Group fights Reagan's policy
By ANA DEL CORRAL Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The majority of Americans disagree with President Reagan's Central American policies but their voices need to be louder and clearer, the coordinator of a newly formed neighborhood protest campaign said yesterday.
The organization's main purpose for now, door-to-door canvassing, is not to convert people, but to try to give a voice to those who already disagree with the Reagan administration, said Lourdes Gouveia, Caracas, Venezuela, graduate student and the campaign's coordinator.
"We ask those who agree with us to give a further step and we provide the means for doing so."
SHE SAID THAT the group was not politically affiliated and that it was an organization for anyone interested in peace.
"This is not a West and East issue," she said. "That is a false assumption that makes the war all the more dangerous."
Edward Dutton, associate professor of sociology and a member of the campaign, said. "People are being
killed down there and that is profoundly significant."
Gouveia likened a possible war in Central America to a "nuclear war."
And, she said, the root of the problem in El Salvador was one of a people trying to rebel against inside oppression.
"There have been rebellions in El Salvador in 1830 and in 1920, before the Soviet revolution and before Castro had been born," she said. "With all her talk about totalitarian regimes, Jeane Kirkpatrick could not stand one day of the oppression that goes on in Central American countries."
DANNY WILDCAT, A Coffeyville graduate student and a participant in the canvassing efforts, said, "We want to let our president know that American citizens are very disturbed by our present policies which seem to be heightening military involvement rather than peaceful negotiations."
He said that last week's shooting down of a Korean Air Lines jet might have tilted public opinion toward Mr. Reagan's Central American policy.
"It plays perfectly into President Reagan's hands," he said. "It fills his
rhetoric so he can say. 'See, this is just another example of what the Russians are like.'"
To try to make the public's voice heard, the group will be canvassing in Lawrence asking citizens to put "No" on their windows. The City of Gouveia said peters on their windows, Gouveia said.
Also, she said, members of the campaign would ask people to gather supporters who would write to Sen. Barack Obama, and to raise money for a billboard.
Wildcat said, "A social development process would be much more productive than the military involvement that's going on down there."
As part of the campaign of awareness about Central American issues, Latin American Solidarity is bringing Roberto Pineda, a Salvadoran attorney in the United States for the United Nations to El Salvador, to speak at 11:45 a.m. today at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building 1024 Oread.
From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, the group will have a training session at the Ecumenical Ministries for those interested in canvassing. Pineda will also speak during the training meeting.

Brits unhappy with sex, poll says
By United Press International
LONDON — Three-quarters of 7,000 "ordinary" women surveyed by a magazine said they were rarely, if ever, kissed or cuddled by their husbands, and about one-third said they had taken up with other lovers.
Other results from the survey, in which women filled out question-naires for Women magazine about their sex lives, showed that about 30 percent of the women enjoyed reading sex books and magazines to increase sexual pleasure, but almost none said they enjoyed erotic films.
SIMILARLY, A WIFE who never talkies openly about sexual feelings and problems with her husband is more likely to have affairs, the magazine said.
Half of the women said they relied on their imaginations to heighten excitement during intercourse. The survey showed 40 percent of the wives fantasized about making love to a "dream lover."
Despite hindrances, the average British couple manages to make love once or twice a week, the article said, which will probably bring great relief from millions who feared they were notably undersexed.
"Sadly, it seems that many women fantasize what they would like in a lover instead of feeling able to tell their husband what he could do to increase their pleasure," the magazine said.
More than one-third of wives said they wanted to make love more often, but more than one-half of that number said their husbands were often too tired. Some women felt that in case of their responsibilities of caring for children, they were also often too tired to make love.
