Campus Movie Fest is here

Katie Christiansen September 23, 2008

For those who dream of being the next Spielberg, Scorsese, Hitchcock or Coen, the financing of their sure-to-be breakthrough films can often lead to headaches and heartbreaks. More simply put, movies cost money. Between cameras, lighting, editing software and a surely unending list of extras, the cost to make even a short film is often times insurmountable to an aspiring filmmaker.

?El Estudio? is honest and compelling

Katie Christiansen September 23, 2008

This weekend I experienced a heartbreak, suspicion, love, despair, embarrassment, and redemption, all for less than the cost of a movie. Some may think it crazy to pay for such feelings, and I'd agree, but to witness this gamut of human emotions second-hand is worth much more than the cost of admission to the CSUN theatre department's newest offering.

CSUN loses to Arizona in double-overtime

Michael Harrington September 23, 2008

The Matadors (5-3-0) jumped out to a first half lead, but couldn't hold on as they fell to the Wildcats 2-1 in double-overtime Sunday in Arizona.

The ?Spore?-adic sense of being a god; absolute creation and fun destruction

William Mosshammer September 23, 2008

An icy comet streams through space, past a bright yellow star and toward an ocean-covered planet. The comet collides with the planet's atmosphere, breaking into tiny shards and falling into the ocean. From out of the shards a tiny primitive life form emerges.

Simple and sometimes complex Jason Reeves is worth a listen

Andrew Fingerett September 23, 2008

Jason Reeves' album 'The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache: And Other Frightening Tales' is an enjoyable but dichotomous work of art that oscillates between structural depth and lyrical superficiality.

Oviatt library offers many services to students

Marla Schevker September 23, 2008

A few months ago Librarian Lynn Lampart went to see a movie in a huge theater. She couldn't find a seat and an usher who had taken a library instruction session with her two years prior saw her and recognized her.

Everyone’s riding a bicycle

Alonso Tacanga September 22, 2008

So I know that everyone's biking nowadays, specially with gas still being a bit pricey, but I was a bit surprised to see a big-time CSUN athlete riding one today. I was walking back from Burger King (Just...

Matador statue plan brought back to life

William Mosshammer September 22, 2008

Associated Students is reviving a plan to erect a statue of CSUN'S mascot, the madator, on campus. The original project was put on the backburner after the Northridge earthquake.

Nowhere to go but up, right?

Emin Avakian September 22, 2008

It's hard not to think back to the 2002 season. That team started the season winning four of its first six games, but faltered and finished the season below .500. It also happened to be the first year Jeff Stork took reigns as head coach of the Northridge women's volleyball team.

CSUN turns 50 today

Andrew Fingerett September 22, 2008

CSUN originally began as San Fernando Valley State College in 1958 and was changed to California State University, Northridge in 1972. Today's events are serving as a launching point designed to celebrate CSUN's 50-year anniversary.

Late Night Eats do Exist in the Valley

Chelsea Cody and Lilianna Oust September 22, 2008

Now, for some the definition of comfort food falls along the lines of a boiling cup of ramen noodles or the occasional toaster strudel. However, there are alternatives to be found, and not just in Los Angeles. The valley offers several great options for late-night grub.

Alonso Tacanga September 22, 2008

Matador forward Moy Gomez seemed smug during a practice last week when he said CSUN would put up 'at least two goals' against an unbeaten team with a defense that had only allowed one goal in six games. Those just usually aren't the kinds of things one says when his team's on a two-game losing streak.
