The short-term goal of Bradley week is to get students to join in canvassing Manchester, N.H. this weekend, said Shai M. Sachs '01, who is coordinating the week's events.

This canvassing, billed as "Rally, Rock and Knock with Bill Bradley," will involve about 125 students from local colleges traveling to the site of the first primary for a "weekend of grassroots campaigning," according to the Bradley campaign.

At the end of the canvassing, volunteers will be rewarded with a concert by a local rock band--the "Rock" of the event's title.

The last canvassing effort in New Hampshire, which took place over Columbus Day weekend, attracted 35 Harvard students, McLoughlin said.

McLoughlin, who is from Newton, Mass., says he does not consider himself a political person. However, after reading about Bradley this summer, he decided to take part in a July canvassing effort that knocked on 35,000 doors in New Hampshire.

"I really like Bradley and believe he's the right guy," McLoughlin said.

Tonight, Bill Bradley week continues with a dinner discussion with State Representative Paul Demakis (D-Cambridge), from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. in the Quincy House private dining room. The discussion is open to all students.
