In recent opinion pieces, The Chronicle has decried the lack of student interest and activity in Durham politics. In recognition of this problem, the Duke Democrats and the College Republicans are cohosting a Durham Mayoral Forum this Tuesday the 23rd, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in Page Auditorium.
Both incumbent Mayor Bill Bell and Councilman Thomas Stith will be discussing their approach to crime and Duke-Durham relations, among other issues. In addition, students will be able to directly question the candidates on matters important to them. It is our sincere hope that Duke students take advantage of this forum to learn about the mayoral candidates and ultimately vote during the elections.
