Refugee
Lopez said the recent discovery of arms shipments to Nicaragua from the Hipoango Military Air Base in San Salvador did not surprise him.

"It's not true that the Communists are backing most of the guerrillas, either," he said.
"Huge military flight 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."
López 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.
"The misconception is that Duarte represents a democracy in El Salvador, and that's not true." Lopez said.
López said that since 1981 the United States had sent more than $2 billion worth of military aid to Duarte's government forces.
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."
Blind

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 don't have to tap along the sidewalk when you have a 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."
charge to blind students, read and tape record assigned readings and class notes and take dictations from blind students during exams.
Blind people have the responsibility to look as competent as possible in order to avoid becoming dependent upon sighted people, he said.
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.'"
He said that since the dog helped him to look competent, fewer people stopped to offer unnecessary help than when he used a cane.
Tristan is Trig's first seeing-eye dog, and he has owned him for only about six months.
unlike Turner, who said he preferred a cane, Trig said he liked having a guide dog.
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.
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.
"Both professors and students have been very cooperative in helping out," Michel said.

Help
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.
Some visually impaired students don't use the center's services but prefer to hire their own readers, she said.
MANAGUA. Nicaragua — A lawyer for Eugene Hasenfu, 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.
Hasenfus' lawyer calls court illegal
United Press International
Enrique Sotelo Borgen 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
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.
"I deny, reject and contradict the accusations presented against him." Sotelo said in a statement filed in court yesterday. "My defendant is not a criminal but a worker for a legally formed air company."
He faces Nicaragua's maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, and his conviction is considered inevitable.
An aide to Sotelo, Luis Andara Ubeda, read the defense statement to a courtroom packed with reporters. Hasenfus was not present.

In brief comments to reporters after he filed the papers, Sotelo demanded an appropriate court be appointed to try Hasenusfet other than the People's Tribunal, which is controlled by the Sandinista Party.
Sotelo did not deny that Hasenfus had made the rebel supply flights.

A painter's view from a lens

The phrase "You Make The Picture" spurs the artist's subject — a brass plaque mounted in front of a subtly lighted mountainside at Zion Canyon.

David Hockney, a British painter and photographer, "makes the picture" of the canyon scene using a collage of photographs. The image on the bottom photograph reflects Hockney's influence - soiled tennis shoes and crumpled film packages.
exhibit in Paris, the curator used a Polaroid camera to record the paintings. When finished, the curator gave Hockney the leftover Polaroid film.
'Hockney's works break away from static photography.'
Hockney's work is heavily influenced by Picasso and the cubist movement - as seen in his works with the use of multiple perspectives.
Eighty pieces of Hockney's work
Instead of personally developing the film, Hockney depends upon Fotomat, a commercial film processing store, to develop the prints in his collages. The flaws in processing give additional perspective to the works.
Hockney then employed the 35mm camera, breaking away from the Polaroid grids and unifying the photographs into a collage.
Hockney, at a rate of almost one work a week, created Polaroid grids, with each square depicting a different aspect of the subject.
"I've been interested in Hockney's photography for a long time," Thomas Southall, the museum's photography curator, said Tuesday of the exhibit organized by the International Exhibition Foundation.
"Hockney's works break away from static photography," Southall explained. "It's interesting how a painter colors or photography in a way photographer hadn't explored color."
In 1892, however, a museum curator gave birth to Hockney's next phase, an SX-70 Polaroid camera. In preparing a Hockney
Eighty pieces of Hockney's work - single photographs, photographic grids using Polaroid pictures, and photographic collages into a single image - are featured until Nov. 30 in a special exhibition in the Kress Gallery of the Spencer Museum of Art.

The exhibit illustrates Hockney's metamorphosis from the paint brush to the camera lens. Initially, Hockley would paint, using a photograph of the subject as a guide.
"It's fun to be able to have fresh, new and talked-about photography here," he said.
One work, titled "Robert Littman Floating in a Swimming Pool," consists of separate photographs of the subject's entire body or of only the subject's legs, buttocks and a single picture, the photographs portray the swimmer's movement.
Hockney's photography avoids what he calls "he looks at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed cyclops — for a split second."
Instead, Hockney's works, with the disjointed frames numbering from about 20 to 100 pictures, denict multiple perspective.
