Dear Editor: The administration has no money for anything ex cept the B-l bomber. A long time ago the American Friends Service Commit tee said that the Soviet ..Union would be destroyed by rockets long before'B-ls would ever arrive there. Now maybe the U.S. does nand rnmp tnrt nf vehicle in order to carry troops, drop bombs in a Vietnam-type war or for the generals to lolly gag around in. Well, why not send these specifications to the air craft manufacturers? Tell them to build an aircraft that can take off like con ventional jet air crafts, but when it is on the edge of space it can fire some rockets, sending it into orbit. Then when it has arrived over the target area it can come down and deliver whatever is needed. Such an aircraft mass produced would show to the Soviet Union our technical superiority. I can’t under stand the Russians and their military build up. What are they planning to A>, kill all of us because we won’t accept an economic system that is unable to grow enough food even with the large land mass that the Soviet Union has? Our economic system also has some bad apples such as the organized unions that price cars out of the market or workers who want things like double time and half. All that I want out of life is three meals and a roof, hut I havp hn^ a hard tirpj*_. getting that and there are a lot of other people like me. I think it would be fairer to all of the works if the le^^tor^wouj^egislate labor practices. But right now the agricultural work ers don’t get time and one half for over eight hours. I worked in a green house and that place was like.a factory. Though people de seryg time and one half. If Food Town and Kroger think there is money in staying open the Sabbath —finv thnn thnir nrr day then their workers are entitled to time and one half. We have too many people who think that greed is more important than God. When they go up for judgement they will be sorry about that mistake in judgement. Sincerely, Bill J.

Campaign ot some existing buildings and bolstering and im provement of existing curriculum. "The $3 million expected to be raised from the pri vate sector through the WSSU Enhancement Cam paign," Horrigan said, “is . designed to fund priority needs for which full state support is not available." Funds to be raised by the campaign include $1 mil lion for the new business building, *1.3 million for the Blair Hall addition, *500,000 for an endowment _ fund for student scholar ships and *200,000, for en dowment to fund priority programs and curriculum needs, Horrigan said. "The improvements are essential for the University to realize its potential as a toR"h2tch educational insti tution, and win be possible only through the gerferous support of the private sec tor," Horrigan said. "Presently, the Univers ity receives approximately 75 percent of its support from state appropriations. The state's projected five year budget increase for WSSU of just six percent is insufficient, to support existing programs. And much needed new pro grams," he said, “cannot be implemented without additional funds. "Success of the Enhance ment Campaign will be a long stride toward the de ~ vetopment of an outstand ing full-service public uni versity for our progressive area," Horrigan said.
