The Collegian

The Collegian is the student newspaper of San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, Calif. The paper is published six times a semester.

As a First Amendment newspaper we pride ourselves on a commitment to the students of Delta College while maintaining independence.

We reinvigorate the credo that the newspaper speaks for the students, checks abuses of power and stands vigilant in the protection of democracy and free speech.

what once was.

“I would like Delta to have yearbooks,” Delta College Student, Michelle Rivero said. “It’s a good way to look back on the good memories of the school year and input photos from the events and help involve the students more.”

I think it would be a great idea for Delta to provide at least a custom yearbook made for individuals that includes their picture, name and major as well as those that are in the same major as they are. For example, you could group together the nursing majors or Journalism majors.

But who would make the yearbooks?

I imagine the yearbook making process either being student run and made rather than faculty making the yearbook for students since other students have ideas on what students want to see in the yearbook.

Would ASDC produce the yearbook or would the newspaper staff produce the yearbook, or would they both share equal responsibility for the yearbook?

For now the newspaper, the Collegian acts as a record for events that happened on campus and other topics that bring in Delta students.

Though the newspaper isn’t the same as a yearbook since you can’t really have your friends sign the paper, it’s a great way to remember campus life.

Hopefully one day Delta will bring back yearbooks after almost 66 years, for now we have the newspaper to relive memories of our Delta experience.
