[edit] Greek Life

The Greek section is too bloated...UCLA and USC each have a far more extensive and famous Greek systems yet they are hardly mentioned at all in their respective articles..some of the frat seals at the beginning oughta be trimmed at least. Jarwulf 08:04, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes we should trim it a bit. But I don't nessecarily know what to trim. --fpo 15:12, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

There is an entire article on the CSULA Greek System. It is well written, but the subject lacks the feel of an independant article. Consider merging it with this one and setting up a redirect using the #section tag. --Jayron32 03:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Highest ranked

"Cal State L.A. is the highest ranked California institution conferring bachelor's degrees on Hispanics."

Literally this sentence means there is no higher ranked institituion that awards degrees upon hispanics. This is of course un true. I think, it is meant to say, "CSULA confers more bachelors degrees to hispanics then any other California College or University."

Is this correct? --SAUNDERS 07:14, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure you're right. Why don't we make the assumption that so you can go ahead and make the change. If we're wrong we can correct it later. Thanks for catching the error. Cheers, -Willmcw 08:06, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reads like a brochure

Many parts of this article read like a brochure and lack any semblance of objectivity. For instance it is mentioned that

"The campus is a good place to relax or study. There are different places inside the campus where they serve food and coffee. Some of the fast foods that are located in CSULA are El Pollo Loco, Carl's Jr., Rice Garden and Kikka Sushi. Many students come to the cafes located inside the campus after class and interact with other fellow students. The new $30 million University-Student Union building that is under construction scheduled to be completed on September 2007, will also be a good place for students to come and relax after classes."

The idea that the campus is a good place to relax or study is both a matter of opinion and almost completely inaccurate by most students' and faculty members' accounts (yes, I am using anecdotal evidence, appealing to the majority, shoot me why don't you). I really do wonder who edits this page. SubXerox 05:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

SubXerox why are you coming here and criticizing people who contributed, but you in the other hand did not contribut anyhting in this article. If you find that the informtion is wrong then try to fix it and make it look better. Not come here and criticize other users. ROOB323 23:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Out of respect for the original authors, I don't like generally like to edit the works of others. In this case however, at your suggestion, I have made an exception to this policy.SubXerox 11:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
