EMERGENCY CLOSING

In the event of severe weather or other types of emergencies, area radio stations will announce one of three conditions for Stockton.

COMPLETE SHUT-DOWN OF THE INSTITUTION: 1 - The Governor may order the closing of all state facilities, or the President may order the shutdown of Stockton College. Essential employees still may have to report to work.

CANCELLATION OF CLASSES; 2 - President Farris may order the cancellation of classes for the day. In this situation the institution remains open, however, because of the large numbers of students living on campus. Employees may still be required to report to work.

DELAYED OPENING: 3 - President Farris may order a delayed opening. In this situation the late opening time will coincide with the beginning of a class module. Students will report to the class which ordinarily convenes at that time. Employees are to report to work as soon as conditions permit.

The radio stations listed below, including major Philadelphia radio stations, will carry Stockton's announcements. Stockton has been assigned School Number 913 and will be referred to by this number (not by name) on Philadelphia station KYW AM). School Number 2913 will be used in conjunction with evening classes.

Rebounds Page 12 January 31, 2000 SPORTS THE ARGO Lady Ospreys continue to score Shaun Reilly The Argo The Lady Ospreys improved their overall record to 11-5 by defeating Ramapo College on Sat. Jan. 22. The Ladies cruised by Ramapo by never letting their lead slip below seven points. The ladies shot 45% from the floor in the first half but the story of the half was the outstanding rebounding of the lady ospreys. 5'11' freshman Lilad Ormond pulled down 6 boards to lead the way for the team. Collectively the ladies tallied 28 total rebounds in the first half. The second half seemed to drag as the ladies came out and continued to build their lead. The ladies really didn't show much enthusiasm, yet they marched on rolling over the Ramapo defense. The officiating also helped to sap any life out of the second half of play. Any sort of flow to the game was diminished by the continual blare of the whistle from the game's offi- cials. Both Ramapo and Stockton's coaches were at odds with the official throughout the second period. By the time the final buzzer sounded everyone in the building grew tired of the game's officiating. Senior Amanda Petronaci led the team with 22 points. Three Ospreys tallied eight rebounds to bring the team total to 59. That is 30 rebounds more than the women from Mahwah. The lady Ospreys put on a strong showing, especially in light of the trouncing they received only days before from Rowan. The team is also battling illness, injury and personal tragedy.
