Get ready for an exotic experience once you enter the two red doors of Marrakesh restaurant in Studio City. The intimate atmosphere inside sets the mood for a romantic Moroccan dinner date with décors like oil lamps, tasseled curtains, plush pillows and mosaic tables.

The dinner starts off with washing your hands with… Read more

Surfers have a reputation for caring about our beaches and getting involved with organizations like the Surfriders Foundation, which keeps tabs on those who pollute our oceans. With the respect they seem to have for the earth, it was hard to believe that the surfboards that most use to catch the waves are a threat to the environment and peoples’ health. The New York Times article “Surf’s Up, Waste Down” states that surf boards made out of new foam are… Read more

Christopher Hayden, a 28-year-old junior marketing major, sat on his couch with his dog’s head resting in his lap; his iconic piece hanging on the wall above him, with the flecks diamond dust twinkling in the sunlight. “I really, honestly never expected to do art. I always liked it, I always did it as a hobby … it was… Read more

There’s a reason I’m still single. Yes, single. I’ve actually dated more than I’ve been in a serious relationship. Not being tied to a single significant other has its benefits, but also major downsides. The thing is, I know exactly what the problem is, and I’ve been working to correct it for the longest time. It’s been more than difficult, though, because the problem is me. Hear that guys? A girl admitting that she is the problem. Revel in it… Read more

What was being billed as the ‘rivalry of the decade’ by NBC between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts was played Sunday night at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

CSUN will play Cal Poly first, which currently holds a similar record, 8-20 overall and 4-11 in conference…. Read more
