Satellite to carry Election ’88 debate live By Robbyn L. Lister News Editor Two days of debates between presidential candidates will be shown on the Texas A&M cam pus live via satellite Thursday and Friday beginning at 7:15 p.m. in 601 Rudder. MSC Political Forum is spon soring the Election ’88 broadcast in conjunction with College Satel lite Network and the Texas Presi dential Debates. The debates will take place on the Southern Methodist Univer sity campus in Dallas, with the Democrats featured on Thursday and the Republicans taking the stage on Friday. The broadcast will be seen on more than 500 campuses nationwide. Campuses participating in the broadcast have been asked to poll their audiences about how they intend to vote and then report the results to Dallas. The results of the polls will be announced at 9 p.m. each night. Tracy Stoll, national programs director for Political Forum, said that before the debates begin at 8 p.m., A&M students participating in the program will be asked to mark a ballot with their choices for president. Political Forum committee members will phone the ballot results to SMU, she said. Students also will hh\kf‘Uhe chance to ask the candidates ques tions and discuss campaign issues using special phone lines. Stoll said that A&M students will be able to write down their questions, which will be called in by committee members as they are received. She said three or four of the candidates should re main after the debate to answer • the students’ questions on the air. But she said A&M students may not be able to get all of their ques tions answered. “Whether a question is aired depends on how many calls there are during the debates,” she said.
