mm wm ith the presidential elections drawing near,

many watched the public debates and researched the

candidates and their beliefs. On November 28, several

students had the opportunity to experience first-hand a

live two-hour debate moderated by Anderson Cooper. The

event, held at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg, was

hosted by CNN in conjunction with the YouTube Website.

The eight candidates vying to be the Republican nominee

for president fielded video questions from the public via

YouTube.

Financial Aid

According to Mr. Brian Johnson, getting tickets was

♦financial assistance ♦grants ♦work scholarships ♦aca­
difficult. He said, "Dr. Cundiff asked me if I could get tickets

for his Argumentative Debate Class. I looked on the web

site for the state Republican Party. It said that the event

was closed; but if you have questions, call. I called and got

a voice mail so I left the message. A different person called

back and told me he could give me a ticket. I explained

that I was trying to get a group in. He said it probably could

not happen, but he wanted to know how many. I told him

fifteen. He got back with me and said he was able to get

eleven tickets. I was able to get the information to him

and CNN approved it. I have had comments from the local

Republican party as well as comments from the presiden­

tial representatives who have been very surprised that we

were able to get tickets." ◄ ►
