SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Hoping to build on the American public's growing frustration with the war in Iraq, antiwar activists in San Francisco on Monday submitted a local ballot measure that would put the city on record as opposing the presence of military recruiters in colleges and public high schools.

If it qualifies for the November ballot and is approved, the nonbinding initiative, "College Not Combat," would not ban the armed forces from seeking recruits on campuses, an action that puts schools at risk of losing federal money.
