	+ --["Users/StevenLee"] As someone who has served both in ASUCD and Picnic Day, it is frustrating when certain factions in ASUCD refuse to fund or increase funding for Picnic Day. Sure there is a lot of drinking on campus, but Picnic Day is not merely a huge party. It is the annual open house for the campus. Alot of prospective students come to visit on Picnic Day and indeed more than a few decide to come because they get a good feel of the campus from Picnic Day. Other than the CoHo, Unitrans and the commercial units, Picnic Day is the most efficient ASUCD event/program. When you consider how much money other ASUCD units such as Entertainment Council or various programmatic commissions gets (over $70,000 for EC) and the number of people who attend those events they pale in comparison. Picnic Day only gets around $15K-$20K from ASUCD to put on a campus-wide event that more than 100,000 people attend. That's pretty good. Also, for those who are very "socially-oriented", Picnic Day is a great way to showcase the university and a great recruiting tool. Additionally, considering that the event has jumped from 50,000 to 100,000 in a relatively short period of time and has resulted in a rising costs to put on the event, ASUCD funding for Picnic Day barely keeps up with the increase in inflation. It is not for a lack of money. Other units, which affect far less people have been created (and sometimes disbanded) or given larger budgets in a significantly short time in comparison to Picnic Day . Although this certainly raises another issue that I do not wish to debate here, but just purely as an example Lobby Corp which was created in 2002 has gone from a budget of $6,000 to a budget of over $25,000 in just a few years. In addition, ASUCD does not even pay for a majority of the cost and they are always talking about how they want everything student-run. As you can tell, I am very passionate about this particular topic. So I hope that ASUCD stops giving Picnic Day so much trash and recognizes the benefit of Picnic Day. Picnic Day is THE oldest ASUCD unit and it will outlast everything else. It is a solid event that deserves its fair share.

- Some people refer to Picnic Day as ''White Family Day'', a play on the ["UC Davis" university's] ["Black Family Week"]/Black Family Day. The phrase is meant to draw attention to some sort undercurrent of racism in Picnic Day. References to this term have been found in ["The California Aggie" Aggies] as old as 1986. However 2005's Picnic Day featured a variety of cultures, including an all-black color guard/percussion squad, as well as the Jewish Student Union, who participates in Picnic Day every year and advocates diversity in culture. Also, since Picnic Day 2002, there has been a Multicultural Children's Faire (MCF) held at Hart Hall where children can make crafts from all over the world.	+ Some people refer to Picnic Day as ''White Family Day'', a play on the ["UC Davis" university's] ["Black Family Week"]/Black Family Day.

Although it is unclear whether this refers to the mistaken perception that the word "Picnic" has racist overtones most modern etymologists agree that the roots of the word do no. The Picnic Day Board is a broad cross-section of the community. In recent years some ethnic student groups or centers have refused to participate or attend, which may in itself create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Nevertheless, today Picnic Day is an event for the entire community and provides every opportunity for everyone to participate.

Each director usually has 1-3 assistants who help in the planning and execution of Picnic Day each year. Picnic Day dates are chosen 7-8 years in advance. The Picnic Day Chair is nominated by the ASUCD President and confirmed by the ASUCD Senate. Other members of the board are hired at the sole discretion of the Chair.

- The event is co-sponsored by the City of Davis, the University and ["ASUCD"], in fact ASUCD put $20,519 into the 2004 Picnic Day budget. (["Whole Earth Festival"], another University event and ASUCD unit is not subsidized at all.) Picnic Day's funds support communications (radios & sound for stages) , equipment, printing (posters, flyers, schedule of events etc.), technical support (web and sound equipment for stages & classrooms), hiring multi-cultural Entertainment/performers, the Multi-Cultural Children's Faire, stage rental from ["Whole Earth Festival" another] ASUCD unit, food and t-shirts for the volunteers, among many other things that must be paid for to bring Picnic Day to UC Davis. The money helps Picnic Day remain free from being overly commercialized (meaning where Picnic Day would be dependent on sponsorships or dependent on selling items to make money instead of focusing on being the university's open house), and allows student organizations to fundraise through selling food and other items.	+ The event is sponsored by the University and ["ASUCD"], in fact ASUCD put $20,519 into the 2004 Picnic Day budget.

Picnic Day although not as commercialized as Whole Earth Festival benefits from various community sponsorships.
