a r in s •PEACE TALKS «ACHILLI Drinking age, students dominate session During the 1986 Legislative Session, the most hotly debated issues were those dealing with those 18 years of age and younger. The Federal Government passed a law stating that states would lose their feder- al highway funds if they did not raise their legal drinking age to 21. The bill to raise South Dakota s drinking age to 21 died in a house committee. It was tabled largely due to the fact that the state would get back all of the funds that had been withheld as long as they raised the age by October 1, 1988. Lawmakers decided to override the gov- ernor's veto making two years of foreign language no longer a requirement for en- trance into a state college. South Dakota, always in need of national attention, let the voters decide if they wanted to move the presidential primary to February. If moved. South Dakota would hold the third primary in the na- tion. Supporters of this feel it will bring presidential candidates to South Dakota and give South Dakota a bigger voice in the selection of the president. Fearing party unity would be split, con- troversy arose when Governor Bill Jank- low announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat held by longtime friend and ally. Sen. Jim Abnor. w South Dakota's drinking age remained the same despite federal pressure to raise it to 21. 6 News
