 Old School is teach­ing the arts of tradi­tional and sustainable living, said Part-time C ommu n i c a t i o n s Instructor and Old School founder Maggie Shepard.

Based in the Albuquerque Mennonite Church on Girard Boulevard, Old School teaches the basics of a viable lifestyle that have been used for centuries, she said.

“People are finally get­ting back to their roots and the natural way to live,” said Shepard.

The program offers several classes that include canning, cheese making, as well as a kitchen cos­metics class that teaches students how to make skin cream and lip balm.

 Banning of the use of electric cigarettes in common areas and classrooms on campus is not right. In the article “Electronic ciga­rettes may be formally banned from indoor use on campus” on page 10, Director of Marketing and Communications Brad Moore said that the school has always con­sidered electronic cigarettes to be the same as cigarettes, but often, these devices are used by students, staff and faculty in an effort to quit smoking.

Editorial: Congratulations to the All State recipients

  We are very happy to see a boost in numbers for the All Statescholarship. Six students applied for and received the All USA scholarship, as mentioned in this week’s front page article “The CNM six.”

In 2012, only one student applied for the award, even though the school can nominate up to 10 students.

Tuition at many four year institutions in New Mexico is very expensive, and students should take any opportunities for money toward furthering their education.

The All State scholarship is an excel­lent choice because it offers such a high reward and is rewarded based on com­munity involvement, something every student to be doing.

To the six students who received the scholarship: Great job.

To other students reading this edito­rial: We cannot wait to publish your name as a recipient for next year’s scholarship.

We hope to see all 10 spots filled for next year’s scholarship.

 On a serious note: please know that this series is intended to be a spoof, a lighthearted invitation to look at how we create our misery. It is by no means meant to be disre­spectful or minimizing of many peo­ple’s true pain, particularly around depression and anxiety.

A proven technique to gener­ate an internal state of depres­sion is to start on the outside and work your way to the inside.

In the second of this two part article, we will concentrate on your outward behavior and internal thought patterns.

This systematic approach will slowly but surely destroy your life spirit.

Tasha Davidson, Mechanical Engineering

“I like beer. I don’t like alcohol. Beer I can have more of because I don’t really drink often.”

 Jeremiah Goodson, Fire Science

“It would probably be Jack Daniels and Coke. I guess because I’m from Texas so we drink Jack and Coke a lot.”

 Nathan Steinman, Nursing Assistant

“Honestly, I don’t really have one. I guess I can’t come up with one off the top of my head that stands out. That Fireball stuff is pretty good.”

 Bo Sanchez, Networking Administration

“Long island iced tea because it does the job quickly and tastes good.”

 Daisy Hercules, Nursing major

“Probably Malibu pineapple. It’s a sweet drink.”
