Undergraduate students at colleges and universities throughout the region are learning how to use public deliberation as well as debate and expert information sources to weigh campaign issues during the upcoming election season.

The Cheney-Edwards debate, one of four sponsored by the Presidential Debate Commission, will be held on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, October 5, 2004 at 9:00 p.m. (Bush-Kerry debates will be held September 30 at the University of Miami, October 8 at Washington University in St. Louis, and October 13 at Arizona State University.)
