President Richards opens doors to students

by F. A. PRIDGON Managing Editor

n Thursday, October 29, College of Southern Nevada President Michael Richards met with students one-on-one at his office. This was all part of an initiative to give students a chance to present their questions and concerns, or, to just get to know President Richards. Richards, who was appointed president of CSN in May 2008, felt there was a disconnect between him and the students at this institution. “For the most part, I feel like I’m not as in touch with students as I could be or need to be.” said Richards. “I saw this as an opportunity to be in touch with [students], and also to help them and receive their ideas and so on. The meetings are a chance to sit down and talk about what might be on the mind of a student. If they have a problem or concern we could get that addressed.” K.C. Brekken, communications manager at CSN, scheduled the meetings. Students were able to set up appointments by emailing talk2theprez@ csn.edu, a special email address set up for the students of CSN, or by calling the office. “I worked with K.C. on setting the [meetings] up, and we had about fourteen or sixteen students indicate an interest in this and set up a time.” said Richards. The structure of the meetings were fairly simple; a two hour block

NEWS with about five minutes per student. Richards says he plans on doing the one-on-one meetings with CSN students in the future, but some aspects will probably be modified. “I think we’re going to change it just a little bit. We’re going to keep the appointment process for those who would like appointments, but also, open it up a little broader to students who may just want to drop in.” said Richards. As of now, there is no set date for the next session. “We’ll do it about once a semester, and announce well in advance kind of like we did this time with notices on the digital panels, and so on.” says Richards. Fall 2009 is the first semester to have these studentcentered meetings with President Richards. Overall, Richards felt the oneon-one sessions with the students of CSN was a good experience. “I thought it was very positive from my perspective. We’re working now on getting some answers to some things, and we’ll communicate those back directly to the students.”

“I encourage students that if they’d like to meet with me, that they’re welcome to do it. And if they have an interest in that way to participate next time.” says Richards. Students at the College of Southern Nevada are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with President Richards regarding any concerns they may have, or questions they would like to have answered.

suing this can take the necessary classes in anticipation,” McCoy said. The program will allow communication and journalism majors, and students in the workforce to take communication classes and be able to have accreditation for their career.

ollege of Southern Nevada (CSN) participated in the 32nd Annual College Fair at Cashman Center on Oct. 27 and 28 to advertise programs to prospective students. Booths promoted CSN programs for high school students who may attend college in the future. A student from Chaparral high school said that most students who live in Las Vegas default to CSN. She felt that CSN was the best option because tuition is far cheaper than it is at universities. New programs at CSN include the upcoming Communication Certification. “The communication certificate is not yet official,” said Department of Communication chairman, James McCoy. “It still needs to be recognized by the Nevada System of Higher Education. We started the proposal process in September 2009, to possibly be approved by spring, and to be posted in catalogs by July 2011. Students interested in pur-

Dave Morgan, director of marketing at CSN, said that electricity is provided to booths that request it. “We provide school/department name signage, table covers, view books, posters and logo items, including pencils, pens and highlighters for each booth. We do not provide keychains because they are not allowed at the fair. This is because giveaway items must be ‘educational’ in nature according to CCSD instructions,” Morgan stated. Morgan stressed that the only thing each department had to bring was their own brochures, literature, displays, presentations, and other items of that sort. The money CSN spent for each booth space went to the Clark County School District (CCSD) School Counselors Scholarship for students. Chairperson and coordinator of the college fair, Brian P. Moore, said that the event is supported by CCSD and there are three main reasons why this event is needed. “The mission of middle and high school counselors is to make students more aware of the importance of a

college education. Many of our students do not have the means to travel and see the college to which they are applying. So, we bring the colleges to Las Vegas where students can meet and obtain more information from the colleges in person. Finally, we provide a scholarship called the CCSD School Counselor’s Scholarship sponsored by the Clark County Public Education Foundation (CCPEF),” Moore said. The scholarship offered is worth $40,000. “One, the scholarship is for $1000 for one graduating senior from each of the comprehensive high schools in CCSD, and one $1,000 scholarship for a graduating senior from the district’s alternative high schools.” said Secretary Jessica Festa. The Clark County College Fair Plus, Inc. (CCCPF) is established as a non-profit business. Festa stated that there were four people involved in the planning of the College Fair. “So while my title was secretary, we all pitch in to help in any way that we can. I wanted to clarify because I don’t want to convey the idea that the responsibilities I carried out have to do with being called the secretary. This year, I helped us obtain our temporary event permit, which involved communicating with the department of taxation, and the city of Las Vegas,” Festa stated. The CCPEF is dedicated in generating community resources, facilitating collaborations, and partnerships to ensure high-quality public educational opportunities for all children.

Give Thanks for Nothing

Photos By: Maya Arellano

hanksgiving is a confounding holiday. We all learned the story in the 2nd grade; pilgrims have a crappy harvest, Native Americans share their food, everyone’s happy…yay. The part our elementary school play conveniently didn’t mention was when the pilgrims gave natives small pox, stole their land, and implemented a 400-year cultural genocide. To symbolize our Native brothers kindness for exchanging beads for property rights, we have now developed a holiday of glutton and passiveness.

Memories of thanksgiving revolve around food: great feasts at grandma’s house, pumpkin pie breakfast, weeks of leftover turkey sandwiches, and sweet tryptophan slumber. And also, giving thanks for the bounty placed before us. Who exactly are we giving all these thanks to? God is the easy answer, regardless of differing religious views; most people like to thank a higher power for the good things in life. The second easy answer would be family. More often than not we are thankful for our families love and support. But Thanksgiving, at its core, is not a religious or family holi-

day; it’s a national holiday to signify a historical event. So are we supposed to be thankful for our history, country and leaders? I sure as sh*t can’t be thankful for the supposed unity between the natives and settlers, or for the wars waged, bullets shot, and bombs dropped for the sake of the American way. This Thanksgiving was different. It felt more and more that I’m not the only one with a pessimistic outlook on life. Today, many people are finding it a lot harder to be thankful for anything. As I drive down Main St. I can’t help but wonder; how thankful are the people living in tents CONTINUES PAGE 12

We also have a soaring foreclosure rate, often settling at the top nationwide. According to many lists, Vegas is pretty much at the bottom of “Best city to…” and the top of “worst city to…” I am thankful for my lost house, my mounting debt, my layoff, and my flat-screen. This Thanksgiving I refused to be thankful. This year I wanted to be hungry...hungry for something more meaningful than pilgrims and pie. In that spirit I volunteered at a shelter. Maybe in the faces of the destitute I can discover meaning in this holiday. After all isn’t that what Thanksgiving should be about: helping others? Would we be here if the natives hadn’t been caring enough to not watch fellow humans starving to death? And after-all, the shelter is the one place where I can find something to be thankful for. No matter how screwed up I feel things are now, they could always be worse. And that’s something we can all be thankful for. If you need help, or want to help this holiday season, please contact one of the many Las Vegas area shelters.

From fake eyelashes to eyelash implants to even eyelash extensions- there are all sorts of solutions. Any medical procedure will undoubtedly be extremely expensive, and unless you have a series of Benjamin Franklin bills to spare, the easiest and cheapest way to get A-List Hollywood eyelashes is by purchasing “falsies” at a near by drug store. So how do those A-List celebrities manage to fake having long, thick, sexy, luscious lashes? Tear this page out, because the simplest and easiest way to apply eyelashes is in this article. Though applying them can be quite the challenge, you’ll have enough time to practice for those upcoming holiday parties.
