FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bumper Stickers for New York Relief The student group Latinos in Technical Careers (LTC) at California State University, Chico has begun a campaign to raise money for the victims of the terrorist attacks in New York City last Tuesday, Sept. 11.LTC members are producing bumper stickers and buttons which read "NY is U.S." to signify the connection we all have to the people of New York and LTC's support for them. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross for the victims in New York. The group will have the bumper stickers and buttons daily in the Free Speech Area on campus beginning Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. LTC members are hoping that groups that may want to sell the items will come to their table in the Free Speech Area. They are anticipating ordering in larger numbers as community groups take up their cause. LTC members have already gotten contributions from a variety of on- and off-campus groups, including the Associated Students, The Women's Center, Community Action Volunteers in Education, Signs and Graphic Designs, and Buttons Plus. Individuals who don't make it to campus to buy buttons and stickers can make donations at both Washington Mutual branches in Chico or contribute directly to the American Red Cross:
