Janelle Eastridge MUSTANC; DAILY

Easter — the Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ — is fast approaching. And along with the religious connotations comes the onslaught of primary-colored marshmallow Peeps, crème-filled Cadbury eggs and the search for colorful candy-filled plastic eggs. For Cal Poly students, a celebration of this holiday is related to a number of these themes — or it’s not celebrated at all. Whether you celebrate Easter or not, it’s not too much of a stretch to see that American society has turned it into another over-commercialized holiday. Here’s what some Cal Poly students think; "
