LASC has provided writing materials and information at a table in the EMU to generate on-the-spot letters by students.. "The letters can elucidate the issues students think are important, such as opposi tion to Contra terrorism activity, U.S. interven tion or funding," Kikhoff said. Students particularly should be interested in the funding issue, said Chris Orsinger. a staff member for the Council for Human Rights in Latin America who helps facilitate LASC meetings. Reagan's budget calls for reducing student ^financial aid by $200 million, while asking for' ■$H)0 million for the Contras. Orsinger said. .LASC has focused on encouraging Sen. .
