Returns to North Fulton
The Clayton State University Department
of Campus Life’s Alternative Spring
Break Volunteer Program is an opportuni-
ty for Clayton State students to engage in
community-based service projects for one
week during the University’s designated
spring break vacation.
This spring, for Clayton State students
who want to take part in the Alternative
Spring Break, but who want to stay close
to home, the Department of Campus Life
is offering an opportunity to volunteer in
Savannah, Ga., with America’s Second
Harvest of Coastal Georgia. Like the pre-
viously-announced Alternative Spring
Break trip to the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation in South Dakota, the
Savannah trip will run from Sunday, Mar.

America’s Second Harvest Food Bank
serves as a warehouse and distribution
center of food and grocery products for
food pantries, homeless shelters, soup
kitchens, domestic abuse facilities, senior
centers and daycare centers for low-
income children through Savannah and
the Costal Georgia area. Projects for
Alternative Spring Break include sorting,
stocking and shelving of donated products
and some light clerical work in the organ-
izations
administrative
office.
Participants will also have the opportuni-
ty to experience the rich culture and histo-
ry of Georgia’s oldest city.
The total cost of the trip to Clayton State
students is $200, which includes trans-
portation, lodging, some meals and group
activities. A deposit of at least 25 percent
($50) is requested to secure your spot by
Monday, Feb. 13 with the balance payable
in installments. Additional information

Part of the University Bookstore Advisory
Council’s communication plan for the
2011-2012 academic year is to increase
awareness about what’s causing increases
in textbook prices, and what The Loch
Shop is doing to help control these costs.
It's also about collaborative efforts, and
working together with students and facul-
ty. And, it's about a lot of things neither
The Loch Shop nor Auxiliary Services has
any control over… notably, publishers'
practices in the textbook market.
The Advisory Council includes faculty,
staff, and students, and is chaired by Dr.
Randall Gooden. The current communica-
tions campaign is about doing as much as
possible with matters The Loch Shop can
control. In that regard, the Advisory
Council has created a booklet with an
