CLINTON ● Continued from 1 implement universal health care coverage and a more effi cient system to keep track of medical records. Clinton said the country is in need of a new energy policy, emphasizing the importance of personal conservation for the good of the community. She said she would create a “strategic energy fund” that would take subsidies currently given to oil companies to fund research in alternative energy, such as solar energy and plant- derived biofuels. Clinton criticized President Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq, saying that his troop escalation should be stopped, the military should be better equipped with armor and the government of Iraq should no longer be given a “blank check.” She said it is time for Iraqis to take control of their country. “They have to begin defending themselves or we should not give them another penny,” Clinton said. She addressed potential concerns about the effect of her gender on her capacity to lead. “I know there are some THE DAILY GAMECOCK … who ask themselves, ‘Can capability to do about as Kelly Bobrow / a woman be president?’ I good as anybody else.

Herring agreed but also said he enjoys having something to do on campus. Kiser said being a WUSC DJ is a great way to unwind from classes. Even though their genre is metal and the common misconception is that metal has a lot of cursing, neither Kiser nor Herring feel limited in what they can play. They also feel that working for WUSC is a great way to get a genre of music out there and to educate the public about that genre. In a world where commercialized music radio reigns, WUSC offers an alternative. Students can enjoy their underground favorites on the radio, which is something that rarely happens.
