developed into a full-blown media event, with
some of Winston-Salem's and the state's top
politicians and political contenders on hand to
share the spotlight.
Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young had stopped
in the city Monday on a voter registration swing
through the state. But, before speaking to
students at Winston-Salem State University,
whom he later urged to take charge of their
futures by voting, Young visited Shiloh Baptist
Church for lunch, fellowship with other
Democrats and a barrage of questions from
the press.
Young's favorite question came early in the

the Sunday night debate between Walter Mondale
and Ronald Reagan.
"Mondale was clearly the most forceful,
dominant person in the debate," said Young,
a U.N. ambassador in President Jimmy
Carter's administration. "The debate gave
people a chance to see Mondale. He was

see Ronald Reagan without a TelePrompTer.
"I thought nothing would ever get to the
Teflon president, but I realized he was a
TelePrompTer president. What we need in the
White House is not a presicfent^who can run
