New senators were sworn in and outgoing members were awarded plaques at a reception last night at Gatsby's, 100 W. College Ave. Parvensky said USG must have unity or it "will not get anywhere." This strength will be a factor in making next year "the best year Penn State has ever had. "Some people have accused me of being idealistic but student Ambassador critical of U.S. By MIKE NETHERLAND Collegian Staff Writer U.S. foreign policy toward Central America should not be based on a loose application of human rights policies nor on maintaining friendly governments via military interven tion, a former U.S. ambassador to Nicaragua said last night. The alternative to these two poli cies, neutrality, is not plausable be cause of intervention by other governments, said Mauricio Soluan in a presentation sponsored by the University's Latin American Studies Society, and the College of The Liberal Arts. Solaun said it was the "wishy washy" application of the Carter administration's human rights policy which• led to the Sandinista takeover of Nicaragua in July 1979. "(Sen. Edward M. • Kennedy, D- Mass., ) just before I left for Nicara gua (in August 1977), claimed there were only 50 Sandinistas," he said. "Our intelligence said there were more Sandinistas in the San Francis co area than in Nicaragua." The human rights campaign forced Somoza to adopt measures that weak In conjunction with national and state Con sumers Week, the Undergraduate Student Gov ernment will sponsor consumer awareness events this week. This year marks the first time USG, which formed its senate consumer protection commit tee in ,November, has participated in National Consumers Week.

As a result of government relaxation the Sandinista movement gained mo mentum. But by failing to bring enough pres sure to force Somoza's resignation, the United States alienated itself from the opposition as well as from Sornoza by threatening sanctions if he did not conform to the human rights policy. On the other hand, Solaun said he does not appiove of the Reagan ad ministration's intervention in El Sal vador in which "we claim the old role of King-maker." Solaun said it is resurgence of the cold war spirit that created the Somoza regime and fos tered other client states in Central America ultimately leading to the present turmoil. Despite his objection to interventio nist policies, Solaun said he would not like to see a Marxist-Leninst regime take power in El Salvador as was the case in Nicaragua. He said there is no doubt that this would happen if the United States pulls out of El Salvador given contin ued support of the insurgency by Nicaragua and Cuba. "Consumers supply demand" is the theme announced by Reagan. On campus today, USG will distribute con sumer information kits on the HUB ground People will be available to answer any ques tions about consumer rights, said Bill Kraftsow, chairman of the USG Senate's consumer protec tion committee.

Parvensky, commended this year's USG officers President Leni Barch, Vice President Lee Facetti, senate President Steve Ripp and Academic Assembly President Chris Hopwood for their dedication and hard work throughout the past year. Barch addressed the incoming senate, saying they are getting an education by working within the University bureaucratic system. "Penn State really is the real world," she said; life within the University is just as bureaucratic as the real world. The senate is a very fortunate body because it was chosen by the students, Facetti said.

Thornburgh Main or the USG office, student input starts with students, he said. "If you think that you represent the students, then represent them," he advised the new senators. USG members are privileged and know much more than most students about the University and student government, he said, , The average student is ignorant about these things, he said. Keynote speaker Rosemary Schraer, University associate, provost, said the keys to a successful student government are trust, close working relationshipi and a . supportive environ ment. USG is a select, privileged group with an enormous responsi— bility, she said. If USG is ,to lead effectively, she said, it must::. have the respect of those who lead; have a purpose and a need. for change; involve concerned people; foster communication and accurate information; and work for gradual progress.
