ICR UNIGRS JU I0 Presidential debate sparks interest of student Excitement flows as Mondale arrives by Teresa Rohn Politics? What junior in high school really cares about politics? I certainly didn't until my sister asked if I would like to go to Kan- sas City to meet Walter Mondale. My sister's group, the College Young Democrats from the Uni- versity of Kansas, and the Demo- cratic groups from Kansas State and Washburn University went to help set up the after-debate party for Mondale. As soon as I got off the phone, telling her that I would love to go, I began learning all I could about the issues. We were all going to leave from the Union at KU. After arriving at the Radisson-Muehlbach Hotel and depositing all of our belongings in a reserved room, we set out to explore the area. We walked around for a while and then re- turned to the hotel to start making posters for the rally. Excitement rose as someone announced that the plane Mondale was on was ar- riving shortly. We took our posters and stood outside the hotel and be- gan yelling pro-Mondale slogans. Mondale soon arrived to a mass of very excited people who were hop- ing that they were looking at the next President of the United States. Mondale was rushed into the hotel by his many security guards to prepare for the evening's debate. We followed the mob of people amidst patriotic Radisson-Muehlbach site for post- JUNIORS SCHOLARS balloon debate celebration and began decorating the ballroor once again. We filled it with ret white, and blue balloons and Mor dale-Ferraro posters. As five o'clock neared, we mad our way back to the hotel to entc the ballroom.
