Cuban Students Label Fidel By GARY LACEY CiUr Nebrukn Cm Editor "Fidel Castro is an ego tist working to .become a god, and his tactics are communistic."1 Ramon Sanchez, 17, and Miguel Estrada, 16, two of the five freshman Cuban students attending classes at the University, stated that the Castro revo lution was communistic in origin and the present' gov ernment is entirely con trolled by the Soviet Union. Sanchez said that on every block In Havana there Is a house occupied by supporters of Castro, and their specific duty is to inform police of any "action against the gov ernment" committed by the people living there.

The term1, "dissolved" means that the funds of the organization will be frozen, its meeting place denied, and its student members and officers subject to University disciplin ary action if the organization continues to function. Scholz said that each of the organizations (except Gam ' ma Alpha Chi," Kappa Alpha Mu and the Nebraska Collegi ate Broadcasting Association whose addresses were not on file) had been sent letters at least 10 days ago informing them of their failure to com ply with University Student Affairs' regulations, j John Abrahamzon, Coun cil member, said that the j Nebraska Collegiate Broad casting Association and Kappa Alpha Mu were now defunct. In other Council business, parking committee chairman Steve Cass reported that in talks he held recently with the Chancellor's assistant, Jim Pittinger, Capt. -Eugene Mas ters of the campus police, and Carl A. Donaldson, Uni versity business manager, the possibility of making traffic around the library mall one way and of permanently clos ing 12th Street between R and S streets was suggested. 1 Additional Lots Donaldson told Cass that the University administration was being constantly pressed for additional lots near the center of campus. However, Donaldson added, New Dorm Plan By WENDY ROGERS The University Board of Regents has authorized Busi ness Manager Carl A.

Communists "Of the six million people in Cuba, there are about one hundred thousand com munists, and twenty thous and of them are immigrants from China and Russia. In the three years that Castro has been in power, he has killed 20,000 people," San chez said. Anti-Castro groups are present in Cuba, but they are composed of students.

Donaldson, said, the lot vacated by the razing of 'the old Nebraska Hall south of Avery lab will not be converted into a park ing lot. The money used for grad ing, graveling and main taining the lot for the sev eral years it would be in use before construction of new buildings began would be wasted. In other business, Al Plum mer moved that the Student Council calendar committee conduct a complete survey of student opinion on the desired dates for the Christmas vaca tion schedule for 1963. "Since the Faculty Senate calendar committee meets in early October to set up the Christmas vacation schedule for the next year, it is im possible for the Council to ad vise this committee at that early a date in the school year. Thus, it is imperative that we act now in order to schedule vacations for two years in advance, he added. Jim Samples, second vice president suggested that this survey might De taiten as stu dents register for either the spring or fall semester. Telephone1 Poll Steve Joynt of the Public Relations committee reported that a telephone poll of a ran dom sample of 3,000 students will be taken by the Council and Associates early in tnis semester to determine student knowledge of the Council and its activities and their repre sentatives. "The poll will serve as a check on the effectiveness of Student Council publicity," Joynt said.

A bonus of as much as $90,000 was discussed. The figure was based on the ex pected revenue from Twin Towers for one semester which $90,000, not count ing income from the food service facilities. The board took such action at their meeting Friday, con vinced by the argument that the University would lose at least that much in tuition and room rent if the dormitory rooms were not ready. According to Donaldson, building blueprints will be sent to contractors for study next week. However, the ex act details of the "incen tive" plan will not be re leased with the blueprints. If bids are let in March, the low bidder will have only 17 months to finish. While there was some dis cussion of a sliding bonus scale a full bonus for an Aug. 1 completion and smaller bonus for a Sept. 1 finish, Donaldson felt the earlier date would be more desirable because it would ons to stage any kl&! of a revolution, Sanchez said. Just like all University students, these five from Cuba have problems, too. "We are in the Student Union too much," Estrada said. Problem Estrada, who is carrying 7 hours this semester, says that his biggest problem is the E n g 1 i s h language. "I can always get the general idea, but I don't understand some idioms and technical terms," he said.

Har din noted that the University has never yet been able to get a building finished in 17 months, but without such an incentive plan to the 1 o w bid der, "we've got one chance in a hundred" to have the rooms ready by September of 1963. . The "incentive bonus" would be added on to the building cost, according to Comptroller Joseph Soshnik. This would raise the estimated cost, depending on the build er's finishing time, to $4,740, 000. If the dormitories were not ready, said Dr. Hardin, many students who might otherwise enroll at the Uni versity would go elsewhere because they would expect trouble finding housing. An estimated '3,600 students had to find their own housing this school year. The $4 million dormitory project will house 860 stu dents in two 13-story resi May dents are enrolled In a spe cial English course for for eign students. The Cubans came to the University separately, and housing was arranged by the Catholic Social Service, whidh is financing their en tire educations. The greater share of the money used by this organization is donated by Americans.

Cuba ex-, ports a great part of its CCUN Bid. i labeled "controversial" by members of the CCUN com mittee, are adopted each year at an Inter-collegeiate Institute where each local chapter has one vote, Jim Samples, second vice president and University rep resentative to the October CCUN convention , in New York, strongly opposed the committee's resolution. I feel it is the duty of the Council to set up the CCUN under its sponsorship," he said. "The debate over sponsor ship is really a question of the responsibility of the Stu dent Council in these areas," he added. Attacking the reasons that the committee had listed for denying sponsorship to the CCUN chapter, Samples said, "First, I do not feel the re sponsible membership of the Council will create an organ ization (CCUN chapter) which will be radical in na ture and m e irresponsible pronouncements. "Secondly, the change in Council membership from year to year is not a valid criticism since the Student Council itself is a stable, con tinuing organization." "Finally, the CCUN chap ter does mot need to partici pate in a great number of ex pensive projects. It can se lect those projects it de sires," Samples said, "As long as it is participating in at least some." Membership Committee member Herbie Nore had said that if a local chapter did not participate in CCUN projects, such as raising money for UNESCO or col lecting books for colleges abroad, it would be stripped of its membership. The committee had also pointed out the .cost of send ing delegates to national and regional CCUN conferences. Council president Steve Gage said that he understood that the motion which set up the CCUN committee had asked it to study the question of setting up the CCUN chap ter unde "temporary" Coun cil sponsorship. "Thus, when the local CCUN became strong enough, it would be released from Council control," Gage said. Buckley replied that the Council resolution had only directed his com mittee to "discuss the pos sibility of setting up the machinery for the CCUN under the jurisdiction of the Public Issues Commit tee." Questioned about the inter est of students outside the Student Council in setting up the CCUN, Miss Nore said that those interviewed had been "excited about the CCUN" and that she believed there were a sufficient num ber to organize the group. Supporting the committee's resolution, Susie Moffitt said, "Major projects which a CCUN chapter would under take would overlap with ex isting campus groups such as the YWCA or People-To-People." And the main project of the chapter, a campus Model UN, should be sponsored by a group such as the now de funct Nebraska University Council on World Affairs, (NUCWA) she added, as tt is at Nebraska Wesleyan. Buckley said that the ab sence of a CCUN chapter at the University would not Un it participation in the Miu west Model United Nations or crop production to Russia In exchange for machines, am munition and planes. All the industry is con trolled by Castro. When he overthrew the Batista gov ernment he seized every thing, including American property. The new American-owned Hilton Hotel has been re-named the Free Ho tel. The students laughed at the paradox inscribed on their visas "Long live the socialistic democracy of Cuba." Wednesday, February 71962 the CCUN regional confer ences. Slanted Material From a list of eight disad vantages in the Council's af filiation with the CCUN (through sponsorship of a lo cal chapter), Miss Moffitt said that information sent to local chapters by the CCUN to be used in study and de bate was sometimes "ques tionable and slanted." "In the information given on the admission of Red Chi na to the UN and the Katanga crisis, only one side was giv en," she said. . Council member Nancy Butler asked the committee if it knew of any informa tion on an issue today that is not "questionable." Buckley answered that the information that he had re ceived to lead discussion on the Berlin issue and the economic and political prob lems of the new nations in cluded a copy of an editorial from the New York Post and a set of recommendations of the American Association on the United Nations (AAUN), the adult component of the CCUN. Buckley, who was ap pointed state chairman of the CCUN last fall, also at tacked the group for lack of national coordination. "When I was appointed state chairman," he said, "I had no prior knowledge of the CCUN." "Too, CCUN's only field representative, Jed Johnson, claims that Nebraska Wes leyan is a member of CCUN, which college officials deny." The University is also listed (through the defunct NUCWA) as one of its 300 af filiates," added Buckely. The "political climate on the University campus" was also listed as a reason for not affiliating. Entire Campus Explaining, Buckley said, "The Student Council, as the student governing body, by its nature speaks for the campus as a whole. Since there is opinion against the CCUN as well as for it, the committee felt it advisable to let those interested students set up the local chapter of CCUN." Miss Nore said that lack of a minority report in recom mendations adopted at the national Inter-collegiate In stitute would give the Stu dent Council's approval to resolutions which it might have voted against "How can we as repre sentatives of the Student body condone stands of the CCUN with which we disa gree?" Nore questioned. "We are not trying to kill tho rr.ITM" Kairf Miss Mof fitt, "but only question how the Council could be respon sible for the stands and ac tions of the CCUN." "By majority vote, the CCUN can also support the stands of other organizations as the NSA, the International Student Movement for the UN, the AAUN, the Young Adult Council, and the World Youth Council, as it hs in the past," she added. $1.50 PERSON THUR., FEB. 8 UNION BALLROOM 7 & 9 P.M.
