San Luis Obispo is known for many things, such as the giant rolling hills, Thursday downtown farmer’s markets, and the college that dominates this place, but one major part of the culture here that is often overlooked is surfing. No matter where one is on campus, they will see people headed off to the beach with their board in hand, or headed to Poly Escapes to rent one. I have only been surfing a handful of times in my life, which is why I chose to analyze a surf shop; I have always been fascinated

activities is what completes the full college experience. Those type of people believe that the only thing universities have to offer is education. While that is partially true, universities offer more than just classes. Universities such as Cal Poly Pomona, offer a variety of different things that can help students succeed. Not only does it offer helpful activities and enjoyable events but universities intend to keep it a safe campus in order for students to enjoy their full college experience. Cal Poly

My first year living in Pomona was terrifying. Within the first three months, my roommate’s car was stolen inside our apartment complex and was reported at a junkyard. Keshet Weinstein, a junior Cal Poly student who has been living in a gated Pomona apartment for six months, had a similar experience as my roommate, “Within the first month of moving in, my car was broken into while in my garage and I heard that there were 10 bikes stolen,” Weinstein said. Gentrification has become a very broad

The Rising Cost of Tuition in California State Universities The cost of tuition for California State Universities has skyrocketed over the last 10 years. It has forced many students to take out expensive student loans to complete their educational goals, often times leaving graduating college students steep in debt as they enter the workforce. Some of the contributing factors that I am going to address are inflation, the rising cost of living and the varying costs of different

It was March 23rd, 2013 when I was boarding the plane that would take me to Afghanistan on my first deployment. I only remember the date because on my birthday, two days later, I would be sitting in a V-22 Osprey flying into the volatile city of Sangin, a known Taliban hot spot. It was during one of my first few days there, that I found myself guarding the sole entrance to my company’s operating base. Suddenly a van, old and rusting, turned the corner and came screaming towards my position. Wary

Political Movement, A Road That Never Ends During the 1870s to 1930, California agriculture had become a most diverse region of the United States. Its wheat, meat, and crop farming, such as grapes, walnuts, almonds, tomatoes, potatoes, watermelons, and plums became the California’s major export industry, as well as nation’s leading producer. According to The Elusive Eden by Richard B. Rice, William A. Bullough, and Richard J. Orsi, the number of farms in 1925 had grown to more than 136,400 farms

alertness and the uneasiness of everyone causes silence for a brief moment until the high pitched blow of a whistle starts it all. This sounds like a setting to a suspenseful corny movie but really it’s just a typical gameday here at San Francisco State University. Unlike all other game days, this one is very special. We take on UC San Diego in hopes of securing a playoff spot. My emotions have been running all over the place, and no it’s not because I am a young adult trying to get through college. I

The cultural event, I attended this semester was on campus. From all the cultural events I could have attended to the one I went to is called “Rooted and Ready”. The event took place on Tuesday, October 10 at the Ferman Presentation Room, in the Oviatt Library. Rooted and Ready was focused on a lecture. The participants of Rooted and Ready were one Host and four guest speakers. The four guest speakers are Professor Everto Ruiz, Professor Rodolfo Acuna, Professor Jorge Garcia and Diane Velarde Hernandez

The goal of the Sacramento State Police Department is “ to ensure that you are on one of the safest campuses in the CSU system” said by Sac State Chief of Police, Mark M. Iwasa. With the amount of incidents increasing more and more on college campuses, Michelle Cowee is taking her safety into her own hands. “I come from a small town near Redding, so Sacramento is definitely a whole new environment for me. I just don’t feel as safe as I feel like I should be.” The third year, who insists on carrying

Throughout Dr. Dozer’s presentation on his work, I constantly made connections to what we learned in the histology unit. I especially remember when he mentioned the stomach ulcers and how they formed; I recalled back to the test and how that made sense because the stomach is not lined with the needed epithelium to protect it from the stomach acid, therefore creating the ulcers. I also found it odd yet funny when Dr. Dozer mentioned that ulcers where the most fun and exciting part of his job. Additionally
