Enrollment and Student Services at Oakland Community College. She continued to earn her doctorate in Community College Leadership from Ferris State University. The dean’s office is located in room 103 of the Health and Human Services Building.

Exploring campus-area dining options Jeremy Kohn Co-Editor in Chief With the construction on the Gannon Building continuing indefinitely until summer, this means the LCC cafeteria facilities will be closed to the public until construction is complete. Fear not, new or returning students of LCC, there are plenty of other eatery options available to satisfy your hunger. Besides the Gannon cafeteria there has always been another option for those wishing to grab a quick bite while on campus. Gibson’s and Gibby’s, both located at 320 N. Capital Ave., is within walking distance from campus and offers a variety of menu options. Gibson’s cafeteria offers items such as specialty sandwiches, wraps and burgers, as well as offering a salad and taco bar. Gibson’s sister store, Gibby’s,
offers gourmet subs on fresh cooked bread, as well as a variety of wraps and homemade slices of pizza. “We have definitely seen a big jump in sales since Gannon has closed,” said Matt Buche, one of the owners of Gibby’s. “Things are going good; lunches are spread out because of a difference in people’s classes so the rise comes at different times.” Students on the move between classes who wish to eat a quick meal may prefer delivery options. Jimmy Johns gourmet subs is located on Washington Square and will deliver subs to “freakishly fast.” Those who crave a delicious pizza pie franchise like Happy’s or Jet’s can also have delivery to the location of choice on campus. Those who decide they need a break from campus all together can visit several restaurants downtown to relax while on lunch break.

Parking meter mayhem ensues Chancelor Miller Freelance Writer For first-semester students, finding places to park may be overwhelming. LCC is working with a fairly new Pay-By-Space system that has had some students quite confused when they arrived on their first day. LCC student Hailey Kingsley said traffic at LCC can be confusing. “I feel like even if I get here early there is so much traffic in the ramps,” said Kingsley. Parking and ID Services em-
ployee Kim Skorna said there are a variety of places for students to park on campus. According to Skorna students can still park in the North Capital Ramp, and Parking Lots U and F with their Star Cards. “The rates for said lots are cheaper than the hourly parking,” Skorna said. “Also don’t forget that meters are free after 6 p.m.” Jacob Hartges, a student employee on campus, seemed all for off-campus parking. “My preference is to park several blocks away.” Hartges
said. “There are no fees and I’ve saved hundreds the last few semesters. The weather may get bad, but it’s worth it to me.” For students who are night owls and prefer taking evening classes, know that Police and Public Safety will provide escorts to walk them safely to their vehicles. Parking doesn’t have to be so hectic. Prices and directions for all student lots and contact information for Parking and ID services are available by going to http://www. lcc.edu/parking/.

LCC offices team up for blood drive Sarah Spohn A&E Editor Imagine being able to save a life. It only takes 15 minutes and requires no super powers. Up to two lives can be saved from a single blood donation. The LCC office of Student Life has paired up with Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), Volunteer Services and the American Red Cross to offer students, staff and faculty the opportunity to become life savers without ever leaving campus. The first blood drive of the semester will be held in the atrium on the second floor of LCC’s West Campus on Friday, Jan. 31 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. According to Jacob Hartges, student volunteer coordinator, this is the first time Student
Life has done a blood drive alongside Volunteer Services and PTK. “This is an initiative that we want to pursue once a semester,” Hartges said. The American Red Cross states basic eligibility requirements to give blood as the following: be healthy (HIV/AIDS free); be at least 17 years of age, or 16 with parental consent; and weigh at least 110 pounds. The last donation will be accepted at 3:45 p.m. Donors can pre-register their desired slot time online with Student Life or stop by anytime during the drive. “The process can take up to an hour, but most people are generally done in 15 to 20 minutes,” said Mark Davis, PTK president and Registered Stu-

dent Organization manager. Interested donors will go through a questionnaire process, and undergo a small finger prick blood test to make
sure blood is usable. Davis and Hartges said they are hoping for the blood drive to be a hit, considering another type of hit the Red Cross blood
supply has suffered due to the severe weather. For those still on edge about donating blood, due to the needle factor — Hartges urged students to add donating blood to their bucket list. “Students should donate because part of it is like a ‘feel good,’” Hartges said. “And I myself, the first time I donated, I was apprehensive about it because I hate needles … it’s really not as bad as you think it’s going to be.” Both Davis and Hartges will be donating their blood and hope to see a healthy supply of donors. So conquer your fear of needles and start saving lives. Those who want to volunteer or wish to donate blood to the drive can visit the website lcc.edu/studentlife for more details.
Jobs available on campus Tyler Donelson Freelance Writer With each new semester comes plenty of new opportunity. If you are currently a registered student here at Lansing Community College and enrolled in classes your new opportunity could be a new job on or off campus. Jobs open up throughout the semester, but at the beginning of each new one with students completing their requirements here or finishing their Associates Degree you’re more likely to find whatyour looking for. LCC’s Career and Employment Services Department offers students great resources.CES can help with tasks such as finding a job, internships, tips about resumes, tips on interviews, career advising and more. According to Holly Rietberg, student employee in the Library, there is a lot of benefits to having a job on campus. “A student employee includes having your school schedule into account when they make your schedule, also since you are a part of the
campus you know more about the services that are available to you.” Another nice thing about working on campus is getting to know people throughout the campus that you might not have met otherwise. Applying for a job through LCC is pretty simple all you need to do is make an account on the CES site and if you need help you can either stop by the CES office, currently located in the Continental Building on the corner of Washington Square and Shiawassee Street, go to LCC’s website and look them up under Resources, or give them a call. “I applied for a job on the CES job posting site, then I got a call back to take up an interview time and went through that whole process” Rietberg said. “The main goal for Career and Employment Services Department office is mostly career advising, but we also help students find employment on and off campus”, says Macauley Horak, student employee in the CES office. For further information about employment opportunities or services offered by CES stop by, or call 517-483-1172.
Phi Theta Kappa sets plans Chelsea Allen Staff Writer Phi Theta Kappa National Honors Society members have many plans for their organization going into the spring semester. On Friday, Jan. 31, the office of Student Life, the Student Volunteer Services and the PTK National Honors Society will join together to help the American Red Cross conduct a blood drive. “We really want to help give back to the community and help another important organization who is in need,” Nowak said. For more information on the blood drive, contact the LCC Office of Student Life: 517-483-1285 or studentlife@lcc.edu. Other than the blood drive, PTK is focusing on being active both regionally and nationally. Mark Davis, president of PTK, said they plan on having active members of the officer core attend the national convention in Orlando on March 22. These members will bring back useful knowledge and ideas as to how to implement their ideas to members of PTK and to students of LCC. Davis said this convention will also help spread the word about the C4 Initiative. The C4 Initiative is an effort for students and faculty to focus on help-
ing them to graduate college in three years or obtain 90 credits to receive an associate’s degree. “Statistics show that more than 75 percent of students who earn their associate’s degree, will continue to get their bachelor’s degree and follow their desired career path,” Davis said. Along with the C4 Initiative, The College Fish scholarship is another opportunity the PTK wants LCC students of which to be aware. Nowak expressed how crucial it is that students know they can access this scholarship now. “We are the second college in Michigan to open it,” Nowak said. The College Fish scholarship was a scholarship that could only be accessed by PTK members, but is now accessible to all LCC students. Students can get more information on this scholarship by contacting Student Life. The PTK National Honors Society is always welcoming new members who have a 3.5 GPA or higher and have 12 college credits per semester. The meetings are available to the public for those who are interested. They are held every Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Arts and Sciences Building in room 105.

LCC freshman Morgan Kelso leaps high to rebound a ball against Grand Rapids Community College Jan. 22 in the Gannon Gym.
The LCC women’s basketball team suffered a 72-59 loss to Grand Rapids Community College on Wednesday, Jan. 22 in the Gannon Gym at LCC. Sophomore guard LaTonya Shade led LCC with an impressive 30 points. She also snatched four rebounds. Sophomore guard Robyn Robinson added 11 points for the Stars. Sophomore Jordan McLeggan had six points and led the Stars with five rebounds. LCC Coach Ervin Brunson said he was disappointed with the outcome of the game. “We didn’t come to play,” Brunson said. “We’ve got to get more rebounds, regroup and start all over.” Shade said that she wasn’t happy with the turnout of this game,
but is looking forward to the next one. “We’re just going to have to spend more time in the gym than the average player and come to practice like we’re coming to play,” Shade said. LCC trailed at the half 33-22. Sophomore center Danielle Harrison scored 23 points to lead the visiting Raiders.
With the Michigan Community College Athletic Association loss to Grand Rapids, the Stars record fell to 3-3. LCC is now 11-7 overall. LCC was scheduled to play at Kellogg Community College on Saturday, Jan. 25. The Stars’ next action will be Wednesday, Jan. 29 at home against Glen Oaks Community College. Action begins at 1 p.m.

Athlete Spotlight: LaTonya Shade The Lookout Sports Writer Jaimie Bozack spoke recently to sophomore women’s basketball player and Grand Ledge graduate LaTonya Shade. Shade has been consistently one of the top scorers for the Stars this season. Q. What inspired you to play basketball? A. My dad. He was always putting a basketball in my hand and telling me to go for it.
Q. What has helped you transform as a player throughout the season? A. Just being in the gym a lot more than the average person and going to every practice ready to play an actual game. Q. Did you have any athletic accomplishments before LCC? A. While going to Grand Ledge High School I was MVP for basketball. That was a ma-
jor accomplishment for me. Q. What’s your favorite thing about what you do? A. I like to shoot. It makes me happy when a shot I want goes into the hoop. Q. What’s the most challenging thing about what you do? A. Defense can always be challenging. You’re faced against some hard people to defense sometimes and it can be intimidating.
Q. What are you studying? A. I’m studying Criminal Justice. I want to eventually work with juveniles. It’s something I’m passionate about. Q. What are your plans after LCC? A. I plan to transfer somewhere, hopefully with another basketball scholarship. This is my last semester playing at LCC, so it’s pretty bittersweet. I hope wherever I transfer to I can be as accomplished.

LCC freshman Tracy Edmond shoots a free throw to extend the lead against Grand Rapids CC.
The LCC men’s basketball team overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat Grand Rapids Community College 88-85 on Wednesday, Jan. 22 in the Gannon Gym at LCC. Sophomore guard Cameron Sanchez led LCC with 35 points and also grabbed eight rebounds. Freshman guard Tracy Edmond added 20 points for the Stars and sophomore guard Jeff Cain chipped in with 11. Freshman forward Nate Lafayette snatched 11 rebounds to pace LCC. Guard Courtney Hill matched Sanchez’s scoring output with 35 points for the Raiders in a losing cause. LCC Coach Mike Ingram said after the game his team’s new strategy was centered on the offense of Sanchez. “We struggled a little the last few games, so we decided to get away from the way we have been playing and center it on one guy (Sanchez) and it worked well for
us,” Ingram said. Sanchez said he was pleased to contribute to the win. “I’m happy that we’ve been playing well lately because we’ve been struggling the last few games,” Sanchez said. LCC trailed 45-35 at halftime. The Stars used strong defense and consistent three-point shooting to overcome the deficit and hold off the Raiders. For the game, the Stars shot 8-for-16 from three-point range. Sanchez was threefor-seven from the threepoint line and freshman Tyler Lewis was two-for-two. With the Michigan Community College Athletic Association win over Grand Rapids, the Stars improved their conference record to 3-3. Overall, LCC’s mark improved to 13-6. LCC was scheduled to play at Kellogg Community College on Saturday, Jan. 25. The Stars’ next action will be Wednesday, Jan. 29 at home against Glen Oaks Community College. Action begins at 7:30 p.m.

Idol winner to perform at Loft Sarah Spohn A&E Editor It’s been five years since the fresh-faced Kris Allen was named the winner of American Idol. He’s been working on a new record, got in a car crash that forever changed his music, and his wife and had a baby boy with his wife. “Last year was an interesting year. I had three surgeries, and was in and out of casts. I broke my wrist pretty severely. It changed the way I play guitar and the way I write songs,” Allen said. Despite the hardship, Allen is determined to produce songs he and his fan base can enjoy. Currently writing and recording his third album, Allen spoke about the new material. “I’ve been writing most songs in Nashville, and at home. So it’s a lot more based around trying to write great, great songs. This is the first time I’ve worked here in Nashville,” Allen said.

through its stages,” Allen said. “I do feel like I learned a lot on the second record.” Now, Allen is more excited than ever for his newest record. “It feels like it’s more true to myself,” the singer said. Although the TV spotlight is off of Allen, he’s still shining on stages in small-town America night after night. “Last year we did a
lot (a lot) of touring. It was a lot of fun. The band is amazing,” Allen said. All those present at the Loft on Feb. 9 are in for a treat. Although Allen is a soft spoken Southern gent, he welcomes crowd participation while on stage. “I really enjoy that as an entertainer. In the past, I have taken requests while on stage,” Allen said.

He laughs about it becoming a ‘can I remember the lyrics?’ contest. Allen has performed alongside some of the biggest names in the biz. “We’ve been able to go out with a couple of amazing artists. It’s hard to beat.” Keith Urban, Maroon 5 … I listened to them in high school; Songs About Jane was one of my favorite records,” Allen said. New tunes are on the way from Kris Allen, who said he hopes to have the music done by the end of January. Changes over the last year brought about new songs, and a way of doing things. “It’s a totally different way of making a record … It’s really inspiring for me. Hope the fans will enjoy it, too,” Allen said.

Our favorite Golden Girl She’s a newfound Guinness Book of World Records holder and just turned 92. She’s adorable. She’s Betty White. Recently winning the record for longest TV career for a female entertainer. White is also the oldest person to host Saturday Night Live. She’s been around for a whopping 75 years in the industry, 66 of those years on television. Gracing both the small screens on television shows, as well as the silver screen, she continues to prove her worth in the world of Hollywood. Who can forget her as the level-headed pushover Rose Nylund on Golden Girls during the ‘80s? Or even as the competitive, yet cute dimpled Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. White has had memorable roles making her one of America’s sweethearts, certainly the oldest and arguably one of the sweetest. But she’s not all candystriper, she’s hilarious dropping f-bombs and making jokes of
her costar’s whore-ish ways on her newest show, TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland. If you haven’t seen it, I urge you to take a look. Tons of cameos from lovable past television stars pop up, and the storylines are laugh out loud week after week. It airs on Wednesday at 10 p.m. on TV Land. White only gets better with age -- she’s still snarky, quickwitted, and with a raise of her eyebrow, or that adorably dimpled smile of hers, she wins you over. More recent gigs included the role of Gammy in The Proposal alongside Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. Her comedic timing is rivaled by ac-
tors trying to break into the business, some of them 70 years younger than her. But it’s not just her funny side that makes myself and the rest of America love her. She’s a savvy businesswoman, and a notable animal advocate. Working alongside the Morris Animal Foundation, White has helped fund health studies for dogs, cats, and wildlife since the ‘70s but always shown a love for animals. She’s even a calendar girl, releasing a calendar in 2011 with a portion of the proceeds going to the foundation. Apparel also went on stores shelves, benefitting the animal foundation. I even own a Betty White t-shirt. I’m proud to show support for my favorite Golden Girl out there still doin’ her thing on both the red carpet and for mankind. Betty White, you only get better with time. You’re an inspiration to many, including myself. I hope I look as happy as you do when I’m 92. You’re still just as golden as ever.

‘Her’ takes a brand new look on love Jaimie Bozack Co-Editor in Chief While watching the trailer for the movie “Her,” the only thing that seemed interesting at the time was Joaquin Phoenix›s mustache. The movie trailer made the movie seem to be about a man who falls in love with his operating system, a concept I felt
was weird. After seeing the movie it was exactly about that topic, but it was also about much more. It tapped into the emotions of everyone in the movie theater. I cried, I laughed, I related, and I felt the need to fall in love with a computer-operating system of my own. The movie, from beginning to end, was amazing. It followed Theo (played by Joaquin Phoenix) through his life after
King Crossword
a divorce. He went from finding the woman of his dreams to finding a new love through his computer-operating system. “Her” is a legitimate love story about a man who seems at times more of a machine than the operating system with which he fell in love. The operating system, named “Samantha,” brings Theo out of his comfort zone by forcing him to go out into the world and get over his last
relationship. The voice of the operating system (played by Scarlett Johansson) talked and acted as a real person. Throughout the movie it was easy to become connected to her and relate to her. She was clever, witty and smart. She had all the emotions and thoughts of a real person. At the end the people in the movie theater clenched tissue boxes tightly and left holding
their loved ones even closer. As weird as a concept as “Her” may seem to some people, it’s a beautiful movie that brings a new look on love. It showed love beyond the physical attraction that so many relationships are based from today. Theo fell in love with her personality and how she looked at the world. “Her” is a very well made movie, and I think it’s one of the best of the year.
Gambino’s album is ‘childish’ Jeremy Kohn Co-Editor in Chief Many people associate the name Donald Glover from the hit show from the hit NBC show community. Few people realize that in addition to Glover playing the former high school quarterback Troy Barnes, Donald also has a blossoming hip hop career, under the rap guise Childish Gambino. He has two albums under his belt, the first was released in 2011 and his current album which is entitled “Because the Internet.” Gambino’s music can be categorized as avantegarde hip hop; apart of the electronic renaissance that has emerged in hip- hop in the past years. His new album production-wise can be compared to such artists as Kanye West, Shabazz Palaces, Odd Future, and Death Grips. “Because the Internet” is a concept album which follows a 72-page script that Gambino wrote to accompany the album. Gambino plays a character simply known as “The Boy” who finds himself in an array of misadventures Including being the child of recording artist Rick Ross, having his a close friend shot, and becoming a drug dealer. Although Gambino has shown much improvement in his delivery from previous albums, his lyrics and song concepts seem sporadic and impulsive. That is not to say the album is not without its merits the opening track” I crawl” is a pulsating introduction to the album. Another track I enjoyed is “Zealots of Stockholm” where Gambino starts off with Frank Ocean like ballad and shortly after the

Gambino’s second album was released on Dec. 6, 2013.
song transforms into a haunting dark-synthesized beat, in which the MC raps about such controversial topics as drugs, gun control and same-sex marriage. It seems that Glover maybe in limbo on if he wants the “Gambino” character to become a serious rapper or another comedic outlet. Gambino clearly is talented, he shows that he can rap and sing well. He just needs to now find a focused voice to better display this talent. “Because the Internet” suffers from the same sickness as a lot of hip hop albums do, that is amazing production can create blinders for the listener and hide the fact that the lyrics on the album are mediocre or uninspired.
Recoup with a lunch from Zoup! Sarah Spohn A&E Editor
This week’s puzzle is sponsored by:
Anyone else feel the winter blues thanks to these arctic cold temperatures? You know what I’m talking about — Lansing’s temperatures being colder than Alaska … that’s right — Alaska. Considering on campus lunch options are a no-go, you may be forced to bundle up parka style and trek on down to Washington Square. Nothing warms the heart and your frostbite face more than hot soup. Zoup! is here to help, even after global warming has ultimately failed us. I walked into Zoup! on a Thursday afternoon right during the peak of the lunch hour, at 12:30 p.m. I ordered a kidz meal (yes with a z, for zoup, ain’t that clever) that included a grilled cheese,
soup of my choice, goldfish crackers and a juice box. There are 12 rotating soups daily, including low-fat, vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options for all kinds of taste buds. Featured flavors of the day include chicken potpie soup, cheeseburger royale, chicken fajita, crab bisque, potato cheddar, rustic vegetable bean, roadhouse sirloin chili, and the list goes on. Although I did decide to take my lunch at literally the exact same time the rest of the downtown 9-5ers did, I didn’t spend all of my lunch hour waiting for my meal. No more than two minutes after sitting down in my mini booth was my order ready. My only complaint for in-house dining would be that there aren’t very many booths, and the place fills up fast. The eatery also offers sandwichz and greenz, chips and cookies. Treats are available next
to the checkout for all you impulse sweet tooth shoppers. I’ve frequented Zoup! many a time over this last fall and winter enough to say that they’re better than Jimmy John’s. Not like I want to bash the freakishly fast sub company, but lately they’ve gotten my order freakishly wrong. Both eateries feature the whole assembly line style of making orders, with all hands on deck, but Zoup! fares scores better. And Zoup! workers seem genuinely happy to serve customers. And while lunchtime is busy, there’s no ungodly sound of a blender making both smoothies, and small children crying while trying to relax and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Zoup! is located at 214 S. Washington Square in downtown Lansing. It is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The restaurant is closed on Sundays.

— The Kohn Effect —
NSA: More harm than help The NSA was created as an outlet to collect data for counter intelligence and foreign intelligence purposes. NSA might as well stand for the National Spying Agency instead of the National Security Agency, as the agency has conducted itself in a questionable manner in recent years. The unethical practices that the organization kept secret were brought to light last year by a former NSA employee named Edward Snowden. Snowden leaked information about a top secret surveillance program known as PRISM, which has been active in the United States since 2011. The leaked information provided evidence that the NSA has been spying on its own citizens and has collected thousands upon thousands of data without permission. Companies that have been linked to the PRISM program have been identified as
such internet powerhouses such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Skype. In addition to keeping tabs of online activities, the NSA has also been keeping records linked to your cellphone. The eavesdropping of the agency doesn’t stop there, though. Just this week it has been announced by several news outlets that the NSA has access to a machine that can keep track of US citizen’s offline computer activities as well. Does anyone remember that document the Forefathers of our coun-
try signed? What was the name of that piece of paper? I think it was signed in 1776? Oh yeah, The Constitution. Well, for those people who remember their history lessons well, the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution prohibits unlawful search and seizures. Now I don’t know about you, but spying and collecting millions of data without permission seems pretty unlawful to me wouldn’t you say? President Obama has announced he would like a restructuring of the NSA to tone down their activities. Personally I can’t say I buy the sincerity that the President has been displaying on this issue as of late. I believe that the only reason he has “flipped the script” on this issue is because Edward Snowden revealed what was truly going on behind closed doors of the agency. Obama has been a
supporter of several unlawful acts against US citizens including wiretapping phones, signing the NDAA act and allowing drone attacks on US citizens. My question to the President is if the NSA’s activities are being looked at as harmful all of a sudden, then why has Edward Snowden been looked upon as a traitor by Obama and Congress? America; “The Land of the Free,” has become more like the “Land of Control and Paranoia.” The United States used to be a country that was held in high regard, but other countries are starting to see the questionable practices the United States have used to “keep our country safe.” Something needs to give soon, America is starting to move away from the foundation our forefathers built this nation upon, and more to a police state that resembles Orwell’s 1984.
Letter to the Editor Even healthy young adults need vaccines Think you outgrew the need for vaccines when you graduated from high school? Not so. Every year, thousand of adults in the United States suffer serious health problems, are hospitalized, or even die from disease that could have been prevented by vaccinations. The number of flu cases often peaks in January or February. This year there have been more people out sick with the flu in the last few weeks. The flu is a serious infection because in the U.S. there are about 200,000 cases per year resulting in some 23,000 deaths. Epidemiology data show that only about 9 percent of our 18 to 24-year-old population gets vaccinated and are protected. This is far below what is needed to prevent the spread of this serious infection. Vaccination is the first and most effective step to protect yourself, family and friends against the flu. There are many convenient places to get your flu vaccine. Clinics, pharmacies, and many retail stores offer free or inexpensive vaccinations. If you have not gotten a flu vaccination, please get one now. It is not too late.

Gannon renovation project brings excitement to LCC Walking into the Gannon Building to see a giant white wall has got me way more excited than I should be. I know that soon that white wall and constant pounding of construction in my head will turn into a high-tech, remodeled building. As the construction goes on I’ve heard many rumors about what type of things will actually be in the Gannon Building. I’ve heard of a place with mini Taco Bells, a stage for people to perform on, and other cool sounding things. Based on the building plans I have heard and seen it sounds like it’s going to be the place I’ll spend most of time while
in college. The Gannon construction is big because it’s just adding another newly remodeled building to the resume of awesome remodeled buildings at LCC. The construction project is highly anticipated around LCC and even surrounding areas. There is even a billboard promoting it downtown.
I think that to bring in the real popularity, the Gannon Building should bring in certain things. I’d like to see a mini Walmart, or maybe a dance floor that I can bust some moves on. Those two things probably won’t happen, but whatever does happen will be super exciting. The Gannon Building is supposed to bring in four food vendors, a coffee shop, a new student commons area and several learning stations. I’m very stoked for the new Gannon construction to be done. No matter what it holds I know that the project, part of a $67-million remodeling budget, will be worthwhile.

Gannon renovations brings change to LCC As the renovations continues with the Gannon building, there have been many changes to the look of campus. The once barren Continental building is now the location for the offices of Career and Employment services, Student Life, Office of Disability Support services as well as Veteran’s Services. Possibly the biggest change is that the TLC building has replaced the Gannon Building as the central hub of activities of

The spacious setting of the Gannon Building has been replaced with rooms that are nooks and crannies.

TLC becomes a tight squeeze LCC Academic Advising employee Mike Haston said, “(The new office) is tight quarters. It’s a little confusing, but we’re making the best out of the situation.”
StarLab employee Danielle Gyger said, “It can be crowded at times, but deadlines will pass, and it won’t be as busy.”
