Dear Editor: They're two items of concerr that I would like to discus~ about facilities at Wright State The first concern is the . roac through the woods. The other i ~ the lack of recreation facilities at Wright State. The "road" through the woods looks like some drunk got a dozen land mines and just raised hell. The Vietcong couldn't do any better. My ques tion: Why can't temporary but adequate repairs be made on the road until the new one is com pleted? By repairs I mean some real gravel (Not boulders) being packed and rolled every month or sooner if necessary. They say the new road will be completed in the spring but if I remember correctly the student union was supposed to have been completed a long time ago . Therefore, will the benevolent administration please advise the "road crew" to get with it before my car is torn up.
