"We are dealing here with an outlaw government, a criminal government," Nader said. "We have to face up to it."

Nader challenged the audience.

"Does it upset you? Give you any sense of indignation? Join other students who are active, who struggle to end this war."

After the speech, President Robert G. Bottoms said he was pleased with the turnout.

"I think it was reassuring to hear someone articulate our worry about apathy, and our civic duty," Bottoms said. "I agreed when he said he felt students should have more say."

In the end, Nader stressed the importance of global social change and living life without regrets.

"When you leave DePauw and go out into society, given our powerful role in the world, you are living in the country where you have the greatest potential to improve the world," Nader said. "Don't look back in 15,000 or 20,000 days with regret of what you missed, which is the great work of life on this earth and the pursuit of social justice."
