DFP: Kerry @ BU in only Boston-area college appearance 

"Touching on everything from taxes to tuition, Pell Grants to public service and retirement to the Red Sox, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry spoke to about 600 people packed into part of the George Sherman Union’s Metcalf Hall on Tuesday afternoon..."

Daily Free Press columnist Amy Horowitz has more: "I asked Rahman [a Howard Dean supporter] why he was wearing a John Kerry sticker and was one in the group of students standing behind Kerry on stage. He said someone asked him to, adding he thought it was because he’s Indian and they wanted a diverse group behind Kerry: "They were trying to pick minorities or something.'"

DFP editorial on it: "600 people, many of them students, turned out for the speech — the turnout was better than expected, with little publicity and on the coldest day of the semester thus far..."

Back from a brief hiatus, Northeastern News also has something on the Kerry event.
