WASHINGTON, D.C. � The C-SPAN School Bus continues its trek around the country with a visit to Boise on Monday, Sept. 13.  During this visit, the C-SPAN School Bus will be available for tours and presentations, and will offer students an inside look at the 2004 Presidential campaign. From 8:30-11 a.m., the C-SPAN School Bus will be parked in Bronco Circle on the campus of Boise State University.  During this visit, the C-SPAN staff will provide tours and demonstrations of the bus and encourage those visiting the �bright yellow bus� to consider the resources the network provides on the political process, particularly during this crucial election year. C-SPAN representatives will also lecture on the current campaign and the media�s impact on the political process to Boise State political science professor Scott Yenor�s �Contemporary Political Ideologies� class from 9:40-10:30 a.m. in Multi-Purpose Building Room 211. Photographs of the Boise State visit will be shown on the �Washington Journal� morning program on Tuesday, Sept. 14. The C-SPAN School Bus is a 45-foot traveling TV production studio and media demonstration center, specially outfitted with television equipment, video monitors and computers. Half of the bus serves as a mobile classroom while the other half functions as a working production studio and interview set.
