Prioleau, president of the Senate, said he hopes to see an awareness of Student Government and improvements in the organization's image. "Communication is the key to awareness. The Communications Committee will be very, very big this year," he said. THE COMMITTEE will be responsible for producing a SG pamphlet "to give students an idea of the offices, committees, powers and responsibilities of Student Government ? an orientation," he said. Prioleau said he feels communication can be increased by working closely with other university departments such as Student Affairs and the Residence Hall Association. A second goal of the SG vice president and Senate is improved relations with all senators and their constituents. "Students need to voice their concerns. We hope to have a student forum within each district to discuss student concerns," Prioleau said.

I will be expecting a great deal from them," he said. an policy explod on military solutions that effectively rules out diplomacy or other ways of resolving the conflicts. "We are not looking at the fact that there is no military solution short of sending in American troops." One USC professor agrees with Leahy. Barbara Tenenbaum, director of (JSC's Latin American Studies program, also predicts that troops will be sent into Central America. SHE SAID the anti-government guerrillas are not losing the El Salvador civil war. The American public will eventually perceive this, but President Ronald Reagan will not accept it. "I hope I'm wrong for Salvadorans," Tenenbaum said.
