Lansing Community College is tentatively set to change its strategic plan by fall 2012 because of a change in the criteria for accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Jim Luke, a full-time faculty member and Strategic Challenges Project Leader at LCC, said the HLC is placing a much greater emphasis on the process by which an institution

creates a plan. He said emphasis is also geared toward the needs of the institution that created it. “These are really, really different times,” Luke said. “A lot of schools won’t exist five years from now. It’s our job to make sure that doesn’t happen to LCC.” So the question becomes: What changes does LCC need to make to better serve a changing community? “That’s where things get interesting,” Luke said. “Everyone thinks

they know the answer to that question.” Things have been interesting, to say the least. Over the past several months, there has been a great deal of criticism about the way the LCC administration has spent the college’s money. Faculty and staff picketed outside LCC’s Administration Building Nov. 21 to criticize the recent program cuts by the college over the past several months.

Nathan Wilson Associate Editor LCC’s American Marketing Association (AMA) is jump-starting spring semester with the Gift of Life campus challenge from Jan. 12 to Feb. 23. The challenge is part of the year-long organ donation campaign known as AMA Saves Lives. Faith Hancock, fundraiser chair for AMA, explained while both
competitions overlap, AMA Saves Lives is designed to spread awareness about organ donation. “The Gift of Life goal really is to get people registered (as donors),” Hancock said. “For AMA Saves Lives, we’re trying to educate and spread awareness.” She added she wants LCC to be recognized as the state winner for recruiting as many organ donors as possible. Hancock explained
the importance of AMA Saves Lives and Gift of Life because Michigan organ donor laws changed regarding registration. Signing the back of one’s license is no longer sufficient to be enrolled in the donor registry. Applicants must sign up online to receive a red heart sticker for their license or to be reissued a new license with the heart imprinted. Kayla Pierce, chair for AMA Saves Lives,
said people can register through amasaveslives. com. Pierce explained that AMA chapters across America compete through AMA Saves Lives in a number of ways, including Facebook posts and more. “We have video competitions, we have a YouTube channel and we have a bunch of videos for AMA Saves Lives,” Pierce said. See AMA, page 2

“Probably nobody understands all of the challenges (this college faces) in great detail,” Luke said. “That’s why we need a lot of input from as many people as possible.” Senior Vice President and LCC Provost Stephanie Shanblatt has been working closely with Luke on the project. “The list of challenges (this college faces) is not necessarily complete,” Shanblatt said. “We’re really taking a different approach to strategic planning. “There are some ma-

jor changes that have happened in higher education, the economy and such … we need to address these things because they are challenges to our vitality as an institution.” As for the picketing outside LCC’s Administration Building last November, Shanblatt shared she “didn’t really know what that accomplishes.” Luke and Shanblatt both said they hope to have the majority of discussion with the LCC public completed by spring break 2012, and a new strategic plan created and
proposed to the LCC Board of Trustees by fall 2012. Individuals can learn more about how they
can make their voices heard by visiting http://web.lcc.edu/strategy/ and making comments on that site.
“I think we’ve got an opportunity here to come with a plan that really pulls a lot of things together,”
Luke said. “Our goal is to help LCC become a leader and an innovator. I’m sure we’ll be able to do that.”

LCC-AMA was in the top three spots in all categories last year. AMA also promoted the organ donation campaign during its Marketing Week from Jan. 17 to 20. “And we’re participating in the health fair that’s coming up for February,” Hancock said.

LCC rids software program Nathan Wilson Associate Editor The Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS) is reaching its end of life as a software product at LCC. The college plans to evaluate proposed solutions to replace it. According to Chris Bennett, the director of Information Security and Infrastructure Support at LCC, the college has been using Oracle for eight years to manage voicemail, calendars and document storage. “The Oracle Collaboration Suite has difficulties with the newer upgrades that have been coming out for Microsoft Windows desktops,” Bennett said. “So as that software keeps changing … we are finding that there are problems that we run into.” Some of these problems include difficulty accessing files or calendar entry mistakes, he said. “That’s why we’re looking to move up to a product that is … going

to take advantage of the newer ways that people communicate now, with more instant messaging, more ability to collaborate amongst themselves,” Bennett added. “We’ve created a request for proposals and sent that out,” said LCC Chief Information Officer Kevin Bubb. “We basically identified what we consider to be our requirements for email, calendar, filework spaces, conferencing, instant messaging and voicemail … We’re looking for any vendor
who has a solution to respond to us.” Bubb said he is hoping for a software solution with a more modern, user-friendly web interface and improved voicemail and mobile device integration. According to Bennett, a committee composed of employees from Information Technology Services, administrative offices and the LCC Library evaluated proposed solutions to replace Oracle. However, Bubb said LCC was unable to ac-
cept any of the proposals received, thus canceling the software presentations scheduled for the week of Jan. 17. “None of (the vendors) provided an integrated solution for all the things we were looking for,” Bubb said. “So there wasn’t anything for us to do demos on later in the month. “The team is still looking at some other alternatives or maybe some things we can do with some existing products … increasing some licenses on products and so forth.” Bubb said he would like to have a new system as soon as possible after a selection is proposed to the LCC Board of Trustees for approval. “We would get moving forward on the project fairly quickly,” Bubb said. “There are so many components to this that we would have to figure out a timeline. “The hope would be that we have the bulk of the work done during next year.”

Cagers win five straight Dominick Mastrangelo Editor in Chief With a 6-10 season record Jan. 8, the Lansing Community College men’s basketball team returned from semester break with a sizeable task in front of it. The Stars had to defeat 12-2 Muskegon Community College at home to further their chances of turning their season around. “Any mistakes we’ve made last semester we have to put behind us,” LCC coach Mike Ingram said. “We’ve got a lot of confidence now. It’s going to be a matter of executing. The first task is beating Muskegon.” Ingram didn’t even have to take his coat off. The Stars trounced Muskegon 89-79 Jan. 9 to keep their team morale at a maximum and for the moment, their postseason hopes alive. Freshman guard Skyelar Moore’s spearheaded the Stars offense. He scored 26 points including a perfect five-for-five from 3-point range, to seal the victory for the Stars.

“They were giving me that (long range) shot all day,” Moore said. “I had to take it every time.” Sophomore guard Nate Duhon added 23 points, three rebounds and three assists in the LCC victory. Duhon said the Star winning streak was not going anywhere. “We knew we were capable of a victory like this all year. It’s all about executing the fundamentals,” Duhon said. With just two days to prepare for an important road game at Ancilla College in Indiana, Ingram and the Stars focused on their strengths rather than their weaknesses in practice.
Bingo. The Stars increased their winning streak with a hard-fought victory over Ancilla, 76-72, Jan. 11. Of the 23 field goals the Stars made in the game, 11 of them were from threepoint range. “It took me awhile to figure out what these guys were best at,” Ingram said after returning home. “In years past, I haven’t had the kind of guys that can shoot the ball like that. I’ve got those guys now for sure.” The Stars returned home Jan. 14 to face Jackson Community College and won again, this time 104-89. It was the first time the Stars had scored over 100 points this season. Duhon was among five Stars who scored in double figures, leading the team with 21 points, 10 rebounds and two assists. “It’s all good right now,” Duhon said. “We’ve just got to keep doing what we do best.” The Stars had a week off and were scheduled to play Jan. 21 at home vs. Lake Michigan College.

Lady cagers top Ancilla; fall to Muskegon, Jackson Ben Doane Sports Writer After posting the best fall semester record in recent memory, the LCC women’s basketball team had a lot to boast about as it entered the spring semester. The Stars were 10-2, riding a four-game winning streak, and seemingly could not be stopped. Reality was about to set in. The Stars played host to Muskegon Community College Jan. 9 and lost 6553. Foul trouble plagued the Stars in the loss. A total of five Stars had at least three fouls by the time the final buzzer had sounded. Muskegon shot 57 percent from the free-throw line and held a sturdy lead the entire game. “Once we started fouling like we did, the game got out of hand,” LCC Coach Earvin Brunson said. “Our intensity level dropped in the second half.” It was the worst loss

LCC had been handed all season. The Stars had no time to wallow in self pity however, as they had a date with the Chargers of Ancilla College just two days later. At Ancilla Jan. 11, the Stars earned a narrow 67-65 victory. The win improved LCC’s overall record to 11-3. Next, the Stars looked to make up the Muskegon hosted Jackson Community College Jan. 14. Gannon was not friendly to the women again
as they came up short in a shootout with the Jets, 108-98. “It was an up-tempo game,” Brunson said. “Usually if you score as many points as we did, you’re going to come out on top.” The Stars (11-4) were scheduled to take on Lake Michigan College on Saturday, Jan. 21, still in search of their first home victory of spring semester.

Countdown to freedom Only seven more months until I turn 21 years old, a milestone and the legal drinking age. For most of my youth, I found myself counting down the years and months until I was old enough to legally partake in an activity on which the government had placed an age requirement. For years I was dependent on my parents and older friends in high school to drive me everywhere before I had my own license. I was also dependent on my mom to sit through horror movies with me in theaters until I turned 18 years old. Laws that dictate age requirements on smoking cigarettes, driving a vehicle, the consenting age for sex and even town curfews are all justified in protecting America’s youth from harm. But do all age requirements fit the activity they are placed on? Does it make sense
that the government allows a 16-year-old in the state of Michigan the right to consent to something as serious as sex, but that same 16 year old is not “mature” enough to watch such grown-up material in movies until they reach the age of 18? Rated “R” movies are also given their rating for violent content, but in this modern generation, anything violent that can be seen in a movie can be watched online or on late television. A 16-year-old can get behind the wheel of a vehicle and kill another person. The government trusts the ability of such a young driver over a
16-year-old’s mental capability to watch a rated “R” movie, and to differentiate fact from fiction. Changing the age requirements and laws might upset some people while making others happy. I understand changing and forming laws are not a simple matter, especially when it comes to drinking alcohol, voting and joining the military. However with different beliefs and maturity levels of people spanning across such a wide scale, it doesn’t seem right that everyone is placed on the same level. In the long run, increasing the age requirement on consenting one’s body or driving a vehicle may do more good than harm, as would lowering the age requirement on buying a ticket to a “R” film or being allowed to enter a bar after dark to watch a local band.

Dance captures the American Spirit Shauna Stocken A&E Editor With the audition process complete, practice is now underway for the spring dance concert at LCC, American Spirit. LCC has performed an annual spring dance concert since the early 1970s, according to D’onna Jacot, a beginning and intermediate tap instructor. Jacot has worked at LCC since 1978. Vickie Diebold is the director of American Spirit, dance faculty member at LCC and the head of LCC’s dance department. Diebold has developed this year’s theme for the concert, a duty she has performed for the past four years. This year’s theme takes audience members through different aspects of what it means to be an American citizen. “Back in September when I was thinking about a theme, there was a lot of media coverage on 9/11,” Diebold said. “I wanted to do a piece on what it meant to be an American. I feel like sometimes we

Successful auditionees must register for a dance repertory and techniques class, as well as meet for various rehearsal times with their choreographer before the concert. This year’s concert has a diverse range of dancers including LCC students, high
school students, alumni and a dancer in her 60s. “Last year’s concert was fantastic,” Diebold said. “This year’s concert is heavier, but I’m excited to see how everything goes.” American Spirit will be held in Dart Auditorium Thursday, April 5 and 6 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, April 7 at 2 p.m. Diebold said she hopes attendees will leave American Spirit feeling prideful about being an American.
For two weeks, LCC’s Performing Arts Department is featuring an off-Broadway musical. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change explores relationships, love and marriage among other topics, making this musical ideal for the Valentine’s season. From falling in love, marriage and having children to having loved and lost, the musical pays tribute to it all with a comical approach. The musical runs Feb. 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 8 p.m. with a special Valentine’s performance Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the LCC Black Box Theatre before the performance in GB 168, where the musical will be performed, or in advance by calling (517)-483-1012.

Stop at the Fork in the Road Fork in the Road serves a variety of diner style food with a twist.

Robert Downey Jr., left, and Jude Law star in the sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
Holmes impresses again Lee Rumler Staff Writer (Funny coincidence: I’m actually writing this story at The Fork in the Road.) Sherlock Holmes has always been one of my favorite characters. Smart, sexy, and more than a little insane, I can’t help but think of him as a less badass (but more famous) version of myself. On top of that, the first Sherlock Holmes to feature Robert Downey Jr. happened to be my favorite movie of 2009 – one of the few to stand out the year after The Dark Knight hit theaters. So, needless to say, I was fairly excited when I heard Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was coming out. In fact, I believe my exact quote was, “If that movie has Moriarty in it, I might have to pull a Paul Reubens.” Now, I don’t even want to hear people comparing the movie to the book: No cinematic picture can capture the same detail as a book – especially one as well written as the classic – because a movie is only two hours long. However, this fact did not keep Sherlock Holmes from being awesome. One of my favorite aspects of the first movie was the fight scenes – specifically, the method in which Holmes would plan out a perfect attack/ defense strategy in slow motion, rewind, and execute the attack flawlessly. Featuring nearly twice as many action scenes as the first movie, A Game of Shadows has brought
this style of fighting back with vengeance. But admittedly, I’m still a little torn on how I feel about the extra emphasis on action: while the excess of explosions, breaking bones and broken teeth definitely appealed to my masculine side, I couldn’t help but notice it detract from the on-screen detective work. In fact, one of my big-
gest complaints about the movie was the lack of detective work. Between the action scenes and character development, the movie just didn’t have time for it. Which is a shame since Sherlock Holmes is a gosh-darn detective. All in all, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was a pretty good movie, and definitely worth seeing.

Fork in the Road is a quaint eatery that offers many staples of a diner, but with a twist. Fork in the Road is located at 2012 W. Saginaw St., which is where Saginaw and Oakland diverge. The diner just recently moved from its food truck called Trailer Park’d in Old Town to its new location where customers can now stay warm while they eat. The diner’s goal is to use ingredients from local resources in the food they make. Now let’s get to what is probably most important: how the food tastes. First, their chicken noodle soup is spectacular. It’s definitely not like the soup that comes in a can. It is 100 times better.

For starters, the noodles are homemade, the flavor was phenomenal and unlike most chicken noodle soups, there was no shortage of chicken. It was quite possibly the best chicken noodle soup I have ever had. Another staple on their menu is the grilled cheese sandwich. Again not your average grilled cheese; so much better. The sandwich is made up of two different cheeses — cheddar and chevre, which is like a goat cheese — an arugula pesto and bacon. The end product is yummo, (as Rachel Ray would say). Now I’m not one to
usually try new things, especially if I don’t know what they are. So when I saw the weird-looking cheese, I didn’t exactly jump at taking a bite of the sandwich. But I’m glad I did because it was great. Some of the menu items are a little pricy, but not outrageous. A bowl of soup was about $4.50 and the grilled cheese is $8. It is all locally sourced so know that you’re helping local businesses. If you’re looking for someplace new, different and delicious to eat, I would definitely recommend Fork in the Road.

— ‘I am invincible!’ —
Can you afford four more years? The news has been awash with nothing but Republican campaign trails over the past few weeks as we head into national primaries. I’ve had the chance to scrutinize every candidate. I've watched almost each one surge to the top of the polls and then plummet. That is, except for the only electable candidate who can defeat Barack Obama in 2012: Mitt Romney. Frankly, I’m fed up with Republicans in denial of this obvious truth, flipping back and forth between one weak candidate to the next (ahem, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Ron Paul.) No matter how much you may adore Ron Paul, he will fail to win the nomination for his radical views, end of discussion. Santorum’s support will slip among independents for his outlandish views from comparing homosexuality to incest and
supporting the idea of states banning contraception. I haven’t heard much out of him besides his peculiar obsession with family values and anointing himself the “Jesus candidate.” A theocracy is not going to restore this economy, Rick, and you’re not Jesus. And then there’s Newt Gingrich, arguably the best debater, also the least disciplined and temperamental candidate. In fact, he seems to be running purely for spite against Romney, accusing him of being a “liar” and “predator,” even suggesting that he, Perry, and Santo-
rum should gang up on him. Considering all of this, Romney is easily the best candidate for his governing skills and business experience. He advocates a stronger military (not shrinking it like Obama is intent on doing). He supports repealing Obamacare and cultivating business, not crushing it with taxes and regulation. I’m ready to see some actual leadership in the White House, not a “campaigner in chief” who bulldozes his agenda through Congress and blames everything on banks and corporations. We probably wouldn’t be in the same situation we are in today had Republicans nominated Romney during the 2008 election instead of a weak candidate like John McCain. Hopefully, they bear this in mind going forward and don’t make the same mistake twice.
— Shouting a Nuance —
Back in black and white It's 2 a.m. the night before this column is due, and I can't help but wonder what possessed me to come back to The Lookout. To be honest, when I left The Lookout last year, I wasn’t planning on coming back – not even for freelance work. But hey, time and circumstances change plans and opinions, and somehow, last semester, I found myself writing a story or two an issue. And now, one semester of freelancing and listening to Dominick begging me to come back later, I’ve returned. It’s a smaller position, with less responsibility; nonetheless, I’m back, writing piercing reviews and rambling semi-philosophical essays I cleverly disguise as columns. But I still can't believe I'm back.
When I left last year, I was convinced journalism was ruining my creative writing skills and devouring the time I’d use for other more important pursuits. In all honesty, I'm not sure why I thought that anymore. Last year, my writing skills flourished under Larry’s tutelage and my fellow staff members’ critique and criticism. And since then, I've yet to pursue a damn thing, because, well, I'm lazy. It's good to be back, though. I've definitely missed the staff: Kai-
tlin’s adorable naivety, Dominick’s unrelenting hysteria and Nathan’s unchanging levelheadedness haunted me like a hometown left behind. And now we have a few new, interesting faces around the office. Courtney has taken Mike's throne, and from what I understand, Amber is showing great promise as a staff writer. Of course, the new situation brings new challenges: This is my second job now, on top of school full time, which puts my free time at a new low since high school. And with my morale and motivation at all-time lows since the start of college, that might actually become a problem. But who knows? What I do know is that I won't regret the decision to come back. Of that, I'm certain.

The difference between necessity and necessary The notion of college, in recent years, has taken a vast turn from the word necessity, into the words hardly necessary. This semester, enrollment at LCC has dropped. We as a staff believe this is partly due to students recognizing college as unnecessary. Long gone are the days where an individual needed a college degree to get a high paying job. We as a staff are beginning to realize the job market is slowly turning back the clock in the hiring department. No graduate is guaranteed a job. The only difference in a college graduate and someone who didn’t go to college is as follows: College debt and a fancy piece of paper. With no job and no real world experience, it is hard for an employer to want to
hire anyone Don’t get us wrong. For many people college is necessary. We are just simply expressing that we have found a trend. Students are now beginning to recognize that in the real job world, experience is starting to once again become more important than qualification.
