I find it quite funny that the Pacific Tigers, team the Matadors beat enroute to the NCAA Tournament, are still playing. Their season hasn’t ended and they’ve actually just made the Collegeinsider.com Tournament’s semifinals. Pacific defeated Idaho, 69-59, at the Spanos Center. Idaho also beat CSUN earlier this season. It must be a weird feeling having celebrated Senior Day and then showing up two weeks later for yet another home game.
With Big West Conference play coming up in a few days, the CSUN baseball team (9-12) strung together some much-needed wins over the weekend at Matador Diamond as they took three of four games from Columbia (2-15).
The men’s basketball season was a resounding success. The Matadors won the Big West and qualified to the NCAA Tournament. For their efforts, which brought national attention to a little-known San Fernando Valley commuter school, we pay them recognition.
Every Sunday there is a drum circle at Griffith Park near Crystal Springs Drive past the first sign directing guests towards the merry-go-round. People from all walks of life gather under large trees to play traditional African and Cuban drums such as congas, tom-tom drums, timbales, small percussion, cow bells, shakers and cabasas from noon until sundown.
Christine Leal, 28, has been playing the drums since she was 4-years-old. She said she especially enjoys drums because of ‘the way they talk to each other.’ To her, the instruments played back and forth become dialogue between drummers and their instruments.
‘ Tony Gilroy of the ‘Bourne Trilogy’ debuts his second director/writer initiative since the Oscar-winning ‘Michael Clayton.’ As a crime/spy romance, ‘Duplicity’ deals with Gilroy’s trademark theme: the elusiveness of truth. Deceit, a common thread in many romantic-comedies, weaves perfectly with a con story of two corporate spies looking to land the big payoff. ‘Duplicity,’ the most implausibly honest love story, exudes wit and charm while still imparting Gilroy’s notorious third-act surprise.
‘
Friends should not gossip about each other. If they do, rest assured ‘- the friendship is in trouble.
Georg Buchner’s ‘Woyzeck’ explores man’s endurance and tests limits. CSUN’s performance of ‘Woyzeck’ is a dark musical ballet, which comments on the nature of man, modern medicine and the effects of poverty. Director J’amie Morrison, takes us on an introspective ride into Woyzeck’s psychosis.
Health care is a right for everyone. It shouldn’t be considered a privilege based on class rank.’ The fact that the United States is the only industrialized country in the world that doesn’t guarantee access to health care as a right of citizenship is a disgrace.
Even though it wasn’t noon yet the walls of the Pub were packed wall to wall with people. Despite it being hard to move the campus community was yelling and cheering in excitement for the men’s basketball team as they played the first round in the NCAA Tournament.
