Iowa students rally to oppose 21-year drinking age bill
Iowa City U of I students led a noon rally to rebuke a Legislature bill raising the drinking age from 19 to 21. About 100 passers-by attended as Student Senate United Students of Iowa and Bud-Wisers urged responsible drinking and to contact lawmakers. The event featured Matt Dircks and Mark Connell arguing the age limit unfairly targets young adults and that society bears responsibility for drinking behavior. A post-rally press conference was canceled due to absent lawmakers.
