^RC's value to the University, value to the
environment and value to the students is self
evident
Ofum has yet to make a decision whether or not
PNRC wrfl be allowed to remain on campus Law
students believe the longer he puts off a decision
the greater the chances NWF will cancel program
funding
Whatever Ofum s decision the evidence indicts
him as bemg too sensitive to business pressure to
ta*e a firm stand m favor of PNRC He would rather
sacrifice a valuable law program than dare incur
the displeasure of business interests
