sity Union.
Patrick Wright, Richards’ NT co-
ordinator, said students and faculty
members are encouraged to attend the
reception, which will be an informal
Chance for them to talk to Richards.
However, there is only room in the
suite for 200 people.
Wright, Dallas senior, said he did

“Her NT appearance will be her

uled to debate on KDFW-TV Channel
4 at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Wright said entertainer Jerry Jeff
Walker is tentatively scheduled to
