The Unified Black Students Society received their new budget request for $14,500. A newsletter, Kwanzaa and a spring concert will be some of the events funded. The Fencing, Aikido and Dance Clubs received $200, $2,040 and $2,700 respectively. The clubs will now be able to purchase equipment, insurance and fund instructor's salaries. The Dance club will be attending the American College Dance Festival in Tampa, Florida. The bulk of the $102,440 distributed, was the $83,000 designated to the Student Senate, themselves. Included in this sum is the Distinguished Lecture Series, senator training and the salaries of the coordinators and trainers who work to make the Student Senate possible.

Hey... you. Yeah you. Are your ears to the ground... wanna hear the latest "word around campus." I can give you something you won ' t find on any other college campus. Yeah, its good stuff— and available only here at Stockton. What is it? Well, keep it quiet now, but Stockton State College has one of the lowest crime rates on a college campus in the State of New Jersey. And this year, the crime rate is down to boot. In the later half of 1992, there were 45 complaints filed with the Campus Hearing Board... this year, only 36 have been heard before the Hearing Board Panel. In addition, Stockton students have become more aware of the danger of crime on campus and have been moved to action— positive action through the crime task force; students, Editor in Chief faculty, and staff working together for a safer academic environment. Though clubs and organizations, through Vaughn Watson fraternities and sororities, and through student networking and communication, our college community is active, Associate Editor refusing to take the passive voice.

It was a pretty good vacation but I didn't get to see that many live bands but I'm trying to make up for that this semester. I searched for the Nine Inch Nails remixes and after coming up dry at Vintage Vinyl and Soundwave, I had to call up my contact at Formula. I now posess six cuts from NIN that are remixed by Coil, Butch Vig (Who also remixed "Shamrocks & Shenanigans" from House of Pain) and various others. It even includes two new songs called "Fistfuck" and "Throw this away". A MUST for Nine Inch Nails fans. Another industry aquisition was POSSESSED from Nettwerk, which is a sound sampler from their various bands. Consolidated has a Crackhouse remix featured. A new band called Peace, Love and Pitbulls cranks an industrial cut called "I'm the radio King Kong". Abassnotized version of The Final Cut's, "I believe in you". Skinny Puppy puts out the old style with "K-9". Childman (Adam Sheburne from Consolidated) puts in a solo effort called "Refused to be a Man". Nettwerk puts out the best industrial stuff and this is a good way to find out what's good and what BROTHERS and SYSTEMS sucks. I bought the release of Based in Toronto, Canada, the core of including his collaboration with performance artist Terminal Power Company's, "Run Brothers and Systems is a partnership between Meryn Cadell on her single "The Sweater" from vinyl archaeologist Tom Third and his computer. her debut release "Angel Food for Thought" and Silent, Run Deep".

This was the case in a violation last semester of one of the 16 Campus Conduct Code Violations. A student was discovered allegedly violating the tenth Campus Con- duct Code, which reads: "Disorderly con- duct or lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct or expression on the college property or at college-sponsored or supervised functions." The student was immediately removed from campus, and was not allowed to return to school until the case had been resolved. Thus far, the rule has been upheld as consti- tutional. In an unrelated case in the fall semester of 1992, a student was accused of assaulting a police officer. Some factions on campus were distressed because the student had gone before the Hearing Board, and the decision came back that the student could stay on campus until proven guilty by a court of law.
