Water Students' Main Concern
KENTUCKY...
College students attending a conference in Lexington have chosen the world's water crisis as the greatest threat facing their generation. The 51 students, representing each state and Washington, DC, voted on the choice Wednesday during the Henry Clay Center for Statesmanship's third annual Student Congress. Water beat out oil dependency and terrorism to top the "threat index" vote. The five-day conference is held at the University of Kentucky Patterson School of Diplomacy, Transylvania University and the historic Ashland Henry Clay estate in Lexington. It focuses on the theory and practices of statesmanship.
