Tom Brokaw
Note:
This event will also be simulcast to the Grove Stage and in 202 Farley Hall
OXFORD, Miss. - Tom Brokaw's appearance at the University of
Mississippi Sept. 25 may be tempered with a touch of sadness. Original
plans called for him to join NBC News anchor Tim Russert, who died
unexpectedly this year.
"Tim was so excited about appearing at Ole Miss. I will keep the date
and soldier on," Brokaw said in a recent e-mail to the university.
Brokaw, a former longtime NBC News anchor, plans to deliver a public
address at 7:30 p.m. in Fulton Chapel, followed by a
question-and-answer session. All tickets to the event have been
distributed, but the discussion is to be simulcast in Farley Hall
Auditorium (Room 202) and on the Grove Stage.
The program is among dozens of campus events planned around the first
2008 presidential debate, hosted at UM Sept. 26. It is one of several
sponsored by UM's Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics.

OXFORD, Miss. - The excitement that has been building for months at the
University of Mississippi officially kicked into high gear Sunday
evening, as more than 300 people gathered at the steps of the Lyceum

The 6 p.m. event featured a welcome from ASB President Graham Purcell
as well as greetings from UM Chancellor Robert Khayat and Oxford Mayor
Richard Howorth. Purcell, a senior political science major from
Louisville, acted as master of ceremonies.
