Senate urges halt of El Salvador aid Oregon may be first to submit bill By Michele Matassa Of the Emerald If Oregon senators had their way, El Salvador would be $200 million poorer Wednesday, the Senate voted 29-1 to send a memorandum to Congress urging a halt of all aid to the war-torn country. Before the bill goes into effect, how ever, it must pass in the House Sen. Margie Hendriksen, D Eugene, says she is surprised and pleased at the bipartisan support given Senate Joint Memorial 6. Oregon may be the first state to submit this type of initiative, she says. Hendriksen sponsored the bill and carried it onto the Senate floor from the judiciary com mittee, where it received una nimous support, she says. This success for Hendriksen comes after a defeat on the is sue in the House in 1981. The bill went down by only one vote then, Hendriksen says. She expressed relief .for the attitude change over a period in which "so much more death and destruction has occurred ” Between the 1981 vote and this one, U S. aid to El Salvador has skyrocketed from $35 mil lion to $200 million, Hendriksen says. Registrar mulls over retirement University Registrar Wanda Johnson, who has worked in the registrar's office for more than two decades, said Tuesday that she has decided to apply for early retirement. One of the reasons Johnson said she decided to retire early is her frustration with the lack of computer registration and the lack of funds and resources. But the money problems are not the only reasons, she said. “I'm tired," Johnson said. “It's time to step down. I think it’s time to iet the younger people come on board." Johnson said she still has another year under her contract and that her request for early retirement has yet to be approved by Gerard Moseley, associate provost for student affairs. “It’s irony giving $200 million to this dictatorship and their death squads” while the United States is suffering economical ly, she says. Hendriksen compares this Senate support to the Vietnamese era. "when different state legislatures started petitioning to say, ‘Hey, you’re going on the wrong track here ' ” Sen. Mae Yih, D-Albany, provided the dissenting vote She explained her stance after the floor vote "I don’t think that the state government of Oregon should be involved in the foreign affairs of our national government. Nor should we be involved in the internal affairs of foreign coun tries,” Yih said Robert Guitteau, staff member of the Eugene Council for Human Rights in Latin America, says the vote is encouraging. "The size of the vote should be an indication to both our congressmen and other state legislatures that bipartisan action needs to be taken to stop military aid to El Salvador and to save lives,” says Guitteau, who worked on the issue with Hendriksen. r Emerald photo Margie Hendriksen D-Eugene sponsored the bill to stop aid to El Salvador. He recognizes the difficulty of reaching Pres. Ronald Reagan. “As long as the Reagan administration continues their attitude of military victory, they are going to resist any peaceful solutions or even any peace ini tiatives to resist their policy,” Guitteau says. Penetration of the admin istration "means everybody in organizations taking an active stand within their organiza tions,” he says. "If their voices aren’t heard, we are accomplices to the action of our government," says Guitteau.
