There is quite a reputation behind the Poly Royal Rodeo, because I first heard about the rodeo in high school. After attending the Friday night rodeo, I can confidently say it was an entertaining night that lassoed me in.

This distinction reveals a growing divide within the Cal State system.

Review: Morning on the Green was a clever and exciting replacement to mayhem on the streets
My 3 a.m. alarm buzzed on my phone, and I jolted awake to the sound of an Irish jig and my roommates preparing drinks in the kitchen. Though I despise being woken up early, I had to persevere for my final St. Fratty’s day at Cal Poly.

In my four years of Fratty’s at Cal Poly, this has been one of the best days.

Flock camera systems might be intended to protect our safety, but they are putting us at risk. They enable enhanced surveillance that can be used to target Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo students, families and visitors.
