Students for a Democratic Society; American student organization that flourished in the mid-to-late 1960s and was known for its activism against the Vietnam War. Initially, SDS chapters throughout the nation were involved in the Civil Rights Movement. SDS organized a national march on Washington D.C. in April 1965, and from about that period SDS grew increasingly militant, especially about issues relating to the war, such as the drafting of students. -"Students for a Democratic Society" Britannica Online.
Statistical Divisions are areas defined in the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) which consist of one or more Statistical Subdivisions (SSDs) and cover, in aggregate, the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. They do not cross State or Territory boundaries and are the largest statistical area building blocks of States and Territories. SDs are used as large, general purpose regional type geographic areas. They represent relatively homogeneous regions characterised by identifiable social and economic links between the inhabitants and between the economic units within the region, under the unifying influence of one or more major towns or cities (ABS 1996). Tasmania is divided into four statistical divisions for Census purposes: Greater Hobart, Southern, Northern and Mersey-Lyell.
