Jungle Business: Fifteen JSC Students to Travel to the Amazon

By Calista Tarnauskas

Assistant Professor of Business and Economics Henrique Cezar and Chairman of the Business and Economics Department Jim Black will be leading a group of 15 JSC students to Brazil between May 18 and June 2 of this year. The trip is being offered as a three-credit course designed for business and HTM (Hospitality and Tourism Management) students and has personal relevance to Cezar, who was born and raised in the south of the country.

Sex Positions for

the Self-Conscious

“Skeletons aren’t sexy,” says Matthew Spaulding, 20. “I don’t like to be able to count exactly how many ribs a woman has, or anything like that. I mean, every guy is going to check out what they call the stereotypically ‘beautiful girl’ who’s skinny and everything, but when it comes right down to it, most guys I know wouldn’t want to date them because they feel that they’re too skinny and that it’s not realistic and most people are going to look at fuller sized girls and say, ‘you know, that’s a beautiful woman right there’.”
