STEUBENVILLE, OHIO, (ZENIT).- Alan Keyes' last campaign stop before the Super Tuesday primaries, which are expected to decide the race, was at the Franciscan University of Steubenville.

    An acclaimed orator, Dr. Keyes spoke for 45 minutes Monday evening, followed by a question and answer session with the audience, which has become his campaign trademark. The public was invited to this free rally.

    "Dr. Keyes is an exemplary model of leadership," says Tom Buck, president of the Franciscan University Student Association (FUSA), the sponsor of Keyes visit. "We brought him here to show our students the leadership qualities they should exhibit upon graduation."

    A former US Ambassador to the United Nations Social and Economic Council, Keyes first ran for president as a Republican candidate in 1996. He hosts the nationally syndicated radio talk show "The Alan Keyes Show: America's Wake Up Call," and is a recognized leader in the conservative movement. ZE00030520
