Watts said the importance rail issue, as well as the proximity of the presidential election, are enough to draw student voters out in record numbers. "Students recognize that we have the ability to bring light rail to Austin with our votes," Watts said. "We can be the deciding factor." But Brandon LcBlanc.. a junior in history who attended part of the rally, said he thinks students should not support a rail system in Austin because it has proven to be ineffective in other cities. LcBlanc said he felt the light-rasystem in his hometown of Dallas had not been successful in reducing congestion or increasing rider-shi- p on public transit. "Something needs to be done, but there arc so many other alternatives to be considered first," LeBianc said.

Lieberman said limits exist as to what government can do to strengthen the moral fabric of the country and it is not designed to dictate the behavior of citizens in America. Lieberman said he feared that while Americans have not abandoned their faith individually, they have abandoned the desire to articulate it in the public sphere. This has resulted in what he referred to as the "values vacu- day. The address, billed as a speech tra- ditional campaign speech attacking the opposing party and pushing his party's platform planks.

"I believe that our best hope for rekindling the American spirit and renewing our common values sions about particular issues," Lieberman said. But people of different faiths have come together to positively impact America, he said. For Lieberman, religion has been a unifying factor and drawing religion and faith into issues facing America is key for him, he is to have faith again," Lieberman said. "Not just in our hearts but in our communities. Not just in our private places of worship but in our public spaces of conversation. And not just in our separate beliefs but in our common commitment to our common purposes said.

"Now, with 40 years of experience gathered in this room tonight, we hope to pass along the torch to the next generation of Peace Corps volunteers." Those behind the master's program are confident it will increase the number of people who join the Peace Corps. Many students are unable to decide between going to graduate school or joining the Peace Corps. The new international program will allow students to do both. "We've been getting a lot of feedback from people interested in the program," said Josh Fliegel, regional manager of the Seattle Peace Corps Branch. "So far everyone is very pleased with how it is shaping up." Members of the Peace Corps were optimistic about the new program and excited about the event. "This ceremony is our chance to unite the community of Peace Corps volunteers and celebrate what has been accomplished," Fliegel said. THE DAILY Peace Corps volunteers from the past four decades gathered Tuesday at the University of Washington to celebrate the creation of a new Peace Corps Master's International Program. Marc Lindenberg, UW dean of the School of Public Affairs and Eilen Paquette, Peace Corps regional director, jointly signed a contract that established the new master's program at UW.
