The large recital hall that the Northridge Singers congregate in is more like a small auditorium. Before their practice begins, the sound that fills the room is the normal pre-class chatter of students discussing how their weekends went and how their week is going.

No doubt about it, we are adults. We're not even young adults. We're simply - adults. We drive, we vote (or at least we can), we work, we pay bills, and do lots more adult stuff. We also get our feelings hurt, don't we? Even though we are not children anymore and we're not afforded the same consideration that children are, do not suppose that we are now resilient to mean people.

The CSUN Black Student Union and campus officials are looking to raise awareness about health issues with African-American students. The BSU created a pamphlet to inform students about the dangers of diabetes, high blood pressure, sickle cell disease, cancer, HIV/AIDS and STDs to African-Americans.
