One result of the heightened awareness flooding the campus is Wheaton’s enrollment in the Plan International El Salvador. This particular organization is responsible for matching underprivileged children living in Third World nations with foster parents in all other parts of the world. Through the efforts of the International Association, Wheaton is honored to have the opportunity to sponsor two chilfren, Felix F. Evangelista and Blanca Estela Alvarado. Felix, born on May 18, 1980, is from the Philippines and is one of eleven children. Blanca’s place of birth is La Libertd. She was born on July 29, 1977 and has seven other siblings. “‘We now have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the earth ten times over!!” is the explosive message the Massachusetts Nuclear Weapons Free Zone lobbyists actively broadcast. Professor Vaino Kola portrays the tragic outcome of a nuclear holocaust in his artwork shown in conjunction with nuclear weapons expert David Bradley’s lecture. Pf

PRO-CHOICE Who should decide who should live or die? The issue of abortion should it be illegal or should the decision be left to the woman involved? Such questions were topics of heated discussion on the bus ride to Washington D.C. on March 8, 1986, for the Pro-Choice March. Approximately 45 Wheaton students travelled eight hours to march in protest of the decision to make abortion illegal. The rally was of importance because of the direct effect of Congress's decision on the students of Wheaton College. The march itself started at the Mall, went past the White House, and ended at the foot of the steps to the House of Congress. Wheaton faculty and alumnae were high stepping with the ranks of current Wheaton students who led the Massachusetts College Delegation with great enthusiasm. The involvement on the part of Wheaton students marks yet one more path toward renewing our excitement.
