Debate. Continue fro be open to students. Government and International Studies professor Jerel A. Rosati said, "I don't know the rationale for the seating arrangements, but it seems to me that some percentage could have been saved for students. The issue is: Which students?" GINT professor Morris J. Rlarhman caid it would he nice to have some students at the debate, but that it is an SCETV function, and it's their choice. Blachman, who attended the 1978 Reagan-Buckley debate, said being there is quite different from watching the debate on television. "For instance, Reagan isn't nearly as imposing in person as he seems to be on TV," he said.

"Most students never get to see firsthand events such as this, and with this in our back yard, I feel that we should have the opportunity to see this debate in the Coliseum." GOT A NEWS UP?

Columbia attorney Jim Chaffin said he and other veterans will hold a press conference today 1 p.m. at Memorial Park and announce the site and time of the protest. Chaffin said the protest is still in the planning stages, and he did not know how many veterans would participate. Chaffin said his group will not protest Quayle's appearance at the game but will protest his alleged use of family influence to get into the National Guard, thus avoiding serv: 4.1 \r: \\t lllg III II1C V IClllillll W ill .

Chaffin said, "If he had just joined the Guard and admitted he he didn't want to go to Vietnam because it was a nasty war and been truthful to the public, we wouldn't have been so upset." Some Vietnam veterans were also upset with Quayle because of his voting record on veteran's issues while serving as an Indiana senator, Chaffin said. "His voting record on vet issues is dismal, and he has misrepresented himself to the public. He claims to be a hawk and to care about veterans, ^ In September the 311 OLINA PRC ptember 5-9 & 12-16 'rint Sale Russell House Patio I sptember 16 Parents Weekend Dance Music by Oasis 8:00 pm Russeil Hou I ,11 Dtember 22 l> ames Mapes, Hypnotist 7:30 pm Russell House For more informs These events sponsored in p ts preach >f apathy 4 4On the college campuses there is an awful lot Evangelis on evils c By JOHN MILLS III Staff writer At the request of USC's Great Commission Christian Fellowship, two evangelists shouted the gospel to students on the Russell House patio yesterday. Few students chose to sit and listen as speakers Steve Nelson and Rob Irvine tried to convey what they believe to be forgotten issues on college campuses. Their biggest concern is student apathy. "On the college campuses there is an awful lot of apathy, and it's getting men and women into a lot of trouble, not really thinking through the consequences of their actions. And we'd just like to enlighten people that there is a way to reap good things by having Christ in your life," said Rob Irvine,who visits campuses across the nation. The USC group offers more than just public speeches, said chapter president, George Miller.. "We have weekly Bible studies on campus, and we have 'Sunday Night Live' in Russell House 306 every weekend," he said. Miller said Bible study is held in Russell House 303, and both programs begin at 8 p.m. eterans j but his record doesn't match up," Chaffin said. But Jinny Wolfe, executive director of Columbia's campaign offices Victory '88, said the Vietnam vets planning the protest were making an issue out of something that should have never been an issue. "Last week it was proven that Dan Quayle had not used influence to get into the National Guard and that there were plenty of slots available at the time. This whole issue was shown to be just a tempest in a tea pot," Wolfe said. Wolfe also said Quayle served honorably in the National Guard and that he was a strong supporter of the national defence. Not all of Columbia Vietnam veterans are planning to protest or agree with Chaffin.

Rob Irvine Evangelist The national organization speaks about drugs, AIDS, morality, abortion and other issues that affect college campuses, Irvine said. Some students seemed uninspired by the speakers. "I think they should keep stuff like this personal rather than displaying it like this, because I think it turns a lot of people off," said a USC student who declined to be identified. "A lot of people come over here and see that, and it turns them off, because they want to avoid the situation," another USC student said. angered Quayle's service in the National Guard was an honorable way to serve the country during the Vietnam war, said Columbia native Robert Turnball. "At the time, like so many of us were doing, he was making a decision about his future which included serving his country. The way to do that was by going to law school and serving in the guard. I don't see anything wrong with that," Turnball said. Quayle will arrive at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport shortly after 5 p.m, according to campaign workers. He will then travel in Gov. Carroll Campbell's motorcade to WilliamsBrice Stadium. At the stadium, Quayle will tailgate with Gov. Campbell and guests in the same spot Vice President George Bush did last year, i I N ION ary >ell House Ballroom / id Talent Show Cabaret ssell House Ballroom
