In San Diego, various related activities are planned culminating in a March through the city and a rally in Balboa Park on April 15, This month's plea for peace will make evident the tremendous financial expense of the Vietnam war and the great need to divert these monies to solve pressing domestic problems. This is why a good deal of the planned protest activities are directed at the taxpayer, who must meet his deadline at the middle of this month. Being shown on campus today is the film, " Inside North Vietnam" made by Felix Greene, a reporter for the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE. This film supposedly displays the tremendous will to win of the North Vietnamese people. The weekend will be taken up with the task of leafletting in the San Diego area - reaching the taxpayers at such places as shopping centers and movie theatres. Starting Monday there will be a three-day fast held as a symbolic reflection of the war suffering. Moratorium leaders suggest that money saved on food during this fast be given to the American Friends Service Committee or the Fellowship of Reconciliation in Vietnam, or a favorite charity. Accompanying this fast will be a vigil to be held at the post office in Downtown San Diego. The purpose of this vigil is to explain to the citizen, who will be paying his illcome taxes at the post office, the immense, wasteful burden which he must shoulder.

According to AP, two reporters at the scene said Guevara was hit by assault rifle fire as he crossed an intersection with three Red Cross workers, and the fire came from the side of the street controlled by air force paratroopers. Rebels had withdrawn from positions on the other side of the street more than an hour before, and military officers on the scene had given the Red Cross workers the go-head to proceed, the witnesses said. Both insisted on not being identified by name for fear of reprisals. Guevara Paez was interred Dec. 3 in his hometown of Lolotique, Usulatan department. Guevara studied journalism and photography in San Salvador and also worked for a local radio station.

If you do something right, I'm going to take your pictuw. If ym do sameflzing roucmg, I'm going fo take your picture also. -John Hoagland uring the Vietnam War, John Hoagland filed for and Dreceived conscientious objector status. Paradoxi- cally, nine years after that war's end, he died in El Salva- dor by a bullet from a US-made M-60 machine gun. His parents first heard of his death on the radio-they later received condolences from the State Department. Hoagland's death was not unexpected since his name was on the death squads' lengthy "hit list." To the embarrassment of officials, his photographs recorded the brutal Salvadoran civil war, which was largely financed by the United States. According to Frontline: Our Forgot- ten War WET,New York, 1985), military and economic aid to El Salvador was 3 billion dollars since 1980. Some two-thirds of the 750,000 citizens who fled El Salvador ended up in the US: many were deported back to join the imprisoned or the disappeared. Archbishop Oscar Ro- mero was gunned down in 1980 while conducting mass, and many church workers, mostly Jesuits, were assassi- nated. Three nuns and one Iayworker from the US were also raped and murdered, their bodies found in a coIlec- tive grave at a dumpsite. By the time of Hoagland's death in 2984,65,000 civilians had been murdered by the National Guard and right-wing paramilitary forces," Despite this contradicting evidence, President Reagan's National Bipartisan Commission on Central Amer- ica (MacmiIlan, 1984) justified massive miIitary support to El Salvador because of their promise for "democratic reforrnmJ'Critics of Reagan's policy, however, claimed that the main objective was to use EI Salvador as a wedge between the "Marxist" Sandidstas and the Cubans.

In recent years a significant amount of effort and resources have gone into secondary education, but baseline data have not been available about this activity. This report examines current practices in all states, entered in alphabetical order but excluding Hawaii, which has no migrant programs, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To prepare the report researchers examined the last two years of states' data. The report compiles information on each state's migrant program organization and unique secondary programs, provides a summary of the state plans for 1987 and 1988, lists secondary components, and includes secondary sta" development, needs assessment, and demographic information. Related topics include basic skills learning, vocational and employment training, tutoring and counseling, learning English as a second language, and parents' involvement. High school equivalency programs are listed in the state profiles, but secondary students are not included in state performance reports or demographic data. The document contains 85 references.

Department of Political Science The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date August. 1974 ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to explain the commission of atrocities of war in Vietnam. The paper begins with a brief review of the nature of the war and the legal verification of atrocities in Vietnam. The thesis advanced by this paper is that the atrocities committed in Vietnam were a direct result of the technologies developed for and employed by the belligerents to the conflict; and, the psychological conditioning to which members of the warring sides were exposed both prior to and during the conflict. The paper further suggests that these two elements contributed to the atrocity-producing situation in Vietnam by means of an "action-reaction" process.
