Aquino was gunned down at the Manila International Air port Aug. 21 as he returned from three years of self-exile in the United States. His killer has still not been identified by au thorities. In Concepcion, nearly all the town’s 80,000 people lined the town’s main thoroughfare to bid farewell to “Ninoy,†their best- known native son. Shortly after leaving Concep cion, a crowd of several hundred stopped the hearse and about 10 young men jumped onto the hood. Security guards pushed them off, but for the next 2 miles a crowd of about 200 men jog ged alongside the vehicle chant ing “fight, fight, fight.†At the small community of Dau, where the caravan was sup posed to have turned toward the four-lane Philippine-American highway to Manila, a crowd re fused to let the driver pass. They convinced the cortege instead to take the less traveled MacArthur Highway, which passes through several small towns north of Manila. Thousands of people, many throwing coins and flowers and pouring soft drinks on the hearse, joined the procession as it crept slowly toward the capital. In Angeles City, adjacent to the giant U.S. Clark Air Base, the cortege was met by the roar of F-4 Phantom jets overhead, a local brass band playing a funer al dirge on the back of a flatbed truck and the release of a flock of pigeons with yellow ribbons tied around their necks. People along the route did not appear to have much confi dence in the government account of the killing — that Aquino was shot by the gunman. “I think the government had something to do with it,†said one young man, who suggested there would be more demon strations throughout the Philip pines.

In Nicaragua, Interior Minis ter Tomas Borge warned that current fighting between the Sandinista army and American- backed rebels could soon involve U.S. troops. Barricada, the official news paper of the leftist Sandinista Party, quoted Borge as saying Fighting could worsen in the next few days. “We have made cold calcula tions, analyzing all the possibili ties, and if the troops from the United States come to Nicar agua they will have a worse time than in Vietnam,†Borge said. In Guatemala, a political par ty leader charged that “ultra rightist fascist†gunmen, re sponsible for the death squad executions that took place almost daily under previous re gimes, have been unleashed again by the new government. Rony Villavicencio Calderon, secretary general of the new Organized Popular Force, said Sunday that gunmen had ordered party followers to stay out of politics twice since Gen. Oscar Humbero Mejia Victores seized power earlier this month. Under the Romeo Lucas Gar cia regime, hundreds of politi cians, union activists, students and teachers were assassinated, while international human rights groups called Guatemala the worst human rights violator in the world.

Francisco Quinones and Bishop Marcos Revelo, mem bers of the government-backed Salvadoran Peace Commission, arrived in Bogota late Saturday and planned to meet the guerril las Monday in the private office of Colombian President Belisar- io Betancur. Quinones indicated the meet ing would deal with details for an meeting between President Alvaro Magana and the Salva doran guerrillas at a later date. Bonilla and Carlos Molina, spokesmen for the Democratic Revolutionary Front and the Marti Front for National Libera tion, flew in from Panama late Sunday night. In a post-midnight interview in his hotel room, Bonilla said, “We see this as historic step to enter into direct dialogue with the Salvadoran government.†The first direct meeting be tween the two groups is a follow up to the July 31 meeting be tween Central America’s U.S. envoy Richard Stone and leftist guerrilla leader Ruben Zamora in Bogota. a>Ki PHI KAPPA TAU PRESENTS ITS FIRST ANNUAL FALL RUSH If you are looking for the opportunity to make new friends, gain im mediate leadership and the chance to get involved NOW, then PHI KAP PA TAU is for you!
