Lopez said the recent discovery of arms shipments to Nicaragua from the Hopango Military Air Base in San Salvador did not surprise him.
"Huge military planes fly out of that airport all the time," he said. "North American soldiers are seen walking around in San Salvador all the time. Nobody really knows why they are there."
Lopez said that since 1981 the United States had sent more than $2 billion worth of military aid to Duarte's government forces.
"The misconception is that Duarte represents a democracy in El Salvador, and that's not true," Lopez said.
"It's not true that the Communists are backing most of the guerrillas, either," he said.
Llopez said Duarte's forces had relocated more than one million people to refuge camps and then declared that whoever remained in the evacuated areas was a guerilla and would be killed.
because he had nearly normal vision until about six years ago.
"I know the basic layout of things and I can remember what cars and buildings look like," he said. "I also have the advantage of knowing the beauty of the sunset, flowers, and even insects — I know what a gnat looks like; I can describe even the smallest insect."

Trig, York, Pa., graduate student, moved to Lawrence in August and is working toward a doctorate in counseling psychology. Trig, 30, lost his vision when he was 23. Before he went blind, he taught high school social studies and psychology in Pennsylvania.
Another blind student, Joe Trig,
said he also was disoriented when he
first arrived on campus.
Trig came to Lawrence a few days before classes with his parents, who helped him find his way around campus, he said.
His parents left after a few days, but Trig still has a companion and guide — Tristan, a one-year-old black Labrador Retriever who doubles as a seeing-eye dog.
"A dog is much faster," Trig said.
"A dog gives you a lot more independence and a lot more dignity. You walk around the sidewalk when you have a dog."
Blind people have the responsibility to look as competent as possible in order to avoid becoming dependent upon sighted people, he said.
he said that since the dog helped him to look competent, fewer people stopped to offer unnecessary help than when he used a cane.
Unlike Turner, who said he preferred a cane, Trig said he liked having a guide dog.
"The only problem with the dog, is that more people notice the dog than notice me," he said. "If I walk into a restaurant with Tristan, people say, 'Oh look, there's a seeing-eye dog,' — they don't even notice me."
He said the converse was true when he used a cane, "When I had the cane, people would say, 'Oh, look, there a blind person.'"
Tristan is Trig's first seeing-eye dog, and he has owned him for only about six months.

She said blind students solved the problem of taking notes by asking the professor to say everything written on the blackboard out loud and by asking another student in the class to make a duplicate copy of his or her notes.
Tape recording lectures is another option, but most students prefer to have notes because listening to the entire lecture again takes too much time, she said.
"Both professors and students have been very cooperative in helping out," Michel said.
The center doesn't provide readers for non-academic reading, Michel said. But it does provide students with the names of private and volunteer readers.
Some visually impaired students don't use the center's services but prefer to hire their own readers, she said.
Hasenfus' lawyer calls court illegal
United Press International
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — A lawyer for Eugene Hasentus, the U.S. flier charged with terrorism for supplying arms to U.S.-backed rebels, entered a not guilty plea yesterday and challenged the right of a People's Tribunal to try his client.
Enrique Sotelo Borgan took the opportunity of filing the plea to lambast the People's Tribunal. He denied the charges against his client and argued that the Sandista court trying Hasenfus was incompetent, illegal and partial.
"I deny, reject and contradict the accusations presented against him." Sotoel said in a statement filed in court yesterday. "My sister is not a criminal but a worker for a legally formed air company."
Hasenfus, captured Oct. 6 after
He faces Nicaragua's maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, and his conviction is considered inevitable.
he parachuted from a cargo plane carrying weapons to the rebels, known as contras, is charged with terrorism, criminal association and violation of Nicaragua's public security and order laws.
An aide to Sotelo, Luisa Andara Ubeda, read the defense statement to a courtroom packed with witnesses. Hasenus was not present.
In brief comments to reporters after he filed the papers, Sotoelo demanded an appropriate court be appointed to try Hasenusfoss other than the People's Tribunal, which controlled by the Sandimista Party.
Sotelo did not deny that Hasenfus had made the rebel supply flights.

Tiger invades bathroom in absurd society satire

"He lets us develop our characters on our own, but he helps us a lot too."

Liz Phillips, St. Louis sophomore,
said Whitmore was full of energy and
was a good director.
"The Martyria of Peter Obey" presented "part of the Inga Theatre Series at b. p. Oct 29, Nov 2; with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Nov 2; in the Inge Theatre in Hurlock Hall. Tickets are $2 for KU students, $4 for the general public and $9 for senior citizens and K-12 students."
A tiger in anyone's bathroom would wreak havoc and cause a disturbance.
"It's about America," said Richard Whitmore, director and producer. "It's about the awful tendency of people giving up all sensibilities because they think they are self-sacred. It's satirical and very funny.
Whitmore works with a cast of six women and five men.
Jill Towsley, Topea junior, said the play was very accurate in its idea that a family's behavior was controlled by outside influences.
In "The Martyrdom of Peter Obey," by Polish author Swainom Mrozek, a tiger invades the bored and comfortable existence of an average American family and creates great excitement.
she said.
"But the burden to get that message across is on the actors," she said. "It's an absurd play, and they have to make it as much as that picture accents to the audience."
When a tiger is discovered in the Okey family's bathroom, the word spreads, and the invasion begins.
Representatives from the ruthless institutions of modern civilization descend upon the Ohey family, and they all are too willing to be consumed by the excitement.
"It's a farce on society," Leslie Spires, Lawrence sophomore, said. "A tiger invades the bathroom of a normal family, and the Internal Revenue Service, foreigners and a circus manager come into their home."
Mrozek is an amazing contemporary playwright, Whitmore said. He builds up a bitter symbol of the spread of power, showing a simple citizen who goes along his path in humanity. It is his reluctant acquiescence that leads to his ultimate downfall, Whitmore said.
Spires plays the yongest son, Johnny, in the play. She described him as a Rambo-type of kid who carried a knife.

"The play has many political and social messages." Glimpse said. "It's a universal play and can be interpreted on different levels."
Choreographer sheds punk image with ballets for the modern world
By ANNE GOWEN
Special to the Kansan
Armitage and her company of six dancers will perform her latest work, "The Elizabethan Phrasing of the Late Able Ayler," at 8 p.m. in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are $6 and $8 and are available at the Murphy Hall Box Office or at the door.
Armitage described "The Elizabeth Phrasing," as "neo-classical" in style and said it incorporated diverse music, ranging from Igo Stravinsky to jazz music. He also worked, the inspiration for the piece.
Special to the Kansai
At age 15, a curious and determined dancer left her home in Lawrence to become a star.
"It's if you are anything, it's about how it feels to be alive today." "Armature said. 'It's very lively. The spirit is easy to feel. You don't have to be a dance buff to enjoy it.'"

"It's a ballet for our time," Armitage said, adding that she felt
Armitage and her company have been touring Europe for the past two months with the piece, which features sets and costuming by her artist/france David Salle, a Wichita native.
the piece had many moods — psychological, humorous and erotic.
Tonight's performance by the company is the American premiere of the choreography for "The Elizabethan Phrasing." The premiere of the work in its entirety, with complete sets and costumes, will be at the Boston Opera House Nov. 20.
Armitage is fast emerging as one of the most controversial and innovative choreographers of the dance world.
Barishikun, captivated by her 1885 performance as choreographer and star in "The Watteau Duets," asked her to choreograph a work for the American Ballet Theater.
The result was "The Molino Room," a five-act ballet featuring Barishkov. The work was inspired by Carl Molino, an Italian architect who believed that the commerce could be transform into art.
Choreographing Barishnikov felt natural for Armitage, she said.
"The Molloin Room" debuted April 10 at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. and May 15 at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.
"He's a great comedian," Armitage said. "He's also very daring, an extraordinary dancer."
onvention
The Village Voice gave "the Mollino Room" favorable marks, but more mainstream publications like *The New York Times* were critical of the work.
Salle also designed the sets for "The Molling Room," featuring, among other things, a huge panel of a giant fishing reel and another of a tea tray.
"The Mollino Room" and "The Elizabeth Phrasing" mark Armitage's return to the classical training of her youth.
Armitage studied as a child with a former New York City Ballet dancer, spent her high school years at the North Carolina School of the Arts and ended up in the Geneva Ballet in Switzerland.
During this period in her career, Armitage was labeled a "punk" modern dancer, because of her use of live rock musicians in performances and her punk music in the music an image she has worked to shed.
Armitage broke her ballet ties in 1976, joining Mercie Cunningham's modern dance troupe in New York. That same day, her first major performance was at the classicism "premiered at the Dance Theater Workshop.
"I'm back to ballet," Armitage said, "but it's ballet that's not stuck in the 19th century."
