To clarify my position, I have no objection to military recruiting on campus. I object to the universities being required to pay for the "privilege." According to what I've read universities are required to provide a degree of admin support well beyond what corporate recruiters get.
Let the military pay for their own utilities, secretaries and copy paper. Why should they get a free ride. larry On 3/7/06, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Larry C.
