OSPREYS DELIGHTED BY ABRACADABRA:

A NIGHT OF MAGIC

Mariella NegroFOR THE ARGO This weekend, Stockton Uni-versity held its annual University Weekend; celebrating the lives of alumni, families and more. Many ar-rived at the Galloway campus to par-ticipate in the festivities held there. Over 60 Stockton students along with family members attended the Magic Show hosted by the Stock-ton Entertainment Team (SET) at the Sports Center this past Friday. Be-tween laughs and the curious creaks of people sitting on the edge of their seats, Jason Michaels bewildered all the attendees with his creative show. The event was open to all Stockton students, faculty and fam-ily members. Michaels, also known as The Card Shark, wasn’t afraid to break the ice between himself and the crowd. He invited multiple people of different ages on stage to assist him with some of his tricks. “I started doing magic when I was about thirteen,” said Michaels. “I walked into a magic shop and the man at the counter told me about a magic show that evening and from there on I was hooked.” Students were rolling in their seats as Michaels went on with his performance. “I really liked it,” said Dayane Santos, a student attendee. She and her boyfriend did not expect to enjoy the evening so much. “My favorite trick was where he made the table float, I can’t figure out how he did it.” Jason Michaels, who has ap-peared on ABC, Fox, NBC and more, was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syn-drome at the age of six. Throughout the years, he overcame his disease and became a successful performer, writ-er, and motivational speaker. He has also performed for the Armed Forces and many other celebrities across the country.

Come one, come all to the Stockton Horror Society’s “Metal Monster Mash” rock concert this Saturday, October 20! It’s going to be a graveyard smash! The “Metal Monster Mash” will be the Horror Soci-ety’s first major event, as the club has only existed for two whole se-mesters. The MMM will be held in the Campus Center Event Room from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., and will be open to the public (although the event is 18+ only). For an ad-mission price of $5.00, attendees will get to see six bands--most of which are signed to record labels--perform: Another Day’s Armor, Renegades, I Hate Heroes, The Artisan, Inventure, and Endless Sacrifice. Each band will play a 30 minute set. Attendees will also get to

eat tons of food and experience lots of Halloween fun. The So-ciety ensures that this event will be something Stockton Univer-sity has never seen before. “The Metal Monster Mash is going to be pretty big,” said Horror Soci-ety President Andrew Anderson. “We’re pulling all the stops on this one. Not only do we want to get our club’s name out there, but we also want to provide a fun event that people can come to that sup-ports a great local organization.” The local organization that will receive all proceeds of this event is the Pleasantville East-ern Service Workers Association (ESWA). ESWA is a non-govern-ment funded organization dedicat-ed to helping impoverished and/or struggling individuals and fami-lies. ESWA also works to combat unjust government policies and unite workers. Tickets to the Metal Mon-

ster Mash can be bought at Stock-ton’s information desk. There will be tickets at the door, but this event is expected to sell out, so the Society urges that anyone inter-ested in attending purchase their tickets as soon as possible. Any-one with any questions regarding ticketing or the event in general can reach out to PR consultant/social media manager/event coor-dinator Kat H. Wentzell at [email protected]. This concert will surely be one for the books, and any-one that wants to come get their groove on is more than welcome to do so. “Come out and get wild for charity!” said Wentzell. “Just no moshing, though. Stockton PD has already made that clear. You can whip, nae-nae, or do a few splits, though, if you want. We don’t judge.”

TOWN HALL 2.0: STuDENTS GATHER TO VOICE CONCERNS

ABOuT CAMPuS LIFERaghu JhalaFOR THE ARGO

Stockton University came together on October 2, 2018, 4:30 pm, in the Campus Center meeting room for Town Hall 2.0 to discuss ongoing conflicts throughout the institution. Stu-dent Senate organized the meet-ing for students to “have a seat at the table” and to have open dialogue with the administra-tion and faculty members of the University. Town Hall 2.0 was an unapologetic moment by many students to convey their feelings about university and campus life. The atmosphere in the room was tense. The issues students brought forth were real and consequential, includ-ing concerns around Greek life, safety of students, recent sexual

assault allegations and race and discrimination. The microphone was open for anyone that had the courage to bring their issues to light. The mediators called on students one by one so they had a chance for their voice to be heard. Multiple female students brought up concerns of past and present Greek, particularly unaffiliated fraternities having a strong influence in the student community at Stockton. The concerns were authentically expressed and somehow the ad-ministration sneaked in laughs as they answered. There were assurances that to the best of their ability, safety and protocol were present. The concerns were seemingly downplayed by the faculty. The meeting moved to sexual assault allegations be-

ing made by students asking how the administration had done nothing to provide for students’ well being. The administrators countered their concerns, asking why leaders and Student Senators know the options to help guide students and have not used these methods of communication. One of the counters expressed was why were the situations like the ones being brought to them now not reported sooner, especially if the facts were known for an extended period of time? It was clear that building this bridge to communication was a difficult task. Emotions were running high as one of the students at the microphone adamantly held her ground and demanded answers or action to be taken immediately against an

Diane D’AmicoFOR THE ARGO

Stockton University is now accepting ap-plications for a new Master of Arts in Counsel-ing program that will begin in September 2019. The 60-credit two-year program includes a 100-hour practicum and a 600-hour internship, including 120 hours of direct client contact and 180 hours of indirect client services. Classes will be held at Stockton’s Kram-er Hall, 320 Front St. in Hammonton, and some courses may be offered as hybrid classes with both online and in-class components. Graduates of the program will be quali-fied to take the National Counselor Exam (NCE), which is administered by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).

Graduates who have passed the NCE will also be qualified to apply for licensure in the State of New Jersey as a Licensed Profes-sional Counselor (LPC) after an additional 4,500 hours of supervised experience. This license al-lows them to work as counselors in non-profit organizations, for profit organizations, or in pri-vate practice in New Jersey. Graduates will also be eligible to apply for a specialty designation in any of the following: clinical mental health, addictions, career, school counselor or

gerontology. C o u r s e s will educate stu-dents about the best practices in mental health and human services and train students to work in a va-riety of settings, including hospi-tals, social service agencies and resi-dential treatment centers. Gradu-ates will be pre-pared to enter the workforce in en-try-level positions in counseling and social services. Applicants must have prereq-uisite skills and knowledge in statistics and ex-perimental psychology and have taken at least one course in either child development or per-sonality psychology and earned a grade of B or better. A minimum GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scales is required. The deadline for applications for the fall 2019 semester is Feb. 1, 2019.

individual employee of Stockton University. The room responded by erupting in claps and comments as the beginning civility in the room started to become nonexistent. The mediators stepped in to give another student a chance to speak before the situation escalated further. Discrimination of minori-ties at Stockton was another topic brought forth to the administra-tion. Chioma C. Uka, President of the African Student Organization, Co-Founder of the Multicultural Community Council, and a member of the Student Senate, spoke about past incidents involving students of color. Uka expressed that students of color on campus felt silenced, ne-glected or unsupported when trying to engage with the faculty. Pointing out that when attempts were made to bring this to the attention of the administration, racism was often dismissed as too controversial of a topic. Uka asked that there be man-datory diversity training for faculty to be effective in fighting against

this repeated offense. “My concerns were not addressed because the Director of Diversity [Valerie Hayes, Chief Of-ficer for Institutional Diversity and Equity] was not present at Town Hall 2.0. However, I hope that this will be a wake up call for adminis-trators to hear the concerns and act accordingly,” said Uka. Uka also stated that only time will tell if the administration of the University are truly looking to protect the students. “Talk is easy, action is what I’m looking for. I’m willing to work with administrators in any way I can to bring this initiative to fruition as soon as possible.” Stephen Davis, Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students for Inclusion and Wellness seemed more optimistic when asked about the open exchange of dialogue between students and administra-tors. “I think it is because we need to be able to let students talk. Students really

need to hear what it is were doing. I can’t get into how folks may be interpreting it, but for the students, their voices, why were here at Stockton, but its how Stockton has moved forward.” When asked if he felt at-tacked, he insisted he did not feel that way. Davis was encouraging and implored students to continually voice their concerns in hopes that all could progress together.

TENSION IN TOWN HALL 2.0Kayla CastelliFOR THE ARGO

On Tuesday, Oct. 2, students, faculty, and advisors attended the Townhall 2.0 meeting in Stockton University’s event room to address all concerns regarding campus safety, sexual as-sault, and more. Prior to the event, student senator and member of the academic affairs committee, Meghan Casper, hosted the Women’s Gender and Sexuality Center fundraiser. She handed out buttons to support victims of sexual assault. She believes the goal of this meeting is for “stu-dents who were not happy with the first town hall to get some input and feel like their voices are heard.” One major concern that was discussed was the inconsistency of reporting sexual assault and informing the students about it. Stockton’s

advisors stress the importance of “these things be[ing] reported to the appropriate authorities.” However, students argue that some people are un-comfortable self-reporting. One student speaker addressed the “dissatisfaction with students who are reporting but nothing is being done,” which discourages people to report the assault in the first place. In response to this, the advisors admit that they “rely on students reporting things.” Another concern that goes hand-in-hand with this is the failure of easy access to information about reporting sexual assault. One student expressed how the information is out there but the way the students are getting it is not working. She suggests a “better way to put that information out there” is by putting all num-bers and hotlines on students’ IDs since there are currently many different numbers to contact on different websites. Along with informing students on ac-

cessing the information to report the crime itself, some students believe they should be more in-formed about the unrecognized Greek organiza-tions performing unlawful sexual acts in gener-al- some of which have been unrecognized since 2010 and still committing crimes. One student mentioned she knew little information about why Pi Kap is unaffiliated with the school until she started seeing articles. Joseph Thompson, Assistant Director of Student Development, agrees that there should be other ways to inform the student body of sexual assault cases at the university. Although he explains the school continues to update their website and send emails throughout the semes-ter, he states, “I think we need to find other ways as to how we can really inform the student body to stay away from those guys,” but fails to in-clude what these methods will be. Still, advisors See TENSION pg. 5

Blood flowing through his veins, head pound-ing, and thoughts swirling. The deep drop inches from his feet was so tempting, and so scary. Dark depressing clouds hovered over his head dur-ing the journey to the Golden Gate bridge with tears falling down his face and people passing by without slipping a single word to him. One ques-tion. This was all Kevin Hines needed to stay afloat from the depths of depression according to Nathan Morell, assistant director of counseling services. Hines’s last thought was that the deci-sion was one thing- a mistake. From Oct. 1 to Oct. 6 at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Stockton’s Active Minds organization worked to prevent occasions like Kevin’s through Suicide Prevention Screenings and guest speakers like David Romano. The screenings give students

a way to detect symptoms of depression and anxiety early and offer an open ear, while also providing free counseling services. Members of Active Minds handed out free-giveaways and of-fered up the chance to pet campus service dogs. Additionally, on Wednesday, Oct. 3, Da-vid Roman, a professional mental health speaker for Active Minds, talked to students about his story and emphasized the organization’s slogan: “It’s okay not to be okay.” This was the common trend throughout his story of struggle. Accord-ing to Romano, it’s a condition where “once you start taking medication, you don’t just beat it just like that, you must learn to balance it and man-age it” around your life. People need to know the difference be-tween mental health and mental illness. If a per-son’s mental health is not cared for, this can lead to mental illness which makes the issue danger-ous because of two aspects. The first is the lack of urgency to this spreading trend, and the sec-ond is the well-known stigma of shame and em-barrassment around mental illnesses. Although changes are underway as this is being written, it’s essential for this to continue for any improvement to be seen. Everyone is hu-man, and everyone has mental health according to Julie Coker. This is what people need to talk about more, despite how uncomfortable it may be. According to Morell, who has lived through depression and anxiety himself, “the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the

same.” Sometimes it does not even have to go as far as V.A.R (Validate, Affirm, and Refer,) but a simple question such as “Are you okay?” or “How are you feeling?” It’s these three or four words that can keep an individual alive, yet so many people forget to ask and get washed away by their own lives. This is a dire issue that is calling for at-tention not by authority, but by you, the students! Students are the ones suffering and it must be students who begin the wheel of change. It is time to be an active advocate in creating a com-munity of compassion where it’s needed most.

MEET THE STOCKTON HORROR SOCIETYKat H. WentzellSTAFF WRITER

A product of four friends’ collective in-fatuation with all things creepy and crawly, the Stockton Horror Society is a campus organization dedicated to providing a place where students can meet to satiate their similar obses-sions with the horror genre through film, TV, art, music, literature, man-ga, and any other outlet of interest. The Society is fairly new at Stockton, now going on its third se-mester of activity. The club is ran by a killer E-Board of horror aficiona-dos: President and Co-Founder An-drew Anderson, Vice President and Co-Founder Jonathan Wallentine, PR Consultant/Social Media Man-ager and Co-Founder Kat Wentzell, Secretary Mike Grana, and Treasurer Yahely Diaz. Every Tuesday, in almost Hitchcockian fashion, the Society flocks to room C136 at 6 p.m. Meetings generally run until 8 p.m. “Our meetings are so much fun,” said Wentzell. “One night, we’ll watch a terrible 80s B-movie, and then another night, we’ll play horror trivia for prizes. Every meeting we do something new and exciting.” The club currently has over 100 regis-tered members, and has hosted so many interac-tive campus events that Jigsaw himself would be jealous. In the spirit of the season, the Horror So-

ciety also has numerous events planned for this semester. On Oct. 20, in the Campus Center Event Room, the Society will host its first-ever charity

rock show, ghoulishly titled the “Metal Monster Mash.” The concert will run from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., and all proceeds will go to the Pleasantville Eastern Service Workers Association (ESWA), a local non-government funded organization that assists impoverished and/or struggling individu-als and families. There will be finger foods and nonalcoholic beverages served (no boos allowed on campus!), and the admission price is $5. This event is open to the public. Tickets can be bought at Stockton’s front desk or at the show itself, but

only individuals 18 and older will be allowed in. Costumes are not required for admission, but are strongly encouraged! On Oct. 23, the Society will be hosting

another ‘spooktacular’ event: a pre-sentation by popular South Jersey ghost hunter and President of the NJ Ghost Hunters Society L’Aura Hla-dik Hoffman. She will also be do-ing a Q&A, as well as signing copies of her books. The event will be held in room L112 from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. The event is free and open to Stockton students can attend. “Come out and ask her all of your questions about ghosts!” said Wallentine. The Society will also be co-host-ing a few events this semester. On Oct. 24, the Stockton Horror Society and the Stockton Gaming Club will present “Monster Smash,” at Lake-side Lodge from 8 p.m. until mid-night. The event that will include

video and board game tournaments, as well as a costume contest for prizes. The admission price for this event will be $5, and all proceeds will go to the “‘Ween Dream” charity, a nonprofit orga-nization that gives free Halloween costumes to children in need across America. After Halloween, the Society has no plans to slow down. A “Board Game Night” is set for 6 p.m. Nov. 27 in the C/D Atrium. “The game night is going to be a blast; they always are,” said Anderson. “We have so many fun things coming up that we’re heavily advertising.

Stockton’s welcome week was held Fri-day, August 31 through Tuesday, September 4. It welcomed new students to the University for the fall semester of 2018-2019. This mandatory event took place on main campus in Galloway, NJ. Many freshman and parents attended. Welcome week conducted a series of events, infor-mational lectures, and even a few games for the incoming freshman class. This event targeted freshman students with no previous college experi-ence and transfer stu-dents. As the day went on you could feel the excite-ment. Newly graduated high school seniors were filled with enthusiasm as welcome week helped them transition into a college lifestyle. There you could meet with faculty members, look up or make changes to your class schedule, and it also gave students an op-portunity to meet future classmates and make new friends. Although this event allowed all students to participate, it was aimed mostly at the freshman crowd. It was a five day event but

one day was dedicated to students that were twenty-five years and older. The last day of welcome week focused on the transfers who were seemingly older than your average college student. The “twenty-five years and older club” is what many of the par-ticipants had named it. A few members of the club that attended every day of welcome week

found that the atmosphere was much more relaxed then the other days. Melanie Dolin, of Northfield NJ found it less exciting and more informational. Dolin, a Health Science major, and also a commuter, was among many of her peers who was waiting patiently for the day to end. When asked how she planned on spending her time on

campus and whether she would she be getting involved with any groups, she answered, smil-ing,” I plan on attending class and going home. I don’t have time to get involved because I have a very busy home life. When asked how she felt as an older transfer student Melanie stated “I am nervous, but I am also ready because I have been to

many schools and I hope I find a home here.” When asked to describe the difference between the first few days of wel-come week compared to the ‘twenty-five years and older day’, (which was initiation only), she explained that “The last day was much shorter, and the atmosphere felt much more mature, but I felt like being an older student and attending the first two days the fresh-

man crowd was more alive than this crowd.” When asked if she felt that choosing Stockton was a good decision she expressed that “It feels right.” Welcome week at Stockton achieved its goal in introducing a new chapter in many of its new population’s lives. As far as students staying and coming back next year we have yet to see.

mention that Stockton University is a very safe campus and one of the safest in the region. They explain that campus safety consists of au-

thorized personnel, surveillance system, and alarm systems, but students are encouraged to say something if they see anything. One member of the student body argued that the students have done enough and it’s time for the administration to take over. Other stu-dents in the meeting clapped in agreement to that response. The advisors also informed the people attending the meeting that there were three new police officers hired the previous day. However, when news came about that a par-ticular employee at Stockton University’s Atlantic City campus was a former mem-ber of an unrecognized fraternity, a student announced that it made her “question [her] safety as a student and your [Stockton’s hir-ing department] discretion” to hire people. Instead of describing their hiring process, the advisors suggested a private meeting when the event was over. Stockton’s police are in the process of “promoting a sense of trust”

between authority and the students because “that is a goal [to be part of the community].”

GLOBE HEADS CHALLENGED


Trent ClinkscaleFOR THE ARGO

Stockton Men’s basketball is preparing for yet another winter season. The Ospreys fin-ished with a respectable 15-10 last season during the very competitive East-ern College Athletic Con-ference, and are looking to build on that performance. Head coach Scott Bittner will be looking to take the program back to the heights that former coach Gerry Matthews had left it at in the 2000’s and early 2010’s, when the team was often ranked nationally and even reached the Division III Final Four in 2009. The team begins of-ficial practice in the com-ing weeks but as one might guess the players have been working out and drill-ing throughout the offseason. There have been several departures of graduating seniors from last year’s squad, including the team’s second and third leading scor-ers Zavon Johnson and Marcus Harmon. How-ever, there are also key returning players looking to step up their contributions and lead the team this season. One of the biggest contributors is perhaps senior guard Kashaun Barnes, who was the team’s leading scorer last year averaging 18

points a game as a junior. Barnes could very well have an even bigger year as a senior and it will only be good for the Ospreys if he can. Another interesting key returning player is junior Steven Ferebee. Ferebee averaged 10.7 points as a sophomore and was crucial in other

areas, leading the team in rebounds. “Practice starts in a couple weeks and I just can’t wait to get out and play again,” the 6’5 Gallo-way Township native said about the approaching season. When asked about his offseason, he

smiled and said, “I’ve been grinding all summer and I’m definitely a better player than I was last year.” He also spoke on how as an upperclass-man with his experience he now feels he holds more responsibility as one of the leaders of the team. “Coach is going to expect me to be more

of a leader this year and I’m ready to be vocal and make sure the younger guys are good and know what we need to do to be successful.” Winter is coming and fans all over know that with it comes bas-ketball. The Stockton Men’s squad is getting ready and the school will be behind them in full support. Sophomore student Jor-dan Davis expressed his excitement for the upcoming season, “I’m definitely going to go catch some games when

I can this season when I can. I just transferred from Rider and I heard that Stockton is usually pretty good, so I’ll

check them out.” Stockton will be no doubt be hoping to not only live up to this reputation but surpass ex-pectations and surprise some people this season.

HOOPS THERE IT IS!: THE STOCKTON QuIDDITCH TEAMTrisha QuanSTAFF WRITER

No longer just a fictional sport in the popular “Harry Potter” books and movies, it has become a real international sport. Stockton Uni-versity has its very own Quidditch team! The Quidditch team started out as an of-ficial club-sport roughly four years ago. Prior to the club being recognized, the team was known as The Nargles. The founder was Rebecca Re-vay, a Stockton Alumni. The Quidditch team is made up of about 12 members, each playing different roles in the games. Of those members, five are on the E-board that makes executive decisions on tour-naments and things pertaining to the club-sport. Tara Luke, a Stockton professor, is the coach of the team. There are Keepers, Beaters, Seekers, Chasers, and an outside person as a human Snitch. There are also three hoops on opposite ends of the field in which teams throw the quaf-fle in to score. The quaffle looks like a slight-ly deflated volleyball, while the bludger looks like a slightly deflated dodgeball. Each quaffle through a hoop is equivalent to 10 points. The Keepers are equivalent to goalies; they protect the hoops and can put their hands through the hoops to block. There is only one Keeper on the field for each team during a game. They wear green headbands to differentiate from the Chasers.

The Chasers’ job is to score with the quaffle through the hoops. There are usually three Chasers that work together to score. They wear white headbands. Chasers and Keepers are the only ones allowed to touch the quaffle. The Beaters are the only ones allowed to touch the bludgers. They throw the bludgers at opponents, and if it hits, the opponents must immediately drop the quaffle or bludger (de-pending on their position.) They wear blackhead bands. Seekers wear yellow headbands and aim to catch the Snitch. The Snitch is a person (usu-ally from a team not playing) that wears official Snitch shorts. They are yellow with a detachable ball hanging off the back with velcro. “It’s so unique and is as much of a sport as any other,” said Alexandria Raffa, a 22-year-old Psychology major at Stockton. “It’s also rough.” Alexandria, also known as Lexi, is cur-rently the Chaser captain on the Quidditch team. She joined the team in 2016, only two years after the club-sport became official. The Stockton Quidditch team meets Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays on the field behind the Freshman dorms. They meet from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for practices. “We’re constantly looking for new members to join,” says Trisha Quan, a 21-year-old Public Relations major and Vice President to the club. “It’s honestly one of the best ways to workout without feeling like you’re working

out.” The Quidditch team holds two tourna-ments at the Intramural Fields every year. Dur-ing the spring, the Party in the Pines tournament is held, usually sometime in April. During the Fall, the Pumpkin Spice tournament is held in November. This semester, Pumpkin Spice will be on Nov. 17, the week before Thanksgiving break. “We’re always happy when people show up to help cheer us on,” says Raffa. “We wel-come everyone to either come join or watch us! You don’t need to be athletic to play.” Stockton Quidditch welcomes students and those interested to follow their Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. They can be found by searching Stockton Quidditch on all of the listed social media platforms. Students interested can also email the team at Stockton.University.

CURRENT NEWS AND EVENTS“FEELING SWELL”

Celine KamaliehSTAFF WRITER

A couple weeks ago I found myself at the annual Chowder Fest in Long Branch New Jersey, while walking through the stands I came across an organiza-tion that caught my eye. Two young men sat behind a table surrounded by apparel bearing the logo “Feeling Swell”. Upon striking up a conversa-tion with them I soon found out that the brand actually represented a much bigger cause than your normal “surf-er gear”. The brand was designed to create charitable revenue by uniting local leaders around values of opti-mism, generosity, and compassion. The brand was designed to encour-age locally-driven philanthropy to support community members living with depression. Upon later research I found that one of these young men happened to be one of the major contributors of the organization, Dan Przygocki. He is a long-time artist and photographer who became a ma-jor benefactor to the founders, the Barr brothers.

The origin of this charitable organization stems from a tragic story that produced the op-portunity and the resulting drive for the creation of “Feeling Swell”. A Point Pleasant Beach na-

tive, and good friend of the Barr Brothers, was struck by a drunk driver on her way home from a

party. This devastating accident left Caitlin Pirl with serious brain damage and the left side of her body totally paralyzed. Not long after the acci-dent tragedy struck again, Hurricane Sandy left

the Pirl family’s home severely dam-aged. Being yet another one of the many New Jersey families whose life was turned upside down by the storm. The Barr Brothers took this as an op-portunity to bring sunshine back into the Pirls’ lives, raising money in their community to help pay for Caitlin’s medical bills and repair damages to the family’s home. Soon the duo real-ized that they could make a change in lives of others and with the help of people like Dan Przygocki started their charitable organization “Feeling Swell”. If you would like to support their cause and help aid people suf-fering from depression I implore you to take a couple minutes and check out their stellar inventory of merch.

And remember that you too can make a differ-ence in the lives of others, even in the smallest of ways.

On Saturday, October 6, Randi Lyn Hornyak and Samantha Hutnick jumped into a 1979 Trans Am and waved to the crowds of people from the back. Over two thousand people lined the streets of Ogdensburg, Nj where the Sus-sex County Fireman’s Parade was being held this year in conjunction with the Og-densburg Fire Departments 100th year anniversary celebration. The girls are currently sopho-mores at Stockton University and previ-ous queens of Ogdensburg annual “Miss Ogdensburg” pageant. The parade was made up of forty-eight different fire de-partments, multiple marching bands in-cluding the award winning Franklin Band and Jefferson High School’s Marching Band, Boy and Girl Scout groups, Wom-en’s Auxilerist Groups, Jr. Firemen and Women, Smokey the Bear, and twenty-one Queens of Ogdensburg including Miss Ogdensburg 2016 (Samantha Hut-nick) and Miss Ogdensburg 2017 (Randi Lyn Hornyak). Samantha stated, “I really loved being a part of the parade! I am honored to be a part of the town’s history and to have been a part of this event! It was an amazing opportunity to meet previous queens of Ogdensburg and represent my town and Stockton. ” Randi Lyn was excited about the parade because, “All my family members played a role in the parade! My mom and sister helped with the planning and set up,

my grandfather was recognized for being a WWII Veteran, my brother marched as he is an Ogdensburg Fireman, and my dad drove his 1979 Trans Am as Sam and I waved from the back seat!” She also said that, “ having the opportunity to represent my school and hometown always means so much to me as I am so proud of both of them.” Also joining in the festivities were the Ogdensburg Mayor and council, Senator Steve Oroho, House of Representatives Josh Gottheimer, and Candidate for Sen-ate Bob Hugin. The parade route stretched two miles long and was enjoyed by all. Chil-dren ran alongside the shining trucks and collected candy being thrown by the marchers. During the parade, judges were studying the different departments for awards later that night, and all the coun-cilmen and women, representatives, and queens watched from the viewing stand after arriving in antique cars. Afterwards, the annual hose lay-ing competition started and different de-partments battled each other for the grand prize. At the end of the night, awards were given out to the different depart-ments who placed the highest in each cat-egory. When asking his opinion of how the celebration went, Ogdensburg Fire Chief Rick Keslo said, “I think it was a fantastic day. The weather was nice, the volunteers were great, and good luck to all the participants and thank you for coming out!”

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENTOLD TIME WRESTLING “FALL SLAM” AT STOCKTON: A REVIEW

Michael HeilmanSTAFF WRITER

Old Time Wrestling made its return to Stockton University on Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018, for the annual Fall Slam at Stockton University Sports Center. This is the second time this year that Old Time Wrestling performed at Stockton University. The first show was held this past January at the Campus Events Center. The Stu-dent Veterans Organization welcomed the audi-ence to the show before the event began. Here are the results of the show:- otW heavyweight Championship Match: Adam Chandler the Great defeated “The Mean-est in the Game” Justin Pusser to retain the OTW

championship- otW Classic Championship Battle Royal Match: Wesley Andrews was crowned the new

champion with help from Patrick Richard Ream. After the match, OTW President Jim Molineaux booked a title defense match between Andrews and the runner-up of the battle royal, Ty Thomas. Ty Thomas would go on to defeat Wesley Andrews to win the OTW Classic championship- Nikos Rikos and Delroy Alexander defeat-ed The Beach Bums- “The Natural” Eddie Hawkins (with Pat-rick Richard Ream) defeated Stockton’s Nate Mustang

- “The Marvelous” Miss Jasmine defeated Dam-aris- #1 Contender’s Match: Ike Phillips and for-mer WWE wrestler and Atlantic City’s Tank To-land defeated Elia Boratz and “The Dagger” Mik Drake to win a future title shot for the OTW Tag Team Championship Overall, the show was outstanding. One of the best aspects about it was the interaction be-tween the wrestlers and the fans. The wrestlers were high fiving the crowd around the arena, and fans were interacting with their cheers and boos. Wrestlers performed some moves that the fans were encouraging them to do. The interaction between the performers and fans is something

you do not see in the big wrestling leagues too often. Personally, after having attended many wrestling events, I believe this event had tal-ented, athletic performers that packed the show with amazing stunts. Going to an independent wrestling show is a unique experience because the wrestlers are trying to make a name for them-selves. Some are early in their careers, and some have wrestled in the big leagues and are return-ing to their roots. Some of these wrestlers will likely go on to wrestle in the big leagues like ROH, WWE, NJPW, to name a few. So, I feel fortunate to have been able to see them perform. The only downfall was that there were plenty of empty seats throughout the arena; so many people missed a good show. Stock-ton University could have done a better job at promoting this event because wrestling is still popular and there are a ton wrestling fans that probably didn’t know about the event. It would have been nice to see a drawing for free tickets or a giveaway of t-shirts. If the University did heavily promote this event, there would’ve been more people at the show. Again, congratulations and thank you to the Student Veterans Organization, Old Time Wrestling, and the wrestlers for putting on an ex-citing show.

Kat H. WentzellSTAFF WRITER. have no fear, little one. i am here to protect thee. “The Omen” is another supernatural cult classic, and this one is from 1976. “The Omen” is a hair-raising thriller about a little boy that is much, much more than he appears. Grego-ry Peck--best known for his Academy award-winning portrayal of Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird”--plays the boy’s father and American diplomat, Robert Thorn, and award-winning actress Lee Remick plays his mother, Katherine Thorn. The film begins in a hospital in Rome, where Katherine is having a baby boy. Sub-sequently, Robert is pulled aside by a hospital chaplain and told that the baby did not survive childbirth. Robert is heartbroken, but the chap-lain offers a solution: Robert can adopt an or-phan boy whose mother had just died giving birth to him and never tell Katherine that he is not hers. Robert agrees to this, and he and Kath-erine name the child Damien. Later, Robert is appointed the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom. He and Katherine are completely overjoyed, but they are also completely unaware of the terrible things that are to come following this promotion. Pretty soon, Damien’s fifth birthday ar-rives, and the Thorns throw him a birthday party complete with a merry-go-round, balloons, and a great big cake with a bunch of candles. During the party, a rottweiler is seen watching from afar, uttering supernormal, guttural growls. After, the Thorn’s nanny is seen standing from the third floor of the family mansion with a noose around her neck. “Look at me, Damien!” she exclaims before leaping to her death. “It’s all for you!”

Within the next few days, a new nanny named Mrs. Baylock arrives to the Thorn house-hold uninvited, proclaiming that she is from “an agency” and is there to protect Damien follow-ing the incident. The Thorns are reluctant, but agree to let her look after their son. After, while in his office, Robert is told by a Catholic priest named Father Brennan that he must accept Jesus Christ as his savior or he will pay dire consequences. Brennan warns Robert that his son is something evil and must be stopped. Robert is appalled, and asks for the man to be removed from his office. Brennan returns later in the movie to beg for Robert’s compli-ance once again, but receives the same treatment from the Ambassador. “When the Jews return to Zion, and a comet rips the sky, and the Holy Roman Empire rises, then you [Robert] and I must die,” murmurs the priest. “From the eternal sea he rises, creating armies on either shore, turning man against his broth-er, ‘til man exists no more.” Slowly but surely, the priest’s words begin to reso-nate with Robert, and chaos ensues. Rob-ert soon befriends a photographer, and the two work together to resolve the problem with Damien. Unfor-tunately, by the end of the film, things are not

as they had been anticipated. Before the credits roll, a quote from Revelation 13:18 is shown: “Here is wisdom, let him that hath understand-ing, count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and his number is 666.” All in all, the movie is good, especially for its time. It is a little slow to start, and more of a thriller than a horror movie, but the acting is pretty good--particularly by Peck--and director Richard Donner does a wonderful job with sus-pense. Although it is not the scariest scary mov-ie, it is definitely one that horror buffs should watch at least once. 7.5/10.

In honor of one of our staff editors creating a benefit concert event from the ground up, I want to highlight on Stockton’s first ever ben-efit concert. It is fitting that the Argo would host the first charity concert on cam-pus in 1972, and now a staff member has coorindated a similar event. This weekend’s Metal Mon-ster Mash is hosted by the Stockton

ESWA is a non-government funded organization dedicated to helping impoverished and/or struggling individuals and families. ESWA also works to com-bat unjust government policies and unite workers.

MARIjuANA LEGALIzATION IS COMING TO NEW jERSEY: HERE’S HOW WE CAN ALL GET THE BEST OuT OF CANNABIS

Edward BankFOR THE ARGO

4:20, the American version of Queen Elizabeth’s afternoon tea. Though federally outlawed in the United States and recognized as a Schedule 1 narcotic, states and other na-tions have approved measures to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana; and later this October, New Jersey may join that group. On Oct. 1, 2018, when Governor Phil Murphy was asked about the status of legalizing recreational pot, he replied trying to get it done “sooner than later.” You might want to save the date because NJ.com reports Oct. 29, 2018 as the day NJ state legislatures have planned to vote on S-2702, the bill sponsored by Senators Nicholas Scutari (D-Union) and Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) that will legalize the possession and use of can-nabis across New Jersey. If passed, the Garden State will add a new herb to its plot. The details to S-2702 in-clude a 10 percent marijuana tax. Also, most states that already legalized weed only allow consumption on private property, but NJ could expand that by allowing cannabusinesses (a term to describes cannabis stores) with a mari-juana retail license to offer public consumption spaces on the same premises as the dispensary for people to “blaze it.” It’s like your grandfa-ther’s basement smoking lounge but without the John Wayne references. In addition, S-2702 permits a marijuana delivery service – yes like ShopRite from home but with pot. Just be care-ful your grandmother isn’t the one who signs the package off from UPS. Still, the legalization of marijuana is long overdue. The fading, yet ongo-ing “war on drugs” campaign of the Nixon and Reagan administrations instilled fear and para-

noia that cannabis is an evil gateway to detri-mental life choices and a threat to public safety. This misconception led to mass incarceration of minorities, racist drug laws, and deprivation of opportunity for convicted users. The remarkable shift in public opinion favoring legalized weed legitimizes cannabusiness as a profitable market supplying a product in, literally, high demand. Though marijuana legalization in New Jersey could catapult the state’s economy into, also lit-erally, new highs, we must be cautious of a few disconcerting trends that have been common in states where pot is legal: that what is being sold on the market is not as organic as we think, that the market might head towards oligopoly, and social justice reform has been almost a failure.Full disclosure: This op-ed is far from opposing legalized weed. I have supported marijuana in-terest groups like the New Jersey Cannabusiness Association and I intern for the Anti-Poverty Network where legalizing marijuana is a part of our platform as a means for social justice in NJ. Recreational marijuana should unquestionably be legal in NJ, but the concerns previously men-tioned must be considered. It can be inferred that states legalizing cannabis are more so legalizing THC than they are natural hemp. Cannabis is composed of two main chemicals, CBD and THC. THC is what creates the high. However, organic weed is usu-ally no more than ten percent potent in THC. A study done in Colorado led by Andy LaFrate shows THC potency skyrocketing past 30 per-cent since legalization with CBD shrinking. Consumer demand is in THC, the high is what people want to buy. Suppliers meet consumer demands by manipulating hemp to contain more THC and less CBD. Though, CBD, the chemical you could infuse in a turkey and still won’t get

high, is highly significant. CBD has attracted the interest of medi-cal researchers in treating schizophrenia and Al-zheimer’s disease, but even though medical and recreational marijuana are viewed separate, po-tency in CBD and THC are similarly produced despite purpose. When THC content is increased, room for medical effectiveness is decreased. Regarding recreational consumers, though, the issue becomes how much weed is ideal to con-sume. Obviously, the higher the THC concentra-tion, the less pot needed to get high. Still, not all consumers can tell how much THC is in one dose or another. Though marijuana overdose is rare, too much of it because of unknown THC levels has led to an increase in emergency room visits according to Nora Volkow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. What’s needed in New Jersey is oversight on THC potency. Consumers should be aware how much pot is needed for the right high, and retailers also need to be aware of what they’re selling. As for retailers, problems in the market do not end with just the product. The market share in the recreational can-nabis economy can slip into oligarchy. Under S-2707, Governor Murphy is calling for a ten percent stake of the recreational marijuana mar-ket reserved for small businesses. This is a fine move to keep these businesses in mind, but Ben Cort, a Colorado based addiction consultant, presented a TEDTalk on marijuana commercial-ization where he exposes how the market shifted from concentration on small cannabusinesses to large corporations. He mentions groups like Arcview Investment and the Cannabis Industry Association as a couple major players in domi-nating the recreational weed industry. Execu-tives of these companies are primarily wealthy, white men with heavy lob-

Stockton should have table tennis as a sport because it is just like any other sport, it requires the same techniques as tennis, just it is a smaller playing area. Title IX is an Education Amendment Act that states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, beexcluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiv-ing Federal financial assistance.” This Act is one of the reasons why Stockton University does not have a table tennis team. Colleges must meet specific re-quirements in order to be in com-pliance with Title IX, one of them being: providing participation opportunities for women and men that are substantially proportionate to their respective rates of enroll-ment of full-time undergraduate students.The female to male ratio rate is 60 to 40 at Stockton University, so that rate has to be equivalent to the number of roster spaces in varsity sports, which is why there are 10 female sports and only 6 male sports. There are only a few select schools that have table ten-nis as an actual collegiate sport or a men’stennis team because of the Title IX rules. Many Stockton students play competi-tively in the campus center, and there is even a table tennis club team at Stockton, where a few matches are played per year, however not close to the amount of matches played at the colle-

giate level at other universities. Other universi-ties that also have table tennis clubs are Rutgers University and Princeton University and they compete even more than Stockton does. Stock-ton’s last recorded table tennis tournament was during the spring 2018 term where a girl named Oriel Hao won, and she plays outside of school as well. Gaining a table tennis team at Stockton would add a female and male sport to Stockton which I am sure is a whole lot easier to do. If Stockton had a table tennis team, male students would be excited, since there is not a

men’s tennis team at Stockton. We interviewed a male student at Stockton, Justin Reich, and asked him what table tennis means to him. He replied saying “I never played table tennis as an actual sport against other schools, but having the opportunity to do that would be amazing! I have been playing table tennis for fun for 14 years, the same amount of time I have also been playing tennis.” In many people’s eyes, there is not a doubt that table tennis is a sport because it requires even more hand eye coordination than

tennis. The ball is often coming at each player much faster because it is on a smaller surface. The players must have a precise mental gameby thinking where they are going to place their shot, with much less time than tennis. Watching an actual Olympic table tennis match, in some cases, you cannot even see the ball because it is traveling at speeds unimaginably fast. It is common for people to train for this sport up to 8 hours a day. Many love the sport of table ten-nis because it brings people together for short or even long period of the day. Table tennis can

sometimes look extreme, but it is simply just hitting a little ball over a net. The simplicity of the sport is indeed what makes it so difficult.People underestimate the sport of “table tennis,” but when they see a competitive match, it leaves them speechless. If people had the same enthusiasm as Justin and Oriel for table tennis it could without a doubt thrive as a new sport here at Stockton. If you or someone you know is interested in playing table

tennis the tables can be found in the Campus Center in the game room near Dunkin Donuts. There hours of operation are 10:00 am to 11:30 pm, Monday throughSunday. To play you go to the game room desk and hand them your Stockton ID to “check out”the table for a slot or two and then you’re provided with paddles and a ball.

TABLE TENNIS IS MORE THAN PING PONG


bying influence. Research is thin on the actual market share of recreational marijuana in the U.S., though Canada may later become a case study in time since unlike the U.S., hemp is legal nationwide. Nonetheless, if Cort’s concerns are of merit, there are legitimate concerns for small cannabusinesses. One way to be considered an oligopoly, the top four firms in the industry have control of 60 percent of the market. This is al-ready the case for the tobacco and alcohol sec-tors, and marijuana could eventually fall into that. When most of the industry is controlled by a few large firms, barriers like insufficient capital to compete with large corporations make entering the market extremely difficult for small businesses. My backup plan to open a weed and waffle house on Cookman Ave. in Asbury Park in case college doesn’t pan out may run into some interference by deep-pocketed, middle-aged high rollers. Massive cannabis companies also have the technology and capital to manipu-late those THC levels to sell more pot, and low-income minorities is their target group, delaying social reform. Almost every politician uses social jus-tice as a screen to legalize marijuana. The belief is that if decriminalized, less low-income Afri-can Americans and other minority groups will be unjustly incarcerated. Unfortunately, that jus-tice is lagging. A 2016 report from the Colorado Department of Public Safety shows from 2012 when weed was legalized to 2014, there was a 53% reduction in arrests for possession among

whites, which is super awesome, good for you, but only a 35% reduction in arrests for Hispan-ic people and just a 23% reduction for African Americans despite a Colorado Health Depart-ment survey founding no significant racial dif-ference in pot smokers. Still, marijuana posses-sion arrests among white kids between 10 and 17 years old saw a 10 percent decline between 2012 and 2014, again super-duper cool, stay in school kids, but arrests rose by over 20 percent for Hispanics and more than 50 percent for Afri-can American youth. The only feasible justifica-tion for this is perhaps police activity happens to be of higher concentration in African American and Hispanic neighborhoods than white domi-nant areas with more calls being made there as well. In any event, it is no excuse. Real efforts need to be made in communities, among law en-forcement, and at the capitol to reform an unjust justice system. Luckily, those efforts are trying to be pushed in New Jersey already. A 2018 ar-ticle from the New York Times reports how the Drug Policy Alliance is lobbying for a bill that will expunge all criminal records of marijuana possession. However, that expungement process currently requires an application and $200 to complete – not something many underprivileged New Jersey residents have. To ensure social jus-tice is being fulfilled, an efficiently affordable expungement process is the first step to reform. Once previously convicted individuals regain a clean record, standing for low-income entre-preneurs to enter the cannabis market becomes

more accessible and a share of the revenue from recreational pot sales can be redistributed back into schools and career training programs geared for uplifting social mobility within underprivi-leged neighborhoods. This can enhance well-be-ing throughout low-income communities while opening new opportunities as well. Social justice reform should be the pinnacle marijuana legal-ization is trying to reach – not greed or toying with THC potency. It’s almost all but certain pot will be legalized at some point during the Murphy ad-ministration, but it must be done the right way. Consumers have the right to know how much THC potency they’re buying for the sake of con-sumer safety; the cannabis market also needs loose barriers to allow small businesses to flour-ish and not turn into an oligopolist reflection of the tobacco and alcohol sectors, and social jus-tice should not be a screen for support to legal-ize weed but a priority. Community reinvestment and a boost in social mobility is critical in gener-ating a New Jersey weed economy that works for all. The “war on drugs” was nothing but a war on low-income neighborhoods and minority groups stemmed out of fear, paranoia, and profiling. It is owed that as this nonsensical war is terminated that all groups affected are lifted out of its ruins. If New Jersey can engender a marijuana culture that is safe, employable, and uplifting, this state can become the weed capitol of the world – and that’s a thought I’d like to blaze it to – legally.

OSPREY OPINIONS I DON’T FEEL SAFE

Dear editor, I am an extremely concerned student that commutes to Stockton University five days a week. Two of those days I am here until 8 o’clock at night. I am a young woman that must walk alone on campus to her car from class, and the school does nothing to make me feel safer or more comfortable. I still feel very unsafe on campus, even after our President Harvey Kes-selman said that the fact that “any student on our campus should have to fear for their safety is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.” This statement did not make me feel safe because of the comment made just after it. Our University’s President proceeded to say, “Yet sexual assault on campus is a reality.” I do understand that sexual assault is a reality on campus; however, it should not be a re-ality anywhere. The school and students should not rest until assault is no longer a reality on campus. I found it very interesting how in one sentence he claims that the school will stand with any victim, and then goes right on to promote

new expansions done to the school. It is men-tioned numerous times that Stockton is a family and a strong, caring community, yet I have been a student for over a month and have not felt any sense of security. I absolutely fear walking to my car after my class ends at 8 p.m. Before I even walk out-side of the building, I call a friend or my parents so that I know I am not alone. I wish that the campus would have more police present at night. This would make students feel safer. During the day, police are around everywhere, yet at night, when they should be there, they are not. I be-lieve that this is something the university should change. Stockton University has shown how much they stand by their family members by sweeping the sexual assault lawsuits under the rug and filling the news with college promotions about expansions. Does this show what the col-lege really cares about? Is this the way the col-lege makes themselves look better to the public? I find it very disheartening that instead of trying to educate the student body about how to pre-

vent rapes as well as educating the student body about different support programs the school has, they completely avoid the topic. The school is not seizing the kairotic moment they have been handed. This is the time the university should be pulling together to protect the community. One way to let students know they are not alone, es-pecially at night, would be to add a night security walk. This could be used by both commuters and residents. The college could have a number that students can call to set up a meeting with an of-ficer or a fellow student to walk them to their car or dorm if they feel unsafe. The campus needs to come together and join as the family that we preach we are to make everyone feel safe.

sincerely,Chelsea Williams

Katelyn WoolfordSTAFF WRITER Last weekend, an email appeared in my inbox that was simply titled “Timely Warning: Fondling.” It detailed the recent assault on a fe-male student on Sunday, Oct. 7 in Big Blue. I was shocked after reading this for two reasons: 1. the simple fact that it was about an assault on our campus and it was put out there in the open, and 2. I have not received a timely warning email since Oct. 17, 2016. Another email was sent out on Tuesday, Oct. 9, just two days after the first. This time, little to no details were included. Yet again, the email gave the approximate time and location of the assault, but no details about what kind of as-sault it was. Since such details were included in the previous email, it really made me question why more details were not provided about this incident. I can understand if it has something to do with legal problems, but if that were the case, why include such details in any of the time-ly warnings? It should also be disclosed if they cannot mention any more. The tone change between Sunday’s and Tuesday’s emails were also very noticeable. Be-sides just missing the details about the assault itself and the attacker in the second email, they included assault prevention tips. I have to admit that I am biased towards any assault prevention tips because I feel as though it puts the stress on possible victims and those who have already been victimized rather than putting stress on the attackers. Prevention tips always seem conde-scending. In a culture that puts the blame on vic-tims over and over again, it is a small but neces-sary critique. Because of the infrequency in these emails, it piqued my interest as to why these types of emails have not been in our inboxes more of-ten. Is it because there has not been anything to report to the students in the past two years since the fall 2016 semester? Doubtful. I understand that not everyone reports, but I found this odd.

Many students have voiced the same concern these past couple weeks, mainly because of the sexual assault lawsuits against Stockton. These problems were brought up many times during the Town Hall 2.0 meeting on Oct. 2, and I do not see this going away anytime soon. I appreciate these emails, and I am sure many other students feel the same way. It does solve some of the communication problems that were mentioned at Town Hall 2.0, but still leaves some with no solution. My biggest prob-lem with them is the inconsistency and use of as-sault prevention tips. When we live in a country where men that were accused of sexual assault

are now sitting in the Supreme Court and the White House, this anger is justified. Those who harm others need to be held accountable for their actions instead of instilling fear into those who are already afraid. In order to make Stockton a safe place for absolutely everyone, these uncom-fortable conversations need to be discussed. We know not to walk alone late at night. We know how and where to walk with confi-dence. We are clearly aware of our surroundings and we know how to react when attacked. But we should not have to worry about this.

A “TIMELY WARNING”


OSPREY OPINIONS

A NEED FOR TRANSPARENCYAlexis Franklin FOR THE ARGO

Last Saturday at University Weekend, I was tabling beside my fellow Student Sena-tors, promoting both the annual school spirit t-shirt swap and a fundraiser Senate is running for Stockton’s Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Center (we are giving away consent and anti-sexual assault buttons in return for whatever you can give; talk to a Senator if you’re interested). At one point, a woman walked up to the table and proclaimed, as she gestured to the buttons spread across our table, that “all this is not for me,” con-tinuing to explain how girls must be smarter and able to protect and defend themselves, like she is. In last week’s issue of the Argo, Vice Presi-dent of Student Affairs Chris Catching included a list of “Risk Reduction Tips” with his article titled “Report It to Help Stop It.” In a Timely Warning email sent out to the student body on Tuesday following an assault in North Lot, Di-rector of Campus Public Safety Adrian Wiggins provided “Assault Prevention Tips.” The advice given in all three situations followed along the same lines; don’t go out alone, be aware of your surroundings, report assaults and other crimes immediately- the general victim-blaming “tips” most women have grown all too familiar with hearing. I’m lucky enough to know and have worked with both Dr. Catching and Director Wiggins, so I know better than to believe ei-ther of them really meant to offend anyone or to victim-blame; they simply want the best for the students and want to help keep us safe. As I told the woman at University Weekend, the preventa-tive tips she provided, like those provided by Dr. Catching and Director Wiggins, are unfortunate-ly necessary for us to take. We live in a reality and culture where assaults of all kinds, not only sexual assaults, do happen, and there are things we must do to protect ourselves and ensure our own safety. That is not to say a victim is to blame because they did not take every last precaution, but simply to say I applaud the people working to share useful tips so that we know how to best keep ourselves safe, since our safety on campus is a responsibility that all too often falls upon our own shoulders. More significant than providing and following tips to keep ourselves safe in our current reality, however, is working toward the bigger picture: creating a reality where these tips are not necessary. My problem with these tips is that they are distributed and promoted on their own. As I said, it’s important that we know how to keep ourselves safe, but distributing tips to do so is nothing more than victim-blaming when efforts toward creating a better reality are not made and publicized along with them. This is where the Stockton Administration is falling through. By heavily publicizing things students can do and rarely showing any new efforts on their end (more than telling students “we have these re-sources, step up and use them”), the Administra-tion puts an unfair and disproportional amount of responsibility on our shoulders to keep cam-pus safe. From the students I have talked to, most of the student body does not believe huge changes are necessary; rather, a litany of small, incremental changes and increased transparency will go a long way in reassuring students of their

safety on campus. As a Student Senator, I work with the ad-ministration quite a bit, especially on the topic of sexual assault and safety. In my experiences working with the Administration to improve safety on campus, all parties involved have al-ways been receptive to new ideas and they work hard to implement changes they see as viable be-cause at the end of the day, they only want what is best for the students. That said, there are many realistic, easy-to-implement changes that will in-crease safety- such as mandating showing IDs to use university facilities and services- that I ex-pect the Administration to work with the Senate on without much pushback. While there are still additional measures that will have to be created and implemented and there must be more con-versation on what changes and improvements are necessary, the problem is not in accomplish-ing them; the problem is in the transparency of the progress of such changes. Due to my work on Senate, I know that following the North Lot assaults, the Stockton Police patrolled North Lot more heavily. On the topic of sexual assault resources and services, I know that the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Center got its budget doubled and is planning to move to a new, bigger, independent space. I know there are a lot of changes being made to improve student safety. But, again, I know this due to my work on Senate. While my fellow Senators and I do our best to relay information from the Administration to the rest of the stu-dent body, the Administration must be held to a higher standard in communicating directly with students and being transparent with the prog-ress they are making. While Timely Warning emails and the transparency in making students aware of assaults and other crimes is appreci-ated, it is equally as important to be transparent in the responsive and preventative measures that the Administration is taking. With two “Timely Warning” emails sent out in a matter of days, one would think there would be some sort of email detailing what the Administration is doing in re-sponse (like increasing police presence in North Lot) to give students some sense of comfort, but as of Wednesday (10/10) afternoon, there has been nothing. With seven sexual assault lawsuits filed against the University, one would think there would be some sort of email detailing how the Administration is working to expand re-sources for victims and survivors (because they are, see above), but, again, nothing. This dis-turbing lack of communication regarding what the Administration is doing in response not only leads to students believing nothing is being done at all but also that the University is downplaying the events transpiring on our campus and does not care about what’s going on. I’m well-aware most students immediately trash emails from the Administration, from Student Senate, and vari-ous other sources that often send out important information- a habit we must break- but if the Administration can take the time to email us or write for the Argo about what we can do to keep ourselves safe, they should have the time to tell us the steps they’re taking as well. I would like to note that there is no rea-son to believe Stockton’s campus has become less safe than it was in the past. The crimes we have gotten emails about are crimes that have probably been occurring every day for years

(I’m not excusing them, just stating they are not new) that are finally being reported. While it seems scary to get two timely warning emails in a span of a few days, it is doubtful this has been caused by a spike in actual crimes, but rather a spike in reporting. Reporting helps make the campus safer−it draws attention to potentially dangerous areas of campus and highlights where improvements are necessary and what those im-provements may be. It’s hard to fix a problem nothing is known about; reporting and the subse-quent timely warning emails bring our attention to problems we can then work together to fix. Though an increase in reports may seem intimi-dating, it also means we have an opportunity to find a solution to problems that have more than likely been going on unnoticed for years. I am confident that all safety concerns and the threats recent events have posed to student safety are being taken seriously by the Administration, and I know they are more than willing to work with students to do whatever it takes to make this campus safe and comfort-able for all students. The Administration simply must do a better job at communicating their ef-forts to students who do not have the opportunity to work with them and talk to them every day. Not only will this clarify that the Administration does care about student safety and is taking steps to improve it, but it will also remove some of the responsibility they have unjustly put on our shoulders and mitigate accusations of victim-blaming. How that communication can be im-proved, which methods are quickest and easiest for students to interact with, and other specifics are part of a conversation both students and ad-ministrators alike must acknowledge is needed and be open to.
