Spaulding Associate Editor Where do we go from here? Jennifer Matchett This is a concern of many who have been informed of the recent waves of violence that News Editor have crashed over the campus of Stockton State College. In this semester alone, the Argo Marianne Cox has reported numerous assaults, some between neighbors, others between strangers, but all Editorial Staff occurring right on campus; vicious attacks that a member of the community may never Managing Editor fathom from a small, friendly college nestled deep into the woods. In fact, the members of Sonja Martin this community are not immune to the everyday occurrences of any small town. Now that the situation is full-fledged and becoming more of a problem, the question Arts and Entertainment Editors of "Where do we go from here?" needs to be answered quickly. A Task Force has been Mark DeBonis created by the school to tackle this problem, but shouldn't more drastic measures be taken Kip Hasson to insure the safety of those who live and work on the campus every day? This is not an issue that effects a certain segment of the population, but everyone. The Atropos Editor question of "Why is this happening so often?" cannot be pinpointed. However, the urgency Kristin Sherwood of the situation is apparent and more people need to show their support for any action taken to stop the violent crimes on this campus. Student organizations are sponsoring lectures Environment and Science Editor dealing with the halt of violent crimes and rallying in marches to voice their concerns. Jennifer Domask This student effort should be intensified to include all student organizations and ARGO is not an official publication of leaders. Sometimes special attention needs to be given to such matters in times of a crisis Stockton State College but is published by an Sports Editor — acrisis by which every person on this campus is threatened. Unusual circumstances such independent corportion licensed in New Jersey Jerry Thompson as these require a speedy solution. The Student Senate, the representation for the student body, might consider a plan of action to help safeguard the campus. Prioritize the situation and act upon that. The college has a commendable procedure in any case of assault or harassment. The rights of the victim always take precedence and the perpetrator is immediately penalized.

When I found out the "Spin bedroom when you sleep and poke your Doctors" were playing in Princeton, my pseudo home town, I was more than surprised, I was elated, overjoyed, and generally feeling a bloated belly. warm fuzzy feeling in my head. The thought of seeing the "Spin Doctors" with only a few hours notice just blew my mind. Incase you've been living under a rock, the "Spin Doctors" are the hot new band who have generated hits, "Little Miss Can't be Wrong," 'Two Princes," Capricorn: (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Romance and "Big Fat Funky Booty." heats up at the convenience store when After some severe wheel spinning to get tickets for this affair, and with no success, I simply decided to make a mad go for it and you and a mysterious stranger both grab entrust fate to get me into the show. I found fate in the form of a mild mannered scalper who sold me a ticket for face value. The arena for the same shriveled-up hot dog. the "Spin Doctors" played in was just a very huge gym on Princeton's campus across from some of the archaic gothic dorms. I later discovered that the show was not even publicized and only Princeton University students were supposed to get in. So much for exclusive Aquarius: (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A nasty campus sponsored events. cold debilitates you until daredevil Evil They opened with a song off their live album, "Spin Doctors, Up For Grabs" called "Kerosene" and played almost every track off Knievel comes to your home and heals that and their studio album, "Pocket Full of Kryptonite." I would like to tell you the high point of the show, but every time I thought they you with the touch of his throttle. had reached on they would top it with something even better. "The Doctors" played for almost three hours over two sets of body slamming, good time music. Believe it or not quite a mosh pit developed in front of the stage, one that I did my share of moshing in. The crowd Pisces: (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) While using had its own will and surged towards the stage like a gang of bees. One of the best songs they did was "How Could You Want Him When the cash machine, the person behind You Know You Could Have Me."

He went on during "Big Fat your account, and return yourcard to you Funky Booty" to philosophize about the nature of beauty and the definition of art in today's world. During "What Time Is It?" He explained before you suspect a thing. that a "Spin Doctor" is one who manipulates the media to his own advantage, and that those who are in authority basically buy the media to advertise warfare. Very interesting. This small show was the best that I had been to in a long time, maybe ever, and was packed full of old favorite tunes and a lot of new I'M MAD AS HELL material, some of which will appear on a new album called "Homebelly Groove" due to be released November 24th. The Ivy League crowd was a good one and showed that they could groove to the tunes of the "Spin Doctors." My personal favorite song was the AND I'M NOT journalistic lament, "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" about the little guy who was in love with Lois Lane. GOING TO TAKE IT After the show I was personally instructed by one of the "Spin Doctors" own Spin Doctor to lobby for the bands music to be played on WLFR, so how about it guys?
