The  Pay  What  You  Feel  Philosophy 2L]PU -SVYLZ Staff  Writer

Can you fathom an economy run by consumer driven prices? In our current capitalist system, through our demand for a product or service, the idea is already there. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take the concept further and apply it in a more direct and radical way. How about going shopping for a new car and telling the dealer exactly what price youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see slapped across the windshield? How about a restaurant where there is never a bill but rather you pay only what you feel the meal was worth or whatever you could afford? The ideas is not as farfetched as it may sound.

On a recent sojourn in Australia I stumbled across the restaurant Lentil As Anything in Melbourne, which is considered the cultural capital of the country. Lentil As Anything is a mostly vegan restaurant with three locations in Melbourne.

They serve food from across the cultural spectrum ranging from African, Indian to Nepalese cuisine. Typical fare consists of Thai Yellow Curry, Tandoori Potato, Middle Eastern Majudra as well as a variety of teas and coffee but wide variety of food options is not the most unique aspect of the eatery.

Upon entering the first thing one notices is the earthy dĂŠcor and a wall brought to life by a mural explaining the lack of prices on their menu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pay-as-you-feel philosophy allows for diverse members of the community to enjoy a meal without

drawing attention to their financial situation or compromising their dignity.â&#x20AC;? In other words, you can pay whatever you want or can afford into a donation box as you leave.

Their menu tells us they began as an establishment which catered to artists who may be broke one week but then the following week would pick up a contract or sell a piece of art work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the less abundant weeks these patrons would be welcome to eat, drink, and find support at Lentil As Anything. In the more abundant weeks patrons would share with fellow artists by paying a little extra, and in so doing a balance and accord was created to offset the leaner times.â&#x20AC;? The ideology which grew out of these beginnings has since thrived for over a decade.

A snappy 15 hour flight finds us back on U.S. turf where this concept of paywhat-you-feel has begun to gain some momentum. While a few small mom and pop operations exist around the country which embrace this philosophy it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Panera Bread opened their first Panera Cares Community CafĂŠ in St. Louis that the idea had a major proselytizer.

The donation system at Panera Cares is very similar to that of Lentil As Anything back in Melbourne. There is a donation box in which the customers deposit whatever amount they want or are able to pay.

The co-CEO of Panera Bread, Ron Shaich, explains during a TED Talk from

2010 that he conceived the initiative partly from volunteering in soup kitchens and experiencing the demoralizing atmosphere as well as the sub-par food.

He also explains that he felt his corporation had a responsibility to use its resources to better communities around the country.

The first cafĂŠ was a sort of social experiment testing the generosity and integrity of the human spirit. It turned out quite successful,four more Panera Cares have opened since. Detroit, Portland, Chicago, and Boston are now homes to their own pay-what-you-feel community cafĂŠs.

These cafĂŠs carry the exact same menu items and look exactly as any typical Panera Bread would, even down to the free WiFi. These self sustaining establishments not only help those who may not be able to afford a good meal but also provide job training internships for at risk youths.

As the program expands the idea has been to convert some ordinary Panera Bread locations in strategic communities into Panera Cares Community CafĂŠs. Although vice president of public relations at the Panera Bread corporate office, Linn Parrish said there are currently no plans to open a Panera Cares in Southern California. However, as these cafĂŠs continue to find success they serve as a model for the pay-what-you-feel system that local businesses or entrepreneurs seeking an altruistic route can follow.

Editorial

Protecting our youth in dangerous times Randy Vazquez Editor-in-Chief Squared pizza or chicken nuggets, chocolate or two percent milk, and how I could avoid getting the slow kid on my basketball team at recess; these are some of the decisions I would have worried about making in elementary school, but for the group VM ÄYZ[ NYHKLYZ HUK ZP_ [LHJOLYZ at Sandy Hook Elementary School, these choices were taken from them, along with their lives. ;OL OVYYPÄJ L]LU[Z [OH[ VJJ\YYLK PU Newtown, Conn. on Dec.14, 2012, will not be forgotten, but could this tragedy and other school related shootings have been avoided? Did it really take losing innocent children and educators for the country to open their eyes and realized that safety in our schools is an issue?

The place where one may spend the majority of their adolescence, shape their thinking and formulate ideas for the rest of their lives should not be a prison where kids are under constant supervision of guards and lockedup like animals. It would, however,

be ignorant to think that the world is some safe, serene place where Robert Downey Jr. (aka Iron Man) is going to keep people with bad intentions in line.

According to the Brady Campaign, a campaign devoted to free of gun violence in America, there have been 123 school related shooting in the WHZ[ Ä]L `LHYZ Security in schools needs to be increased. Not just in number of security on staff, but in adequately arming security and teachers for situations such as school shootings.

By arming I do not mean giving every faculty member an M-60 machine gun to protect themselves, but there should be available weapons for members of the security staff when the situation calls upon it. Possibly there can be a safe room connecting all rooms in a department, where teachers can shelter their students until a threat is gone.

I am not promoting gun violence, what I am promoting is prevention.

One child lost is already one too many, and if arming these people who are in charge of protecting our schools is the only way to keep threats out of schools, then let it be.

School shootings are not an everyday occurrence but they have happened, and it needs to be a priority to make sure it does not happen again, and by stepping up security these schools can assure the biggest concern a kid should be worried about is whether they should eat squared pizza or nuggets.

Get over the new smoking policy the ban is a big deal. ;OPZ KVLZU»[ L_HJ[S` TLHU [OH[ L]LY` one is fan of the ban. Complaints of smokers deeming this ban as “not fair” and the cries of having to walk a couple of minutes just to enjoy their habit were loudly heard. But seriously, is it really such a travesty without having to go an hour or two without smoking? Will your day be ruined because you didn’t light up before chemistry class?

All in all, Mt. SAC seems to have worked out a fair compromise to make sure a designated smoking area was close to major parts of campus.

Not only does the policy take smokers into consideratin, it importantly takes into account of those who mind being in the presence of second-hand smoke. It’s a good thing that nonsmokers are getting a say in deciding Sean Hughes / mountaineer if they want to be around something that might cause harmful effects to As the spring semester reared its head from the cold shadows of winter, their health. It’s unfair to those who may either be pregnant or suffering so did a new policy that would affect from bad asthma to have a smoker a small, yet noticeable demographic right outside their building, with the on the campus – smokers.

A new smoking ban has taken ef- smoke lingering while they are in a fect that limits smokers to designated classroom or getting some air during areas on campus where they can light a break.

While the opposition can proup as they please.

Fighting smoke with smoke As with a little bit of knowledge half-assed implementations of new policies can be dangerous, the only difference being those implanting the policies are sheltered behind a veil of power and patronizing reasoning of “because I said so.” There is enough evidence to support the claim that one of two things is true about Mt. SAC regarding its new designated ZTVRPUN WVSPJ`" [OL ÄYZ[ ILPUN [OL school feigns care and does not give a damn about smokers on campus or that the school is well-meaning and forgetful in a completely self-serving fashion.

According to the second draft of Mt. SAC’s smoking implementation plan, smokers will be given considerable and fair accommodations for being sequestered to obscure locations scattered across campus. The school graciously proposed the accommodations of table, chairs, benches, shade

or canopies, appropriately sized ash rays (whatever that cryptic phrase could mean), as well as locations away from bushes. From what I can see, none of these were afforded to the smoking locations in the nearest smoking policy of being 20-feet away from buildings was the inclusions of the areas located away from bushes.

This leads me to believe that either smokers hate bushes or the actual problem was smokers are placing their butts in bushes. We were in danger of butt bushes. Crisis averted.

“We had the hall of fame committee which is made up of employees from the athletics department and employees across campus who had the same passion to bring it back like I had,” said Athletics Director Joe Jennum. “With the support of Bill Scroggins who gave us the thumbs up to go ahead and do it we initiated the energy and created momentum to go ahead and do the hall of fame this year.”

The night started off with pictures, reunion of past friendships, and memories of times spent at Mt. SAC. “The switchbacks, running with the

cross-country team and the track team, on those hills on a hot sunny day trying to get better,” said Pierce of his memories at Mt. SAC. “Those summers when we had 30 to 40 guys committed at the junior college level, which is hard to do, and work for what we got that year which was a championship.”

The 1992 and 1993 classes were also commemorated during the night.

The night ended with a video collage of all the inductees followed by an introduction and speech by the members of the 2013 class.

“We are 20-years behind and we got a lot more to go,” said Jennum.

Game Reviews: ‘Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’ The “Metal Gear” franchise returns with a new installment that will please loyalists and new fans alike.

Damion Julien-Rohman Staff Writer The latest iteration in the long running “Metal Gear” franchise, “Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance” takes a rather big departure from the franchise’s traditional stealth-based action to bring a new game focused on hackand-slash action against multiple enemies, both cyborg and robotic in form.

Designed by PlatinumGames, creators of the cult classic title Bayonetta, Revengeance takes players on a new ride by bringing one of the series’ protagonists, Raiden, to the forefront in his second starring role.

The game takes place four years after the previous “Metal Gear” game, “Guns of the Patriots”. Raiden has taken up a job with a private security company known as Maverick, and makes his living training soldiers and providing bodyguard duty for highWYVÄSL JSPLU[Z >OPSL WYV[LJ[PUN [OL Prime Minister of Africa, his convoy is ambushed by a private military company known as Desperado, who succeeds in eliminating both Raiden’s mark and his left arm and eye. Three weeks after, Raiden begins his hunt for the members of Desperado, and the men who nearly killed him in Africa.

Much like “Bayonetta”, the main draw of “Revengeance” is fastpaced, stylish action that refuses to hit the brakes the moment you start playing, and is consistently satisfying. :TVV[O HJ[PVU WLYTLH[LZ LHJO ÄNO[ as transitions from light to heavy attacks happen with no delay or hiccup. Unlockable weapons, such as a polearm made of robotic hands, continue this trend, as combination attacks with these see no stutter when used.

Two key features of “Revengeance” are Blade Mode and Zandatsu; both necessary to keep Raiden alive. With enough power in his fuel cells, Raiden can slow down time with Blade Mode to hack a weakened enemy to shreds for an instant kill. Additionally, he can also use this mode to slice an enemy open to remove his bionic power core (spine) and absorb it to replenish both his health and fuel. This is Zandatsu,

which literally translates to, “Cut and Steal.” These attacks can be tricky to use in the beginning, as you will have to aim with the right thumbstick, but once mastered it becomes one of the best features of the game.

Each mission contains a growing variety of enemies to take out, with humanoid cyborgs and robotic animals being the main threats.

While you can always force your way [OYV\NO H YVVT ÄSSLK ^P[O LULTPLZ you are also given you the option to sneak through and eliminate baddies one by one in true “Metal Gear” form. It is a fun and entertaining alternative to the more direct route, as planning your stealth kills is key to avoid altering bigger trouble. To help in the sneaky ways, items such as smoke and electromagnetic grenades are offered, as well as the classic JHYKIVHYK IV_ [V OPKL PU When mentioning enemies, the boss battles deserve high praise as well. Each one has their own unique style and weapons, and the stages ZL[ MVY [OLZL ÄNO[Z THRL [OLT H worthy enough spectacle for a prize title bout. Reading their moves and planning ahead is a must, as their attack patterns hardly stay consistent enough to avoid mediocrity. ;OLYL PZ UL]LY H TVYL L_JP[PUN MLLSPUN

On top of all this, BP, or Battle Points, can be gained during and after almost L]LY` ÄNO[ >OLU NP]LU H SL[[LY NYHKL on your performance, these points help unlock a gamut of abilities, skills and other miscellaneous items to help in your progress.

(KKP[PVUHSS` L_WSVYPUN LHJO SL]LS will net you hidden items such as computers and data cards that unlock challenge missions and artwork.

These seemingly little things build [V OLSW L_[LUK [OL NHTL»Z SVUNL]P[` ^OPJO JHU JSVJR PU H[ H TLYL ZP_ OV\YZ when played straight through.

Unfortunately, a game as seemingly perfect such as this is not without ZVTL NSHYPUN ÅH^Z >OPSL [OL character details and in-game movies are gorgeous to look at, the environments can get bland and colorless very quickly. There is some great detail given to the levels, each providing some wide-open variety, but you may get bored of seeing brown and grey areas no matter where you are.

Additionally, when you do decide to go for the more direct attack route, be

prepared to hear about it from your team back at Maverick headquarters.

There is always a complaint or curse about the enemy discovering you, and their diatribes about the necessity for stealth can get tedious fast. It gets to the point where “Revengeance” cannot seem to decide whether it wants to be a stealth game or a hackand-slash brawler. The components for both are there with the option for the player to do either, but those that ÄUK [OLTZLS]LZ LHZPS` HUUV`LK I` Maverick’s pestering may just stick the stealth to keep them quiet. /V^L]LY KLZWP[L [OVZL ÅH^Z [OL positives still come out on top. “Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance” is one VM [OL ÄYZ[ NYLH[ HJ[PVU [P[SLZ VM [OL 5L^ @LHY HUK PZ H KLÄUP[L T\Z[ WSH` for fans of both the titular series and action games in general. ;OL MHZ[ WHJLK LWPJ ÄNO[Z HUK WVZ[ game longevity make this a worthy title to pick up and play, even if it is just for a weekend rental.

PlatinumGames has crafted yet another classic game, and it stands up as a worthy part of the long running “Metal Gear” series. “Revengeance” is highly recommended.
