"Liz Scuaroni, left, Dariusz, middle, and Debora Ann Krey wait in line at the University Bookstore to purchase their textbooks."
This is an all-too-familiar sight as many students flock to the bookstore at the beginning of each semester to purchase their textbooks. While bookstore personell have gotten better at going through the never-ending lines at the cash register, many students are stressed out over the rising costs of textbooks. Some students purchase thier books online on web sites like amazon.com, or other places that sell textbooks at a lower cost than the University Bookstore. Regardless, the prices of textbooks nowadays definately puts a dent in a student's wallet.

"Seven-year-old Zachery Duncan-Taylor gets the word out about the benefits of recycling as he passes out handmade fliers to interior design major Patrick McClintock on the Center Quad on Upper Campus."
Today, "going green" and recycling are a major feature at CSULB. "Go green" signs are posted in the school's walkways to promote the importance of a healthier living environment. There are even recycling recepticles in every classroom, as well as next to most trash bins.
But why use a seven-year-old kid to promote the importance and benefits of recyling to college students? That's like the movie "Happy Feet" and the use of penguins to create an awareness of overfishing - indeed, save the penguins. If a younger generation understands what it means to conserve and make the planet a better place, then so be it. After all, the children are the future.

"Lori Billingsley, psychology major, and Dorisola Cobb, business major, feed the Koi fish that live in the pond."
The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is located just across the street from the Los Alamitos dorms. Its gorgeous landscape and peaceful atmosphere make it a great place to get away from the stressful feeling that school can bring. For more information, visit the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden Site.
