    Respect. Its the key word

    in the current debate as towhether to build a mosque inNew York City near the site

    where the World rade Centerbuildings once stood.

    Building a mosque nearGround Zero is not onlydisrespectul to those who diedon Sept. 11. 2001, but to theamilies o those individuals

    who live on.Tousands o innocent

    people died that day. Whatthey deserve is our respect.

    Classes have been cut, programs have lost unding andteachers have been laid o, but it is the new pay-to-staypolicy that is really upsetting students here at San JoaquinDelta College.

    Starting this semester Delta has implemented the pay-to-stay policy which requires students to pay o their debtsowed to the school within ten days or ace having all o theirclasses dropped.

    Students all across campus are outraged saying thepolicy is unair and leaves the poorest o students out oluck when it comes to attending college. But that is alarge misconception, students who qualiy or nancialaid through programs such as FAFSA and the Board oGovernors ee waiver are exempt rom the ten day rule solong as they show they are trying to settle their debts.

    Tis school costs money to run and as adults studentsshould be more understanding o that.

    Did anyone else notice how much easier it was to addinto classes this semester? We did. During the spring 2010semester many o us were on waiting lists but were told onthe rst day that we may as well not show up because therewill be no room to add us.

    Tis semester students actually had a sporting chance atgetting into classes they really needed.

    Secondly, so many students are outraged that the schoolgave no warning o this change and it has even been saidthat they passed it in secret.

    Tat is simply not true.Collegian editor-in-chie Daryl Bunao was at the meeting

    where the school voted on the pay-to-stay rule and wasshocked to note that only he and our other students romthe general population o the school were there to sayanything at all. Te bottom line is: i you did not bother tovote, do not complain about the outcome.

    It is high time students to take responsibility or thegoings on here at Delta College.

    Students should not sit idly by while classes are lled withremorseless individuals who drop classes the moment theirnancial aid checks are deposited. Tere are serious studentswho really need those classes.

    Likewise, i there is a controversial policy trying to be

    passed on campus we should all speak up. Attend the Boardo Presidents meetings; speak to the Associated StudentBody Government.

    Tis is the students school as much as it the Board orustees, i you think dont like it, x it.

    Do not just let it happen and then complain about itlater.

    Plain and simple. Te peoplewho were responsible or thesedeaths are associated with theIslamic religion. Building themosque would be like addinginsult to injury.

    In the mid-1980s, aCatholic convent opened near

    Auschwitz I, where manyPolish Catholics were killed.

    Te convent was closed whenJewish groups began to protest.

    A year ater, a large crosswas erected near the site. Againprotest arose rom the Jewishgroups, saying that the presenceo the Catholic religioussymbol was disrespectul

    because o the Jewish legacyassociated with Auschwitz.

    Because o what happenedon Sept.. 11, the Islam aith

    will orever be linked to aterrorist event, even thoughnot all Muslims are terrorists.Its inevitable, as the Christianaith is linked to the killingo Jews, even though not allChristians are anti-Semitic. Itprobably didnt help that Hitler

    was raised a Catholic, albeitnot a very good one.

    Yes, Muslims died at GroundZero, just like Catholics died at

    Auschwitz. But so did people oother aiths and belies.

    Yes, there is a little thing calledreedom o religion. But seeingthe confict that this mosque iscausing, the obvious answer isthat it should be built elsewhere.

    I people start to protest aboutthe elsewhere then there is aproblem that may be attributedto racism and Islamophobia.But the mosque at Ground Zerohas nothing to do with racismor Islamophobia, like others areclaiming.

    Tis has to do with respector the thousands o lives lost.

    Stockton providesadvantages and

    disadvantages for artistsBy Cassandra Sellers

    Staf Writer

    o contact this reporter, E-mail at:[email protected]

    Being an artist can be hard today, as musical popularity spursthose with the common dream o money and ame orward. Sixlocal artists say there are advantages and disadvantages to beingartists rom Stockton.

    Our community is segregated on music styles, but they dosupport to an extent. We need a movement we can all get behindand run with, said Aaron Ren Da Heatmonsta Mena rom theveteran rap group Doja Clik. Its good to be rom a new area, butour area is not a place people know as a marketable area such asL.A., the Bay, NY or the South.

    But Stockton has a stigma to it, says battle rapper Mike BrokeHancho.

    Outside o Stockton it seems to be a problem because a lot o

    people have that negative stereotype o Stockton being horrible, butpersonally, I love it, and it turns out a lot o important people arerom Stockton, which has worked out to my advantage numeroustimes, he said.

    Does the perception o the city make representing the locale adisadvantage? Not always, said Aaron Psych Herrera.

    As ar as coming rom Stockton, a lot see it as a disadvantage,but I see it as more o an edge over the competition, he said. Nota lot o people know about Stockton, so when I speak they get aglimpse o what my experience is. Honestly I couldnt ask or abetter position.

    Battle rapper James J Fox agreed.I think it gives us a advantage because people dont take

    Stockton seriously, but they will as soon as its a whole new hype,he said.

    eak Underdue o Hallway Productionz said that while Stocktondoesnt have strong networking or the many resources available toartists in the Bay Area or Southern Caliornia, it does oer positives

    or setting up a career.Te advantage is i our artists are given the chance, we have theopportunity to shed light on an untapped region and market, hesaid. Tere is so much revenue that can be brought into the valley. Iyou claim to be an artist rom the bay or L.A., there is an expectationor a genre or realm the artist is boxed into. No one really knows whatan artist rom the 209 is supposed to sound like. We can create that.

    Its not the area that makes the artist, though, as singer/rapper Brennan J-Matic Jones said. Its about gettingthe word out too. A positive attitude, hard work andmotivation is all it comes down to at the end o the day.Were ooded with negative music, he said. Its hard to try to weedout the good rom the bad, but I understand it totally. All an artistcan do is sel promote, the word o mouth is the best way to starta buzz.

    Tat story was the children o Northern Uganda seized by the Lords ResistanceArmy (LRA) and developed into child soldiers thereore continuing Aricas longestwar spanning over two decades.

    oms Shoes, a company who also inspired a campus club, was ounded by BlakeMycoskie. Te main goal o the club is to improve the lives o children across the
