Week 5 — Jillian Atelsek


Ryan Romano, editor in chief of The Diamondback — the University of Maryland's independent student newspaper — reads over a review of a local play before publishing it on Monday, March 4, 2019. Romano makes it a point to keep the newsroom stocked with snacks for his employees — bananas and gummy bears being some of his favorites.


Festus Flumo, who has worked at the Maryland Food Co-Op for more than seven years, prepares falafel on Wednesday, March 6, 2019. He said it's one of the restaurant's most popular dishes.


Connor Meyers and Zachary John enjoy a break behind the Co-Op's cash register. Employees of the Co-Op are called "worker-owners," and the space is filled with Marxist signs and art.


David, who recently started volunteering to help wash dishes at the Co-Op, said he wants to become a war correspondent one day — though he doesn't have any journalism experience.


Catherine Oberfield, a junior psychology major and worker-owner at the Co-Op, prepares a wrap for a customer. All employees must tie their hair back and wear a hat in the kitchen — and Oberfield wears her pterodactyl hat every day.


The Co-Op is crowded with shelved overflowing with magazines, books and pamphlets, many of which advocate for veganism. The restaurant's menu has a host of vegan and vegetarian options, like falafel, tempeh and seitan. 


Darren Parry chops jalapenos on Wednesday, March 6, 2019. He started volunteering at the Co-Op last semester, but became a full-time worker-owner last month.



Co-Op worker owners prepare food before the daily lunch rush on Wednesday, March 6, 2019.

In the Catholic Church, Easter is the most important day of the year. The day celebrates the rise of Jesus Christ to life after enduring crucifixion on Good Friday to pay for the sins of humanity. Many parishes undergo days of preparation for this event. At the Catholic Community of St. Francis Xavier (CCSFX) in Hunt Valley, MD, volunteers spend days preparing the church for the Easter Sunday Masses. The baptismal font at the front of the church is adorned with flowers to remind Catholics of the washing away of sins that also occurs at baptism. In the Catholic Church, parents choose baptism for their children and it is a sacrament typically performed during infancy. As is proclaimed by the banner, Jesus Christ rises on Easter Sunday. This event is considered proof that God will triumph over Satan, that good will always overcome evil. Easter is a central holiday to Catholics, as is seen in the crucifix affixed to the wall behind the alter. A team of volunteers spent da...
