As spring quarter begins, the students of UCSB prepare for Deltopia, a day of non-stop partying and walking back and forth through the streets of Isla Vista. Along with Deltopia comes a range of events hosted by UCSB organizations. The Excursion Club hosted First Friday in Perfect Park, while AS Program Board brought Purity Ring to the Thunderdome. On Sunday morning, students and community members helped clean as much trash as possible with tools provided by Adopt-a-Block.
