Heavier police presence expected at '4/20' event

University of Colorado police say they'll have more officers at Farrand
Field today than at previous "4/20" marijuana smokeouts.

Every year, hundreds gather at 4:20 p.m. April 20 on the field to protest
state and federal drug laws.

CU administrators have been trying to discourage the rally this year,
saying it sends the wrong message following a series of image problems for
the school.

"We'll probably have more people there monitoring it than we have in the
past," Lt. John Kish said. "People should expect to be held accountable for
what they become involved in."
