Good morning. It’s Friday, and I’m reading about the airport who pulled out all the stops to reunite a stuffed bunny — named “Bunny” — with its 6-year-old owner. Onto the five Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and California stories you need to know for today.

1.

Cal Poly will host a concert on St. Fratty’s from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. March 15. In collaboration with the City of SLO, the university is hoping to draw students away from the traditional block party to avoid the widespread destruction synonymous with the celebration. The entertainment? Frat DJs and a yet-to-be-announced headliner. Food and drink, including alcohol for those 21+, will be available. The concert comes, in conjunction with heightened police activity in the neighborhood, as a Hail Mary effort to shut down illegal St. Fratty’s street partying, a yearslong city goal.

Nine new dorm buildings, each with eight or nine stories, will be modularly constructed in the next five years, adding 4,200 beds to campus, plans show. The “modules” will be built in a factory then on site where the North Mountain dorms and parking lots stand now. Administration said this method has never been used before at a CSU; it’s intended to reduce costs and avoid drawing large amounts of workers into SLO’s housing market. The new dorms will mostly consist of six bed, three-bedroom and two-bathroom suites with a shared living area. The project is projected to cost over $1 billion.

The Department of Education reopened the case of a transgender volleyball player at San Jose State University who was at the center of national backlash against transgender women in sports. False claims about the speeds the player hit the ball, about her causing injuries on the court and that she towered over other players fed opposition and created a political backlash that made its way into President Trump’s campaign promises. Now, Trump has made good on his word, banning anyone not assigned female at birth from playing in women’s sports. The reopening of litigation comes as the SJSU player just finished her last season.

A mysterious buyer with hotel ties has been quietly snatching up land within Joshua Tree National Park for almost four years. Now, they own more than 100 acres, causing speculation that the park’s first lodging project could be in the works; Joshua Tree currently has only camping sites for overnight visitors. Environmentalists and local residents are worried the potential development could harm a delicate desert ecosystem near the site called Whispering Pines.

Los Angeles is home to many smells. Anyone who has visited probably found some olfactory association with parts of the widespread city. Its longtime residents have associations too. Here are some one reporter collected: magnolias, airplane jet fuel, taco stand meat fog, See’s Candies chocolate, In-N-Out, salty ocean breeze, the native plants in the hills like sage, freshly cut grass on the Rose Bowl, eucalyptus trees, the perfume Le Labo’s Santal 33, the sharp tang of La Brea’s tar pits, pastries, beer and, of course, an inescapable whiff of cannabis.
