When the winds subsided, "reality set in with lines for gasoline, for bread, for water, for food," says George Ann Huck, director of Central College's Yucatan program at Meri-da. "Shortages seen in Merida were worse along the coast and in the rural areas. People had no homes, no crops, no direction, no hope." In villages near the capital city, flooding washed away land. Crops were destroyed. Scores of stick-like houses were battered and the former and z3 hnvelopes.

Qiy Huck says the students were told by Lopez that the relief money had been frozen and was unavailable. "Their impressions were that she avoided their questions. She said, 'When the weekend comes I'm tired and I just want to do other reported Huck.

"We asked how the supplies were going to be distributed," says Rick Magill, a student who met with Lopez, "and we were told she wasn't quite sure." "Before you can rebuild the houses you need more fill dirt and these people are too poor even to pay the gasoline for trucks to bring in more dirt to build houses on," he says. Huck says, "There needs to be firecrackers set under them or something." Lopez said in a telephone interview from her office that the organization has been unable to pay the cost of moving the Iowa supplies to Merida. She says the Mexican government has promised to furnish a plane but it hasn't arrived. "It's too expensive. We've had to use government channels," she says.

"I met with the students but they didn't present any plans and they didn't ask for any money," she says. Merida's establishment hasn't ignored the hurricane victims, she says. "There are not a lot of people who have gone into the communities to rebuild but have been helping get implements and other items. They have taken victims into their own homes, too," she says. Meanwhile, Adolfo Martinez of Art's Trucking says he was alerted last week that a plane was on its way from Mexico to pick up the supplies, but it never arrived.

He said he didn't know when it would come. Central's Timmer says: "There's a feeling of frustration. We can see the needs and we can see the money. Obviously the money isn't getting to the needs. There doesn't seem to be a good reason why it isn't getting there.

People who are in charge don't see those needs very intensely "They naturally became interested in where the aid was going, particularly the Iowa aid, which was very normal because these students were from Iowa," says Huck, who has been with the Central program since 1968. "When social classes get involved, the situation gets very complicated here," she says. "People get caught up in power plays. The Partners for the Americas people send their kids up to Iowa to summer school. There are always a lot of perks, trips people can make.

It's not the nature of the upper classes to go out in the villages and tromp around to see who needs help." Says Huck, "It doesn't do any good when the materials are in Texas and the money is in the bank. This is an emergency. That's the tragedy of it all. People are still living without roofs." For 23 years, Iowa has had a sister-state relationship with Yucatan. Volunteers from each side have exchanged cultural and financial help.

Mexican children have come to Iowa schools to teach Spanish. Iowans have gone there to furnish medical care, to rebuild water systems, to school farmers in the proper use of insecticide. Packed in a trailer at McAllen are 2,280 pounds of powdered milk, 70 boxes of blankets, nine boxes of flashlights and batteries donated by the Iowa Retail Hardware Dealers Association, two boxes of antibiotics, one sewing machine a gift from a sympathetic Iowan and enough plastic sheeting to put roofs on some 400 village homes. "The items enclosed," say typewritten messages taped to the boxes, "are given to the campaneros des las Americas en Yucatan at no cost for assistance in helping our friends in Yucatan recover from the Hurricane which destroyed many of their homes and agriculture." Little Cooperation The students sought help from Pilar Esquivel Lopez in Merida, an accountant and president of the Yucatan Partners of the Americas. f5 i5 Postage Handling Charges Up to $6 00 add $1 50 $6 01 $13 00 add $2 25 $1 1.01 $J6 00 add $2.25 $26 01 19 00 add $3 50 $39 01 $52 00 add $5 25 $52 01 FREE Postage and Handling Description price Total Hawkeye Name Labels $3 30 set Hawkeye Notepads $38 set Hawkeye Stationery Kits MH ict Hawkeye Gift Kits 2 98 kit Cyclone Name Labels tj.

Food, medicine, thick cardboard building materials necessary to enclose the houses and iodine tablets to decontaminate drinking water have been scarce since. Now the evenings are chilly, says Huck, "and there are a lot of lung problems, especially with children." Students Help The Central College students began rebuilding homes in the villages with 700 sent from the Faculty Benevolent Fund at the Pella campus. "Our students decided that it was a good idea to have a project. We have been working in a village where the people are still living in the swamps.

Actually, the houses fell into the swamps," Huck says. Hammers, saws, nails and crowbars were bought with the college gift and the dozen students went to work.
