Dear Sir:

I would like to offer my
congratulations to Buildings and
Grounds for the superb job they
have done today of disrupting the
Service of Concern and Inter-
on As we met outside the door
they "happened" to drive to the
front of the chapel and vacuum
leaves with THAT noisy machine
(even though there was a mountain
of leaves more toward the Rotunda).
This resulted in no one being
able to hear a thing that was said
for the ten minute service.

I know from past experience
that the administration is not very
cooperative in matters of an ecclesiastical
nature but I just can not
believe they would encourage anything
of this sort. More likely it was
the actions of those few working
who were determined to disturb the
service; after all, anything connected
with the Moratorium must
be evil.

Of the scheduled activities, this
was a poor choice on the part of
those few employees responsible
had they only stopped to think.

Being one who believes in the
effectiveness of prayer both cooperate
and private I wish to urge all
who are concerned for peace to
pray to that end. It needn't be once
a month or once a week but every
day, those who call themselves
Christian is an obligation.
