Democratic presidential candi
dates campaigning for the March 26
Michigan caucuses took a vacation
from attacking each other to criticize
the Reagan administration's decision
to send American troops to Hondu
ras, and to express opposition to
Reagan's veto of a civil rights bill this
weekend.
Michael Dukakis called Reagan's
decision an "empty gesture," and said
the "need for military support in the
area is very unconvincing. We would
not be in this situation if Reagan had
supported the Arias peace plan
instead of calling for more aid to the
contrast he said.
Dukakis said he would prevent any
country in this hemisphere from being
overrun by communists, but military
measures were not the solution to the
current problem. The administration
must get behind the Arias plan if a
lasting settlement is to be reached, he
said.
Jesse Jackson also strictly opposes
the administration's Central Ameri
can policies, spokesman Eric Easter
said. "The president is simply trying
to divert attention from the recent
Iran-contra indictments and is trying
to garner support for increased aid
to the contras," he said.
Michigan voters seem concerned
about the recent developments in
Central America, Easter said. "We
have been receiving phone calls from
voters who are expressing their
concern for the problem. We feel that
Jackson's stance on this issue will give
us the broad base of support we need
to win in Michigan."
Paul Simon and Richard Gephardt
also voiced opposition to the admin
istration's recent veto of a major civil
rights bill a bill that Simon
sponsored.
"The Reagan administration is
attempting to dismantle a congres
sional consensus of strict enforcement
of civil rights and equal opportunity
issues (through the veto)," said David
Carle, a spokesman for the Simon
campaign.
Richard Gephardt is "strictly
opposed to the Reagan veto," said
Patrick Brookover, a Gephardt
spokeman. "Richard Gephardt spoke
out first and loudest against the veto
and the sending of troops to Hon
duras," he said.
Though there is no clear Demo
cratic leader, all candidates were
optimistic about the upcoming cau
cuses in Michigan. Dukakis suppor
ters in Michigan said he can win if
he takes some of Jackson's urban
support, but Jackson officials said his
strength in the cities, combined with
broad support in suburban areas,
should help him win next Saturday's
caucuses.

Pairldimg problems, weather cause
UNC food drive to be cancelled
By R.L INGLE
Staff Writer
The UNC portion of the "Feed the
Triangle" food drive, scheduled for
Saturday, was canceled because of
bad weather and parking problems
from the NCAA tournament, the
event's coordinator said Sunday.
Unexpected cold weather and a
high demand for parking spaces in
the lot that was to be a base for the
drive led to the cancellation of the
drive, said Stephanie Ahlschwede,
Student Congress Student Affairs
Committee chairwoman and organ
izer of the UNC part of the event.
The food drive continued as sche
duled at other participating
universities.
The drive was to be a joint effort
among N.C. State University
(NCSU), Duke University, Shaw
University, Meredith College and
Peace College and was expected to
be the largest drive ever held to
benefit the Triangle Food Bank,
assistant bank director Marilyn
McNeely said last week.
The NCAA basketball tournament
games being played at the Smith
Center played a large part in the
decision to cancel the event, Ahlsch
wede said.
"If it had been just the weather,
we would have kept on," she said.
uWe had people pull in the lot and
say, 'Are you here guarding this
parking lot or can we park here for
the game?' After a while, we just gave
up.
"Well try again next year."
At NCSU, 15,000 cans of food were
collected from the community, she
said. Counts for the other participat
ing schools were not available.
NCSU Student Senator Charles
Rambeau, coordinator of the
Triangle-wide event, could not be
reached for comment.
The entire capital was without
electricity after leftist guerrillas blew
up transmission towers outside the
city. The outage meant that virtually
no one in the city had running water,
as the state-owned utility's pumps run
on electricity.
The outage knocked almost all
radio stations off the air, and only
the army's Radio Cuscatlan, which
has a powerful generator, was broad
casting news. ,
Telephone calls to local radio
reporters around the country showed
that guerrillas had knocked out
power in 11 of El Salvador's 14
provinces.
A half-dozen explosions were
heard late Saturday and early Sunday
in and around the capital. Guerrillas
of the Farabundo Marti National
Liberation Front had vowed to step
up sabotage to demonstrate their
"repudiation" of the vote.
The rebels, engaged in an 8-year-old
war with the U.S.-backed govern
ment, considered the vote "a farce"
and called for a boycott.
The destruction of transmission
towers and high-tension lines fol
lowed the explosion Friday night of
a car bomb in the affluent neighbor
hood of Escalon. One person was
injured.
At stake were all 60 seats in the
National Assembly, the unicameral
legislature. Voters also elected
mayors and municipal councils in all
the 862 cities and towns nationwide.
All the terms last for three years.
It was the fifth time since a 1979
coup by reform-minded officers that
voters were casting ballots in an open
election. The last election was in 1985.
Erlinda Guevara, a 45-year-old
housewife, was the first to vote at a
polling station on the capital's Roose
velt Avenue. Because of the guerilla
imposed transport ban that began
Friday and drastically curtailed
traffic, she had walked tree miles to
vote.
"We can't let ourselves be intim
idated by violence. We have to lift
up El Salvador, and we're going to
lift it up by voting," she said.
Polls opened at 7 a.m. for 10 hours,
with early returns not expected until
Monday.
It brings out
the best
in ail of us.
