California is finally taking the constant abuse of disabled placards more seriously as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law implementing higher consequences for violators. This is only the first step toward eliminating the problem though. The truth is, searching for an open disabled parking spot takes patience and persistence today as so many people abuse this privilege on a regular basis. The problem has not improved in many areas of Los Angeles County. It is right in front of us,… Read more

Yesterday students gathered outside of the Oviatt Library to raise awareness about the Deaf community and audism. Audism is “the hearing way of dominating, restructuring, and exercising authority over the Deaf community.” Students and faculty got together to inform the CSUN community of the deaf culture around the world and that American Sign Language (ASL) should be treated as any other language. The overall attitude of those that gathered was hopeful that the Deaf community will be treated and understood… Read more

Madeline Wolff Contributing reporter At any given point in time, the world, and our country in particular, is in crisis mode. The particular crises vary significantly and are often elevated by the media and our own paranoia to the point of being ridiculous. Medical outbreaks have been a serious contributor to this worldwide crisis mode for a very long time, including everything from SARS to Mad Cow Disease to the new and improved H1N1 virus — the outbreak of today….

Dear Bullfighters, American society is a mass of adult babies who want the future to spoon-feed them, coddle them, rock them to sleep, and pay their bills. It is time to wake up, children, take out the pacifier, climb out of the crib, rip off the diaper, fling its fecal contents right into the unblinking eye of this blatant façade of a properly functioning educational system, and give it pinkeye. Soon, in The Game of Life, along the highway during… Read more

Dear Editor, I am a student in a COMS 356 class with two deaf students.  Throughout this semester these students have been without an interpreter for five out of the 12 class meetings.  I have watched their frustration and emotions overwhelm them to the point of walking out of class in tears.  This makes me feel guilty. As a hearing student that I am able to keep up with the curriculum and they are falling behind at no fault of… Read more

It seems every time a new study comes out asserting some mediocre observation about our society, we tend to latch onto the results as evidence to justify and explain away all of our suspicions or fears about a particular subject or group. “The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness,” a new study conducted by Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers has made quite the splash on the op-ed pages of the Los Angeles Times, New York Times and countless feminist and anti-feminist… Read more

Look to your left. No, behind you. No, in front of you. They’re everywhere: the rampant stream of the paparazzi’s celebrity photos all vying for our attention from the checkout stands of the most rundown minute marts to the shelves of the mega-chain bookstores. We are bombarded and forced to take notice (some more reluctantly than others) to the ever-growing work of the paparazzi. But can their photos be considered photojournalism? No way. Not  a chance. Ever since photojournalism really… Read more

Last month, the “Blow job” article squirmed its way into the Daily Sundial, grabbing the attention of students and faculty all around CSUN campus. The negative reactions that have spiraled out from this may have to do with the article’s lack of clear intentions, important statistics and useful facts helpful to sexually-active college students. The author of the opinionated article spoke of her literal distaste for oral sex quite openly in regards to her experiences with her boyfriend of over… Read more
