SOME UCCS STUDENTS ARE UPSET THAT

10/21/2009 News First Today at 5 AM - KOAA-TV SOME UCCS STUDENTS ARE UPSET THAT THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN A HEALTH FAIR ON CAMPUS. THE GROUP SUPPORTS THE USE OF MARIJUANA - SAYING IT'S A HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE TO ALCOHOL. THEY PROTESTED YESTERDAY SAYING THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRESENT THEIR IDEAS TO STUDENTS. SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS SAY THEY WON'T ALLOW DRUGS TO BE PROMOTED. 11:44:23 WE DON'T ENDORSE THE ILLEGAL USE OF ALCOHOL OR THE ILLEGAL USE OF DRUGS AS PART OF OUR CAMPUS. 11:44:32 12:38:08 IT'S TIME WE STOPPED DRIVING THESE STUDENTS TO DRINK. WE ALLOW THEM TO MAKE THE SAFER CHOICE AND AT THE VERY LEAST, PROVIDE THEM WITH THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO MAKE THE SAFER CHOICE. 12:38:18 THE PROTEST WAS PEACEFUL.
