He advocated further research and expansion of alternative energy sources so that they could be readily available for the American people. He stressed the importance of ethanol fuel as well as solar energy, wind power and gasified coal as the country's future energy providers.
With nearly half of the United State's oil coming from the Middle East, "energy independence becomes a national security issue," he said.
Daschle himself bought a vehicle that ran on 85 percent ethanol fuel, but soon realized that there were no pumps to fill up his gas tank. Even in California, he said four ethanol pumps
exist and three were for government use only. He stressed that progress could not be made by individuals until the government stepped up and provided the means.
Daschle called to the youth to work toward a better future where America could lead the world by aiding it and setting a good example rather than the example set by military power. He pointed out that at the age of 26, Martin Luther King, Jr. organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott, at the age of 32, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, an at 21, Bill Gates started Microsoft.
ate seat to a challenger, Dole invited him to work with him at a law firm in Washington, D.C.
Daschle also praised the patriotism and leadership of Bob Dole and shared his own experiences with him. After Daschle lost his South Dakota U.S. Sen-
The two friends travelled to Europe, where Dole was welcomed by Europeans as one of the soldiers who risked his own life to liberate those he didn't know. He said this was an invaluable part of the American ideal.
Amanda Davis, Aberdeen,
S.D., freshman, said she was
glad that Daschle was still a
strong proponent of education
as well.
"I've always really enjoyed Tom Daschle. I did vote for him," Amanda Davis, Aberdeen, South Dakota, freshman, said, "I liked that he was still very optimistic."

Debate

Boots said that the coalition visited with more than 100 student organizations when forming and creating platforms. He said that if elected he planned to help the student body become better informed about Student Senate, which in turn could make students more interested.
"We are a new coalition and we are changing with the tides of the University," Boots said. "As we continue to develop as a coalition we need to change."
Boots said that all of his coalition's ideas and platforms would directly affect students. He said that Ignite wanted as much student feedback as possible so that the issues students were interested in would be the ones addressed.
$100 Fee Cut
Chaput
The $100 Fee Cut coalition opened by announcing that the group wanted to be elected to Senate even though at the informal debate Wednesday presidential candidate Dennis Chanay told audience members not to vote for him.
After that debate Chanay and vice presidential candidate Johnathan Wilson received an e-mail from the elections commissioner asking that only candidates seeking election show up to Monday's debate.
Chanay and Wilson said they would run on the platforms of creating stricter spending regulations for Senate and reforming the election process to end censorship.
In the closing statements the coalition withdrew itself as a coalition actively seeking office because the real issue it wanted
students to focus on was the referendum to cut $46 a semester from required campus fees.
Chanay said that it was time for Senate to make a change. He said that until now that had not happened and that the referendum he supported was the place to start.
"Programs continue to pile up while Senate has become a crutch for some organizations," he said.
Chanay said it was time to give students knowledge to make informed votes rather than handing them buttons, T-shirts and flvers.
Election polls will be open today and Wednesday. Students can vote either online at electionku.edu or at the physical polling sites at Mrs.E's and Wescoe Beach.
