THE TIMES-DEMOCRAT erroneously reported in
Thursday's edition the amount of the architectural fee on a
change order for construction at Western Oklahoma State
College The fee for the architectural firm William A. Ap-
pleby and Associates should have been $4,334.60 rather than
$84,662 that was reported. The Times-Democrat regrets the
error and is glad to set the record straight.
