Wilder's campaign also released a statement in which Wilder pledged to provent any weakening of the law. "The right-to-work law is a pillar of Virginia's success story," Wilder said, "and it will be as safe and secure with Governor Wilder as it has been with Governors Robb and Baliles." Wilder's campaign also called Larson "a liar" with "absolutely no credibility" and said Coleman's campaign is resorting to "desperate tactics." Coleman said the tape shows that Wilder is "so lacking in personal integrity that he would take two positions at once." 1 Wilder, who said he would not show up for the confrontation sought by Coleman, went to the College of William Mary in Williamsburg, where he faced hecklers who shouted "Why do you lie?" at a student rally.

Coleman called the news conference and invited Wilder to attend to explain the tape, which contains comments Wilder made to United Mine Workers at a private meeting last summer. The National Right to Work Committee Wednesday released a the tape on which Wilder appears to pledge support for legislation that the committee says would weaken Virginia's right-to-work law. Reed Larson, president of the committee, said during a state Capitol news conference that excerpts of the tape will be included in a 60-second radio advertisement the committee will place around the state on behalf of Coleman. The tape, which Larson said the committee received last week, was made July 31 during a meeting Wilder held with officials and members of the United Mine Workers union, which is on strike against Pittston Coal Group Inc.

Although the meeting, at UMW Local 28 headquarters in Castle-wood, was closed to the media, many news organizations reported that it occurred. During a news conference Tuesday, Larson had accused Wilder of holding a "secret" meeting with union officials and pledging his support for an amentment to the right-to-work law.

Police reports thing about abortion to one group and another thing to another." Coleman opposes abortion but has said he would not work toward changing the state's liberal abortion law, which polls show most Virginians support. However, during the GOP primary campaign last spring, Coleman said he would try to get abortions banned except to save the life of the mother. Wilder, at the William Mary rally, noted that some of the chanting students live outside Virginia and said Coleman has proposed limiting out-of-state enrollment at state universities to 10 percent. About a third of William Mary's 5,200 undergraduates are from outside the state.

"I will fight for your, right to be here," Wilder said. Some Wilder supporters held their campaign posters in front of the faces of the loudest protesters, who stood just a few feet from the candidate. A couple of students shoved each other and some of the anti-Wilder signs were ripped. Cries of "We want Doug" competed with shouts of "No more lies" as Wilder tried to speak. "Let me tell the truth.

Let me tell it," a smiling Wilder told the crowd. The truth, he said, is that he will be elected governor Tuesday. VIRGINIA LOTTERY COUPONS EVER THURSDA WAYNESBORO Willow Oak Plaasa Open Mon. -Sat. 8a.m.-10p.m.
