Slippery Rock University is suffering from a malady that has affected other state agencies - state schools among them - for several years: privatiza- tion of state services. Cafeteria and janitorial services are the current squeaky wheel on the bandwagon of state employee cutbacks. And, unfortunately for everyone at Slip- pery Rock, we are the axel on which that squeaky wheel is set. Fault for the squeak cannot be placed soley on the University's trustees, or on the contractors who employ the university's service workers. The university and the contractors arc suffering from a down-hill problem that snowballed into an avalanche from the pinnacles at the governor's office and the state capitol in Harrisburg. The state's chief executives and legislators have made it clear that the state will cut back on the num- Letters bers of state employees to save commonwealth tax- payers money.
