Recently the Faculty Assembly and the Student Senate have been asked to consider this as a new name for our college. It seems that many alumni and administrators, as well as students, have expressed an interest in developing the name of Richard Stockton State College. But why? Simply for the fact that we lose nothing, but have the opportunity to gain ev- erything. Stockton has emerged from an unknown college in South Jersey, to a school known for its parties, to a respected institution of higher education which recently received unconditional reaccredidation (as well as commendations) from the Middle State Association . Over the last decade, Stockton has seen unparalled growth and change. Editor in Chief By replacing "state" with "New Jersey", it clarifies the location of the college, as Sonja G.

Both the fraternities and sororities, while usually going unnoticed, are continually hosting events which benefit Stockton State College and the community. One such organization helping on and off campus is the Delta Zeta sorority. AZ, whose most recent accomplishment is their Philanthropy program, believes it is important to keep a balance between school, the community and extracurricular activities. Delta Zeta's Philanthropy program is a charity for speech and hearing impaired children in the Atlantic County area. "Our sorority raises money and hosts parties for the kids," commented Tracy Cooper, Delta Zeta sister," she continued, "We try to do something for the community every semester. It's usually easy because we (sisters) get as much out of it as do the kids." AZ's involvement with the Philanthropy program has gone so well that they have extended their programs to include an Easter party for the kids. This is to be held on April 21st in the Residential Life Center. " We also have raised money for Galludite University in Washington, D.C.," said Amy Gilsenan, Delta Zeut member and President of PanHellenic. Galludite University is a 1 At The PAC £ school specifically designed for the speech and hearing impaired.
