equivalent of two blocks from the President and well-hidden. The day of the speech was crisp, but clear. Work- ers were on the quad at 5am. About 8 everyone was cleared from the area, and special teams covered every inch with dogs to insure that noth- ing was on the quad or nearby which could harm the President. Once they were satisfied it was safe, they opened the gates. Everyone who want- ed to see the President had to go through a metal detector at the North end of the quad. Everyth- ing else was roped off. People were requested to leave books, backpacks, purses, etc. at home. Cameras were allowed in, but even these were not considered safe. Every so often one of the secret servicemen would click off a couple of frames — just to make sure they weren ' t wired to explode or anything. The view from surround- ing buildings would have been great, but all those buildings were closed and sealed off. Local high schools sent busses to campus for the pre- sentation. Many high school bands and cheer- leaders also showed up adding to the festive at- mosphere. It was a good old-fashioned GOP rally. Many Republican notables shared the stage with President Reagan including Nevada ' s former governor, Senator Paul Laxalt. Hopefuls were also in attendance. — Governor Robert List, seeking re-election, Barbara Vucanovich, hoping to fill Nevada ' s new congressional seat, and Bri- an McKay, running for Attorney General. Elec- tions were less than a month away, and being seen with the President wasn ' t going to hurt any- one. (Elections ended with Vucanovich and McKay victorious.) The crowd was very excited by the time President Reagan ' s motorcade ar- rived about 11:45. The program had started about an hour before, hosted by local personality Pete Carothers. President Reagan ' s speech seemed to say I ' m only half-way through. Let me finish. He blamed much of the county ' s economic woes on his Democratic predecessors and urged people to elect representatives who would help the country continue on the road to economic recovery. The November elections were viewed across the country as a report card on REAGONOMICS. In Nevada, at least, election results suggest that he ' s passing. President Rea- gan ' s visit to UNR was extremely well received. Renoites, and especially the University, were proud to have our country ' s Chief Executive in our community. » ' ■ ' JIjF
