Cal Poly’s St. Fratty’s Day made national headlines due to a roof collapse at the annual block party in 2015. Nine years later, St. Fratty’s resulted in over $24,000 worth of damages at the Red Bricks residence halls. This year, Cal Poly and the City of San Luis Obispo announced a new approach: prevention over containment. The city created a task force to address the destruction and has since implemented a plan to stop the block party and move the festivities onto campus.

Former Cal Poly student Charles Hojaboom will stand trial starting April 22, the court ruled Wednesday. The 20-year-old allegedly fired a gun on campus multiple times. The prosecution said the trial will take a week and a half of full-day sessions to present evidence to a jury before a verdict is reached. After his lawyer initially suggested April 21 for the trial’s start date, Hojaboom cut in, asking for it to be moved a day later. “It’s my birthday on the 21st,” Hojaboom said to the judge.
