Amethyst Initiative

Story can be found here.

My second story is also from The Buffalo News. It is a discusses the Amethyst Initiative, another topic that we have discussed in class. 

This article discusses the viewpoints of various college officials from different colleges and universities from across Western New York. While it is interesting for me to see the viewpoints of representatives from the colleges where most of my friends back home go, I don't see the relevance or the immediate newsworthiness of the article. There was no speech or official movement to inspire this article. 

I definitely have a bias when it comes to this issue, so I will be watching as it progresses. I don't honestly think that it will change any laws in time to affect people in my age group. I will be 21 in a little less than 2 years. I doubt that there will be any significant change by then.
