On Aug. 12, the 30th annual Delta Scholarship Awards Cer-emony was held to award 248 students with just over $245,000 inscholarships.
Four-hundred awards in total were handed out, with some stu-dents receiving multiple awards.
A limitation o $3,000 is set as the maximum amount a studentcan receive.
Multiple community and private donors, including businessowners and other members o the San Joaquin community, undthe scholarships. Tere are some cases, as well, when the scholar-ships are nanced by Delta rust accounts.
Jessica Vergara; a recipient o $2,000 in total rom three schol-arships including McDonalds, Credit Union, and Delta College;shares her extreme gratitude or the awards.
Without these scholarships I would not have my books thissemester or my laptop and printer or assignmentsthey saved methis semester, said Vergara.
Students are concerned more than ever about their ability to paytheir tuitions.
With the new pay-to-stay policy initiated at the start o the allsemester, plus record waiting list counts tumbling over 10,000students this year, reality is hard-hitting.
Ater receiving a total o our scholarships worth $1,875, Na-than Watkins said that without the money hed have a conict be-tween school and other responsibilities.
My grades would be negatively afected because I would thenhave to workturning into a trickle down afect taking time awayrom my studies and amily, said Watkins.

Transfer day connectsstudents with universitiesBy Charnae Davenport
Copy Editor
Each year, 8001,000 stu-dents transer to our-year uni-versities rom San Joaquin Del-ta College.
ranser Day provides theability to connect with repre-sentatives rom the CSU, UCsystem or private/independentinstitutions in one day, and togather inormation that willoster good decision makingabout their uture educationalgoals.
Te annual ranser Dayevent continues to bring op-portunities to students. Over40 universities bombarded thequad last week to recruit and
give students vital transer in-ormation. Delta College hashosted transer day or 36 yearsand it continues to be a success.
ranser day is pretty cool,said student Wendy Sullivan.I dont know which school tochoose so this is a good idea andI really need this.
UC Davis, SacramentoState, and CSU Stanislaus arethe most common universitiesDelta students transer to.
Tey have a Stockton cam-pus close to home and itll saveme a lot o money and time.Im open to commute but thecampus is right there close to
home, said student KrystineEsperanza, who plans to trans-er to CSU Stanislaus.
Non-students also attendedthis event. A bus-load o LindenHigh School students came tosee the benets o being a trans-er student.
Im interested in going toChico or Fresno State Univer-sity. I would consider Deltabecause its a good opportunityor students, said Linden High
School senior Liliana Castillo.I like the idea o ranser
Day because its good to look
at all the diferent schools, theirdiversity, and talk to representa-tives.
Te school ofers workshops,guidance courses, counseling,and other resources all to pre-pare the student body or trans-erring. ranser Day brings allthese utilities to the oreront.
ranser Admission Guaran-tee (AG) is an application tobe submitted during the busytranser season to guarantee ad-mission to seven UC schools.Tis application can only besubmitted in the month o Sep-tember.
Tis year a AG can be
submitted online to avoid thecrowded counseling oce.odays student is very
computer oriented, said coun-selor Debra Louie. Im totallyamazed how it has taken of andI think its great.
So ar over 500 AGs havebeen submitted beore its dead-line. Te turnout has alreadydoubled, and could possiblytriple, beore the month is over.
Although AG is now o-ered online, the option is stillavailable, and recommended, tosee a counselor to avoid errors.Counselors and workshops areavailable to correctly submit a
AG and see which majors arecurrently available.Outside o ranser Day, all
other acilities are available andaculty strongly encourages thatstudents take advantage.
For more inormation aboutavailable resources, visit the Ca-reer ranser Center in the De-Ricco building.

I have had conversationswith some o the recipients whotold me the same thing. Tatthey were so grateul that with-out scholarships they would notknow where they would havegotten the money rom to sup-port them in their classes, saidDe La Cruz.
Over the past 30 years, theceremony has awarded $4.75million in scholarships to Deltastudents.

Delta College is hometo many musicians, but itsacts like Steeproo who arebringing variety to acousticperormances in Stockton.
Steeproo is Delta studentDanny Sperry, 23.
Sperry perorms locally withhis acoustic guitar, sometimesaccompanied by audience-provided percussion orprojected video clips o nature
while he plays.But it all comes down to
a guy, his stories and his sixstrings.
Sperry began playing electricguitar in eighth grade, when heand a riend decided to take a
guitar class. He then taughthimsel how to read tablature.I played in a lot o dierent
bands, but its hard to get peopletogether now that were olderand working, said Sperry.
Sperry picked up an acousticguitar two years ago and hasdeveloped as a solo perormer.
However, his songs are notthe typical, melodic singer-songwriter pieces one mayexpect. Tere is a roughness tohis sound, and the songs are allset at a ast pace.

songs are airly simple, he said.Te lyrics are personal, andcan be serious or metaphorical.Its a good way to get things oyour chest.
Te lyrics o Sperrys songsinclude reerences to everythingrom unrequited eelings toSperrys ascination with nature.
Dead Like Moth ismetaphorical, he said inregards to the title track o hislatest demo. When I was inennessee, I saw a moth and I

It all began when San Joaquin Delta Collegestudent Nicholas Aguirre decided to attend an
Associated Student Body Government meeting.Solyn Laney, Interim Supervisor o Student
Activities and ASBG Advisor told Aguirre to goto the DeRicco building or the ASBG meeting at1:30 p.m. on August 30.
I went to the meeting and was looking orwardto nding out what was going on with our clubsand campus, not really expecting anything out othe ordinary, Aguirre said.
An anonymous male student who alsoattended the ASBG meeting said that throughoutthe meeting, Aguirre made comments criticalo FCMA guest speaker Michelle Plumbtree.
Aguirre, however, reports this is untrue.Basically, I wanted to know the acts and
not her [Plumbtrees] opinion o operations andpolicies, he said.
Ater the meeting, Aguirre said he met outside with Vice President o Student Services rudyWalton, Secretary o Student Activities KatrinaLockett, and Plumbtree. It was then that he saysLockett asked him i he was going to apologize toPlumbtree or verbally attacking her.
I was shocked at that, said Aguirre. Inever verbally attacked her. I never harassed orthreatened anybody.
Aguirre says he spoke with both Walton andPlumbtree ater the meeting and came to whathe believed was a mutual understanding o theevents with both parties.
However, Aguirre says that shortly ater themeeting, he received a letter rom Walton stating
Aguirre acted inappropriately and disruptivelyduring the course o the meeting, along witha warning phone call rom campus policeconcerning his alleged behavior.
When I came to meet with Walton, I waspresented with a contract saying that a misconducthold had been placed on my school records, hesaid.
Aguirre proposed that the Student Codes oConduct be changed so that a student must havea hearing prior to a misconduct hold being placedon their record.
I want an apology rom all partiesinvolved, and copies and names o whoreported me in the rst place so that Iknow theyre not just made up. he said.

Tere are major changes to how clubs can raise and handle money or the
all 2010 semester.A recent audit has shown that the way student organizations on campus,
including clubs and the Associated Student Body Government, are not meetingstate Education Codes.
Delta College was advised by the audit personnel to put into place a moretransparent system o how ASB (Student) unds were spent that meet the Ed.Code and other Caliornia Regulations that govern the community collegelevel students, said Interim Vice-President o Student Aairs Julius Watters.
o meet these new standards San Joaquin Delta College has replaced itsold nancial system with Kuali Financial System, a system used by collegesthroughout the country, that lets Delta College keep more accurate records othe money earned and spent by students.
Te money we saved by not buying a proprietary system is money that cannow be spent where it belongs on our students, said Dr. Raul Rodrgiguez,ormer Delta College president, as quoted on the website kuali.org.
Clubs should be aware that now in order to have any outside vendors paid,such as aqueria Carolina or shops that make custom shirts, the club needsto make sure a W-9 tax orm is already led and updated into the new Kuali
system.Delta College clubs will also no longer be able split any shared earnings
rom event sales at the end o any event.Any money earned during an event must be counted by club and vendor
representatives then the ull amount should be deposited into the clubs account.Vendors will then be paid by check ater the cash is deposited.Te guidelines outlining the new cash handling system are especially
important to protect any clubs possible earnings.

Clubs will have to be more creative in their emoney now that one o the most popular ways to rano longer allowed.
Rafes and games o chance have always been tto raise money or clubs on campus, second only tsoda sales. Tese are no longer allowed.
It has been brought to the attention o San JoCollege that rafes, like the one the Associated StGovernment hosted or its Welcome Back Day actually violate Caliornia Penal Code 319.
According to Code 319 lotteries are dened as the disposition o property by chance among persopaid or promised to pay any value or the chance the property.

Longtime womens water polo coach Mike Leabo is optimisticabout the current season, but knows there are a ew obstacles or
the team to work around.Numbers are against him, rst o all.Leabo, now in his ninth year as head coach, only has 10 players
on the roster.An average team? 13.With seven positions in the eld at one time, the Lady Mus-
tangs only have three reserve players or substitutions.We have been doing a lot o conditioning during practice be-
cause some o the girls may have to play the entire game, saidLeabo. With most o the teams we play having twelve to thirteenplayers, its going to be tough.
Leabo said problems, specically with atigue, may give oppos-ing teams an advantage over Deltas team.
A lack o returning players who bring a veteran presence havelead to the 2010 season being what is commonly called a rebuild-ing season.
Out o 10 players, only our are sophomores.We have a ton o deensive talent, thats our strong point, what
we need to work on is our ofensive attack, the girls cant be hesi-tant to shoot the ball, said Leabo.
In 2009, the Lady Mustangs were 10-16 overall but only 1-6 inthe Big-8 Conerence.
In the rst win o the season, the struggling ofense ignited witha 15-6 victory o Ohlone College Sept. 14.
We had a big game ofensively against Ohlone, and thats what were going tolook or all season, said Leabo.
Te team is lead by goaltenders Amanda Jorgenson and Gianna Pioli. Jorgensonwho was team MVP last season will be starting as goaltender while also playing inthe eld.
Te Delta College womens gol teamis hitting the green this season with in-creased team numbers thanks to a newlineup o players.
Only two veterans returned to theteam this year, said head coach onyroncale, a PGA proessional now in histhird season leading the women.
roncale spent the of-season recruit-ing more players, which now numbers10, doubles rom last years ve.
We really went looking or playersthat were willing to play, said roncale.
With a team comprised o mostlyreshman, players such as Ashley Kie-
sel are stepping up, making names orthemselves on the green.I think I can bring a lot o leadership
to the team, said Keisel, in her rst yearat Delta College.
Kiesel scored a par 80 during the Big8 Conerence match Sept. 16 at SwensonGol Course in Stockton.
Te score broke the schools record orlowest par in the teams history.
