Homing said, 'We appreciate the sup¬
port we got from the campus and the lo¬
cal community, and encourage students
who might be interested in the Air Force
option if they are interested in il (a career
in the Air Force] after graduation."
In order for the CSUF unit to remain
intact, Sullivan said, it is necessary that
"the number of people in this unit stays
high, and then we don't have any danger
of closing."
The Air Force ROTC is having prob¬
lems in recruiting people.
Sullivan explained that the "word got
to everybody that we were closing, but
the ward did not get out that we were go¬
ing to be here."
"We were hurt by the closure news, our
recruiting efforts were hurt; it will take us
years [lo overcome it]," Sullivan aid.
Sullivan said that at the present time
there are 91 students in the Air Force
ROTC program, but "traditionally we had
110 to 120 students."
The aim of the Air Force ROTC,
according to Sullivan, is to try to get the
number of students up to 110 to 120 by
the year 1990.
One way the Air Force ROTC recruits
people is by advertising.
Sullivan explained that the advertising
for the Air Force "is done by a single ad¬
vertising agency that docs advertising near
local attachments." The local attach¬
ments, according to Sullivan, don't have
any control over what goes into the adver¬
tisements.
As a result the campus Air Force
ROTC is having problems in advertising
because it cannot specify what should be
advertised and, Sullivan said, in the ads
shown in the valley, "I can'L.tell people
we an open,"
At the moment in its effort lo recruit
fludrrsB, emphasis is being placed on at¬
tracting engineering, and especially nurs¬
ing students of which there is a general
shortage of in the Air Force.
In order to attract nurses, the Air Force
ROTC is offering up to three and a half
yean of scholarship to qualified nursing
students who can apply for scholarships
before they are accepted.
Sullivan said that the local Air Force
ROTC should not be hurt in the future.
not even by the outcome of the Nov-
ember presidcaatial cloctions.
"No matter who gets elected, the
decision will be the same [the Air Force
ROTC will remain open]. We in ROTC
are not very much affected by politics.
The Defense Department is, but we as a
single entity are not," Sullivan said.
Students who enroll in the Air Force
ROTC, according to Sullivan, are taught
leadership and management skills. While
enrolled in the program. Sullivan said,
students get "hands-on experience of lead¬
ing or being led.*
When asked who should enroll in the
Air Force ROTC, Sullivan said not every¬
body. "We are another option for students
at Fresno Stale. We offer another option,
of going into military as military offi¬
cers. Not everybody should be in ROTC,
not everybody fits."
One of the hurdles that need io be faced
in recruiung, according to Sullivan, is to
eliminate misconceptions about die Air
Force ROTC. He said "many people hate
the military. People also have heard bad
things about the military from those who
were in Vietnam. I would like to clear up
misconceptions."

from universities until affirmative action
goals are met There is an old saying thai
a person will bite their nose to spite their
space. Gamboa wants to see more His¬
panics in high positions but at the same
time wants to eliminate the funding to ed¬
ucation to get them there. If that's not a
paradox, I don't know what is.	
I feel that everyone should have an
equal chance at obtaining their desires and
goals, and unfortunately there is racial dis¬
crimination. But the affirmative action
laws make discrimination against whites
legal!

and Lawrence Guerre I feel that I must
come to the defense of Donnell Alexand¬
er. I don't approve of Barry Grove's opin¬
ions, and I'm not a bigot or homophobic.
However, I do know a logical argument,
and Jose and Lawrence's letter was far
from that.
First off you called Donnell Alexand¬
er's article a "defense of Barry Grove's at¬
tack." The article was not a defense of the
attack but a defense of your attempt to
remove him for what he wrote. You then
went on to call his defense a lack of
courage. LACK OF COURAGE?!! Where
I come from, courage is standing up for
something unpopular at cost to yourself.
From the barrage of hate mail I've seen in
the Collegian, I thought it took a lot of
guts to hold firm to a principle of journal¬
istic freedom while you screamed in uni¬
son for his head.
After this neat opening, you justified
what you did by calling criticism of the
press and petitioning democratic rights.
Criticism is, of course, everyone's right,
but petitioning is a right of the people to
use against government, which is sup¬
posed to be representing the majority
view, not used to shut up private in¬
dividuals who reflect their own opinions
and are not elected by you to represent
yours. May I remind you that Hitler was
elected to power by a democratic German
government before he mass-violated peo-
