SPOTLIGHT ON STOCKTON Anyone who has ever been to Stockton on a weekend quickly realizes what a suitcase school we really go to. After alxjut 3:00 P.M. Friday the parking lots empty and the Parkway gets crowded. For years now the administrators at this school have been trying to address the dilemma of students going home every weekend, but with very little success. They have found that the students that go to this school simply live too close to home and there is too little to do here to keep them on the weekends. In light of this many students feel that the school has stopped trying to keep people here. I asked a few people who were wandering the halls during the week what they think it will take to keep people here on the weekends.

Anthony Montalbano Christine Schlereth Mike Salamone Licardo Gwira Junior Sophomore Sophomore Junior No one will ever stay here on We should have kegs and They should offer free six packs They should have things like the the weekends, even if they hire midgets at weekend Barbecues of your choice of beer if you spring fling on the weekends prostitutes for everyone. in the courts on the weekends. stay for the whole weekend! instead of the middle of the week.
