CFA strike for salary increaseAnthony CArpioDaily SuNDial
“We’re all part of the same thing”
After talks with the CSU and hold-ing an informational picket at all 23 CSU campuses, CFA President Lillian Taiz rallied about 80 faculty mem-bers and students to hold a one-day strike against money mismanagement at CSU Dominguez Hills Thursday.
“We are here to protect middle-class jobs, we’re here to ensure that our students become middle class and we’re all under attack,” Taiz said. “We’re under attack by folks who believe that they are part of some special group, some 1 percent that includes the chancellor and unfortu-nately some of the folks on the board of trustees. They are obsessed with the presidents and their executives, and they are hiring for incredible amounts of money.”
Taiz compared the faculty mem-bers on strike to Occupy protesters across the globe, saying that they are tired with Chancellor Charles Reed not giving the CFA what they want.
“It’s really important for us to be out here and make our voices heard and be part of the voice of the 99 percent. We’re all part of the same thing,” she said.
Though the strike only lasted for one day, Taiz said it is likely that anoth-er strike will be held next semester.
“Well if we don’t get heard, then it keeps going. We are hoping that the chancellor will be reasonable, hoping that he will refocus his priorities to pay attention to needs of the folks in the trenches, but if not we’ll just keep going,” she said. “He’s using students, faculty and staff like they’re ATMs. (Wednesday) they raised student fees another 9 percent. How far can this go?”
“Quality of education”
Nate Thomas, CTVA professor and president of the CFA chapter at CSUN, arrived on the CSU Domin-guez Hills campus at 6 a.m.
“This campus is closed today. There are no classes at Cal State Dominguez Hills today,” Thomas said. “Unfortu-nately, it’s a concerted action that is disrupting the normal operation of the system, and that’s what we have to do to get their attention in Long Beach at the chancellor’s office.”
Thomas had a list of items he wanted to see fixed by the CSU.
“We hope to get a contract. We hope to get treated with respect. We hope for them to stop playing games. We’d hope they’d stop misusing the funds and lining their pockets for all their administrators and start putting the money back into the classrooms,” he said. “We would hope that this would end today, I know I would, that we can go on and teach and just move on. Nobody wants to do this. Nobody is happy about having to do a strike.”
Thomas was accompanied by a dozen or so CSUN professors, who took the time to support their fellow CSU professors across the state.
“Canceling classes was not an easy thing to do”
“I think it’s unfortunate that a lot of salary increases have been to persons who are not integrally involved in the classroom,” said Charles Walker, a speech professor at CSU Dominguez Hills. “Teaching is a very demanding profession and I really don’t think (the faculty) were asking beyond that which is deserved.”
Walker was put in a difficult situa-tion when the CFA decided to hold the

Third Annual Campus Clothing and Food Drive Volunteers beat last years record, but overall goal was not metAndres AguilADaily SuNDial
Thanks to volunteers and donors, Unified We Serve beat last year’s total number of collected items during the Third Annual Cam-pus Clothing and Food Drive.
In spite of this achievement, however, the program’s set goal of 30,000 items was not met during the two-week charity event.
Around 16,000 cans, books,
clothes and toys were rounded up during the event, which drew 1,000 items more than last year’s total of 15,000.
The items collected will go to the Meet Each Need with Dignity (MEND), a Pacoima-based non-profit organization that serves over 31,000 individuals per month.
Some of the items were displayed on the Oviatt Library steps Thursday afternoon.
The items were scheduled to be on display for 24 hours on Wednes-
day afternoon, but was cancelled due to weather conditions.
The display was intended “to show CSUN students the impact they themselves have on the com-munity,” said journalism major Talar Alexanian, the program’s events assistant.
As volunteers placed items on the steps, people came by to drop off last-minute donations and others stopped to take a look or capture a

strike on his campus.“I was in a dilemma,
because (students) pay for classes and then you cancel classes, but the big picture is for the student because we are employed by the student,” he said. “So if this overall objec-tive is to get better pay and better quality, it assists the stu-dents and the faculty at the same time. Canceling classes was not an easy thing to do.”
“I’m getting a little tired and a little discouraged
by the treatment that the lecturers get”
Making his way up north with other faculty members from San Diego State Univer-sity, Alex Farnsley, a film pro-fessor, was fed up by the CSU’s mistreatment of faculty.
“I’m the guy that gets cut one semester, comes back and teaches two classes with two-week’s notice and gets cut the next semester. So I’ve really been bounced around a lot,” he said. “I enjoy (teaching), but I’m getting a little tired and a little discouraged by the treat-ment that the lecturers get.”
Finding himself either as a full-time or part-time lecturer, Farnsley has been affected by the decisions made by the CSU and San Diego State.
“When I did have a one-year contract, one semester into it, they claimed that the budget cuts were necessary for them to cut me. Now they’re starting to have graduate students teaching classes,” he said
Though Farnsley took his time to make the trip from San Diego, he fears the strike will not be enough.
“The things that are going on at Berkley and at Harvard are good indications. I think it’s
going to spread, I expect, par-ticularly late in the spring when the election heats up. It’ll really grow and that’s when I think it’s going to make some kind of difference.”
“It’s just kind of disgusting”
It wasn’t just faculty mem-bers lining the streets in front of CSU Dominguez Hills. Stu-dents from the campus united with their professors to voice their thoughts.
“I understand that there’s hard times right now, but it’s a little bit of a slap to the
face when you say there’s hard times and you see the misman-agement of money,” said Shaun Sanders, a business manage-ment major at CSU Domin-guez Hills. “There seems to be a lot of slack that could be given to sort of rectify things, but instead of talking about it and trying to find a consensus, you just have them telling the teachers no and putting them off for a few years and we’ll give ourselves raises. It’s just kind of disgusting.”
Janelle Freeman, a kinesi-ology major at CSU Domin-guez Hills, was happy to see that her professors were
taking action.“I hope that the people high
up will see that the students and the faculty are serious about this. They can’t just keep doing this for years and years.
Sanders thought it was refreshing to see many peo-ple on his campus protesting against the same issue.
“Everyone kind of knows that there’s an issue, but to really see people come together like this, it’s nice because it shows that there is support,” he said. “Overall, I would hope that the administration would feel a little bit of shame that this is what it’s come to.”

shows that people actually care,” said Juan Gonsalez, freshman criminal justice major. “Seeing it, I wish I could have given more.”
There were many loca-tions around campus where anyone could have dropped off items in labeled trash-cans, two drive-thru drop-off locations in parking areas, and three big con-tainers.
“People would feel bad about just donating one item, but every little thing counts,” Alexanian said.
Alyssa Clark, sophomore journalism major, was one of the drive’s volunteers.
“Honestly, I felt like I never really helped out or made an impact on anyone’s life,” Clark said. “Being part of Unified We Serve – I feel like I’ve made an impact, even in the slightest way.”
Dormitories, campus departments, and student clubs and organizations also participated in the food and clothing drive, a tactic, Alexanian said, that was dif-ferent from previous years.
“We headed out to a lot of different clubs and orga-nizations, departments and dorm buildings… definitely a unified and united effort,” Alexanian said.

CSUN’s veterans will get some love from the university in the form of a scholarship, the Mike Mahony Marine Corps Veteran’s Scholarship Fund, named in honor after the late Marine Corps veteran.
“We are really pleased to have a scholarship such as this focused on our students who have served in the military,” according to a news release from William Jennings, dean of the College of Business and Economics, the scholarship’s founding organization.
The endowment scholar-ship was created by CSUN and friends and family of Mahony, who died of cancer last year at age 64. Mahony served during the Vietnam War and was a graduate of CSUN’s College of Business and Economics accounting program.
The scholarship will award $2,500 a semester to an active-duty veteran of the Marine Corps working toward a busi-ness degree. Applicants must show academic aptitude, schol-arly activity, service to the com-
munity or personal achieve-ments to earn the money.
Merits don’t have to be aca-demic, as prospective students leaving the military can get rec-ommendations from their com-manding officers, said Associ-ate Dean Judith Hennessy.
Jan Mahony, Mahony’s wife and CSUN alumna, approached the school with the idea for a scholarship, said Matt Rinnert, director of development.
“It is very gratifying for our family to be able to honor Mike’s memory through this scholarship,” Jan Mahony said in a news release. “The U.S. Marine Corps and CSUN had such a positive impact on Mike’s ultimate success, and we look forward to assisting today’s Marine veterans who have given so much to our country.”
The goal was to help a Marine who is a business major, like Mike was, Rinnert said.
“It’s an incredible tribute to Mike and his impact on his fam-ilies and friends,” Rinnert said.
Applications for the spring semester are due Nov. 23., and can be submitted through Moodle on the Business and Economics departments schol-arship website.

This weekend’s first annu-al academic hip-hop conference, “LA Hip-Hop: Beyond Gangster Rap” attempted to bridge the gap between the negative por-trayals of the music genre and its beginnings as a grassroots form of self-expression.
The workshops and lectures served to show that not only can hip-hop fuel academic dia-logue through its history and intricacies, but also through the creative acts of actually making music, said CSUN Pan-African studies professor and Hip-Hop Think Tank faculty advisor Anthony Ratcliff
“There’s different ways of learning,” he said. “If you can bring the culture into the acade-my, that’s what education should be.”
The conference was orga-nized by students and faculty members of CSUN’s Hip-Hop Think Tank.
Two hour-long breakout ses-sions encouraged participants to look past the promotion of drugs, money and women in mainstream media and focus on
the complexities of hip-hop.“We want to expose the cam-
pus community to the fullness of hip-hop,” Ratcliff said. “Hip-hop is a lot more creative and diverse.”
The event was kicked off by a brief history of hip-hop and its roots in activism by graduate student Ayk Terjimanian.
“It’s not about sitting back,” Terjimanian said of hip-hop. “It’s about performing, partici-pating and getting involved.”
Four elements made up hip-hop when it was first finding its identity, Terjimanian said. They were graffiti art, the birth of the DJ, B-boys and B-girls, or breaking, and the MC-rapper, all of which were covered in two hour-long sessions of speaker panels and workshops.
“The foundations of hip hop are peace, unity, love and having fun,” Terjimanian said.
During the first breakout ses-sion, attendees had the option of sitting in on panels discussing activism, hip-hop, health and sustainability, or industry basics.
“You have to be consistent. You’re building a fan base,” hip-hop manager Chris London said during the Hip-Hop Industry 101 panel. “The people have to trust you’re going to keep pro-ducing good music.”
Attendees could join panels on gender and sexuality in hip-hop or underground hip-hop, or learn how to break, or what
it takes to successfully create beats.
Dr. Malina Abdulah of CSU Los Angeles spoke directly to the claim that hip-hop objectifies women during the gender and sexuality panel.
“I think those are relevant statements for corporate-con-trolled hip-hop,” Abdulah said. “It’s used to program you to think a certain way.”
Groups, such as TLC, were vital to give women positive, strong-willed artists to look up to using hip-hop as the medium, she said.
“It’s a way to voice our dis-content,” Abdula said. “It’s the voice of our generation.”
Producer Quinton Johnson and rapper Bryson Wallace showed students and faculty how to create music starting with their own ideas.
“It’s not just about cars, girls, clothes,” Wallace said. “It’s the beauty of it, music that makes you nod your head.”

has overpopulation affected your family planning?
As the world grows, there are less resources for each person. the costs of education are still rising, and the future is looking bleak for jobs and resources. in reality, when students graduate they aren’t guaranteed good jobs and enough disposable income to support a child.
How have these diminishing resources affected your family planning? Are you being more careful about using contraceptives? Are you deciding to wait longer before having kids? Do you want to adopt instead? Will you instead live without kids?
Joelle KatzDAily SuNDiAl
the world population is growing at a rapid speed and while America may not yet feel the impact of the earth’s overpopulation, many other countries are losing resourc-es and lack basic needs.
As of Oct. 31, the world is now home to seven billion people.
Every time we turn on the television, we see a com-mercial, or several, asking us to donate money to some third-world country where children don’t have access to schools, food or even clean water. Is this the case of a poor nation or rather the effects of overpopulation? Maybe the best answer to this problem would be the spread of birth control.
According to National Geographic, these areas have the greatest popula-tion growth, which in turn results in limited resources available to those in need. The world’s fastest growing population is in Africa.
“Nearly three-fifths of the 4.8 billion people in develop-ing countries lack basic sani-tation, almost a third have no access to clean water, a quarter lack adequate hous-ing, and a fifth lack access to modern health services,” states National Geographic’s website on overpopulation.
At the beginning of time, the world was created with an exact amount of resourc-es, which cannot be identi-cally replicated by man, such
as water.According to World Pop-
ulation Awareness, “We are now using between 1.2 and 1.5 planets worth of resourc-es that can be sustainably supported. Before mid-cen-tury we will need the capac-ity of two Earths to keep up with our level of demand.”
In 1900, there were just under two billion people liv-ing on earth and somehow, we as a people managed to grow that number by more than 300 percent in just over a hundred years.
According to the Popu-lation Reference Bureau (PRB), 6.5 percent of the 108 billion people who were ever born are living today. That number might seem small at first glance, but think about it for a minute, that’s 6.5 percent of everyone since 50,000 B.C.
The problem of over-population seems to have a strong correlation to global warming with humans using more than what the Earth can provide for them.
We have all heard of ways to save the Earth, in fact, “going green” has become the new fashion trend as well as preserving the Earth’s goods. “Green is the new black,” as they say. Howev-er, even with everyone using a limited amount of water or other natural resources, there will eventually come a time when there just isn’t enough to go around.
But it takes more than just going green to change this effect of overpopulation on Earth. The problem also
lies in the effects of poverty; nearly half of the world’s population lives on less than two dollars a day, according to PRB.
So what do we do, put a regulation on how many children each woman or cou-ple can have? That seems highly unlikely and pretty much impossible without physically controlling each woman’s egg count.
While PRB’s President Wendy Baldwin has said that population growth has declined to 1.2 percent per year, it still isn’t slow enough. This number means the human population is still growing rather than staying the same.
Rather than sending money over to these third-world countries for only food (which of course is important), they should also invest in birth control.
Not only would birth con-trol help to slow the popula-tion growth rate, but it can also help to prevent the high rate for infant deaths in those countries.
Less than 5 percent of people in most countries in Africa use contracep-tives according to the U.S. National Library of Medi-cine and the National Insti-tutes of Health.
If this number was higher and more people were aware of the benefits of birth con-trol, and it was accessible to them, it would help everyone and the planet overall.
According to the Inter-national Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF), “Pro-
moting birth control in Afri-ca faces a host of obstacles – patriarchal customs, reli-gious taboos, ill-equipped public-health systems – but experts also cite a powerful, more distant force: the U.S. government.”
Under President George W. Bush, billions of dollars were given to Africa to help their struggle with AIDS, however, he prohibited its use toward family planning services, according to IPPF.
An example of how well family planning and contra-ceptives can work for the problem with population appears in our very own home.
In 1972, the Supreme Court legalized birth control for all United States citizens. Since then, the population growth rate in the U.S. has gone down significantly.
If we can find a way to bring our knowledge and access to birth control to everyone on the planet, we can help slow the rates of population growth over time.
As the population increases, resources are becoming more scarce

points of the match as the astounded Mustangs (12-17, 7-9) called for time.
Cal Poly eventually settled down and drew within 17-15. Stork’s subsequent timeout was all CSUN needed, how-ever, as the Matadors hit the Mustangs back with an 8-2 run to finish the frame with a 25-17 win. Cal Poly hit .290 in the set, but was outdone by Northridge’s .385.
Hot as they were, the Mat-adors came out even hotter in the second set and dominated Cal Poly behind Siljegovic’s five kills and a team hit-ting of .406. CSUN used a 10-5 run to turn a one-point advantage into a 23-17 lead.
Haina also had five of her 11 game-total kills in the frame. Her last one finished off the Mustangs as the Mat-adors won 25-21 and took a 2-0 lead into intermission.
CSUN looked impenetrable.“It’s isolation, passing,
serving that got (the Mus-tangs) out of system,” said Stork of the Matadors’ domi-nant performance. “It’s a combination of everything.”
CSUN continued to show its superiority in the final frame, and after a Siljegovic kill gave it a 24-16 lead, the team decided the last point of the match should be hers as well.
Siljegovic got turned back twice, but came through on
the third chance to finish up her and Orlandini’s memo-rable night.
“That was (Siljegovic’s) kill no matter what,” said CSUN middle blocker Casey Hinger, who had 11 kills and hit .500 for the game. “We knew she could get it down.”
The vote of confidence paid off for most of night. Siljegovic got the most looks at the ball (33) and hit .212.
The Matadors hit .328 for the night. Cal Poly, which was led by Jennifer Keddy's 16 kills, hit .252.
Stork gave Orlandini a lot of the credit for his team's offensive clicking, which allowed CSUN to snap a 12-game losing streak to Cal Poly.
“She kept good rhythm with the (outside hitters),” he said. “Obviously with the type of hitting percentage that we had, she distributed the ball well.”
Despite the blasting of the Mustangs being dubbed the farewell game for Orlandini and Siljegovic, CSUN still has one more non-confer-ence home game left Friday against Air Force.
Regardless of the out-come, the Matadors, who also got 11 kills from Natalie Allen, will have their best finish since the 2004 season.
“This is our first winning season in however many years and that’s amazing,” said Hinger, a freshman. “I’m so grateful to be a part of it.”

Davis split a pair of free throws at the 11-minute mark. They never looked back.
Davis finished with 12 points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field.
Redshirt senior center Regina Rogers and sophomore guard Mercedes Wetmore both added 17 points for Wash-ington. Fifteen of Wetmore’s points came in the second half.
CSUN’s biggest advantage came about midway through the first half when it was up 21-6. The lead dwindled due to a 9-0 run where the Huskies made five free throws and two jump-ers in a span of five minutes.
“We didn’t guard our man like the coaches told us to,” said junior forward Jianni Jackson. “We were scrambling and it caused us to foul a lot.”
The game was the last of a season-opening four-game road trip for the Matadors. CSUN also lost at Oregon State 83-63 Thursday as a smother-ing Beaver zone defense held the Matadors to 36.1 percent shooting for the game.
The Matadors will have their first home game of the season Friday at the Mat-adome. CSUN will face Col-gate at 7:30 p.m. The game will be part of CSUN's Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Basketball Classic.

led by freshman guard Janae Sharpe’s perfect shooting first half, the Matadors were up 35-25 at halftime against Washington as their defense forced 15 turnovers and held the Huskies to 27 percent shooting.
But the Matadors’ sec-ond-half defense allowed 48 points on 50 percent shooting as CSUN (2-2) lost its sec-ond game in a row, 73-67, in a tightly-called turnover-fest Saturday evening at the Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
“Plain and simple, we didn’t get stops,” CSUN head coach Jason Flowers said. “In the first half, we made them take tough, contested shots, but they were able to get to the rim and make open threes in the second half.”
The teams combined for 54 turnovers and 48 fouls, but CSUN’s mistakes turned out to be more costly as the Huskies (3-1) capitalized on the 26 foul calls in their favor by hitting 25 of 30 free throws compared to Northridge’s 16-of-22.
Washington also took advantage of the 29 Matador turnovers, outscoring CSUN 20-15 off those.
“In the second half, we start-ed to overthink things,” Flow-ers said. “Anytime we deviate from making the easy play, bad things like turnovers happen.”
“We also need to do a bet-ter job of keeping the other team off the free throw line,” he added. “It’s on us. We need to adapt to the way the game’s being called and go from there.”
As good as Sharpe’s first half was, she only put in two points on 1-of-3 shooting in the second period. Senior cen-ter Jasmine Erving’s double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds kept the Matadors alive as they tried to hold off the Huskies’ furious charge.
“(Sharpe) was active in the first half,” Flowers said. “But defensively, she went for a loose ball and came up limping afterwards.”
Freshman guard Ashlee Guay had a solid outing. She finished with seven points, seven rebounds and seven steals, bringing her total amount of steals for the season up to 20.
“Guay is scrappy and feisty,” Flowers said. “She plays extremely hard without fear, and she did a great job of clogging up the passing lanes. She’s had really good results to start the season.”
Washington trailed the majority of the second half, but it cut the lead to four quickly after freshman guard Jazmine Davis hit a 3-pointer with 15:09 left in the game.
Soon after, the Huskies earned their first lead when

W ith the game already in the bag late Sat-urday night, the Matadors’ focus shifted from “let’s get this over with” to “let’s have our seniors get this over with.”
Ahead 24-19 in the third set of its last Big West Conference game of the year against Cal Poly and having had its prior
two kill attempts blocked, CSUN took a timeout to set up a definitive senior-to-senior game-winner.
Setter Sam Orlandini lobbed it up for outside hitter Una Siljegovic, who rose high and decisively put the ball down, wrap-ping up a 3-0 Senior Night win and an almost-perfect finale to the players’ Mata-dor careers.
“Third time’s the charm,” Siljegovic said of her game-winning 12th
kill, a team-high. “I just kept hitting hard.”
The lob was Orlandini’s 45th assist of the night, which more than doubled Cal Poly’s leading assis-ter’s total (20 by Sarah Cawrse).
The Matadors (15-13, 9-7 Big West), who lost a heartbreaker the night before to UC Santa Bar-bara, finished in third place behind champion Long Beach State and the Gau-chos. It’s CSUN’s best sea-
son in seven years.“Third place in this con-
ference is a huge accom-plishment,” said CSUN head coach Jeff Stork.
From the very begin-ning, it was all Mata-dors on ceaseless attack mode. With Orlandini and Siljegovic starting in place of regulars Sydney Gedryn and Britney Graff respec-tively, CSUN came out fir-ing and scored the first six

Northridge embarrassed at Boise, off to 0-3 startgilberto maNzaNosports editor
With the Matadors having one of the youngest rosters in Division-I bas-ketball, it’s understandable if they have a couple rough outings to start the year, but what happened at Boise State Saturday afternoon was atrocious.
CSUN recorded its third straight loss to open the season after it was demol-ished by the Broncos 103-61 at Taco Bell Arena. It was Northridge’s tenth-worst defeat in school history.
Redshirt freshman guard Stephan Hicks continued his strong play with a career-high 23 points, topping his 22-point performance against Hawai’i from Tuesday night. Besides Hicks and Vinnie McGhee’s 13 points, no other Matador scored in double figures.
Sophomore forward Thomas Bropleh led the way for the Broncos (3-0) with a
career-high 20 points, 17 coming in the first half. Igor Hadziomerovic chipped in 18 points and Anthony Drmic added 14.
The Matadors (0-3) opened the game with a 6-0 advantage, but after the Bron-cos tied the game at 10, it was all down-hill for CSUN. Boise State went on a 20-2 run to take a 30-12 lead and went into the locker room up 48-24.
After allowing Hawai’i to hit 10 three-pointers, CSUN gave up 13 baskets from behind the arc to the Broncos.
The Matadors shot 22 of 51 from the field (43.1 percent), which is their best shooting percentage for a game this year.
Northridge has struggled on offense to start the season. Entering Saturday’s game, the Matadors were averaging a dismal 28.1 percent shooting percentage. CSUN also has yet to reach 70 points in a game, being held to 67 and 59 points against the Rainbow Warriors and USC respectively.
Sophomore guard Josh Greene, who
is expected to be a big scorer for CSUN this year, had another rough game on offense, going 1-of-6 for three points. Greene is 3-of-25 from the field so far this season.
CSUN’s starting point guard Aqeel Quinn still hasn’t seen the hardwood. He missed his third consecutive game with a quad injury.
The Matadors were outrebounded 27-5 to end the first half and finished the game with only 19 boards compared to the Broncos’ 44.
Boise State leads the all-time series against the Matadors 5-0. The last time the teams faced off was at the Matadome on Dec. 9, 2006 with the Broncos com-ing out on top, 84-75.
Unlike Northridge, Boise State is off to a perfect start, opening the season with three consecutive victories. The Matadors will be looking for their first win of the year against San Diego Christian Tuesday night in their home opener at the Matadome.
