IOP Celebrates Big Night of Politics

And at 9 p.m., the IOP will show the debate.

In Boston, students can attend the debate-watching parties for their candidates, but strict limitations have been placed on the number of students who can participate.

Robert R. Porter '00-'02, chair of Harvard Students for Bush, said he "sent out a big e-mail for the 450 person GOP list," highlighting a pre-debate rally at 7 p.m.

Fifty students will also have the chance to be a part of the "roving rally team"--a bus entourage that will target areas around the debate site that need an influx of Bush supporters, Porter said.

Students willing to spend $125 may also attend a pre-debate fundraiser with Governor Bush, Gov. A. Paul Cellucci and U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts (R-Okla.), though Porter said he could get "30 to 40 students in."

Then there's the debate-watching party itself, to be held at the Murphy Memorial Rink in South Boston. Bush himself will make a post-debate appearance.

College Democrats have also mobilized forces for the vice president. They estimate 300 Harvard students will join a pre-debate rally in Columbus Park, which adjoins the U-Mass campus.
