NEWS RELEASE
Three competitors who are seeking the 1st Congressional District seat in the Nov. 2 general election ballot will discuss current issues in a live broadcast forum Thursday on the Arkansas State University campus.
Green Party candidate Ken Adler, Democratic nominee Chad Causey and Republican nominee Rick Crawford all have accepted invitations to participate in the program. They are running for Arkansas’ 1st Congressional District seat, which became open earlier this year when Rep. Marion Berry decided not to seek re-election to the seat he has held since 1997.
Thursday night’s program will be broadcast live on ASU-TV, Channel 18 on the Jonesboro Suddenlink cable network, and on KASU, 91.9 FM. The KASU signal is available worldwide through Internet streaming at KASU.org. The program will also be replayed later on Channel 18.
The 90-minute forum will take place in the ASU-TV studio, located in the Education-Communications Building, starting at 6:30 p.m.
The candidates will field questions from a panel of journalists, including Jonesboro Sun Editor Roy Ockert Jr.; KASU’s local host of “Morning Edition” Mark Smith; and senior radio-television major Shannon O’Nale from Cabot, who is the student station manager of ASU-TV. The moderator will be Dr. Richard Wang, chairman of the ASU Department of Political Science.
The debate is a joint production of The Sun, the ASU Department of Political Science, ASU-TV and KASU radio.
Limited seating is available in the studio audience on a first-come, first-served basis. The studio will be opened at 5:30 p.m. and closed for final preparations at 6:15.

Trump immigration protest at LR: Quick and fierce
It was not even 24 hours ago that Sophia Said, director of the Interfaith Center; City Director Kathy Webb and others decided to organize a protest today of Donald Trump's executive order that has left people from Muslim countries languishing in airports or unable to come to the US at all — people with visas, green cards,a post-doc graduate student en route to Harvard, Google employees abroad, families. I got the message today before noon; others didn't find out until it was going on. But however folks found out, they turned out in huge numbers, more than thousand men, women and children, on the grounds of the state Capitol to listen to speakers from all faiths and many countries.
