Heine, a member of the American Friends Service Committee, pre sented a slide show and a talk Wednesday night on her recent visit to Nicaragua and three Salavadoran ref ugee camps. “I don’t know what kind of pic ture you get when you think of the word 'refugee,'” Heine said to her audience of about 50. Salvadoran refugees are con cerned with learning skills and pass ing them on to their children, Heine said. Of Salvadoran adults, 60 percent cannot read or write, Heine said, and many spend half a day in school learning from volunteer instructors. They spend the rest of the day tea ching what they have learned to Sal vadoran children, she said. Others in the camps learn skills such as sewing or metalworking. ■'Nearly everything that ihe\ make is used by the people that live there." Heine said. She said the majority of Salvado rans in ref ugee camps share one sen timent: "La poblacion dice no a la reubicacion,” or "The people are against relocation." The U.S. and Honduran govern ments are threatening to move the refugee camps 400 miles into Hon duras. Heine said. and the elderly would survivellj trip, she said.

(Huuy 30) ^ College Stotion, Tx. 693-8012 Jf BONFIR6 SP6CIRIS! * WASHINGTON — Environmen tal Protection Agency chief William Ruckelshaus resigned Wednesday, saying he had accomplished his goal of "steei ing a steady course” after taking over the troubled agency last year from Anne Burford. Ruckelshaus, the first person to head the EPA when it was created in 1970, returned in May 1983 to re place the beleaguered Burford, who resigned under fire after allegations of mismanagement and favoritism toward companies regulated by the agency. Ruckelshaus, a former Indiana congressman who also served as deputy attorney general during Wa tergate, said he was resigning “with both regret and a sense of accom plishment” effective Jan. 5. The unexpected resignation letter vaguely referred to his desire to re turn to private life. , “My sense of acorriplishment de rives from the current state of EPA,” he said in a letter to President Rea gan. "Employee morale is high, litst- rate presidential appointees are in place, a management system has been installed that is functioning yvell and all of the programs have generated momentum. "In short, the ship called EPA is righted and is now steering a steady course.” Reagan, in accepting the resigna tion “with great regret," praised Ruckelshaus’ “reputation for lead ership, thoughtfulness and personal integrity." 1 he president noted dial Rutkelshaus yv.ts making "ana- traordinai y personal sacrifice’tort turn to government. “Since reasstuning control EPA. you have performedyounkl ties in an exemplary manneraa! hay e justified fully the faithwtiicill and so mam Americans have a| you,” Reagan said.

Instead, Helms will remain as chairman of the Agriculture Com mittee — keeping a campaign prom ise to his North Carolina constitu ents — and leave the foreign relations job he coveted to Indiana’s Richard L agar. “If I can’t keep my word I don’t belong here,” Helms said somewhat ruefully. “If there’s one job I’d like to have around here it’s foreign rela tions.” The Agriculture Committee has jurisdiction over the government’s tobacco programs, including subsi dies and limits on the number of people who groyv the tobacco plant. The decision by Helms — senior Re- K ublican on both committees — may ave been prompted at least in part by Lugar’s defeat for the top COP leadership job. Lugar, no friend of the tobacco programs, ranked just behind Helms at both committees. Had Helms shifted to Foreign Relations, Lugar would have been left in charge at Agriculture. The chairmanship shuffle, said Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, the GOP conference secretary, “yvas considered in the decision made by some of the senators (on the lead ership vote). It may not have changed any votes, but it certainly was a factor that had to be consid ered.” Other committee shuffles prompted by leadership elections Wednesday include the ascendency of Oregon’s Robert Packwood to head the powerful Finance Commit tee in place of Robert Dole of Kan sas, the new majority leader. Packwood, a moderate, generally agrees with the administration on tax issues but has been known to butt heads with the administration on so cial issues and foreign policy. Replacing Packwood as chairman of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, will lx? John Danforth of Missouri. Barry Goldyvater of Arizona yvill take over chairmanship of the Armed Services Committee from re tiring Sen. John Tower of Texas, ola Goldyvater plans to retire in 1986.
