April 18, 2014 To: UCSC Undergraduate Students From: Chair, UCSC Student Union Assembly Subject: Student Response to April 20th 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 its 4-20 that we are best known for. Over the years this event has diminished UCSCs 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. Thats why I am asking all of you to not attend 4-20; instead, Im encouraging you to attend a festival from 2 to 6 p.m. at OPERS East Field. This event includes a 5K race, soccer, Frisbee golf, volleyball, a climbing wall, a bounce hall, and more. Don’t go to 4-20; it ruins our reputation. I think i made the right choice.
