The left-wing parties are boycotting the election process due to an exclusion of power. by William C. Olson, Ph.D. It is murky dark in San Salvador, capital of El Salvador, a naticn twice the size of · New Jersey. Despite the curfew, a man starts across an empty street in search of food for his family. Ashot rings out, and _he falls dead on the pavement. In the . · once sleepy capital, Humphrey Bogart-like cafes with overhead fans find their tables occupied by foreign journalists and American military advisors.· Once a prosperous land, El Salvador . by · 1960 was politically explosive . . World · market · prices of its two cash crops, coffee and cotton had fallen precipitously, and political _ unrest resulted from the domina- tion of several wealthy families. With one of the highest population growth rat~s in the world, El Salvador has slipped to 17th among the Latin American nations in per capita income. Violence has correspondingly risen since 1960, especially in rural areas . • By 1968 economic and population pressures led to a brutal war with neighbor- ing Honduras that was to last for nearly ten years. It was during this war that many of the leaders of the current guerrilla move- ment acquired their military skills, for the government left much of the fighting to . rural peasants. · Thus the origins of the current conflict are to be found, not in Cuban or Soviet "adventurism," but rather in domestic poverty and oligarchic control. The cold-blooded murders of four American churchwomen, which focused at- tention on El Salvador, clearly resulted from their efforts at eliminating the ex- treme poverty that • exists. As a con- sequence, the oligarchy perceived a challenge to its control, and like many Salvadoreans; they became "dispensable." A central truism about Latin American · peasants is their political and social con- servatism. Unfortunately, this point is largely ignored by American policymakers. What has escalated in El Salvador is not the reality but the rhetoric. Two weeks ago the Reagan administra- . tion released $26 million in military aid with another $55 million \'certified" last week. In addition, , the . Adminstriation is expected to , request another $100 million for FY1982 alone. As the President perceives it, the parallel to Vietnam is terribly striking, the latest · assertion being the ludicrous Central American "domino theory." Recently, United States military advisors have been photographed in combat areas with weapons, and support for the politically castrated government of President Jose Napoleon Duarte is rapidly eroding. Instead of seeking a creative solution, the Reaganites have placed El Salvador squarely in the context , of the East~West conflict. But, then again~ creativity (except for redefining catsup and relish as vegetables) has not been one of the hallmarks of the Reaganites. This failureis especially evident in foreign policy. Carlos Casteneda once observed that, "Perception of reality IS reality . " Perceiv- ing the Salvadorean conflict in East-West terms is a gross disservice both to . Salvadoreans and Americans, for it fosters a cowboy-and-Indian illusion that drastically distorts reality, and in• so doing may create a reality that neither country desires.: · There is a creative solution that begins with an understanding of the history of El Salvador. First, the Reagan administration must halt the shipment of arms to El Salvador in exchange for an acceptance by the guerrillas of free elections supervised by the Organization of American States . Second, the U.S. must in no uncertain terms isolate and sanction the far right in El Salvador; the far right has further polarized Salvadorean politics by assassinating moderates such as the • Ar- chbishop of San Salvador. Finally, the U.S. should advance a policy of social and economic justice, committing its resources toward the goal. One ought to wonder about the $181 - million in military aid for El Salvador in FY J 982. And one suspects that the Salvadorean people w.,ould be much better served by financing of agricultural , c _ ooperatives, tractors, and agricultural technology than by Heuy helicopters, M- l 6's and more Salvadoreans falling dead on Salvadorean streets. · Dr. Olson is an associate professor and ·CO-Ordinator of Latin American studies.

President of the C. U .B. Mike Wiese said that contracting performers -at entertain- ment conventions is basically how it has been done t_his year. "We are able to get top rate acts at discount prices that we·ac- Circle Reviews New Riders When we first walked into 'The Chance' on Thursday night, February 12, it was with more than modest expectations. Although The New Riders of the Purple Sage do not enjoy tremendous commercial success · (with the exception of their "Panama Red" album) they are a true talent in the mold of the Grateful Dead. The six member band features John Dawson with the vocals, David Nelson and Allen Kemp en dual lead guitar, Buddy Cage on peddle steel guitar, Billy Wolf on base guitar and Patrick Shanahan on drums. They opened their first set with "Glendale Train." They played an ex- ceHent section of songs including "Panama Red,'.' · "Lonesome . L.A. Cowboy,'' "Henry,'' and "Dirty Business" which the crowd loved. The encores included "Last Flying Eagle'' and the Jagger/Richard composition, "Dead Flowers." Also in- cluded was a Jerry Garcia tune, "I Know You Rider." The warmup band was "The Bronco Boys,'' a 7 piece country and western band. They featured a strong female vocalist. It was obvious that the crowd was taken in by the band. There were a lot of people dancing and it was an all around festive at- mosphere. Coupled with the intimacy of The Chance, it was a very enjoyable even- · . tually see perform _at these convention~," said Wiese . . Blockbooking is the process by which - these acts are brought to Marist, he said. Wiese explained that this process is done by getting about five or so colleges in the same approximate area '(say for example, five in - New York) to contract a performer(s) in · order to obtain the act at a'discount price. Member- Bernadette Cosner who attend- ed the Performing Arts and Lecture con- vention in Philadelphia last semester, said that blockbooking can save from $200-800 for an act. Ms. Cosner explained that at the conventions you are ·able to meet' and talk with the performers at conferences during the day, then see the actual performances that are held at night. Afterwards, ·the agents are out in the exhibit hall trying to promote and sell their performer(s). "I found attending these entertainment con- ventions to be a great learning experience," said Ms. Cosner. · Most. of this semester's entertainment (especially the coffeehouses and comedy night) have been obtained from the North- East Regional conference Wiese attended last Decemb~r at'Grossinger's, a resort in SuHivan County. The comedy night held last December featuring Bob Nelson as the highlight, had been obtained from Gross- inger's. Wiese said that event was the big 7 gest success in terms of student response. _ Another com~dy night that Wiese ob- tained from Grossinger's will take place on . Wednesday; Feb; 24 at 9:15 p.m., in the new dining room. According to Wiese, three professional comedians who have performed at Catch a Rising Star, The Im- provisation, and the Comic Strip in New York City will be oresented. Bernadette Cosner, Patti Walsh, Bar- bara McMahon,- and Betty Y eaglin are in · Chicago attending· the national entertain- ment convention to blockbook performers • for next year. -Betty Yeaglin helps with the financial side of obtaining these per-- formers at · the conventions, said Ms. Cosner. C.U.B. gets one-third of the stu~ dent's activity fee to bring these performers to Marist.

In her last three games against the Col- . lege of New Rochell, Kings College and _ New York Tech, Jones shot 30 of 56 from the field and near perfect, 4-5 from the freethrowline for a total of 64 points. - Along with the 64 points she also had 14 •rebounds and 7 steals to lead the way for Marist. · . Jones, of Wappingers Falls, played at Ketcham High School and Dutchess before coming · to Marist. She credits Marist first · year assistant coach Pat LaSalle for much of her success. "He's helped me a lot defensively this year,'' said Jones. . Diana says she plays her best towards the end of the season. If this holds true for her this year the opposition is in for a tough time. . So for all you've done - this week, and throughout the season, we salute you as the Marist Athlete of the Week. · RIVER _ DISTRIBUTING CO. Noxon Road Poughkeepsie, New York PLAYER OF THE WEEK SPONSORED BY THE MILLER · BREWING COMPANY team have been interesting. "When I first canie here, I was very motivated," said Cronin, "now I just swim for the love of the sport." Cronin said, "As the pressures of college increased, I found it difficult to remain motivated." As a whole, the team seems to be very motivated. Many of the swimmers said that Vializ is responsible for keeping them go- ing. "He inspires us and keeps us going; he's the motivating drive of the team, when we're down he picks us up," said Rizzo. Vializ said that he feels the team is closer this year than · it was his freshman year. "We have a hell of a lot more team spirit than we did last year," said Vializ . "Basically, . everyone's performance is get- ting better so they're getting more psyched about swimming," Vializ said . When you talk _about performances im- poving, you can't forget the Marist College Divers. The five-man team, coached . by Torn Albright, has a 16-0 record. "We have riot Jost a diving event in our dual meets," said Albright. Two of the - divers, Chris Depeu and Harry Ralph, have qualified for the ECAC to be held at West Point this year, and the team has broken 6 previous diving records at Marist. Ralph broke two of these at last week's meet - against Adelphi. Albright said, - "I'm very pleased. At the ECAC, I'd like to expand our image beyond our conference." Looking to the Metropolitan Champion- ships, Albright said, "Our goal is to take first and second on both boards. It's going . to be hard to do because we have to beat Iona." Iona, said Albright, is a Division One team that has two strong divers. "In terms of being on schedule for our goals for the year, we are on that," said Albright. Although . the diving squad may seem small•in numbers, Albright said that it, is bigger" than . any . . . other team in the . Cons . fererice~ - ''Most _ c6Jleges carry only one or two divers; we have four," said Albz:ight. . 2 on 2 finals slated for Sat. The teams of Chris Stempsey and Dan Kladis versus .the team of Bill Nixon and Jay Engel earned the right to battle in the · finals of the Miller High Life 2 on 2 basket- ball tournament after being victorious in • the semi-final round on Monday night. The championship will be held this Saturday at the last Men's basketball home gaine dur- ing half-time. The two teams will be playing for $500 in scholarships and trophies. Tom Welsh: campus representative for Miller, said that due to the increase of the attendance at Marist games the 2 on 2 players have gotten more of a response from the fans. . "The tournament gives Basketball players who are not on the varsity team the . recognition they want," said Welsh. The tournaments · have been held at Marist fo( the past three years and · Miller sponsors similar tournaments at 120 other colleges around the United States. Marist places 2nd in tourney - by Joe Pareti The action was fast and furious at the McCann Center this past Sunday afternoon as seven teams gathered for the Marist Col- lege Indoor Soccer Tournament. The tournament started at I0:00 a.m. with the Marist Red team (Marist was represented by two teams in the tourna- ment) tying Army, 1-1, and ending 7½ hours later with Southern Connecticut State defeating the Marist White team 2-0, for the tournament championship. Other schools represented were Albany State, R.P.I., and C.W. Post. Each game lasted twenty minutes, with two points being awarded to the winning team and one point going to each team in the event of a tie. The teams followed a round-robin format to · determine four semi-finalists. -In the first semi-final game, the Marist White team defeated Army, 1-0, on a goal by Billy Cooper. Paul Palmer, Marist goalkeeper, had been playing superbly all afternoon and the Army game was no ex - ception. Palmer's acrobatic saves brought cheers from an otherwise "quiet" crowd. Many of the players' parents were among the spectators at McCann. The Army-Marist game was the most physical of the day and the Marist defense of Paul Sutherland and Joe Vasile-Cozzo repeatedly stalled the Army attack. John Hintze and Frank Raggo also played par- ticularly well during the Army victory. In the other semi-final contest, Southern Connecticut beat Aloany State, 4-0. Southern Connecticut was bigger and quicker and, aside from their four scores, had several other scoring opportunities. Tlie championship game was set between Marist and Southern Connecticut. The two teams had met earlier in the tournament with that game ending in a 1-1 tie. Southern Connecticut came out fast and controlled most of the play on their way to a 2-0 victory over Marist in the deciding game. A goal · off a direct kick within the first five minutes of play gave Southern Connecticut the momentum right away. Marist front-liners Cooper and Tore Udahl worked hard but were never able to mount a sustained attack . Palmer was beaten later in the game following a throw-in from the right side to seal the championshp for Southern Con- necticut. In the consolation game, Albany State beat Army 2-1. · ' ... ~ ~ - : ·:: · .• , . . , . _ · p~g; : ,2. T~E CIRCLE.
