Students and professors demonstrated their skills at throwing an atlatl, the oldest projectile system ever developed, on Wednesday as part of CSUN’s Anthro Expo. The atlatl was still in use in North America when the Spanish arrived in 1540. They were dismayed to find their breastplates penetrable against the obsidian points fastened to the long shafts.

Taylor Zagnoli is a senior in the Communications Department at CSUN. Last semester he read the poem “Final Girl,” and he found he could not let go of it when he got to the end. He later did a performance piece based on the poem that deals with female characterizations in pop genre, particularly in horror films.
