ing University Students in Kxile. the Central
Americ an Kcfugee (lommittee and the* ( amimittee
in Solidarity with the People of Kl Salvador, the
group sponsoring Ins college- tour

form Amerii an students about events taking
place in his homeland and to let them know what
they can do to support their counterparts at the
University of Kl Salvador
The universities in San Salvador and Kugene
have been linked for the- past five years through
the Sister University Project, said group member

Vidor Navarro, from El Salvador, is touring
the United States in an effort to inform Ameri
cans about events in his country.
Ihi* United States — AtlEUS students use skills in
medicine, economics and agronomy learned at
tin- university to help the thousands of farm
workers flocking to the slums of San Salvador.
However, owners of K1 Salvador's private in
dustries resent the help given to El Salvadorans
to operate their own small cooperatives, Navarro
said And El Salvador's ruling oligarchy, consist
ing of industry owners and military leaders, retal
iates against the students.
Eor the past week, El Salvadoran soldiers have
surrounded the university campus with tanks
an action that is not unusual for a military that
occupied the university from HIBO-m and again
for seven months la-ginning last November. Na
varro said.
Navarro said the most recent military action is
in retaliation for an attack on an air force base by
the rebel group KMLN on Friday.
"Whatever FM1JM does is taken out on the ci
vilians," Navarro said.
