              El Salvadorian priest paints grim political picture
Daily Collegian-November 9.1M1 / Page 5
Father Jesus Nieto, a serf-exiled El
Salvadorian priest, painted a grim pic¬
ture of the political situation in that
country to a College Union audience
Thursday.
Nieto, who spoke through an inter¬
preter, began his speech with a general
description of what he said is going on
politically and economically in his home¬
land.
In Nieto' s words, there is now a mili¬
tary "junta" in power that represents
a wealthy minority. He said that the
people are tired of the government's
oppression and have decided to liber¬
ate themselves.
According to Nieto, 60 percent of the
riches of the American-supported El
Salvador are in the hands of two per¬
cent of the population. This appropria¬
tion of income, he said, has caused poor
living conditions in the country. The
mortality rate of infants is SO percent
and the average life span of an El Sal¬
vadorian is 50 years, said Nieto.
The diocesan priest next spoke of
the government's denial of the people
to have any freedom of speech or the op¬
portunity to elect their own officials.
To continue these conditions there
have been fraudulent elections,* said
Nieto, an official representative of the
Council of Christian Based Communities
in El Salvador.* In the past 50 years only
military men have been elected as presi¬
dents.'
Ahhough the majority of El Salva¬
doreans supported the opposition party
in elections held in 1977, said Nieto, a
military coup kept the old form of
government in power. The same mili¬
tary persons who took part in the coup
are now offering elections, he added.
'From 1970 on the people have come
to the conclusion that elections are not
their alternatives,* said Nieto.
Peaceful means of improving the
people's situation were attempted for
years without any major violent up¬
heaval, said Nieto. Until recently, he
added, the people's platform called for
a non-violent fight for freedom.
'While people talk this peaceful lan¬
guage, the one of the government is
one of bullets and killing,' said Nieto.
'The government in El Salvador wants
to stop the wishes of the people by
s  violent government

oppression that forced him to flee the
country. The assassination of Arch¬
bishop Oscar Romero, a powerful voice
of the opposition party in El Salvador,
occurred a short time before Nieto left
the country. He was a close co-worker
of Romero and following the assassina¬
tions he feared for his life.
Nieto brought up the question of how
the 'junta* stays in power against the
wishes of the people. The 'junta," he
'We want the people
of the United States
to be alert of what
is going on...'
said, is in power because of the "wishes
of the United States government.'
'At this point there are 800 United
States military men in El Salvador,"
said Nieto. "They are not only advising
the government, but are participating in
the fighting.
'That's why we feel and we believe
that the United States government is
carrying this genocide,' he said.
Nieto said the brutality of the El
Salvadorian soldiers is often gruesome.
The military in the country has ac¬
counted for the deaths of more than
30,000 people in the last three years,
said Nieto. The soldiers, he said, pass
through towns leaving behind 'mu¬
tilated bodies, burned homes, destroyed
crops and poisoned drinking wells.'
In one example of this brutality, Nieto
spoke about a couple that was captured
by the army. The husband was de¬
capitated. After the woman was also

In conclusion, Nieto said that he felt
the United States people 'were not
the same as the government."
-We want the people of the United
States to be alert of what is going on
and not misled,' said Nieto. *We want
people to be alert of a complete Invasion
of El Salvador, which would be like
another Vietnam.* With support
throughout the world, he added, 'the
victory of the El Salvadorian people
will come sooner and many deaths will
be avoided.'
Nieto spoke of the religious faith sur-  #
rounding the fight for freedom" In El
Salvador. As Christians, said Nieto, the
El Salvadorian people believe that faith
is a complete response to Cod's word.
'Since we believe there is a Cod of
justice we cannot allow injustices to
prolong any more,' said Nieto. 'There
is an unjust society in El Salvador that ■
cannot be a society of Cod.'
Nieto called for solidarity between
people in the United States and the
people of El Salvador. He then an¬
swered questions from the audience.
The speech was sponsored by the
Latin   American   Support   Committee.
At a press conference held immedi¬
ately following the speech Nieto told
of the help he thought the people of
the United States could give to the El
Salvadorian cause.
"Right now the best thing American
people can do is to express their dis¬
satisfaction with the United States
government," said Nieto. 'If aid from
this country does not stop, the 30,000
killed will be multiplied.
"The people' s conscience needs to be
awakened. Our work here in the United
States is to bring about that conscious-

the Bulldogs, the first coming with just
3:07 left in regulation time. Magdaleno
then tallied what turned out to be the
game winner 6;1S into the first of two
10-minute overtimes.
The win improved CSUF's record to
14-5-1 overall and S-1 In the PSC. Stan¬
ford dropped to 11-6-2 and 2-4.
The Bulldogs started the game
slowly, and defensive lapses allowed
Cardinal star striker Willie Ciucci to
penetrate for two dose range shots in
the first 15 minutes. CSUF goalie Kirk
Shermer responded to the challenge
both times with spectacular saves, one
time leaving the box to smother Ciucci
20 yards out.
A shot from 30 yards by CSUF fresh¬
man striker Per Benjaminsen that barely
skimmed over the crossbar seemed to
wake the Bulldogs up, but several

Ciucci finally broke the deadlock at the
34:43 mark of the first half when he took
a pass from Jorge Titinger and rolled
the ball past the diving Shermer from 15
CSUF to host Fullerton. Dons;

yards. It was Ciucd's 22nd goal of the
season, a figure which leads the PSC.
CSUF began the second half slug¬
gishly, but completely dominated play
for the last 30 minutes of regulation. But
the barrage of Bulldog shots failed to
find the net.
CSUF finally tied the game when a
throw-in from the right corner by
Rosendo Gutierrez skipped off the head
of Leo Kamal to the waiting i'
who drilled it by Manrrfrom 15 yards. A
Kamal shot from 30 yards with less than
a minutes left in regulation was just'
wide, and the game went into overtime.
Magdaleno's second goal came on a
perfect pass from the left corner by
Tony Browne. The senior striker took the
ball 12 yards out and again beat Mann.
Fresno then withstood a dose call when
Shermer stopped a Titinger shot in
front of the goal with just over six
minutes left in the second overtime. The
Cardinals never threatened after that as
the Bulldogs held on for the victory..
Head coach Jose Elgorriaga was
ecstatic over the team's effort *We
dominated the majority of the game, but
we just couldn't put the ball m the net,"
Elgorriaga said. 'It took tremendous

Wednesday before playing the Bulldogs
in whay could shape up as the title
battle. With its 5-1 record, CSUF is
tied with UC Berkeley for second place
in the conference, but the Bears have the
title edge by virtue of their 1-0 victory
over the Bulldogs in Berkeley Oct. 17.
UC Berkeley will win the tide if they
beat San Jose State, Saturday afternoon
and CSUF beats USF. UC Berkeley's
lone loss in league play was to USF.
The Bears have been the surprise of
the conference, but most of the Bulldog
players and coaches feel- that San Jose
State will beat them handily. San Jose
State stands at 4-2 in league play after
losses to USF and CSUF. The Spartans
have been eliminated from the title
chase, but a win over UC Berkeley would
keep their hopes for an at-large   in-
the NCAA tournament. CSUF is la the
Far West region, one of eight in the
nation. In addition to two' automatic
berths for each region, there are four at-
large berths at stake.
Because of its five losses, CSUF is
currently ranked 7th in the Far West.
San Diego State, which beat the Bun-
dogs 2-0 Sept. 26, is rated No. 1 and
the berths. USF and San Jose State are
ranked 2nd and 3rd, respectively. UCLA,
whtdr also beat CSUF earlier this
season, is ranked No. 4 and is another
strong contender.
While the game Wednesday night is a
non-league affair, the Bulldogs can't
afford to look past Cal State Fullerton to
the USF game. The Titans, with an 11-5
overall record, are ranked 6th, but they
are coming off a pair of 2-1 defeats last
week to USF and San Jose State.
But die Bulldogs, who have, now won
eight of their last nine contests, should
rise In the next rankings, which come out
Tuesday. With victories over Cal State
Fullerton and USF, the Bulldogs 'would
stand a good chance' of being selected
for an NCAA berth, according to Stan¬
ford coach Nelson Lodge, chairman of
the committee which will select the Far
