The debate is sponsored by the Lycoming College Political Science Club; Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society; College Democrats and College Republicans. It will be held in the Barclay Lecture Hall (G-11) of the Heim Building beginning at 7 p.m.

Dr. Williamson, who teaches courses in American politics, sought to bring the debate on campus as a educational tool . "This [the judicial race] is a contest with county-wide appeal and one in which the candidates appear to be equally popular. I wanted both our students and the community to have a chance to meet and hear the candidates in person," says Williamson.

Questions may be submitted beforehand to Dr. Jonathan Williamson Williams@lycoming.edu.
