Student Response to April 20th
Check out the festival from 2 to 6 p.m. at OPERS East Field on April 20.
UCSC was recently named second in the nation for research influence, as well as being voted a vegan friendly school, an environmental friendly campus, and an LGBT friendly community. However, it seems that it’s 4-20 that we are best known for. Over the years this event has diminished UCSC’s reputation.
We cannot let this culture continue; it is our responsibility to look out for our campus. The ‘stoner’ stereotype and image exists because we, the students, allow it to exist. We need to work hard to promote a new vision for UC Santa Cruz.
Don’t go to 4-20; it ruins our reputation.
Respectfully,
Shaz
