Speakers encourage United States to support Guatemalan peace plan
by Marian Weeks Kansan staff writer
The United States is arming the men of Honduras to the teeth and needs a new policy, American policy, a Central government. And Friday
Lavinia de Ochoa, a member of the Mennonite church, said, "These men are killing each other and destroying each other from nation to nation when the plan of God is to respect life because God has given it."
De Ochoa of Honduras and Andy Shogreen of Nicaragua were guests of Latin American Solidarity, a campus organization that sponsors educational events about Latin America. A conference in Alderton Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
De Ochoa and Shogneen visited the University of Kansas as part of a Midwestern tour sponsored by the Latin American Council of Churches, which is sending 13 Central Americans to the United States to appeal to the U.S. for peace and support for the Guatemalan Peace Plan.
The plan, endorsed by the leaders of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, calls for an end to hostilities among the nations, restoring relations and a normalization of relationships with Nicaragua.
"People are tired of seeing arms everywhere," De Ochoa said. "Mothers have lost sons, wives have lost husbands and thousands of children have lost fathers."
De Ochoa said that the elementary children she taught in Honduras suffered from the policy of sending weapons
and that people whose limbs had been shot off were begging in the streets.
De Ochoa said other consequences of arming the country with maintained hunger and deep emotional pain in his district.
"Central America is convoluted by economic, social and political problems, which I must say frankly are imposed upon us."
To speak up is dangerous in Central America, she said.
When people speak up they are labeled as communists.
Shogreen's church, he said, has been working as a conciliation commission to bring reconciliation between the government of Nicaragua and the east coast fighters, the Sumu, Miskitu, Rama and Afro-Caribbean tribes.
Shogreen, formerly the general secretary of the Moravian Church, said this was his 22nd visit to the
These Indian people neither support nor oppose the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, he said. They want self-government, regional autonomy, rights to ancestral lands and their own culture.
Shogreen, a pastor who spoke as a representative of the Moravian Church, the first protestant church founded in Nicaragua in 1457, said Nicaragua had experienced U.S. intervention and Spanish and British occupation.
Shogreen said much destruction in Nicaragua and Central America came from war stereotypes and security threats.
Coalition receives guidelines for name
by Candy Niemann Kansan staff writer
A complaint was made by four other coalitions against Common Cause to the Senate Elections Committee on Wednesday, charging that the group was using fraudulent means to gain election to office.
Common Cause coalition received guidelines from a national lobbying organization Saturday to use the coming Student Senate election.
Common Cause is running for Senate under the same name as a national lobbying organization with 280,000 members and 48 state offices.
Also, the lobbying group's state director said he had received complaints Friday from Lawrence members about the coalition's use of the name.
The committee voted last week to

table the complaint until written permission arrived and will be taking it up again at a meeting Thursday
Under the terms of the agreement between Common Cause coalition and the lobbying group's headquarters in Washington, D.C., the coalition must libely denounce any connection with the lobbying group, disclaim affiliation with the group on behalf of the Common Cause units and cease use the Common Cause name immediately after the election.
B. Jake White, Platte, Neb., junior and presidential candidate for Common Cause, said he heard rumors that the name was copyrighted and called the lobbying group's head of campaign Wednesday to confirm what he had heard.
"As soon as we heard the name might be copyrighted, we called," White said.
michael Woolf, executive director for the lobbying group's state office in Topeka, said "It has troubled some of our members. We are a very non-partisan group that doesn't get involved in elections."

He said he did not contact the state office.
Woolf said members of the lobbying group also were concerned about rumors that Common Cause coalition had been making derogatory statements in public, but he was unable to confirm those rumors.
"To say they were given permission is misleading." Wolf said. "We have just decided not to take any action against them."
Woolf said the terms agreed to between the coalition and the national office were acceptable to him, but he insisted that coalition had been given permission.
