DANNER BACK IN BUSINESS? More food options coming to long-closed campus cafeteria THE COLLEGIAN

With little fanfare, the Danner cafeteria area made a surprise opening on Thursday, Oct. 25, serving hot oatmeal, as well as biscuits and gravy. The plan is to, as of Oct. 29, officially be back up and running, according to Michael Williams, Auxiliary Services Operations Supervisor. Breakfast options will include the oatmeal and a do-it-yourself waffle bar. Grab-and-go options for lunch include choices such as chicken strips, French fries, pizza, hot dogs and tamales. These items were previously located in the bookstore. A salad bar will also be introduced, with prices ranging from $3.99 for a small to $6.99 for a large. A soup and salad combo will also be offered. The new hours for cafeteria will be: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday.

On Oct. 17, California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley visited San Joaquin Delta College for a stop on his “Listening Tour.” Delta College was one of six visited throughout the 114 college system. The campus’ Expanded Executive Leadership Team spent the day in and out of departments on campus with Oakley and his staff, along with a few Board of Governors members. “I like that he provided the opportunity for different constituents in the campus to meet with him kind of in a smaller group setting,” said Le Phan, manager of student and community outreach. The afternoon included meetings with faculty and classified employees, where the Oakley asked questions including: “What measures are you taking for participatory governments with the students and faculty, that’s been a concern among a number of faculty here and statewide?” Oakley readdressed the question to the public at a town hall meeting at Tillie Lewis Theatre. He assured the audience that the statewide Academic Senate has proper and frequent representation, but it is a “tremendous responsibility” for students as representatives, so he and the president of the Academic Senate for Community Colleges guide as best they can. The focus of the meeting was to discuss the Chancellor’s Vision for Success: “Strengthening the California Community Colleges to Meet California’s Needs.” The majority of the 40 people at the town hall were Delta faculty — specifically those on the executive leadership team, a few deans and directors, classified employees, and Board of Governors members. Questions were lethargic, and Oakley kept having to encourage the audience.

Police respond to report of crack pipe in Shima bathroom BY AYAANA WILLIAMS Staff Writer

On Oct. 16, Delta College police responded to a incident on campus involving drug paraphernalia. The incident was reported to police by a campus janitorial staff member. According to police, a custodian heard something hit the ground near the all-gender bathroom on the first floor of the Shima building. The item was believed to be a crack pipe. After being contacted police arrived to the area and intruder was escorted off campus by authorities. “Officers standing in front of the bathrooms had

nothing to do with the actual bathrooms, that just happened to be the area where the drugs were reported,” said Jim Bock, a Delta police sergeant. Some students were concerned with the fact there were officers standing in front of the newly placed all-gender bathrooms, with the idea it might have had something to do with student safety and privacy. “When I saw them out there I kind of automatically assumed that maybe there was something going on or maybe they were just looking out for things that could happen with all-gender bathrooms like assault,” said student Alonzo Crawford. Campus police typically send out mass emails

concerning any information students may need to know about such as possible bathroom surveillance. An annual report was recently sent out about on Oct. 4 about crime rates across Delta Stockton campus compared to city-wide crime rates that included this years reports of rape, sexual assault, theft, homicide, etc. Despite misconception, this had little to do with the all-gender bathrooms. Authorities want to make sure students know there will not be police surveillance the all-gender restrooms frequently and Delta officers respect the privacy of students and trust the general safety of campus.
