GRETCHEN DAVEY AND NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN Steven Mihaylo is an alumnus and one of CSUF’s top monetary donors. Recently, he and CSUF students engaged on Twitter about student debt and personal responsibility. Some students were outraged by Mihaylo’s remarks, while Mihaylo felt that the vulgarity within some of the tweets was uncalled for.

KALEB STEWART Daily Titan

An ordinary Monday afternoon in the TSU Pub was infused with flashes from the past. Nostalgia Karaoke brought music and merchan- dise from decades past to students who needed to relax being on the edge of finals week. With songs such as “You’re Beautiful,” “Some- body to Love,” “Save the Last Dance” and “Under- neath It All” being sung by students, Titans were able to choose from a selection of nostalgic favorites. The refreshments provided were pizza, Ring Pops, Pop Rocks, animal crackers, chips and Capri Suns. Give- away prizes included a DVD copy of “Back to the Future,” a “Scooby-Doo” Chia Pet and a “Super Mario Bros.” themed backpack. Chloe Okura, the Monday and Tuesday Open Mic coordinator, has experience or- ganizing the event. Howev- er, this being the last karaoke of the fall semester made it special.
