Nugget serves
as place to unwind
Staff Reports
Though the semester
has just begun, students are bound to become stressed by or
before midterms.
The Nugget, located
in the University Dining Plaza, combines movies, sports and,
most importantly, alcohol. But, thanks to an Alcohol Beverage
Control law, the eatery is limited to beer and wine.
To prevent overdrinking,
The Nugget allows students to only buy one beer at a time
and does not serve pitchers.
Along with alcohol,
The Nugget serves hamburgers, pizza and sandwiches. It also
serves up entertainment, occasionally showing a movie and
sporting events. For more hands-on activities, students can
play pool or arcade games in the back.
In the past, live
bands would play, including acts such as Sublime and Adam
Ant. However, many non-students attended, making for a potentially
dangerous situation.
The Nugget is open
from Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. and is closed on Saturday.
Pyramid
makes its mark
Staff Reports
The big blue triangle
can be seen from almost all directions. Cal State Long Beach's
Pyramid has made a prominent mark on the skyline since its
debut in 1994. One of only three pyramid-shaped structures
in the country, The Pyramid has become a CSULB icon.
The Pyramid has
enough floor space for five volleyball courts, three full
basketball courts and four half basketball courts. It also
houses The Pointe, an educational conference center, and Frog's
Club One, a fitness center.
For sporting events,
The Pyramid opened with a seating capacity of close to 5,000,
and with expansion, will eventually hold up to 7,500 fans
of the black and gold. It is also home court to the division
one men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams.
The $22 million
facility was designed by a CSULB alumna, architect Don Gibbs,
and was built by the Nielsen Construction Company of San Diego.
CSULB students
with a current identification card are welcome to attend home
sporting events free of charge. For more information, call
The Pyramid box office, (562) 985-4949.
