TV X-Mew Page 10, THE TRINITY TRIPOD, April 15, 1986 ORLD OUTLOOK Contra Aid Futile For those who believe that continued funding of the Nicaraguan contras will bring about continued stalemate and bloodshed in that country, the narrow House defeat of Reagan's request for $100 million in aid for the eontras was a victory, albeit a small one and probably a short-lived one. However, the refusal of the Sandinistas to sign the Contadora Peace agreement and the subsequent break-down on the Contadora talks on April 7 was a disappointment and a frustration to those who see a nego- tiated settlement as the only practical alternative to the failed military pressure. The American involvement in Nicaragua is not so simplistic as to be painted in black and white. The contras are far from the "freedom fight- ers" and the Sandinistas are not quite the evil totalitarians that the President has made them out to be. Yet, nor are all of the contras blood- thirsty barbarians and the Sandinistas well-intenioned "Democratic" lead- ers waiting to hand over the power to the people. Out of this confusion though, the United States must clearly define its goals in Nicaragua and develop a policy which will insure our security and the stability of the neighboring countries, and foster democracy within Nicaragua. President Reagan's grand design for Nicaragua is unstated yet widely known and clearly understood — he wants the removal of the Sandinista government and the installation of a government more tailored to Wash- ington's needs. To pursue this end Reagan has enlisted the support of the contras, supplied them with weapons and equipment, and handed them over to the. CIA for organization, training and instruction in some of the tricks of the intelligence trade that the CIA knows well. (Anybody who doesn't know what the CIA does should read the black manual that they passed out to the contras.) Reagan, and others in his administration, believe that the pressure exerted by the contras will topple the Sandinista government. However, many government officials, including William Casey, head of the CIA, now concede that the eontras do not have the strength to overthrow the ruling Junta. A major source of weakness in the contra campaign lies in their disunity. They are divided into several splinter groups and factions. The two largest contra groups (the FDN and the ARDE) are led by two men on the complete opposite of the ideological spectrum. One is headed by Eden Pastora, a disillusioned former Sandinistan and the other is commanded by Enrique Bermudez, once a Somozoa man. And, though the ranks of the contras have grown, they have produced no substantial military vic- tories. The contras are neither strong enough nor powerful enough to even make a dent in the Sandinista stronghold. If Reagan truly wants to Mtw. MEWS • MEA Colleae Press Service oust the Sandinistas, he has no other option than to flex the American muscle. Nicaraguan policy, then, stems from a disagreement over the means to achieve the ends — there is very little disagreement over the ends them- selves. The World Outlook Many administration officials and congressmen, both Democrat and The World In Republican, contend that ttie contra pressure is a necessary tool to force section is an Open the Sandinistas, to concede these .points. (The House rejected $100 million Forum for the views in contra aid by only a slim margin — 222 to 210. The Senate voted in Review favor of the aid — 53 to 47.) Yet, the past few years of contra pressure of its writers. The has proven to be tremendously counterproductive to America's goals. We have yet to see one point which the Sandinistas have conceded due to opinions expressed HILLARY DAVIDSON military pressure. Instead, the years of military aid and pressure "have managed to achieve...the simultaneously disserving of all those interests in this section do not [U.S. goals]. There is hardly a point among them on which we are not James Chace, editor of the New York Times Book Review and author of worse off than we were in 1980." (Commonweal, April 1983) The pressure necessarily conform the book Endless War; How We Got Involved in Central America and has backfired. James Chace wrote that "The contras have unquestionably with those of the What Can Be Done, wrote that "Neither of his [Ronald Reagan's] major killed some innocent people, and the Sandinistas have used the contra objectives —. the overthrow of the Sandinista government in Nicaragua... danger to, rally the population, justify their own military build-up and World Outlook — is likely to be achieved without the use of American troops." Indeed a suspend civil liberties." top secret briefing paper sent to Congress in April of 1985 said that The administration believed that the pressure would lead to a decrease Editors or the entire "direct application of U.S. military force...must realistically be recognized in the size of the Sandinistan army.

On Saturday May 3, the annual St. Anthony Hall Soap Box Derby will be held. Vernon Street will be closed for race, and haystacks will be placed at the end of the street. Proceeds from the race will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the Trinity College Child Day Care Center. Clubs, professors, fraternities and dormitories are encouraged to pool their resources and build race cars. Hartford Police will examine each race car for safety. They want to see each car a few days prior to the race. Each car must have brakes and a steering mechanism. There is a three person limit to each car. Propulsion will come only from gravity; there will be no pushing or pedaling at the start or during the race. Each car will have three runs against different cars. The two cars with the best times of the day will race in the finals for the trophy, which will be presented at the Hall at midnight at the Awards Ceremony Party. All those interested in building soap box racers and participating should register soon. This year the Hartford police will be strict on the safety of each car, and all participants should make sure that their cars are okayed by April 28th. Good luck and see you at the races.
