'Will fivfrfwriizo
Against Castro
By SUE HOVIK
"A delegation of Cuban students in Lincoln are or
ganizing a local group of Directorio Estudiantil Revol
ucionario (Cuban Student Directorate)," said Tony Rod
riguez Tuesday night at a Spanish Club meeting.
He said the the group in Lincoln is not completely
organized, but hope to be shortly. At this time the public
will be notified of the existence of the group.
Rodriguez said that this organization is a student
organization throughout the United States and Latin
America. The main center is in Miami with other ma
jor groups in New York City and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Because of the student nature of the group, Rod
riguez said that one will find delgations in university
towns where Cuban students are attending school.
"The purpose of the Directorio Estudintil Revolu
cionario is to help propaganda for the anti-Castro move
ment and to help the movement of Cuban exiles plan
ning activities against Castro," he said.
Relatives in Cuba
Rodriguez declined to mention the names of the stu
dents involved because of relatives and families of many
of them still remaining in Cuba.
Rodriguez is a sophomore at the University with a
political science major. He explained that he left Ha
vana because the education he was getting was more
and more partial to the Communists.
He said that he attended a religious school where
he was editor of the paper. He added that the school
was one of the renters of revolt againsf Castro after
the Communist influence became apparent
George Carbaelleira, a sophomore in electrical engi
neering from Havana, was another member of the panel
of four Cubans. He said that his parents wanted him
to come to the United States because he was in danger
in Cuba because of his age and ideals.
"We left Cuba because there was no future and
nothing to do after high school because I didn't want
to attend the University of Havana," said Mike Es
trada, sophomore in mechanical engineering from Ha
vana. Wants Freedom
Also the Communist situation got worse for Cuban
youth and I wanted freedom, added the third panel
member.
Ramon Sanchez, the fourth panel member and a
sophomore in mechanical engineering, said that he left
Cuba because of the spy system set up and it was im
possible to talk and there was no freedom. "I didn't
want to live there," he said.
Rodriguez believed that the role f the Cuban stu
dent in the United States is to get an education that
can't be gotten in Cuba. This will enable him to play a
crucial part in the democratic system we want in Cuba
when we return.
Another role of the student exile is to join with all
Cubans and go to fight with aims to get Cuba back.
When asked if the propaganda methods Russia uses
in Cuba as reported in the United States are exaggerat
ed, Rodriguez said that he had never seen any exaggera
tion about the Cuba situation in the American press.
Don't Want War
Sanchez said that he doesn't think the United States
should go to overtake Cuba if it means war. "Now that
Khrushchev has taken out bases there is no reason for
Americans to do it," he said. "It is not your problem,
it is. ours. We would be happy to have help, but we
don't want to go to war for it
"Although Russia takes out the bases in Cuba, the
Communists still have the biggest weapon there which
is having Cuba as the center of propaganda for all
Latin America countries," continued Sanches.
On the same subject, Rodriguez added that by tak
ing out tbe bases, it is taking out the offensive weapons,
but they still have tbe power to crash any revolt in
Cuba.
He stressed that Cuban exiles do not have tbe right
to ask for help from a strange power, but will be happy
to receive it Rodriguez said that Cubans did have the
right to ask for moral support.
"Right now many Cubans are fighting to overtake
Castro and will never stop, not until all die or Castro is
out," he said.
Through the Years
Homecomings Start
Cornhusker Traditions
By SUSAN SMITHBERGER
Xebraskan Staff Writer
Tired of stuffing napkins
and crepe paper into Home
coming displays?
Think twice before com
plaining and consider the co
eds in 1942 who gathered
scrap iron and deposited it
on their lawns.
"The campus looks like a
junk yard," said a '42 Daily
Nebraskan reporter.
The drive was sponsored by
Innocents and the A'ar Coun
cil and prizes were presented
to the houses with the most
original arrangement of the
'scrap."
Pledges crept silently by
night to gather scrap from
everywhere and then jealous
ly guarded it to avoid theft
by other houses. A printing
press wa6 the Alpha Chi's
pride and joy while the Kap
pas sported two toy fire
trucks atop their pile.
Grant Memorial Hall, tbe
Women's Physical Education
building, was used for the
Homecoming dance in 1915.
When playing the Kansas
Jayhawks in 1921 the Corn
huskers carried a cardboard
Jayhawk onto the field,
sliced him in two witn an
axe, put him in a coffin and
toted Jiim off the notes of the
"Funeral March."
Before 1923 there were no
Homecoming displays and
therefore no late-at-night ham
mering and stuffing. In that
year the tradition was in
itiated and the Memorial Stad
ium was dedicated.
Saturday
Nov. 3 9 to 1
at Pershing
Auditorium
The University received na-jtion-wide
news coverage in
i 1930 for its enormous bos
I fire. The fire was 40 feet
across and 50 feet high. Busi
j ness firms contributed 50 gal
lons of crude oil to keep the
j fire burning.
I There were no homecoming
queens in 1937 and 1938.
! In 1939 the Nebraska pep
; song was written and used for
; the first time.
Pep and enthusiasm re-
turned to the campus in 1945
j after a lull caused by World
j War II. Spontaneous between
; class rallies broke out in sev
jeral buildings, the card sec
tion was revived, a tug-of-war
j sponsored, a parade held.
In 1952 sororities and fra
ternities donated money al
loted for Homecoming to the
polio fund.
Parades were held every
i year until law) wnen there
was not enough interest in the
event to continue it.
Every year has added to
the Homecoming tradition . . .
every year has included a
welcome for all SV alums,
who, because of their past
University associations, have
added to tbe traditional spirit
of Homecoming.
Homecoming, NU-style . . .
a weekend of festive activ
ities which instills within
each participant that pride
in being a Cornhusker.
And, as tradition has it, in
every campus area will ring
the familiar chant "Go Eig
Red!"
