Celebrating 50 years of CSUSB
By Nicholas Whitt |Staff Writer| Coyotes, the 50th anniversary is here and the school is definitely giving us a lot of love, celebrating our past, transforming our future.

Food quantity shrinks while prices go up
By Daniel DeMarco | Staff Writer| Food quantities, prices, and selection have stirred controversy across the CSUSB campus. Allegations center around decreasing portion sizes with prices remaining the same or rising. Some believe the increase in minimum wage may be the cause of these perceived changes.

Commons gets it right, but should be open late night
By Dominique Sterling |Staff Writer| CSUSB will never become a school known for great school spirit unless it becomes a place where students who live on and off campus have a place to meet and socialize late at night. The main and easiest way people can socialize is around food, and there is no better place on campus to do that than the Commons with their main dining room.

I was very surprised at the amount of healthy yet wholesome choices that the menu offered. Entering the Commons I found it very pleasurable to … [Read more...] about Commons gets it right, but should be open late night
