Late space shuttle to carry GSUF grad
The launching of the space shuttle Dis¬
covery, originally scheduled for March 19
with Lieutenant Colonel Steve Nagel and
a CSU F medallion aboard, has been post¬
poned until early June, according to
Nagel in a telephone interview.
The postponement came after an earlier
launch of the space shuttle Challenger was
cancelled and the two missions were
combined. Nagel and his crew of seven
were rescheduled for the June mission,
which   involves   the   launching  of  two
"We were ready in March,"said Nagel.
"The cancellation came about two-and-a-
half weeks before we were supposed to fly.
But we're all anxious to go. and well be
ready in June."
The idea of carrying the medallion into
space was initiated by Nagel when he
called James Matheny, dean of the school
of engineering, and asked him if he
wanted to "fly anything with the space
"We are allowed to carry a limited
number of official items, usually about
10," Nagel explained. "Hopefully, time
permitting, I would like to make a
presentation of the medallion to CSUF in
person," he said.
Nagel, a 1978 graduate of CSUF,
became interested in participating in the
space program early in college. "I never
really thought I'd get here," he said. But
even with his doubts, Nagel said he tried
to tailor his courses toward that goal.
"CSUF played a significant role in my
becoming an astronaut," said Nagel.
"When I was at Edwards Air Force Base I
realized any additional education would
help me to be competitive on a national
level.  1 was looking to get a master's
degree and the engineering program at
CSUF is geared toward the flight test
program. I had very good instructors and
it was very good for helping my career," he
Nagel, has been back twice to speak in
Fresno and said, "I feel that to a large
extent being able to go where IVe gone is
due to education. I just cannot over¬
emphasize the importance of education."
Because he is scheduled for another
flight in October, Nagel said he is on a
very tight time schedule.
He was told in November, 1983, that he
would be manning the mission originally
scheduled for March, and said he and his
crew have been training for 14 months.
"I was disappointed," Nagel said about
the postponement of the mission, but still
he is optimistic. "This will be my first time
in space," he said, "and I'm really excited
about it."

"We provide parenting classes in which

Walls.
CSUF student Lisa Cavazos, an intern
counselor with the Marjorie Mason Center
for battered women, spoke on the myths
and realities of the battering issue
"If a woman doesn't like the situation,
she can get out of it." was the first myth
Cavazos mentioned. In reality, the woman
is dependent upon the man for food,
clothing and money, said Cavazos.
"Another myth is that alcohol causes
violence."said Cavazos. She cited statistics
indicating that men who commit domestic
violence often have had no alcohol prior
The third myth she dispelled was that
women can easily have the man arrested
for the assault. "The only way the batterer
can be arrested is if the officer sees him
hitting the wife," she said.
The frequency of rape was discussed by
the executive director of the Rape
Counseling Service, Rosemarie Munsey.
According to the FBI, only one of 10
acts of rape are reported, said Munsey.

"The more accurate figure of rapes
committed in Fresno County would be
about 2,148," said Munsey.
She thinks women are reluctant to
report rape because of the way society has
regarded the act in the past. Not longagt,

Focus on Central American women
ByBenZays*
Stuff Writer
A panel discussion concerning women's
liberation in Central. America was held
st night on the CSUF campus.
Xtx panel consisted of Carol Wells, a
representative of the Nicaragua Task
Anna Foster of the Association of
Progressive Women in El Salvador; and
Msrtha. a refugee Itom EI Salvador
hose last name was withheld.
Wells, a professor of-ftrt at CSU-Ful-
rton, feels that the women of Central
nenca suffer additional hardships in an
»rea plagued by war, disease, and poverty.
"Women in Central America are sub-
jtcted io forced sterilization, lower wages
: same work performed, sexual
s said that U.S.-backed military
s. especially the ousted brutal U.S.-
implemented Samoza regime, are cul-
able for ihe unjust treatment of women.
"There is also a very high male-aban-
onmcni of the family — men can no
inger support their families and because
f their machismo,'they leave their fam-
Because of this fact, women must sup-
on their families and inevitably find
nnselves in an untenable situation*.
Wells said that a strong women's move¬
ment in Nicaragua preceded the Sandin-
ista revolution.
_ The S-ndinisu National Liberation
Front (FLSN), the major political party in
Nicaragua, has implemented several equal
nghu laws for women, according to
"All discrimination laws have been abol¬
ished," she said, "laws that represent equal¬
ity Were put in."
A law that prohibits the use of images
that sexually exploit women was the first
passed by the FLSN, in order to create the
"new woman" in Nicaragua.
"No longer do you see scantily clad
women on billboards selling Coke or
Pepsi," Wells said.
Another move toward the new direc¬
tion of the people was a law that made
men responsible for supporting their
families.
A "grass-roots" approach to a new
society has resulted in a large drop in the
illiteracy rate of Nicaragua, according to
Wells.
"What's interesting is that Nicaragua's
illiteracy rate is down to 11 percent while
the United States is around 20 percent,"
she said.
Wells also presented a collection of
Nicaraguan art slides, which depict the
new social and political direction of that
country.
Foster spoke of the lack of medical
attention and the nefarious torture and
sexual abuse that women are subjected to
in El Salvador.
Because of these hardships inflicted by
the U.S.-backed Salvadorian military,
FosteMaid that fM PES endeavors to act
as a "bridge «f solidarity for women
around the w/ffld."
"We try to help morally, politically, and
with financial assistance," she said.
Because of the unbearable conditions
for women in El Salvador, thousands flee
to the United States.
According to Foster only 2.5 percent
seeking political asylum in the U.S. are
accepted, most of whom are former mili¬
tary officers.
Martha gave insight to tbe day-to-day v
conditions in El Salvador and her sub¬
sequent migration to the U.S.
She said that people in thr United
States often ask her about the presence of
Russians and Cubans in her country and if
the Salvadorian people are fighting in the
name of communism.
"I always say that 1 have never teen a
Russian or Cuban in my country," she
said through an interpreter. "If you call
fighting for our land, for food, and the
right to life communism, then I guess we
