Eileen Mansoorian May 6, 2008
Sex can be mind blowing, the ultimate form of stress relief and the best way to show your significant other how much you love them. When two people are getting to know each other, they usually like to know early on where the other lies on the matter of pre-marital sex.

Bigger breasts do not lead to bigger opportunities in life

What good is it to buy a large sectional sofa if you live in a studio apartment? This idea translates into every aspect of life, particularly the subject I am tackling today: Breast augmentation. Flip the pages of any magazine or tune in to any entertainment show, and you can see an array of silicone implants on many of Hollywood's leading ladies.

Back safety was the issue at hand during the "Be Right Back" event on April 10 at the Plaza del Sol. The event, which took place from noon to 2 p.m., brought to light a topic to which most students don't give much thought: The weight they carry in their backpacks.

Enough is enough: Recognize the Armenian genocide

Eileen Mansoorian April 23, 2008
After 93 years of fighting for recognition, there still seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Exactly 93 years ago today, soldiers from the Ottoman Empire were given orders to execute high-ranking males of the Armenian community in Constantinople.

Romantic comedies a perfect solution to gloomy day

Eileen Mansoorian April 22, 2008
Out of all the genres of films, the one that is near and dear to my heart is the romantic comedy. You get the laugh out loud moments along with the tearjerker scenes that make you wish you were the object of the lead actor's affection. It seems like a new romantic comedy comes out in theaters every Friday, but amongst most of the flops are five films that have made it into my romantic comedy hall of fame.

Airbrushing should be a technique of the past for magazines

Eileen Mansoorian April 19, 2008
It turns out I can look like a supermodel with the click of a mouse. A little more definition in the cheeks, shrink the waist by five inches, and lets not forget about the butt! Add a healthy glow to my skin so it looks like I came from an exotic South American country and I'm almost at digital perfection.

One sex educator is on a mission to educate college students in a lecture titled, "The J-Spot: A Sex Educator Tells All," which he presented March 27 at the University Student Union's Northridge Center.

Are you related to Obama or Hillary?

Eileen Mansoorian March 28, 2008
It seems the current race to the White House has turned into another way to add the element of celebrity to public officials. Instead of utilizing investigative efforts on issues such as the war, news outlets are reporting on the genealogical connections between presidential candidates and celebrities.

War still stirs anger five years later

Eileen Mansoorian March 26, 2008
I was in San Francisco last Wednesday when I saw an elderly man walking around holding a tree branch with a President Bush doll hanging from it by a noose. This was his way of protesting the war in Iraq on its five year anniversary. I had been in San Francisco for spring break and had lost track of the days.

Has old-fashioned dating morphed into only hooking up?

Eileen Mansoorian March 25, 2008
It used to be that when a man was interested in a woman he would ask her out on a date. All that has changed. From my experiences, along with those of my friends, I have realized that many people are skipping the traditional dinner date and heading straight to the backseat.

‘Penelope’ touts whimsical fairy-tale of acceptance and love

Eileen Mansoorian March 4, 2008
As we grow up, we tend to let go of the fairy tale genre. The big-budget films with their elaborate story lines catch our eye and make us forget about the magical world of fantasy. With the change in movies comes the change in the traditional fairy tale.
