Every Wednesday around 12 p.m. students can listen to a vast variety of music in the Campus Center by the Dunkin Donuts.  While eating some lunch or just killing time in between classes, students have the option of grabbing a table and enjoying the sweet melodies from different bands, solo artists, and even impersonators. “Tunes at Noon” is a fantastic way to give students that extra push to get through the rest of the week. This weekly event allows students to become more aware of local bands and artists. It also allows these musicians to showcase their artistic abilities. “Tunes at Noon” displays musicians of all different kinds of music genres to keep every student on campus entertained and satisfied.

There are many different bands and artists who performed in the fall semester of 2013 for “Tunes at Noon”. Some of these bands and artists include Brent and Company, a reggae oriented band, Elaine Faye, a solo artist whose music is considered soft rock, and even a professional Michael Jackson impersonator. There is always someone new performing in the Campus Center for “Tunes at Noon” which makes every Wednesday that more exciting. Country bands, soft rock artists, reggae musicians, punk rock bands, and impersonators are just a few of the types of entertainment that cab be found in the Campus Center all because of “Tunes at Noon”. If a student has a passion for music, wants to know more about local bands and artists, or just wants an escape from the “middle of the week” blues, all they have to do is stop by the Campus Center and enjoy some music.

The end is near for the students at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.  A zombie apocalypse has infected the campus, leaving students to fend for themselves. However, this apocalypse is not real and just for fun. This week-long simulation of a zombie apocalypse has students equipped with Nerf guns and sock-grenades to fend off the zombie hordes. All participants must wear a green band around their arm indicating they are not infected. If they are infected they must wear a green band around their head. There are over 150 students participating in this event which makes the battle between the living and the living dead that more intense.

Students had to register online to participate in this event. However, there are some rogue participants joining in the fun. Also with this event, students who are labeled as “humans” must partake in nightly missions to ensure their survival. Some of these missions include scavenging for food and other supplies. The missions run pretty late from 8 pm to possibly 12 am. The zombie craze is spreading rather rapidly from all of the recent movies and television shows. If one has been “infected” by this craze, this Stockton event is the anecdote.  So grab your friends, your family, some Nerf bullets and socks, and prepare yourself for the Stockton zombie apocalypse.

Thursday, September 19^th,  was the opening day of one of Stockton’s most prestigious intermural sports, flag football. This intense version of football is a fast-paced sport with great competition and even greater intensity. Countless teams formed rather quickly and went to the required meetings for the club. Some specific teams to look out for on the field include the Gotham Rogues, the “?” team, Grandma’s boys, the Good Team, and Team ‘Merica. Relationships among fellow teammates are beginning to form, and the hunger for victory is overtaking every team in the league.

This version of football is played on a smaller field with differing rules from that of regular football. The game is fast-paced and extremely entertaining to play and watch. Thursday, September 19, was the first preseason day for many of the teams in the league. This gave some of the newer teams the time to understand the game and adapt to it to the best of their abilities. This intermural sport is a great way for new friendships to be formed, great for students to experience something different the college has to offer, and most importantly it is great for forming long-lasting memories for the future. College is the time to live life independently, to earn a quality education, and to make new friendships and memories. Flag football is a great way to take complete advantage of what Stockton College has to offer, which was demonstrated clearly during the opening preseason day on Thursday, September 19^th.
