Bio:

of Hudson, WI, is a junior at Ripon College, Ripon, WI, majoring in History and German, and hopes to become a teacher or professor. He has been active in journalism since high school and at Ripon he has enthusiastically helped raise funds from alumni and worked to improve library facilities. He is also a member of the Student Senate. In response to the tendency to invite only liberal guest speakers whose views were accepted at face value without comment, Brandon organized the Campus Forum, a group comprised of faculty, staff and students whose goal is to stimulate the discussion and exchange of ideas presented by visiting speakers regardless of their political leanings. A senior Ripon College official says that Brandons leadership in starting the Campus Forum "is an excellent reflection of (his) ability to visualize an idea and make it a reality." He has been a leading activist in his College Republican club and volunteered in the Alan Keyes presidential campaign as deputy coordinator of Students for Keyes last summer in addition to contributing his time and efforts to other state and local political campaigns.
