Students Scramble for Tickets to See Obama at CCSU (minimum wage speech)
NBC Connecticut ^

Posted on 03/03/2014 6:00:56 PM PST by matt04

Students at Central Connecticut State University flipped on their computers and waited anxiously for an email that would give them the chance to see President Obama speak at their school on Wednesday.

“Every single computer was full,” said student Keanii Munoz, who stopped first at the science lab, then headed to the student union in search of a free machine. “Everybody’s been trying to register.”

The link to reigster arrived around noon in a much-anticipated email. Students refreshed their inboxes until the message came, then hoped luck was on their side as they clicked through.

“I finally got the email at 12:08,” said CCSU student Ethan Sadoian. “It took several attempts to get into the registration page [but] I finally did.”

It was too late for Sadoian. He logged onto the Web site to find the 1,000-plus tickets had already been reserved.

Munoz, on the other hand, was more fortunate.

“I’m really excited,” he said. “I was definitely not going to miss an opportunity to see Obama.”

...

Obama will focus on his push to raise the minimum wage. He’ll be joined by Gov. Dannel Malloy, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin.

Stop insulting boxes of rocks. A rock is by far more intelligent than all the students in that room.

Too bad they don’t eat each other alive in the process. Would improve the gene pool immensely.

Wonder why he chose that Univ - I looked it up as I figured it was on the small side and I was curious - Spring 2014 - 11,155 total students and it’s in New Britain, CT - - are there golf courses nearby?

Don't laugh. If they have the word “Studies” in their major, the minimum wage may be very important to them.

One suspects suspects that this is an artificially teensy venue (a gym?), thus the scramble for tickets involved a comparative few at CCSU.

(If CCSU held a rock concert, would it be at this gym? Don't know, just asking.)

CCSU is there for people who couldn’t get into the local community college. :-)
