It’s rare to see jazz, hiphop, Chinese lion dance, Mexican folk dance and ballroom all on the same stage within the span of a single show. Cal Poly students, families and community members were lucky to experience exactly that at Illuminate this past Saturday.

You should be more cautious around campus petition booths
Their brief, buzzword-full rushed pitches aren’t great indicators of credibility. These types of petition booths on Cal Poly’s campus, while not all necessarily harmful or badly intentioned, should be treated with caution and skepticism upon encounter. These booths are trying to receive as many signatures as they can, and if they can rush you into signing something, they will, whether or not you even know what you’re supporting.

Dormcest: Do’s and don’ts
It’s no secret that horned-up freshmen are likely to crap where they eat. The hormones and excitement that surround dorm-dwellers are bound to cause some incest in freshman year living spaces. From yakʔitʸutʸu to Muir, North Mountain to Yosemite, no dorm goes unscathed by the looming presence of an awkward hook-up who lives in the same building as you.

The Housing Hunt: Becoming an RA comes with free housing, but also real responsibilities
Residential advisors or community advisors (which is the RA role for continuing or transfer students) benefit from free on-campus housing and a dining plan. This job is a great way to secure an entire room to yourself for no cost, while being able to connect with other students and shape the campus community.

Does President Armstrong deserve nine times the base faculty salary?
Our highest administrators are not the ones who need a 20% pay raise. They don’t feel the squeeze of the affordability crisis affecting the Cal State community, especially at Cal Poly. This money should instead be focused on direct student services and base level faculty: two fundamental aspects of the Cal State system that often go overlooked and undervalued.
