	Students get more than 'Rolling Stone' By Sarah LaVoie Daily Forty-Niner Cal State Long Beach students got more from the Rolling Stone Rock and Roll Bowl than just bags full of freebies, according to participating students.   "It's better than the previous events," said business management junior Kashus Perona. "It's fun to actually do something."   The event had students boxing, playing a music trivia game show, making music videos and mixing their own music in front of the University Student Union Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.   U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Walters, who put on a pair boxing gloves and joined students for a turn at beating up the computerized dummies at the HBO booth, said "[the boxing match] was tiresome and long." Communications senior Larry Henderson added that "it got a little hot at the end."   The music trivia game show gave contestants a chance to compete with other colleges across the country to win a Ford Focus.   "It was something sort of fun to do to break the monotony of studying," said Dave Hind, an English education graduate student  who won the final competition with teammate Adrian Ross, a junior majoring in music.   Students enjoyed the musical trivia game despite its difficulty.   "I just liked pushing the little button," said Erin Earlywine, a freshman majoring in marketing.   Karen Rosenberg, a freshman contestant who is majoring in business, said that "they should ask some questions from today instead of 1902."   Latisha Taylor, a freshman majoring in biology said that "[the game] was hard because you have to know about all the different categories of music." Brave students also sang karaoke in their own  music video.
