DO YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS?
College students weary of alcohol-fueled sexual aggression, rude and obnoxious behaviors, and other binge-drinking related problems now have a Web Site to help them. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), in collaboration with Cornell University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), has launched a Web Site (www.HadEnough.org) designed to assist student efforts to reduce the effects of destructive drinking in campus communities. The interactive Web Site provides information and advocacy tips that encourage student involvement to improve the quality of life on campus and challenge long held perceptions of heavy alcohol use as a normal "rite of passage." Go to HadEnough for more details on this subject.
