I was more than a little disappointed in the University in their handling of the Tim Russert talk. It is not often that the students get to hear someone of his stature speak on our campus.

What does the University do? I don't know the exact number, but it looked like they packed about 150 people in the auditorium at McKenna, while a number that size was left outside.

Those remaining either had to stand in the hallway or leave. To the organizers: Next time you get a high-profile person to talk, try to get a bigger auditorium.
