Dean, Burr coming to Davidson


Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr will appear at Davidson College on Thursday.

Dean will speak at 2 p.m. on behalf of Barack Obama, while Burr will speak 3:30 p.m. on behalf of John McCain. The events are open to the public.

Dean's talk is sponsored by the Young Democrats and Burr's speech is sponsored by the College Republicans. The two groups have launched a bipartisan drive to get all of Davidson's 1,700 students registered to vote.

Thursday's visit by Dean and Burr will occur one day before the Oct. 10 voter registration deadline. Students will be able to register at the event.
