Recruiter access necessary
Dear Editor:
You are sorely mistaken in that military recruiter access shouldn’t be linked to acceptance of federal funding [“Funding shouldn’t be tied to recruiter accecss,” Jan. 6].
As a stockholder in the “”United States of America”” corporation, I take exception to your holding out one hand for funding while using the other to hold the door closed for recruiter access. If you want the money, you allow access — it’s so simple even a theater arts major could understand it.
The one little aspect that you fail to take into consideration with allowing military recruiters on campus is this: There is no gun being held to anyone’s head to enlist in the military.
What do you have to fear from their presence on campus? Nothing — unless you don’t understand that “”free to think”” concept and worry that people will realize you have no tangible argument.
