Bio Snapshot: Washington University's very own version of "Meet the Press" will make its debut on WUTV (http://www.wutv.wustl.edu/) , Cable Channel 22, in time for the presidential debate. The show is called "Political Bearings," and, according to Evan Susser, president of WUTV Productions, the show "will capitalize on the excitement surrounding the debate and do something that will be positive for the station and for the campus."

Susser notes that the Washington University TV station makes it possible for students to have "more than one set of eyes and ears. When the debate is over, students will be able to see how it affected the campus from several angles."

As he covers the debate, Susser says, "I cannot wait to see the skills that I am learning performed at the highest level."

In addition to his work at WUTV, Susser works as a tour guide with the Student Admissions Committee and performs with KARL, an improvisation comedy group. He has also served as an assembly representative for the Congress of the South 40 (http://www.cs40.com) , the governing body of the student residences.
