Learning in an environ-ment that actually allows a student the ability to gauge their own progress on real clients for school credit is something that is distinctive to the Cosmetology program at the South Valley CNM campus, said Cosmetology major, Valerie Archibeque.
Archibeque said stu-dents learn to do all kinds of cool stuff at the campus on 5816 Isleta Blvd. SE, such as manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails, haircuts, and hair coloring, but being able to do those things on real people is what makes the learning process easier.
“It is awesome, because coming to this class is not like coming to school at all—I get to do what I love all day, every day,” Archibeque said.
The instructors provide the students with information about the industry but there are also guest speakers who come and educate the stu-dents as well, she said.
“We invite the public to come to the salon and receive any of the treatments that are offered,” Archibeque said.
The process is first come first serve and offered to any-body that shows up, she said.
If a person has a student who they prefer they can request that student to per-form the services, she said.
Some services require a test for possible allergic reac-tions, but if a person is cleared then they can choose from a wide variety of what they have to offer, she said.
The program has been around for a long time Archibeque said, but that not a lot of people know about the services that they provide on the campus.
“Everybody here is good at what they do and enjoy being able to interact with people, so everyone should come down and try us out at least once,” Archibeque said.
Cosmetology Instructional Technician, Yolanda Santos said all of the students deal with clients one-on-one, so they are able to build their communica-tion skills, as well as work-ing on the business side of their learning.
Santos said the salon is fully equipped for 17 clients for hair, and 17 clients for nails, but the amount of stu-dents doing these procedures differs depending on the time of day.
All of the equipment that is used is up to date and sani-tary, she said.
Prices for services can range anywhere from free for a manicure, $5 deep con-ditioning, or $40 for all over hair coloring lightener and tone being the most expen-sive, she said.
“Even though $40 seems like a lot, it is actually the cheapest price for that ser-vice you will find anywhere in town,” Santos said.
All products used in the salon are professional grade style items, and the salon also has a fully operational facial
room that students can utilize to provide client services, she said.
Customer service is another aspect that stu-dents learn, but is a skill that is mostly learned with hands on experience, she said.
Students need to learn to deal with all kinds of people because there is always a chance that they will get someone who is rude or difficult to deal with sometime in their careers, she said.
“Thankfully in the years that I have worked here, we have only had to throw out one client for being rude and mean,” Santos said.
Cosmetology Instructional Technician, Babette Harmon said stu-dents come in with an idea of wanting to create; but with the help of instruc-tors, as well as the cur-riculum, students learn to visualize and determine what is needed to make these creations possible.
Learning basic skills is what allows students the ability to pass the state board test, but she said by the time they graduate the program she would like to see students be equipped with advanced skills that are better than what the state requires.
“The cosmetology pro-gram might seem short because it is separated in to just four terms, but students have to work their butts off and be dedicated to do well in these classes,” she said.
Harmon said the cos-metology students have a rigorous class schedule in that time where they attend class four days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., so that students can also get used to being on
their feet and working for an eight hour workday.
The first term is almost all bookwork and basic skills, and these newer students only work on mannequins and one another in the begin-ning, she said.
Second term students start to work on clients and by the fourth term stu-dents should have repeat clients that they have established a working rela-tionship with over those three terms, she said.
Twice a year the begin-ning class opens to 16 stu-dents for a total of 32 new students a year, but when the class goes to graduation about 98 percent of those students graduate, she said.
Since the class size is so small the program can be dif-ficult to get into sometimes, she said.
“We fill up fast every semester— it seems like as soon as registration starts, we have our classes full on the first day,” Harmon said.
Prerequisites for cosme-tology are general education classes, but upon entering the first term the students study safety and sanitation exten-sively, she said.
“Our safety and sanita-tion is all based on running a clean and healthy salon,” Harmon said.
When the students start the first term; they go for five weeks of safety and sanitation, five weeks of hair cutting, five
weeks of color, and so on until graduation, she said.
The mid-term for the class consists of students having to take a mannequin and make it blend with nature in all aspects of hair and makeup, she said.
“We are very proud of the students and the work that they do,” Harmon said.

Monsanto Running for Presi-dent in 2020
By Carrie RatkevichGuest writer
In a press conference Tuesday, Monsanto announced that it would seek the presiden-tial nomination for the Democratic Party in 2020, said Sherry Sanderson, public relations representative.
The decision came after last month’s court decision, McCutcheon Et Al. VS. Federal Election Commission, that cleared the way for unlimited campaign contributions, she said.
“Instead of having to donate to the most likely candidate, we can simply put our money behind our own campaign,” Sanderson said.
According to the Supreme Court, corpora-tions have the same natural rights as any other person. This has been decided upon numerous
times since 1819 and the Trustees of Dartmouth College VS. Woodward which created the precedent.
“This will be a huge step forward in the area of corporate rights which have been largely ignored compared to other minorities,” said Sanderson.
Activist Al Sharpton called the announce-ment a farce and a travesty of justice.
“Having a corporation as a president is just another group of old white men doing what one used to do,” he said.
Critics on the republican side expressed concerns also.
Sean Hannity of Hannity’s America said that he was unsure America was ready for such a ground breaking move because it would be a chance for both white and black men to sit and lead the country at the same time.
“Monsanto’s company is made up of hun-dreds of employees and investors. More people will have a direct say in the government,” he said.
The government would be run directly by the Board of Directors, so cabinet posts would not be necessary; thus saving the American people millions in salaries.
The Board will be splitting the presidential salary, said Sanderson.
“The burden on the average American would actually be smaller,” she said.
This morning Wal-Mart announced it was also considering the idea of running on the Republican ticket with Walgreens as a potential Vice President, but was still working out the details, said Matthew Mars, Executive President of Wal-Mart.
“2020 promises to be an interesting election year,” he said.

As the prisoner cart creaks slowly through the stone-cobbled streets of Paris, I think back on all that has been stolen from me.
I was beautiful once; the queen of the most pow-erful country in the world. My king lost his head eight months ago.
My children were ripped from me and my oldest son tortured.
Even my dignity was stolen with a charge of incest. I have reached the square.
The metallic smell of blood is as thick as the crowd that cheers at my disgrace. I dismount my shameful carriage into a barrage of insults and rotten fruit.
They would love to see me hang my head in dis-honor but I will not. I will die as I was born, with my head held high.
As I ascend the platform, slick with the blood of traitors both real and imagined, I am almost relieved because I will soon join my beloved in eternity.
While they strap me to the National Razor, I smile and whisper softly, “Let them eat their own.”

Dubai officials have now proposed a $7 billion project to make the world’s first climate controlled community under a dome like covering, which will be a 50 million square foot community that will be sheltered from the harsh elements in the Arabian oasis, according to weburbanist.com.
This is the first concept of its kind that is actually being considered as a real project, and other countries could possibly take cue, as climate change is not going anywhere anytime soon, and is projected to get to the tipping point by 2020, according to huffingtonpost.com.
The massive structure will have 100 apartment buildings, dozens of hotels, medical facilities, a shopping mall, observation decks, the world’s tallest skyscraper and the world’s largest indoor amusement park; because that is how Dubai rolls, with epic and extravagant structures to show off to the rest of the world.
But what if there will come to a time when most large cities might require to have an area such as this for refuge from the ever-changing unpredictability that will come with the extreme weather of climate change, because it seems that the coming generations will have to do something in order to keep on surviving in the impending futuristic wasteland that is predicted to come.
Either way, this new idea for self-sufficient cities may become a huge power sucker, but could potentially save folks in the future from ever having to step foot outside in the elements again, and people could in fact start living under the dome, far from nature or the environment that is being destroyed in front of all our very own eyes.
At least there will be observation decks to watch the crumble of our environment in comfort of our climate con-trolled bubble, and never again will we have to care about the silly old environment that sustains the world and all our lives.
We all might be living in a bubble in the future
