...would know that GUERRILLA is concerned with all issues in the belief that students must seize all issues into their hands. I did not use the word "some" for a good reason. GUERRILLA is concerned with investment in South Africa, the CRR, a Third World Center and recently El Salvador etc. However, before GUERRILLA can act on these issues, discussion and consolidation of a majority student opinion in the form of a Student Assembly resolution or opinion poll must occur. GUERRILLA is founded upon the so-called radical idea of supporting democracy...
...bearded, middle-aged man, a visitor to San Salvador, was on his way back to his lodgings when he realized it was 7 p.m., the hour of the strict, dusk-to-dawn curfew. Caught out of doors, he was liable to be shot on sight as a guerrilla. Frantically he began knocking at the houses on Calle Poniente, pleading for shelter. No doors were opened. Instead, a frightened resident telephoned the police to report a suspicious character making a commotion. As the bearded stranger approached the door of No. 2031, he died in a fusillade of police bullets...
...victim was Primo Gerardo Caceres, 45, the former mayor of a provincial town. He was one of at least 46 people who have been killed by police after hours since the curfew was imposed in mid-January in an attempt to control El Salvador's guerrilla war.

Nevertheless, military and security forces are enthusiastic about being able to deny the hours...
...controversy surrounding the "Dissent Paper" has died down a bit. The El Salvador desk in the State Department only gets a few calls about it a day as the new administration snugly slips into its "Peace through Strength" diplomacy. "Peace Through Strength"--a slogan that sounds frighteningly like "Peace With Honor," Richard Nixon's favorite wartime catchphrase. And, indeed, it may soon be wartime again. Reagan escalates aid to Duarte's regime, the Soviets increase aid to the guerrillas. There is no point in wondering who started the process; it is only worth questioning when the spiral is going...
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS back in 1960 read the papers and heard the news: the government was pouring aid into a tiny country--not much larger than El Salvador--called South Vietnam. The cause: to slow the rising tide of Communism. Later in the decade, these same millions looked back and wondered why they didn't understand what was happening in Vietnam. Some had lort sons and brothers and now were marching on Washington and getting arrested. Quietly--just as quietly as the government covered up the "El Salvador dissent Paper"--the government today floods El Salvador's junta with military...
