He also cast pointed barbs at the Marxist government of Nicaragua, calling it "a new dictatorship" that allows its people "no freedom, no democratic rights, and more poverty," and charging that Salvadoran guerrillas "are directed from a headquarters in Managua."
HOWEVER, HE DISPUTED AS the product of "propaganda" suggested the United States is trying to topple the Sandina regime of Nicaragua, saying flatly, "We do not seek its
The president also dwell at length on his determination to pursue diplomatic solutions to the strife in Central America and said he would name a special ambassador-at-large "to lend U.S. support to the efforts of regional governments to bring peace to this troubled area."
REAGAN STRESSED THE NEED to help the region recover from the worldwide recession, acknowledged continuing concern about human rights problems in El Salvador, and declared Americans need not fear another Vietnam.
"There is no thought of sending American combat troops to Central America; they are not needed — indeed they have not been requested," he said.
But he said, "With better training and material help, our neighbors can hold off the guerrillas and give democratic reform time to take root."
IN AN 11-MINUTE DEMOCRATIC response to Reagan's speech, Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut called the plea for more military aid to Central America "a formula for failure" and called instead for more emphasis on negotiation.

The state will get $96.8 million of the tax revenue. County governments and school districts from producing counties will share $7.3 million.
Oil, which will be taxed at 8 percent, makes up the bulk of the revenue, contributing $65.9 million. Natural gas also is taxed at 8 percent and is expected to produce $37.6 million in taxes.
Carlin said, "After today, what will remain permanently established as truth is that every dollar generated by the oil and gas industry, paying its fair share for schools, highways and roads, is subsidized. The prices of state government, is one dollar less that must be paid by general Kansas taxpayers."

Views of KU Central Americans vary

Staff Reporter
Elio Perez, a 22-year-old junior at the University of Kansas, came to the United States $2^{th}$ years ago from El Salvador. His uncle was killed by the rebels and his best friend by the army. Perez supports neither group.
He said that neither the rebels nor the government really cared about the people of

THE VIOLENCE IN CENTRAL America seems remote to most KU students, but to students from Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras, the war is a part of our everyday.
There are almost as many viewpoints on the nature of the conflict and how to resolve it as there are on the nature of racism.
Perez said he supported the rebels when the fighting started, but no longer does because they did not have the answer to the country's problems. He has friends on both sides.

"That is part of why I wanted to leave," Perez said. "I would have had to decide which side to support."
right and extreme for it. "Eighty percent of the people are neutral. They don't want to mess with it," he said. "The people want peace. That's why the people stood in line for miles to vote. They wanted to vote for peace."
Peres said most of the trouble in El Salvador was caused by armed groups from the extreme right and extreme left.

"They burn buses the poor people use and take away work places. How does this help the poor?"
She said that reports of human rights reports violations were too one-sided, and that killings by the guerrillas were rarely reported.
"Look at all the noise they made when the nuns were killed because they were North Americans," she said. "When the guerrillas killed my grandfather, one no one said grandmother."
Alfredo Kawas, a 21-year-old junior from Honduras, takes a similar position.
"The big mistake of the United States was to withdraw aid from Somoa in Nicaragua," he said. "If the United States isn't willing to get to the root of the problem in Central America — Nicaragua — all of Central America is in trouble."
IVAN AGUILAR, A 23-year-old senior from Leon, Nicaragua, sees things differently. He said he was in Nicargua for half of the revolution that toppled right-wing dictator Anastasio Somoza and brought the Sandistas to power in 1976.
"If there were elections in Nicaragua today, the Sandistas would win easily." Aguilar said. "They have the support of the poor people, which is most of the people, and the students."
He said he was opposed in principle to violence, but that it was possibly the only way to bring about change in Central America.
THE UNITED STATES IS using politics of confrontation in Nicaragua, which will only strengthen the communist elements in Nicaragua and the rest of Central America, Aguilar said.
Jorge Valverde, a graduate student from Costa Rica who has spent time recently in both Nicaragua and El Salvador, supports the revolutionary movements in both countries.
Valverde said the problems in Central America had their historical roots in an inequitable distribution of resources and the lack of support of United States in the internal affairs of the countries.
"The people have been working using peaceful ways to change the situation. They went to the capital city to protest, and were massacred ultimately — men, women and children," he said.
"Our people are peaceful, but maybe when your father has been killed or tortured, your children have nothing to eat and no medical care or running water, and maybe two blocks away there is a house with a Mercedes Benz, servants and a swimming pool, you start realizing something is wrong."
THE NICARAGUAN REVOLUTION is setting an example for many other countries in Latin America.
"It is the one revolution where people's lives were respected after the revolution," he said.
education and medical care have improved greatly since the Sandinistas came to power, he said.
The threat of an international war in Central America is great, Valverde said. The Reagan administration is trying to develop a situation where it can send the Marines into Nicaragua, he
"They don't understand our people are able to make changes by themselves and are capable of bringing about a truly democratic system," he said.
