Here's the official word from University of Santa Cruz Executive Chancellor David Kilger on the kind of day that university administrations can't stand. April 20 has become nationally known, as Kilger says in a letter today (April 17) to faculty and staff, "as the date when people gather to communally smoke marijuana in an expression of support for the reform or marijuana laws. In recent years, thousands of people have gathered on the UCSC campus to participate in the event."
Kilgore in UCacademese says that the university does not "condone, support or otherwise sanction t his event." To his credit, he doesn't threaten damnation nor a flood of troopers but he does lay out some regulations Santa Cruz style. Thanks to an alert from a UCSC graduate, and roommate of a Guardian employee, we can turn up and tune in on the letter for you. Click on the continued reading link:

Re: "4-20" Activity
April 20th (4-20) has become known nationwide as the date when people gather to communally smoke marijuana in an expression of support for the reform of marijuana laws. In recent years, thousands of people have gathered on the UCSC campus to participate in this event.
The University does not condone, support or otherwise sanction this event. The increasingly large crowds that have gathered in recent years present safety risks for participants, whether students or people not affiliated with the campus. This activity also violates a number of campus regulations designed to provide for the well-being of our campus and neighboring community.
In anticipation of this year's April 20 activity, I have authorized the implementation of a number of restrictions for this coming weekend, April 19-20. This communication is intended to alert the community of the transportation changes, parking restrictions, and other actions that will limit access to campus.
This advance notification is provided to enable those who have valid reasons for coming to campus this weekend to adjust their schedules and transportation plans accordingly:
o The West Entrance to campus will be closed to inbound vehicular traffic on Sunday.
o The Main Entrance will be open that day, but campus personnel will restrict vehicular access to people who have UCSC parking permits or who can show evidence they are attending sanctioned campus events that day.
o Parking permits will be required in all campus lots throughout the weekend, even in those that typically require no permits on weekends. The parking restriction will include evening hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. (If you need to park on campus this weekend and do not currently have a permit, you will need to purchase one by 6 p.m. on Friday.)
o At our request Metro bus drivers will not bring riders onto campus on Sunday. The only "campus" stop, coming to and from UCSC, will be the one adjacent to the Main Entrance on Empire Grade. (If disability transportation is needed as a result of this restriction, special van service on campus can be requested at this one bus stop.)
o There will be no on-campus shuttle service during the day on Sunday.
o Empire Grade will be designated as a tow-away zone, and vehicles that illegally park on Empire Grade during the weekend will be ticketed and may be towed at the owners' expense. Extra patrols will be on duty to enforce these restrictions.
o Drivers and passengers who can't prove that they have a legitimate reason to be on campus on Sunday will be turned away at the main gate. People can anticipate that there will be delays at the Main Entrance's kiosk.
Please remember that all UCSC students, staff and their guests are expected to comply with University policy and federal and state law.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Drugs can do alot to a persons mind, and I wish the ones that use drugs will open their eyes and take a look at what they are, or will become. Drugs can take over a persons life and thats awful to let something like that control it,there is better things to life than drugs.

There are so many other enlargement pills are available in the market which claim to be high agile and effective but in-spite are some major side effect has been found due to their usage, such as losing of sensation in your peripheral nerve is vital; beside it makes your organ faded.
Feeling Insecure about penis size?
There is a tremendous amount of pressure on our sexual performances. This pressure is applied from a number of sources, from the media to perhaps even our partners. While women complain about pressure to have an orgasm during intercourse, the modern man has a lot to worry about himself.
After all, women associate larger penis size in men with increased sexual expertise. Although at first sight a woman has no way of telling your “size”, the mere worry about how your partner will judge your endowment will affect your performance even before reaching the bedroom.
