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.

To the Editor:
As a member of a student
organization here on campus,
I am quite concerned
about the Student Government
allocation process of
activity monies. 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
