Anthem, Cal Poly’s annual poetry slam competition, returns tonight for another year of toe-tapping, grooving poetry exploring racial, sexual, ethnic and class identities.
The slam, which pits seven nationally recognized poets against each other in a competition-style format, seeks to explore the power of words.

Tuesday night’s election went smoothly as voters in San Luis Obispo county elected many new faces to public office.
Cal Poly English professor Adam Hill beat incumbent Jerry Lenthall for 5th District county supervisor with 58 percent of the vote.
Hill – whose platform stressed smart growth, public safety and increasing alternate forms of transportation – thinks that voters were ready for a change.
The football rivalry between Cal Poly and Sacramento State makes almost too much sense.
