Student tells of life in Guatemala
By PAUL SCHRAG
Staff writer
Guatemala has become a forgotten country despite the extensive media attention focused on Central America, a KU student who recently visited Guatemala said yesterday.
Shelly Jarrett, Denver graduate student, said that if people in the United States understood the problems in Guatemala, they could help improve the situation in the politically troubled nation.
"The U.S. should focus on cultural exchanges and humanitarian awareness, which stimulate concern for the people of Guatemala." she said.
Jarrett, who spent the fall semester in Guatemala researching a Guatemalan writer, spoke to about 10 students at nonday afterday in Lippincott Hall. She lectured and showed as part of a series of weekly meetings with American issues sponsored by the department of Latin American studies.
While Jarrett was in Guatemala, she researched the work of Cardoza y Argón, a contemporary Guatemalan writer of poetry and prose. Most of
her time in Guatemala was spent in Guatemala City and Antigua.
Because most people in the United States have ignored Guatemala in recent years, Jarrett said, they are missing opportunities to contribute to the Guatemalan people's struggle for justice.
But most people know little about Guatemala beyond a vague awareness about political violence there, she said.
U. S.-supported military dictators and occasional civilian presidents have repressed the Guatemalan people since the 1950s. Jarrett said.
President Jimmy Carter finally cut off U.S. military and economic aid to Guatemala in 1978. But death squash activity and other forms of political repression became even worse in the early 1980s, she said.
Atrocities have become somewhat less common since January 1986, when a civilian president was elected, Jarrett said. But she said she thought the military still controlled the government.
Jarrett said she thought the civilian president, Vinicio Cerezo, had been put in power because a more
democratic appearance might persuade the United States to reinstate aid.
But most of Cerezo's changes have been superficial, Jarrett said. The government still represses Guatemalan peasants by forcing them into "model villages" where they can be controlled. She called this a form of psychological repression that prevented revolutionary unrises.
Clergy, intellectuals and others suspected of favoring political and economic reform are still being exiled or killed. Jarrett said.
Because U.S. government officials think the Guatemalan revolutionaries are influenced by communists, Jarrett said, the United States continues to support the repressive regime.
"The U.S. either sees communism or democracy, she said." There can be no compromise.
Non-traditional students think support group would be helpful
By JENNIFER FORKER
Staff writer
The needs of non-traditional students often go unmet, students interested in forming a support group said last night.
She said non-traditional students should have representatives who can lobby for their interests.
Eleven students attended a meeting in the Kansas Union to discuss the special problems of non-traditional students. The group decided to meet in the future, and if interest remains, form a support organization.
Sara Martin, assistant director of the Student Assistance Center and the group's adviser, said, "There are a lot of non-traditional students, but there doesn't seem to be a unified voice."
No absolute definition exists to describe non-traditional students, Martin said, but about 900 new
non-traditional students enter the University of Kansas each year.
There are a lot of non-traditional students, but there doesn't seem to be a unified voice.
Sara Martin assistant director
The Student Assistance Center classifies students over age 22 with less than 30 accumulated hours as non-traditional students. They commonly are students who are financially independent, have families to support and work part time, Martin said.
Helen Goldblatt, Lawrence junior, said she was interested in forming a club because she wanted to meet other non-traditional students.
"I love going into the classrooms and seeing non-traditional students. I feel less alone" she said.
Goldblatt said she identified with other non-traditional students on campus.
She also wants to form an organization because of the success the University of Arizona has had with a similar program. In its second year, Arizona's club now has 45 active members. The club's activities are raising money for non-traditional students with financial aid needs.
The consensus of those gathered was that new non-traditional students needed an orientation program.
