George W. (and company) is visiting Kansas State University today. They announced it last Wednesday with the following allotment of tickets:
6,000 K-State students
1,500 K-State staff and faculty
1,000 Military (800 from Fort Riley and 200 ROTC)
400 Landon patrons
300 special guests,
200 media and press
All the student tickets were gone in a day, but by the end of Friday, they still had about 200 faculty tickets left.
With these numbers and the diversity of the student body (really), it's not like they can control the audience like I've heard reported at other events.
The local peace and justice group has a demonstration planned that my wife and son are joining. I'll post later with any update on festivities. (And any interesting stories.)
