More than two dozen current and retired faculty members at St. Vincent College released a letter to President Bush yesterday criticizing his policies and expressing the hope that his visit to Latrobe next week to address graduating seniors "turns your heart."

The letter, signed by 29 current and past faculty, opens with a promise "of Benedictine hospitality ... in welcoming you to our campus. We honor your presence as we would any visitor."

But it goes on to say, "Just as we will welcome your presence, we have the opportunity to welcome those who protest your visit. ... ur sense of caring and community compels us to share our misgivings about your policies."

The letter criticized Mr. Bush on several points, including the war in Iraq, the economy, the environment and free speech.
