Carl Bernstein and Ron Paul to speak at Penn State

Final details are in the works to bring investigative journalist Carl Bernstein and politician Ron Paul to Penn State in April, Chairman of the College Republicans Jordan Harris said.

Harris said the speaking event will be a follow-up to last years debate organized by the College Republicans between Newt Gingrich and Robert Gibbs, however this years event will be more discussion-style.

It will be more of a discussion than a debate that was between Gibbs and Gingrich [last year], but [Bernstein and Paul] will offer many points of contrast related to different issues on American policy, Harris (senior - history and economics) said.

Harris said he hopes to bring Bernstein and Paul to speak on April 15, which is also Tax Day in the U.S.

He said he expects the event to be held in Eisenhower Auditorium, but the location has not been finalized yet.

This is a chance for College Democrats and Republicans and UPUA and different organizations to come together again to provide this service for the student body, and last year, the reception from the student body was great, Harris said.

Funding for the event has also not been finalized yet, Harris said, but he added that he has organized more than 12 events through the College Republicans and has never failed to get funding.
