They should get a free ride, because not only does the military protect the freedom of lefty professors to preach from on high, it's paid for with my tax dollars when they take federal money.
We'll see how principled these institutions are when they have to go off the federal tit or let recruiters in. -----Original Message----- From: Larry C.

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.
