By BOB LYNE

(The author of this article Is a sophomore in the
of Education from Oak Grove. He and Ted Simmon, former UK student from Glasgow, spent a day
between semesters talking to Fidel Castro's rebels in
Havana. This Is Lyne's impression of Cuba today. THE
EDITOR)
Last week Ted Simmons and I. like many other UK
students, went to Fort Lauderdale after final exams.
Once there, we began considering whether to spend our
time on the beach or whether to do as much traveling as
possible. After reflecting that we probably wouldn't get
much sun in the Elbow Room anyway, we chose the
alternative of travel.
Five hours later we were on a plane en route to
hours after the flight to
Havana, Cuba. Twenty-thre- e
Col-le-

ge

Cuba we were aboard the same plane on our way back
to the States, flat broke. But Into those few hours were
crammed many experiences that won't be soon forgotten.
The first thing we noticed after arriving In Havana
was the large number of rebel soldiers on the streets, In
the restaurants, In the hotels and almost everywhere we
turned. They looked Just as shabby and forbidding as
the pictures we had seen.
We were badly In need of a guide and Interpreter. We
were fortunate to find a boy of 17 named Ralph who
had been in the provisional army of Havana and knew
Havana like the back of his hand.
Ralph was our eyes, ears and tongue throughout the
remainder of our short stay in Havana. He had a police
card which enabled us to enter Cavana Fortress, where
the largest body of Dr. Fidel Castro's forces are posted.

Most of the recent executions of war criminals hav
taken place In Cavana.
There had been war trials that morning, but they were
over when we arrived. In the fort prison were many
Batista sympathizers who had either been convicted
or were waiting trial for their crimes.
Ralph's pet name for the prison was "city of the

walking dead." Inside the prison with the prisoners were
two priests and several relatives of the prisoners, who
were walking and talking to their loved ones, possibly
for the last time.
The guards wouldn't permit us to go Inside the prison
gates to take pictures, but we mounted a flight of stairs
on a building adjoining the prison. Ted shot the picture
of the prison from the roof of the building.

although few could speak English. I then asked him how the
Cuban people felt toward Americans, and he had this to say:
"The people of America don't
like needless killing and neither do
we, but most of them don't know
what the real reasons for these
executions are. The men we have
executed are war criminals; they
have committed grave crimes. Batista and his ' men slaughtered
many Cubans year after year and
nothing was said or done to prevent it."
The lieutenant went on to say
that the reason so little was known
about what Batista did was because of lack of freedom of the

yvvms to be very few restrictions
on their uniforms.
The only thine universal about
the soldiers' uniforms was a red
band, bearing the name of Fidel
Castro and about six inches In
width, which was worn around
each soldier's arm. We even saw
one soldier wearing olive drab fatigues and a sailor's cap.
It seemed as thouph anyone who
could fire a gun and had enough
"KUts" could be a Castro rebel. Inside, the fort, we saw two young,
rather pretty girls wearing uniforms and carrying guns. A great
number of the rebels were very
young.
Quite a number of the rebels
drove late model American cars.
They had "acquired" many of these
cars from Batista's accomplices.
We saw a 1957 Oldsmobile loaded
with rebels; the front windshield
was almost completely blown away
by a line of bullet holes which
must have been caused by machine
gun fire.
I had an opportunity to talk to
a young lieutenant of Castro's
army. He had. lived in Chicago
for several years and said he had
a brother in theN United States
Army. I asked him if the Cuban
people really
looked upon the
rebels as heroes. That was probably the most foolish question I
have ever asked.
His reply to my question was
this: "When a group of men who
are outnumbered 10 to 1 stand up
against a tyrant without fear of
being killed for the cause of freedom, they are heroes."

How do the people of Cuba feel

toward Fidel Castro, the man immediately responsible for their
look upon this
freedom? They
great man almost as if he were
God. He was once their hope for
freedom; now he is their saviour.
Fidel pictures, Fidel banners. Fidel medals, Fidel caps are sold in
almost every shop and market and
by almost every peddler on the
streets of Havana. There are huge
signs every three of four blocks
with pictures of Castro and his
president saying "a clean revolution for a clean Cuba."
Many people in our country worry about how Castro stands in his
tolerance of Communism. After
this experience in Cuba, I feel sure
that Fidel Castro likes Communism
does Winston
no more than
Churchill or Dwight D. Eisenhower.
And the Cuban people would put
up with Communism as far as

Want to go on with this putrid

another? For instance, ask a typical
college professor why our standards
are slowly slipping. Chances are, if
he hasn't read this editorial, he'll
send you on a merry chase similar
to the one we just had. (Perhaps
minus a few of the colorful adjectives.)
Buck passers are a deceptive breed.
If you ask one a question, he'll give
you a beautiful answer. Only it won't

you ask him why he isn't doing his
job well, he'll promptly point to
all the other people who aren't doing
their jobs at all.
Buck passing is a delightful art, but
it's sapping the strength of the nation.
When someone tries to dump in your

f

lap the responsibility that rightfully
belongs to you, the natural urge is
to hand it to someone else. Let's
resist that urge. Let's not ask the
completely irrelevant question:

Fiscal Fallacy
MILLOTT

By DAN

During the past week many UK students have had to dig into their pockets
and pay off parking fines incurred during
the past semester.
Some may have wondered where this
money goes and, since I was also curious.
I asked Dean Martin about it.
All money for parking fines and
goes into a separate lund called
"traffic control." Dean Martin estimates
this at about $7,000 a year. Approximately $2,000 of this amount comes from
parking fines while the other $5,000 is
obtained from student parking permits.
This money is set aside for maintenance of parking facilities (student areas
only) and part of it is used to pay the
salaries of the campus police.
This information is indeed interesting
because it opens the way for a further
insight into some of the "fiscal fallacies"
of our campus.
In the first place, it is hard to visualie
how this estimated $7,000 a year is being
used for "the maintenance of parking
areas." True, a couple of old gentlemen
are paid to sit in those little booths that
have been conveniently placed at the
Rose and Scott Street lots, but this hardly
stems to warrant this amount of expenditure.
The only- purpose, these "watchmen"
seem to serve is to ascertain if an approaching vehicle is entitled to the use
of the lot or not. During cold weather
we rarely see these gentlemen save for the
twinkle of their eyes from the cover of
their dark green villas.
As far as actual physical ""maintenance"
of the three student lots, the amount in
the last three years has been negligible.
They are all still marked with the pro

"Shut up and sign my cards, fat
daddy, I'm about to help pay your

"What do you mean I can't get
into the English Department? I'm
the head of it!"
"My, my, I think I felt a hunger
pang. Sorry students, station's closed
-- come back tomorrow."
"Sorry . . . ; closed."
"Krushchev; what a small world-fan- cy
meeting you here!"
"No such courses? Great Scott, I
vas going to major in it!"
"Sorry ". . . station closed . . . We
have our quota of three."

Syr

to say to

verbial jMitholes which tend to lock a
vehicle oil its frame.
The $7,000 paid in bs students does
not go to any account o Student Congress csen though it is claimed that an
unpaid parking ticket is a debt "to stu-degosernment." Under thr pi ce nt
rules at UK it is impossible for a student
to register or graduate s ilhout - paying
these parking fines.
Consequently, there is a guarantee that
a constant flow of mom) will always be
coming in lor the "maintenance o( parking areas."
Another factor which enters into this
discussion is the salary ol Mis Kavts. the
student gos eminent secretary in Dean
nt

Martin's office.
Her salary is paid by Student Congress
itself. According lo the 1938 S9 budget
she received $2,640.00. This mounts to
over 2'J per cent of the total SC budget
of $9,066.83. Certainly a full time secretary for student government is a goxl
idea, but it appears that having her entire salary being paid from the budget of
SC is quite questionable, especially when
SC spent $1,040.83 more than its estimated income for this year.
It should be pointed out that Miss
Eaves' duty as far as SC i concerned is
the. notification of students for parking
siolations.
It would seem that the payment of her
salary would be more likelv to come liom
the traffic control division than it would
from the student body itcH (Student
Congress).
Certainly some changes could be made
in our present setup for student tialfic
money. As it stands now things don't
look as sound as they could be

Houghton said any cadet who felt he
had been coerced into buying a ticket
could return it and receive a refund.
The cadet's demerit would then be
placed back on his record, he said,
and could be appealed through nor
mal channels."
Doesn't that amount to ratifying

the demerit "buyolf" deal, and

en-

forcing its terms?
To the cadets who "fixed" demerit
slips by paying $3.50 each for tickets
to the Military Ball, isn't Col. Bough-tonow offering the same choice that
was offered them in the first place by
cadet officers? In each offender's case,
the choice was then and still is be

n

tween: I. being out $3.50, and 2. having a demerit on his record. As for
the right to appeal, he had that all
the time.
Why reprimand the cadet group
commander lor instigating the same
deal that the professor of air science
and tactics is now offering?
Why can't anyone return a ticket
and get a refund, prior to the event
for which the ticket is good, without
making a statement about coercion or
assigning any other reason for wanting his money back? By specifying
that the demerit must go back on the
record, Col. Bough ton apjears to be
giving his sanc tion to the theory that
cancelling the demerit was properly
one of the considerations.
