A memorial bicycle ride will be held Saturday at Poly Canyon in honor of late Cal Poly freshman Carson Starkey by the Cal Poly Wheelmen Cycling Team.
Starkey passed away last quarter while pledging the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epilson, reportedly from alcohol poisoning.
More than 100 students attended The Drinking Age Debate, ASI’s latest True Life event.
John McCardnell, left, who thinks the drinking age should be lowered, argued that raising the drinking age to 21 years old has not stopped students from drinking.
James Fell, who thinks the legal drinking age should remain at 21, said the law has saved lives.
The issue of lowering the legal drinking age from 21 to 18 has long been in discussion. Would there be repercussions in society if 18-year-olds were given this right or would young people accept their new-found freedom and exercise it responsibly? The next installment of ASI Events’ True Life Series will explore this very issue when The Drinking Age Debate comes to Chumash Auditorium Thursday at 8 p.
