2 The Daily Collegian Editorial El Salvador aid supported Associated Students President Jeff Hansen is threatening to veto a resolution that will send $1,000 worth of educational materials to the University of El Salvador. Such a move, we believe, would be a mistake and would handcuff the senate's future ability to respond to world events. It's clear what Hansen's priorities are — the CSUF campus. An admirable stance for a campus president, but in this case a bit narrow minded. The president says that the already approved resolution is "illegal" and that the senate should concern itself more with "campus problems." While admittedly not a campus problem, the situation in war- ravaged El Salvador is a serious one and should be addressed. Ignoring or shying away from the world outside is not what a conscientious student government should do. Granted, there are needs to be met on this campus, and responsiblities to be kept. But the president has been given the opportunity to make a contribution to the lives of fellow students in El Salvador, and should accept it. In terms of cost to the senate, the $1,000 donation is only a small portion of the $24,200 left in the senate's unallocated budget. The question of the illegality of the resolution is perhaps best left up to the lawyers. There is a possibility that the resolution is in violation of a state law. Regardless, if Hansen chooses to veto the resolution the senate should override the president's veto and send a message to the other university campuses that the Associated Students of California State University Fresno give a damn.

The Disabled Students Organization is not asking for any money from the proceeds of the play. Instead, the members of the organization hope that a successful, profitable production would make it possible for the College Union Program Committee to sponsor other events that would have the effect of providing not only quality entertainment but to further showcase the abilities, not the disabilities of these students. I'm looking forward with pleasure to seeing "Tell Me You Love Me, Junie Moon." 1 think it's a great play, whose characters relate their experiences with great humor as well as real human sensitivity. Military Defense Editor: IVe never written a letter to the editor before, but Mr. James Milton Martin's childish, insulting, and most importantly, incorrect accusations concerning"military parading" on campus begs a response. Mr. Martin, as you yourself stated, has been away from CSUF for several years. During this time CSUF has continued to grow to include the addition of an Army R.O.T.C. program. Now Mr. Martin, before you go around making wild accu¬ sations about those responsible for "par¬ ading" around, as you term it, and run¬ ning people off the sidewalk, you should at least find out who those people are. You assumed they were connected with Air Force R.O.T.C, but we all know what happens when one Ass-U-mes, don't we, Mr. James Milton Martin; Air Force R.O.T.C. cadets do not jog around in formation. As for your simplistic, sarcastic and quite frankly, stupid remarks concerning the military, always remember that it is better to be thought the fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. N William Owen Howe As a cadet in the Army R.O.T.C. program and as a human being, 1 feel compelled to write a rebuttal concerning the "military parading" letter that ap¬ peared in Wednesday's Collegian. Written by James Milton Martin, a graduate of CSUF, the letter shows an obvious prejudice against the R.O.T.C. programs here on campus and against the military in general. That's fine. However, Mr. Martin's letter showsa lack of research that is unbecoming of a high school freshman. Mr. Martin's letter is offensive not just because of the crude remarks included in his letter, but because of the stupidity of his theme. As a graduate of CSUF, Mr. Martin should know (but apparently doesn't) that before you sub¬ mit any article for publication, the subject is thoroughly researched. Mr. Martin's letter lacks any research whatsoever. For example: as a member of the Army R.O.T.C. physical education class, 1 am bereaved and distressed that our entour¬ age has been mistaken for Air Force R.O.T.C. cadets. You see, if Mr. Martin had researched the class at all, he would have found that half of our "flock" are civilians with no ties whatsoever to Army or Air Force R.O.T.C. If Mr. Martin had looked into his schedule of courses, he would have found that the Air Force R.O.T.C. program doesn't have an active physical education class. As for his comparison of the R.O.T.C. class to the jogging classes, again his lack of research remains pointedly clear. The only time the Army R.O.T.C. P.E. class is on the sidewalk as a "lurching clump" is when we are doing a stadium run, which is done approximately once every ten days. Otherwise, we are weightliftihg or running amongst the vineyards. 1 also.happen to Letters Policy Trw Dally Collegian wei<x>mee expressions otsll views trorr. readers Latter, should be be in a civilian jogging class in the after¬ noons, and I have found that the clan does stay in a tight group. Even with the lack of research and mis¬ taken claims, Mr. Martin's letter might have gone over with some people. How¬ ever, when a graduate of CSU F is reduced to petty name-calling, he quickly loses all. credibility. Being called "sheep", "clowns", and "mass-murderers", simply because wt have chosen to become involved in R.O.T.C. shows a total lack of character on Mr. Martin's part. In closing, Mr. Martin has shown ex¬ treme prejudice and has wrongly stereo¬ typed the R.O.T.C. programs on campus. The prejudice against the military ii acceptable. After all, this is a free country and people are allowed to be openly criti¬ cal. However, stereotyping the military I Mr. Martin has done shows a complete lack of judgment on his part. As future officers, we in the R.O.T.C. programs do not thrive on destruction. We are simply trying to follow up on the careers we have chose. Believe it or not, Mr. Martin, there are still some of us who still believe in patriotism and love of country. Kindly take into consideration, Mr. Martin, th- had this been a critical letter of a commu¬ nist military written in a communist coun¬ try that nobody would have ever seen your letter. Enjoy your freedom, Mr. Martin. Just keep in mind who bought it for you. Paul K.

Their future students (deaf children, for exam¬ ple) get far behind because of this, she Originally from Connecticut, Mitchell received her bachelor's degree from the University of Utah. Having family and friends here, she decided to move back. "I got a job in L.A. There was no job for me in Fresno, so I had to commute 300 miles every week from L.A. to Fresno going to work and it was really terrible," said Mitchell, "I got realty tired of drivings .axound. so I moved back here because my family is here." Mitchell describes her deafness as part of her psyche, and said that though she might sound anti-social, she's not. All Mitchell wants is the same fair treatment that is given to the blind. Recently, blind students were given $7,000 for an optical machine by the. Handi¬ capped Advisory Committee, but the deaf students cannot even receive a much smaller amount for amplifiers, she said. • "My biggest problem here is that the other students can't sign language," Reno Colctti said with a laugh. Both be and Mitchell have been deaf since birth. He has taught sign language at CSUF from 1972 to 1983 in the communicative dis¬ orders department.

El Salvador aid supported
Associated Students President Jeff Hansen is threatening to veto
a resolution that will send $1,000 worth of educational materials to
the University of El Salvador. Such a move, we believe, would be a
mistake and would handcuff the senate's future ability to respond
to world events.
It's clear what Hansen's priorities are — the CSUF campus. An
admirable stance for a campus president, but in this case a bit
narrow minded. The president says that the already approved
resolution is "illegal" and that the senate should concern itself
more with "campus problems."
While admittedly not a campus problem, the situation in war-
ravaged El Salvador is a serious one and should be addressed.
Ignoring or shying away from the world outside is not what a
conscientious student government should do. Granted, there are
needs to be met on this campus, and responsiblities to be kept. But
the president has been given the opportunity to make a
contribution to the lives of fellow students in El Salvador, and
should accept it.
In terms of cost to the senate, the $1,000 donation is only a
small portion of the $24,200 left in the senate's unallocated budget.
The question of the illegality of the resolution is perhaps best left
up to the lawyers. There is a possibility that the resolution is in
violation of a state law.
Regardless, if Hansen chooses to veto the resolution the senate
should override the president's veto and send a message to the
other university campuses that the Associated Students of
California State University Fresno give a damn.
