...they are bought, sold and used by some of the nation's finest college students. This reality was confirmed on April 10 when two Currier House seniors, Stephen V. David '96 and William A. Blankenship '96, were arrested for allegedly possessing marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms, LSD and "ecstasy" with intent to distribute. The Crimson gave the arrests top-story coverage in both the April 12 and April 16 editions of the paper. Both stories were written by Laura C. Semerjian...
...like drugs because they are bad, or are drugs bad because society does not like them? In his column of April 23, "Ignoring Internal Decay," Joshua Kaufman offers several arguments condemning drug users and drug dealers. He concludes that Blankenship and David, two students accused of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, LSD, mushrooms and ecstasy, deserve punishment if guilty.

At the time I thought, 'Who's spiking his Yoo-Hoo?' How was I supposed to know? I go out to Chicago, take the psychological test and while I'm trying to decide, they sign Dennis...
Simply because Mr. Kaufman's piece appeared in Dartboard (a forum reserved for "views, commentary, and sometimes comedy") does not excuse the light-hearted tone which he applied to what is a very serious situation both for our house and for the individuals involved. While we understand that the intent of the piece was to be humorous, such levity is inappropriate in dealing with an issue of this nature. Furthermore, the factual errors and the unfounded accusations that the piece contained are inexcusable even by the most basic of journalistic standards. In the future, we hope that not only will...
