With Graham Chapel standing sentinel, the bright lights of the MSNBC set draw students to the live broadcasts Oct. 7-8. Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton and his wife, Risa Zwerling Wrighton, greet President George W. Bush upon his arrival Oct. 8 at the Athletic Complex. Welcoming Sen. John Kerry to the University are (from left) Student Union President David Ader, Graduate Professional Council President Amy Block and the Wrightons. (From left) Kathryn Fahlund, Lisa Kohn and Annie Mehlman share a laugh while working the Students for Choice booth at the Rock the Vote event Oct. 9 in Brookings Quadrangle. The event aimed to educate and motivate voters to be more politically active. The exhibit *American Presidents: Life Portrait*s — featuring the only complete collection of American presidential oil portraits by one artist, Chas Fagan — was housed in the Athletic Complex. After the intense 90-minute debate, the mood lightened considerably as many of the 140 town-hall participants got autographs and took photographs with Kerry (top) and Bush (above).
