GOP's Rove making 1st of 2 Minn. campus speeches

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — Two Minnesota college campuses are getting visits this week from an influential White House figure during former President George W. Bush's tenure.

Senior Bush adviser Karl Rove planned to address a Concordia College gathering Tuesday night. It was organized by the Concordia Conservatives and College Republicans. He was expected to fill a 700-seat auditorium on the Moorhead campus.

On Thursday, he is scheduled to appear at St. Olaf College in Northfield at the request of that school's student-run Political Awareness Committee.

Rove has been touring the country to reflect on the past administration and critique the present one.
