Visitors to Pirate’s Cove, the small beach located between Avila and Shell Beach and best known for the nude beachgoers, may have to put on their bathing suits next time.
San Luis Obispo County Parks took the first step to acquire Pirate’s Cove Tuesday at the Board of Supervisors meeting where they issued a notice to the public of their intent to turn the secluded beach into a family-friendly spot.
Bikers aren’t entitled to bike racks “But officer, I shouldn’t get a ticket for parking my car illegally! There weren’t any spots by my class!” Such is the logic of bikers who feel entitled to have open bike racks by every building. Is it not enough that bikers don’t have to pay a dime to lock their bikes to a bike rack? Why does this “entitlement” mentality kick in and cause some bikers to feel like it is their right to have large bike racks next to every building? Many students who pay a good chunk of change to park their cars on campus have to park far from their classes because there is not an abundance of close student parking.
Consider the relationship between politicians and the fears of their constituencies. If enough Americans were horrified at the sight of the color red, so too would be politicians. There would, of course, be different shades of madness endorsed by the politicians.
Jenny Bauer is learning to let go and allow men to take the lead; at least on the dance floor.
As vice president of Cal Poly’s ballroom dance club, Bauer has learned a thing or two about Cha Cha-ing across the floor with her partners.
“When I first started, I was leading myself the whole time and it was awful,” said Bauer, a history sophomore.
Everyone has seen the shirts “SLO the places you will go.” but now comes a better slogan, one more befitting of my weekly column: “SLO the places you could come.” Although it is often thought of only in a fantasy, sex in a public place gives some people that deep down excited tingly feeling, which is why the act is sometimes shown in film.
Oui! The wonderful world of crˆpes and culinary lavender has debuted in San Luis Obispo.
Higuera Street may not look like the lavender-covered region of Provence, France,but two months ago, it started to taste like it.
Crˆpes De Provence, the downtown cashier-style restaurant, is now serving up authentic artesian crˆpes at prices that are conducive to a college budget.
Rich Ellerson’s not a mind reader. Still, the head coach of the Cal Poly football team had a pretty good idea Monday what the focus of the school’s weekly athletics news conference at Mott Gym would be.
“Yes, we have another bye,” he said, beginning a rapid-fire satire while reporters situated their microphones and recorders before asking any questions.
The grades are in and the report card is out. The Web site Greenreportcard.org just released new sustainability grades for 300 universities and Cal Poly received a B- in its first year of evaluation.
“In the B’s is probably about right for universities that are moving in the direction of sustainability,” said ASI President Angela Kramer, who based much of her campaign on advocating for sustainable practices.
Bill Durgin, Cal Poly’s provost for the last two years, was moved to a new position as University Executive for Research and External Support while the interim provost, Robert Koob, officially took the reigns Monday.
Koob, now the second-highest ranking official on campus, will have to deal with increasing budget cuts as the economy continues to be unstable.
I read your article titled “Bike offenders blame crowded racks” on Oct. 3. I thought it might be good for me to share my experience with bike parking racks on campus.
My company is Peak Racks, which supplies Cal Poly with the majority of their bike racks.
I’m nauseous, I can literally feel my heart in my chest, my hands and feet have gone numb and taking a breath feels damn near impossible. I am drowning in my own thoughts and the surface seems far out of reach.
Most people don’t understand the severe physical reaction the body can have from anxiety.
