Don’t schedule your classes back-to-back: For so many reasons, hav ing back to back classes forces you to miss out on the most valuable studying time: right before and right after classes; it also doesn’t allow for the long-winded profes sor who forgets you “have some place to be and perpetually goes ten minutes over class time. And of course, having a break is good so that you can eat, interchange books from your car, or even stop by an instructor’s office for some extra help. 7. won cash? Welcome to college: When ■cafeteria’s prices just aren’t vibing with per to the ASG student store where you I a candy bar for only 80 cents. While llaw food service is tasty, you’ll need at grab anything from that side of the cafe- Study the hardest subject first: It’s like pulling a band-aid off; just get it over with. Remember to get your hard est work done first so you can do it when you’re least tired and have the clearest mindset possible. Most of us start with our easiest work first but switch it around (hardest first, easiest last) and you may be bound for success. 8., Never underestimate the mini stapler: Invest in a mini stapler. There are some profes sors at CCC who will not accept papers that are unstapled and since most rooms aren’t equipped with staplers, and after class is considered late, you could be in quite a predicament. Tough luck, unless...you’re prepared! And, -you brought your handy mini stapler. It’s one of the smallest, most use ful things you’ll ever buy in your college career. 9. Granola bars are your BFFs: Always try to pack something to snack on whether it be a granola bar or Gardetto’s (although those little brown rye piec es are embarrassingly loud to chew on during a silent class) or even candy. Long lectures WILL make you hungry and paying atten tion is crucial if you want to make it through that research paper tonight. 10. Don’t piss off the professor: Self-explana tory.

In an attempt to sneak a date with Britta, Jeff pretends to start a study group for Spanish, expecting no one to show up and giving him a chance to win the girl. Britta, however, invites Jeff’s newfound friend Abed who invites the rest of the ragtag cast to a new Spanish study group. . Britta soon discovers Jeff is manipulative and self-centered, making the rest of the show a series of attempts for Jeff to repent and find a way into her heart, or pants. “Community” takes the usual condescend ing tone when it deals with community col leges and inevitably hides some over exagger ated truth. ....... lamas Print pamas Print ■Molalla Ave. juty, OR 97045 f958, ext. 2309 - - Co-Editor in Chief: Kayla Berge Co-Editor in Chief: John Hurlburt Copy Editor:' Kayla Calloway News Editor: Abigail Neet Associate News: Annemarie Schulte A&C Editor: Matthew Ostergren Sports Editor: Mark Foster Photo Editor: John Shufelt Web Editor: Brad Heineke Stereotypes are the bread and butter of the show and if someone is easily offended, this is not where they will be spending 30 minutes. Most of the cast is composed of little known actors with the exception of Chevy Chase, “The Daily Show’s” John Oliver and Joe McHale Chase’s role is “the old man.” Inadvertently racist and sexually inappropriate he optimizes the stereotype of an old man stuck in his ways and propels himself to his best role since his old days of National Lampoon. Each episode revolves around different classes taught at the college. Each teacher is uniquely insane at the college. One teacher seems to have chewed on too many disco chips a few years back and now believes he is living “Dead Poets Society,” with an over the top Carpe Diem zeal. I wasn’t expecting to like the show after watching its previews. Once I witnessed the first episode, I couldn’t help but watch the next two. The show takes a lot of shots at com munity colleges but at the same time mends the wounds it deals by showing some of the advantages institutions like Clackamas have, especially at giving second chances. Ultimately one of the points that “Community,” proves is that everyone is equal at a Jr. College regardless if you’re an ex-pill popper or the high school prom king. “Community” plays Thursday nights on NBC at 8 pan. .............
