Merrill was so pretty. But any class I had there I dropped. That hill = hangovers was too much.

UCSC students are a little retarded. But who knows if it's students or not? People who get vandally about stuff like this might just be using UCSC as their canvas. BTW, loucifer: Merrill '02 here! Woo!

I graduated from UCSC three years ago and loved it. But there was always this presence of misdirected anger and idiots hating the system without thinking to maybe join it and make a difference from within.

Yeah I gotta add my vote to the Kresge student pot, it's wither that or woods people...certainly not Porter students, if it was Porter it wouldn't be political scrawl, it'd be Velvet Underground lyrics and artful drawings of bats or something.

Definitely the MO of Kresge students, and I graduated just two years ago.

Porter students? I think not! this is clearly the work of the college 9 and ten mob! just kidding...9 and 10 were being fought over right as I left...something about "elfland" and so on...

So true about Kresge students, Brock. Also from what I recall, Kresge kids lack the energy and initiative needed for such large-scale vandalism.

It's what they call Santa Claus in Mexico.

Sorry, what is "Santa Cruz"? I've never heard of it. Does it have something to do with Christmas?

Sure, the "prison system." The correctional officers' union is probably the single strongest lobbying group in the state. They ensure that laws are repeatedly amended to increase the punishment, leading to more prisons, leading to better job security. If that's not a "system," I don't know what is.

I heard they're going to have to cancel their Shakespeare theatre thing they do annually this year due to the economy. Sad :(.

The prison system? The punks are getting less coherent every day.

Sounds like the classic MO of Kresge students to me, but then again I did graduate 14 years ago (Merrill).
