Reagan's advisors are releasing statements such as "no option will be ruled out in dealing with the Salvadorean guerillas" and --me administration is considering sending more miltary advisors to El Salvador." Students around the world are rallying for the cause of freedom and selfdetermination. IN WEST Germany 25,000 protesters called for an end to U.S. imperialism in El Salvador, in Mexico, 20,000, and all over the United States. Phoenix. San Francisco, New York, Milwaukee and Columbia, students are doing the same. The Soviet Union has expressed a willingness to stop their minimal support of the ruling junta and the tiny two percent of the population it represents. Don't take me wrong, the foreign policy of the Soviet Union deserves as much, if not more, condemnation than that of the United States. However, at least they have enough sense to see that a revolution backed by 98 percent of the population is bound to succeed. They have learned their lesson in Afghanistan. Didn't we learn our lesson in Vietnam? We want liberty in El Salvador and people everywhere.

As many other student groups, my organization was requested to go before the Senate r mance uommuiee tor a 'budget hearing." I was upset to find that only three senators were present to hear me defend my group's budget. I couldn't imagine that the distribution of funds on this campus was being left up to the discretion of three students. After a little investigation on my own, I was outraged to discover that the chairperson of the committee, Ms. Dorothy Stefan, was even absent from the hearing. I ?iiVirr"miW^ <<-/ [ v ,c *GE ,. :rs ?
