10/7/00
The October 26 issue of Rolling
Stone magazine, currently on newsstands, features a three-page article
on the drug provision of the Higher Education Act, the campaign to repeal
it and the formation of Students for Sensible Drug Policy.
This article, titled "The
New Anti-War Protesters," can be found in the special "College Report"
section, page 99 of the magazine. Freelance writer Phil Zabriskie
skillfully chronicle-olds the ascent of SSDP, and explains how the nascent
student group was nurtured by DRCNet and other drug policy organizations
to become a major player in the war against the war on drugs.
SSDP activists from chapters
all around the country are featured. These include Dan Goldman from
the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Alex Kreit from Hampshire College,
Denise Goetsch from Mount Holyoke College, and Shawn Heller and Brian Gralnick
from the George Washington University, as well as DRCNet's own Steve Silverman.
For more information on SSDP
check out their newly redesigned web site at http://www.ssdp.org.
Please visit http://www.RaiseYourVoice.com,
also newly redesigned, to learn more about the HEA reform campaign, send
a letter to Congress opposing the new law stripping students convicted
of drug offenses of financial aid eligibility, and to find out how to get
involved. Special thanks to student activist Matt Koglin for donating
his much-needed web skills to revamp these two sites at this important
time.
