But who are the real good guys and who are the villains in this story? In fact, human rights commissions, religious organizations, the United Nations, and even American congresspeople uniformly agree that it is the military in collusion with the government who are responsible for the human rights violations in El Salvador. And whatever your ideological stance, this is the central issue at stake.

Also, a community is made up of individuals; some of whom donate, some of whom do not. The ones who do not are not harmed by the centers, and they receive the benefits of the medicinal uses of donated plasma. AS FOR the donors, they are (excuse me; we are) benefited through cash payments and, as a sort of bonus, regular checks on the \, 1 - -e icveis ui various important blood elements.

Do we want to risk another Vietnam-type engagement to defend the senseless murders of innocent men, women, and children? The answers to such questions seem obvious. Yet people need to be informed about what is happening before these issues can be addressed. We must, therefore, attune ourselves to what little coverage there is in our papers, on i^1 !--* television, radio, ana so on, and must learn to critically appraise what we see and hear. ith blood joints around campus.

That means over $600.00, and without that money I would have been forced to borrow ana Deen weighted down with monthly payments and interest. I have, and do, and will continue to rely on money from plasma donations to make ends meet so that I can stay in school.
