November 1, 1978 - Senate debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters with the cooperation of Common Cause of Minnesota, held at the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center on the Macalester campus. Features DFL, I-R and American Party candidates for the six-year Senate seat. DFL incumbent Wendell Anderson arranged his appointment to the rest of Walter Mondale's Senate term when Mondale was elected vice president. Ever since, Anderson has fared poorly in several public opinion surveys. His I-R challenger, Rudy Boschwitz, held a 20-point lead over Anderson in the early days of the campaign; but in the latest Minnesota Poll, that lead has been cut to just 3 percent. Boschwitz has mounted an aggressive, expensive campaign in his effort to defeat Anderson. The American Party candidate, Sal Carlone, is a private investigator and general contractor who has never before sought public office. Tonight's panelists are Steve Dornfeld, staff writer for the Minneapolis Tribune; Karen Boros, WCCO Television reporter; and Ann Darby, deputy director of community outreach programs for the Minneapolis Urban League. The moderator is Helene Borg, president of the League of Women Voters.
