Raleigh Welcomes President Anticipation and excitement could be seen in the faces of the crowd and felt in the air. The music blared as doggers per- formed for the waiting crowd. Protesters chanted from across the street, and downtown Raleigh was packed with people. What brought all of this about? Why — President Reagan ' s appearance at the Civic Center of course! On October 26, to the roar of thousands, the President arrived in Raleigh. He spoke on behalf of North Carolina Re- publicans in a rally which filled the Civic Center and left hun- dreds more outside listening to this talk over speakers. After the rally President Reagan attended several private conferences in- cluding one in honor of singer Kate Smith who w as presented with a Medal of Freedom. When the President finished his appearances, he slipped back to Air Force One and away from Raleigh, but those who were at the rally will never forget the day President Ronald Reagan came Meredith students Karen Dawson.
