Gym rats across Isla vista rejoiced earlier t
his quarter as the Recreation Center reopened; the lifeguards, however, arenât so happy. After spending nearly a year and a half doing nothing, the lifeguards of UCSB are positively perturbed at the prospect of having to continue to do nothing, but in a more professional capacity.
âYea itâs pretty annoying, to be honest. I was really liking how we were doing things during the pandemic,â the Rec Cenâs lead lifeguard stated. âOnce we realized we were in it for the long haul, we had IT set up web cameras on the lifeguard towers so we could watch the pool remotely.â To date, no lifeguard has reported anything happening on these remote sessions, with the exception of one catching Chancellor Henry Yang skinny dipping in the moonlight.
The protestors claimed the school received $22 million dollars from the federal funding. Now, members of the UCSB Young Democratic Socialists of America group are demanding students be distributed relief checks valuing $900 each from the remaining funds.

The origin of blue LED technology traces back to Japan in the late â80s, at a small chemical and electronics company called Nichia Corporation. Shuji Nakamura â a UC Santa Barbara faculty member since 2000 â developed this technology when he was a member of the research and development team at Nichia. His work has laid the foundation for much of the lighting technology we use today.Â
