Sticks and stones . . . but words will never hurt me

William Kammer December 15, 2006
Imagine a society where we are not allowed to talk about the president. We can't talk about abortion or war. Because of the fear of offending people or the fear of a violent uprising, we don't talk about politics, and there is no way we could possibly talk about religion.

The real meaning of ghetto

OnTay Johnson December 15, 2006
Last week I was riding with a friend and his wife and they were talking about Halloween. She was upset because there were not any kids that came to their apartment for candy. Her husband laughed and said that she thinks the neighborhood they live in is ghetto.

Matadors sweep Xavier, lose to UNLV

Debby von Winckelmann December 15, 2006
The CSUN women's volleyball team split its two matches in the UNLV Invitational Tournament held at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Sept. 8 through Sept. 9. The Matadors opened up Sept. 8 with a win over the Xavier Musketeers, but fell short against their host, UNLV Rebels, on Sept.

Game for the Ages: CSUN scores 159 points

Ivan Yeo December 15, 2006
If you want to know how unbelievable Wednesday's 159 point game was, here are a few facts: CSUN scored 73 points, all by the first half, and not only shattered its highest single-game point total, which was 123 against U.S. International on Dec.

Of a walk across the road . . .

Maliha Jafri December 15, 2006
Originally Published Sept. 7, 2006 We decided it was time we had nice fish fries and curry for lunch that afternoon and so we started on our quest. The air conditioner in the car wheezed, unsuccessfully trying to suck out all that heat from within. It was when I was adjusting the vent of the AC that I saw her, an old lady not more than a little bundle of bones, sitting at a very busy intersection reaching out to the sea of people walking around her in a silent plea to help her cross the road.

Starting professor pay varies greatly at CSUs

Daniel Harju December 15, 2006
Entry-level salaries for tenure-track professors in different disciplines at CSUN vary by as much as $30,000, the 2005-2006 salary report suggests, a trend that reflects market forces largely outside of the university's control. Accounting, business, economics and mechanical engineering are among the highest paying disciplines, whereas faculty in the humanities and ethnic studies programs are among the lowest paid.

HE’S GOT A TICKET TO RIDE

Esha Momeni December 15, 2006
Drew DeCaro is difficult to capture on film without a guitar. He always seems to have one with him, so it's hard to imagine him otherwise. In his final year at CSUN, the twenty-three-year-old Jazz Studies major commits himself to his role as musical director, lead guitarist, bartender, event promoter, entrepreneur, teacher and actor (the last talent could be debated, he says) with the same fervor which manages his upcoming 19 credit Spring semester.

Let’s talk about Iraq, since no one really wants to

Daniel Harju December 15, 2006
Originally Published Nov. 2, 2006 The political season is upon us and the war in Iraq has become the major midterm election issue as the Republican Party fights to keep control over both the House and the Senate. In September, 2,600 Iraqis were killed in Baghdad alone, while Democrats and Republicans used the war to attack each other and score points with voters.

Matadors humiliate conference rival 5-0

Ivan Yeo December 15, 2006
Originally Published October 2, 2006 The CSUN men's soccer team continued to make Matador Soccer Field the house of horrors for Big West Conference nemesis UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 27. The Matadors jumped on the Gauchos early and often. The Matadors scored three goals in the first half and refused to let up, attempting 16 shots on goal in the second half.

Going Pro

Dennis Mahan December 15, 2006
Taylor Canel, senior midfielder and co-captain of the 2006 CSUN men's soccer team, can't think of many things he loves more than playing soccer. It's the reason why he transferred to CSUN. He played at UCLA during his first two years in college, but he wasn't getting enough playing time.

Future of U.S. soccer still looks uncertain

Oscar Areliz December 15, 2006
The U.S. is always among the best in most of the major sports. This country has the world's respect in their professional sports leagues, such as MLB, NBA NHL and the NFL. This country also produces some of the best and most talented athletes, but it is not enough to produce great soccer players.

Matadors win shootout against Pepperdine

Ivan Yeo December 15, 2006
Turns out playing Redlands was a huge benefit to the Cal State Northridge men's basketball team while playing Pepperdine. The Matadors faced the advanced version of the "press-n-shoot" system used by the Waves Saturday afternoon at the Matadome. The game lived up to its billing in terms of a high-scoring shootout, but the Matadors still came out with the one thing they really wanted: a win, as CSUN held off a feisty Waves squad 95-92 at the Matadome.
