Every Thursday at 11 am, Cal Poly’s Dexter Lawn comes alive! Almost every student has a class break from 11-12 on Thursdays for University Union hour. But not all of the fun activities are just in the UU… Dexter Lawn is also bustling with fun and excitement during that time. A lot of that energy is due to the large group of hula-hoopers that come to Dexter to play music, dance and have a great time.

Birkenstock sandals have recently become a popular fad across the US, West Coast and on the Cal Poly campus. There are many different kinds of sandals to choose from when deciding to buy these wonderfully comfortable and practical shoes. They can be dressed up or dressed down and paired with nearly any outfit. But where Birks get interesting is in the differentiation between the styles of the shoes available for purchase. Each shoe draws in a different kind of person.
