A POLITICAL CONVENTION BEGINS TOMORROW(LATER TODAY)IN MANCHESTER.
NO DELEGATES WILL BE CHOSEN?.AND NO MAJOR VOTES.
THE IDEA IS TO SPUR INTEREST IN A GROUP OF CITIZENS WHO DON'T USUALLY CARE ABOUT POLITICS.
NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC RADIO'S MARK BEVIS HAS MORE.
IT?S CALLED THE COLLEGE CONVENTION 2004.
SOME 1000 STUDENTS FROM 48 STATES ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND THE GATHERING.
THEY?LL HEAR FROM MOST OF THE MAJOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND FROM MANY OF THE LESSOR KNOWN.
AND THEY?LL GET A CHANCE TO DO WHAT MOST PEOPLE THEIR AGE DON?T DO?..GET INVOLVED.
WAYNE LESPERANCE IS AN ASSISTANT POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR AT NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE?
HE?S ALSO THE CO-DIRECTOR OF THE CONVENTION.
