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. Let’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 ex-actly what price you’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 a"ord? The ideas is not as farfetched as it may sound. On a recent sojourn in Australia I stum-bled across the restaurant Lentil As Any-thing in Melbourne, which is considered the cultural capital of the country. Lentil As Anything is a mostly vegan restau-rant 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 va-riety of teas and co"ee 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 décor and a wall brought to life by a mural explaining the lack of pric-es on their menu. “The pay-as-you-feel philosophy allows for diverse members of the community to enjoy a meal without

drawing attention to their financial situ-ation or compromising their dignity.” In other words, you can pay whatever you want or can a"ord 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. “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 o"set the leaner times.” 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 pay-what-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 wasn’t until Panera Bread opened their first Panera Cares Community Café in St. Louis that the idea had a major prosely-tizer. 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 kitch-ens and experiencing the demoralizing atmosphere as well as the sub-par food. He also explains that he felt his cor-poration had a responsibility to use its resources to better communities around the country.The first café was a sort of social experi-ment 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 cafés. These cafés carry the exact same menu items and look exactly as any typical Panera Bread would, even down to the free WiFi. These self sustaining estab-lishments not only help those who may not be able to a"ord 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 Cafés. Al-though vice president of public relations at the Panera Bread corporate o!ce, Linn Parrish said there are currently no plans to open a Panera Cares in South-ern California. However, as these cafés 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.

OPINION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 2013 4Protecting our youth in dangerous times Randy VazquezEditor-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

at Sandy Hook Elementary School, these choices were taken from them, along with their lives.

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 locked-up like animals. It would, however,

be ignorant to think that the world is some safe, serene place where Rob-ert 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

Security in schools needs to be increased. Not just in number of secu-rity on staff, but in adequately arming security and teachers for situations such as school shootings. By arming I do not mean giving ev-ery 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 connect-ing 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 every-day occurrence but they have hap-pened, 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 con-cern a kid should be worried about is whether they should eat squared pizza or nuggets.

As the spring semester reared its head from the cold shadows of winter, so did a new policy that would affect a small, yet noticeable demographic on the campus – smokers. A new smoking ban has taken ef-fect that limits smokers to designated areas on campus where they can light up as they please. Students have voiced their opinions, and we found out one thing: most smokers and non-smokers seemed to be not quite bothered by it. In fact, while tobacco

ban, they don’t even seem to think

the ban is a big deal.

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 smok-ers 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 non-smokers are getting a say in deciding if they want to be around something that might cause harmful effects to their health. It’s unfair to those who may either be pregnant or suffering from bad asthma to have a smoker right outside their building, with the smoke lingering while they are in a classroom or getting some air during a break. While the opposition can pro-claim this ban as unfair and incon-venient, they have to remember that

habit. It shouldn’t involve everyone else. It’s time for both sides to stop griping and move on.

Editorial

Get over the new smoking policy

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

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 accommoda-tions 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 dan-ger of butt bushes. Crisis averted.

-sition is the proposed usage of funds

smokers outside of the 10-foot desig-nated smoking area. The fees, hold-on to your butts for this fact, are to be used for funding the implementation and costs of the smoking areas.

2013 Athletics Hall of Fame

Adolfo Tigerino/MOUNTAINEER

Members of the Hall of Fame class of 2013 show off their awards at the recent Mt. SAC Hall of Fame dinner.

Mt. SAC held its 2013 Athletics hall of fame banquet Saturday night where former athlete, Antonio Pierce, former coaches Art Mazmanian, Don Ruh, and Dr. Ernie Gregoire were all com-memorated for their contribution to Mt. SAC athletics. Also inducted were Willie Dancer, Pam Newton, former athletic administrator Linda Garrison and supporter of Mt. SAC athletics Sophia B. Clarke.

former athletes, coaches, faculty, past inductees, friends and family all which came to support the 2013 class. “I have always prided myself in being a SAC dog for life. It is a huge honor for me,” said former NFL player, and

champion football team, Antonio Pierce. “I take nothing for granted. I did not take it for granted that I was going to be successful when I got here but with hard work and given the opportunity that I was given by Mt. SAC, I am here today.” The 2013 athletics hall of fame

event has taken place. “We had the hall of fame commit-tee 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 col-lage of all the inductees followed by an introduction and speech by the members of the 2013 class. The induction into the hall of fame had special meaning for certain indi-vidual.

person ever hired at Mt. SAC,” said Gregoire. “I was hired because I was black,” he said. “But in the 50 years I have been there I have carved a legacy. This is validation and they [Mt. SAC] just did not hire someone because they were black but someone who was good for Mt. SAC and I think I proved that.” Although it has been over 20 years since the athletics hall of fame event

to take another 20 years to take place again. “We are 20-years behind and we got a lot more to go,” said Jennum. “The commitment is to not make this event a one shot deal, he said. “I think what we have is group of committed individuals who want to see this part of Mt. SAC tradition.”

A & E WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 2013 6The “Metal Gear” franchise returns with a new installment that will please loyalists and new fans alike.

Damion Julien-RohmanSta! 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 hack-and-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 high-

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 fast-paced, stylish action that refuses to hit the brakes the moment you start playing, and is consistently satisfying.

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

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

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 hack-and-slash brawler. The components for both are there with the option for the player to do either, but those that

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.
