Another Slice of... THE BEST OF SHUTUPMICHELLE Page IIB November 8, 1999 NEWS THE ARGO SPOTLIGHT ON STOCKTON

Students who live on campus find themselves having to pay various fines. By policy, these fines are not supposed to be levied as a source of revenue for the college. These fines are intended to recoup damages and to help pay for certain programs. Many people however contend that this money is misappropriated because they can not see where the money is spent. I wanted to know what Stocktonites think the money is spent on. I asked, "What do you think that the college spends tine money on?"

As stated in an article earlier in this paper this may be the last semester for rock and roll or rap in the Lakeside Center. According to the management the volume of these shows, that are generally provided a few nights a week, prevents customers at the pizzeria from receiving the kind "of service that they desire. The management claims that because of the bands customers can not hear when their orders are finished. They are also forced to close the inside window because of the noise problems. So starting next semester the concert series at Lakeside will only include acoustic and easy listening bands. I wanted to know if Stocktonites had an opinion on this, and how they felt on not having any input as to the programming change. I also asked if they thought there was a way to remedy the problem without eliminating the bands.
