Nestled secretively between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay is a peaceful garden filled with plants from the five Mediterranean climate regions of the world.
The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden, is located in El Chorro Regional Park on Highway 1, and features an ever-growing spread of plants that is planned to eventually expand to a garden of 150 acres.
After crashing his bicycle during a tour through Santa Cruz a couple of years ago, Cal Poly environmental engineering junior Brant Haflich found a bike church that helped him fix and learn about his mode of transportation so he could get back on the road.
Haflich was so impressed with his experience, he found himself asking why San Luis Obispo didn’t have a similar organization.
Students looking to work and perform community service while traveling abroad will benefit from this weekend’s Engineers Without Borders (EWB) West Coast Workshop.
Cal Poly’s chapter of the non-profit humanitarian organization has been selected to host the workshop on campus, which is open to students of all majors as well as professionals already working in the field.
With so many different clubs on campus vying for a meeting space, organizing all the requests can be an ordeal.
The University Union Epicenter, or the Events, Programs, and Ideas Center, handles club activities and requires that clubs submit paperwork, called an E-Plan, two weeks in advance of when they wish to reserve a room.
Cal Poly senior wide receiver Ramses Barden has been invited to play in the 84th annual East-West Shrine Game, the school announced Thursday.
The college all-star showcase, which will be held at 1 p.m. Jan. 17, 2009 at the University of Houston, is designed to feature NFL Draft prospects and will be nationally televised by ESPN2.
Only four people in Cal Poly history have done it.
And Alex Crozier will try to become the fifth head coach in school history to win 200 games when he leads the Cal Poly women’s soccer team into Alex G. Spanos Stadium against Cal State Northridge at 1 p.m.
He is known to many as a godfather of modern jazz. Now the smooth, soul-filled sounds of three-time Grammy award winner Branford Marsalis and his saxophone can be heard tonight at 9 p.m. in the Cohen Center.
Marsalis will perform a unique collaboration with the Philarmonia Brasileira, under conductor Gil Jardim.
For the students, by the students: Associated Student Inc.’s weekly Concert in the Plaza event is made up of bands hand picked by the student body. Every Thursday in the University Union Plaza, a concert gives students a chance to take a break from their classes and relax while watching a variety of local and well-known acts that they themselves have chosen, such as Augustana and The Expendables.
The day has finally come. Baltimore art punkers Ponytail will be playing here in San Luis Obispo tonight at the SLO Art Center with Awesome Color and Skykillers. Their album, “Ice Cream Spiritual,” stayed at the top of the KCPR charts and over the summer cemented itself as a best album of the year for quite a few DJs.
While mindlessly walking amongst the chaos that is El Corral during the first week of classes, scrambling to find my textbooks like everyone else, I came across a somewhat peculiar sight: an English teacher had assigned a graphic novel as required reading for a class, but not only that, one that I own and love.
This past week has been historic for all the right and wrong reasons. A $700 billion economic bailout has been passed but appears to be a band-aid on a gushing carotid artery, the markets set records for how far they could plunge in a day, the vice presidential nominees went toe to toe and Arnold asked the Feds for a loan to cover state expenses.
