A major police operation on the San Diego State University campus led to the arrest of 75 students on drug charges yesterday. Fifty pounds of marijuana and four pounds of cocaine were seized in the sting, which involved seven SDSU fraternities.
The arrests were the culmination of six months of undercover work in SDSU’s frats, initiated after a 19-year-old student died of a cocaine and alcohol overdose last year. All of those arrested were men, and approximately twenty were charged with drug sales rather than possession.
On Tuesday SDSU suspended six fraternities — Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Theta, Theta Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Mu — that were implicated in the case. All of the arrested students have been suspended, and those who lived in campus housing are being evicted.
Ten thousand people participated in Colorado University’s annual marijuana smoke-out on the campus quad yesterday, twice as many as toked up one year ago. In the past, campus cops have photographed offenders or turned on the sprinkler system, but yesterday, outnumbered 500-to-1, they simply gave up.
Because of the scale of the event, it became a magnet for students promoting other causes. CU junior Max Lichtenstein handed out more than a hundred Rice Krispies treats attached to flyers asking students to call the White House to protest the genocide in Darfur … “Tomorrow, when you’re sober.”
