Caltopia

Whether scrambling for a book last minute, joining a community-based chess club or just needing a place to recharge devices, UC Berkeley students see the Berkeley Public Library as a valuable resource.

As UC Berkeley returns to in-person instruction this semester, Gonzalez and other students have expressed concerns about large-scale events — both on- and off-campus — that often generate crowds of students and potentially pose unsafe conditions amid the pandemic.

UC Berkeley can’t control what its students do off campus, but its attitude toward and management of on-campus events sets a precedent. 

Young and Berul may have moved on from singing “Crazy Rap” harmonies at work, but they’re still bringing a fun approach to their passion for music.

As the flood of students returns to campus, a number of events — Caltopia, Calapalooza and Golden Bear Orientation, or GBO — will be held virtually and in person in the coming months.

The ASUC Senate met for its weekly meeting Wednesday night to hear updates on campus transportation funding and new campus policies on smoking, as well as to finalize appointments for next year’s internal positions.

Tote bags? Hats? Even more tote bags? Sign us up. But what will we do with everything we've sneakily (and not-so-sneakily) snagged from Caltopia?

Tired of passing out candy? We at the Clog have found some solutions to make Halloween more original and exciting (UC Berkeley style of course).

Some things are quite comfortably cyclical. For example, Welcome Week, Caltopia, Calapalooza, Cal-everything, the start of a new year, a new semester, etc. — I like that these events recur. What is — or should be — unbearably cyclical, however, is the crisis that continues to face higher-education institutions.
