RonDog's note:Students fill Burns Back Court for Carville and Coulter
By: Kathleen Rembacki
Issue date: 1/18/06 Section: News
Burns Back Court was packed to capacity last night as members of the LMU community piled in to see back-to-back speeches from political strategist James Carville and political commentator Ann Coulter as a part of the Loyolan's fourth annual First Amendment Week.
A line for the event began forming at 4:30 p.m., 90 minutes before the doors opened. There were 750 chairs set up in Burns Back Court, and many students stood in the back of the room once the chairs were all filled. When Carville's speech began, there were still hundreds of people waiting outside the Back Court, although when others left, those still waiting in line were allowed to enter.
"We were so happy that so many students came out to support the event, and it was unfortunate we could not accommodate everyone," said Loyolan interim Editor in Chief Natalie Nordseth. "It reflects so well on this university that there was such a positive response and we will definitely take that into consideration when planning next year's program."
Nordseth said that the Loyolan is already looking into speakers for next year's First Amendment Week, and encouraged the LMU community to submit suggestions. She can be contacted at nnordseth@theloyolan.com
The ROAR Network and LMUTV will replay Carville's speech and question and answer session as well Coulter's question and answer session from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. beginning today on channel six.
We will have MUCH BETTER photographs of our lovely Ann posted on this thread -- soon!It is a good thing that we had OUR OWN photographer on site. :o)
Great pics - there my friends is visual demonstration of the difference between Good and Evil. (Evil is on top :))
Good grief, what's with that oompah-loompah shirt Carville's wearing?
If last night's event was a test, LMU passed with flying colors!From the pre-FReep thread, that would be THIS place:Not only did they prove that they had good manners, they turned out in MUCH LARGER numbers than the nay-sayers had predicted, completely overwhelming the tiny venue chosen this FIRST of what now may be MANY similar events.

More on THAT, later.
One of the BIG winners of last night's event -- besides ANN, of course -- was THIS courageous (and determined) young woman, from www.laloyolan.com:
Natalie was one of the driving forces behind last night's ENORMOUS (if somewhat imperfect) success, which was sponsored by the LMU student newspaper, The LOYOLAN.

Way to go, NATALIE!Note to potential organizers of "Ann" events at OTHER colleges:NATALIE got to hang out with Ann, before AND after the event, as she SHE was the event co-ordinator.How's THAT for a reward for doing the right thing?
Its the expressions that betray their inner thoughts.
Other than that, the mans a moron.
Carville looks like a pack of life savers.
Coulter....well....oh baby come to Papa!!
Why does "Beauty and the Beast" come to mind right now?
Her Alma Mater desperately needs her.
LOL - I think my brother had a shirt like that back in the 7th grade.

That's not Carville!
He's just VILE !
Looks like he's pickin his nose and chuckin it into his coffee mug. Wouldn't surprise me. Carville is clearly mentally disordered.
