4 Student Life ■“I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire Club Watch: Anime Club Sara Messina First off, yes, there is an anime club, and no, they don’t spend all their time watching Pok6mon. The Anime Club combines a general interest with community connections. Members watch anime, but it serves to make learning about sub-categories easier and more interesting. Watching anime helps members pick up Japanese language, customs, and general cultural points without having to do much study. This comes in handy if you are studying anything particular for interest, like television production styles, or just want to look into Japan for a little heads up before taking up a Kai Dai invitation. Anime Club is well organized, so jumping in isn’t hard to do at all and all you have to do is come to an event or a meeting. Events range from fundraisers to parties, and it’s all up to the members what the club can and will do. The anime club watches anime (or Japanese movies or anime music videos on occasion) on Fridays in Morgan Jones room 109 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. In order to keep all the club business out of the fun, anime club has business meetings in the library lounge on the first floor from 7:30 p.m. until we decide to leave. Most of the anime watched are fan translations done by anime fans. They are usually native Japanese speakers with a good command of English, so the ‘fan subs’ have better translations than some professional English ones. There are some exceptions to this rule, but you should generally come prepared to read subtitles. If this is hard at first: no worries! It gets easier with time, and there are a few veteran members who can help you out. If you’re interested you can join the anime club page on facebook. com, stop by a meeting or call ext. 5540 for more information. matta Anime Club members join together after a meeting.

Do you see people stirring big pots? When my Operations Management class went to the Campbell’s Soup Factory that was one of my first thoughts when I walked in. But when I actually set foot into the factory that was not the case at all. To my surprise everything was computerized, that’s including the washing and cutting of the vegetables. One machine was programmed to cut each vegetable into a certain size then for the chicken noodle soup there was a machine that counted the noodles into each can to make sure there was an exact amount in each can. So, if everything is computerized then how do they make sure that the soups don’t get messed up? Well, if you look on the bottom of the cans there is a code that each kind of soup has and a date of when it was made. I bet you’re wondering what exactly the workers do, right? The workers make sure each machine is doing its job. Each machine has a computer touchpad to what step the worker wants it to do; for example there is a person stationed at the vegetable cutting machine and she pushes a button to what vegetable she wants cut for a particular soup. There are different stations for each brand of soup such as chicken noodle and tomato soup etc... There is also a station for their new microwavable soup bowls. When we were there, it wasn’t in action but they did tell us how it worked. There is a conveyor belt that has each soup bowl and then upstairs there is a control room to where a person controls what type of soup is being “made.” There were big oven like things and that is where they cook all the meat for the chicken or the beef, they were usually cooked for about two hours before it goes into a can. The whole experience was very educational and interesting. I forgot the exact amoimt of how many cans were made each minute but I think it’s over a thousand cans a minute. Pretty amazing huh!! Technology sure has come a long way since the begirming of when Campbell’s first started. The interesting thing about the whole experience is how a factory was managed and how it operated. Wm\ M'm! Good! starts HERE (As part of their class experience, the St. Andrews Operations Management Class recently toured the Campbell Soup factory observing day-to-day operations and learning about business management techniques.
