The basic premise of “On the Verge,” written by Eric Overmeyer, directed by CSUN’s James De Paul and playing through Nov. 5, can be difficult to grasp at times but fortunately it is a play meant to be individually interpreted.

There were more than 5,000 people at Big Show this year, as compared to 2,100 last year, and the individuals involved at Associated Students’ division of Student Production and Campus Entertainment are extremely proud. This year’s Big Show provided many firsts for the on-campus concert series.

The California Faculty Association has reached an impasse in the contract negotiations with the California State University and is now readying for the state to appoint mediators to help them reach an agreement by rallying and educating the public.

The play “On the Verge,” written by Eric Overmeyer, begins Oct. 20 and should be a breath of fresh air for television and movie addicts. According to director and professor James De Paul, this play engages the imaginations through witty wordplay with popular culture overtones.

For the November elections, the Associated Students has distributed their first batch of cards advertising the slogan “I Vote I Won” to get students aware and interested, but they have recently gotten a complaint that the hands on the card do not do an adequate job of representing the diverse student population.

On Oct. 10, the open forum portion of the Associated Students Senate meeting lasted more than an hour as students voiced their opinions, fears and frustrations over the finance committee’s decision to recommend $0 after hearing the African Student Organization’s proposal for the annual African Week.
