A 31-year-old Houston man left a movie theater more than 10 years ago disillusioned. The movie had not yet finished, but the injustice he witnessed was too much to bear. Batman and Robin were wearing rubber nipples.

Six minutes of a highly anticipated summer blockbuster played before IMAX screenings of 2007′s “I am Legend” The six minutes showed thugs in clown masks robbing a mob-owned bank. As soon as one thug serves his role in the heist, another thug guns him down, and so on.

A 31-year-old Houston man left a movie theater more than 10 years ago disillusioned. The movie had not yet finished, but the injustice he witnessed was too much to bear. Batman and Robin were wearing rubber nipples. Bill Ramey looked at the silver screen as Batman used politically correct terms, carried a credit card in his utility belt and, if that was not enough, he was smiling.

George W. Bush is the president of what country? How many U.S. states are there? It was apparently as simple as answering secret password questions like these to hack into the personal network account of a student or faculty member last semester. CSUN students Lena Chen, 20, and Jennifer Ngan, 19, are charged with infiltrating the campus account of a political science professor late last May, changing their grades and those of about 300 classmates.

While many CSUN students were enjoying summer days away from the joy and toils of university life, their financial future may have become far more difficult in the course of a single day. For many, college became dramatically more expensive. That fateful day having come and gone, those who failed to consolidate student loans have to pay higher interest on loans borrowed before July 1.

A CSUN alumnus who built a manufacturing empire by making his own machine parts was indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for evading $20 million in taxes and intimidating a federal agent who was investigating the case. Gene Haas, who maintains his innocence, is currently working with his lawyers to prepare a defense against the charges and is scheduled in court next January.

Not many CSUN students know that when they walk through Bayramian Hall’s doors to pay their fees that they are entering a building with a violent history. “Unrest: Founding of the CSUN Chicano Studies Program” is a student documentary which premieres today, shows how police beat up students in Bayramian Hall 37 years ago who were demanding that more black and Chicano students like them be admitted to the university and that classes about their histories be instituted.

There were not enough seats in the University Student Union’s Sol Center last Wednesday for CSUN students, professors and alumni who came to see the premiere of “Unrest: The Development of the CSUN Chicano/a Studies Department,” a documentary about how black and Chicano/a students in the late 1960s fought for equal representation on campus and curriculums about their histories.
