By M IKK FEARING
Thursday Associate Editor

Two years ago Premier Fidel Castro began
to strangle foreign exchange on American dollars within Cuba. Today the full impact of this
maneuver is realized in financial aid to Cuban
students studying in American schools.
Oalaor Carbontll, Havana. Cuba, a graduate art
student, said his parents have been unable

Carbonrll explained that in the summer
Castro lowered the amount of the Amerlran

tion that $100 rould be sent only to student. Recently the flow of capital was completely cut off.
The piemier began his strangle hold with control
of the exchange of the Cuban peso for the American
dollar. What little American money the Cubans do
have they are holding on to for security.
"I've been starving," Carbonell Jokingly said explaining what he does for money. "I've been lucky
enough to sell paintings and then go on from there."
The art student said he has looked for a job
but "there are no jobs in this town." He explained
that he has a part time job in the art department
that pays 50 rents an hour and the university is

Lumumba's Death Stirs World

X fan

ELIZABETHVILLE, Katanga, Feb. 13 (AP) The
Katanga government today announced the death
of Patrice Lumumba and defied the United Nations
or anyone else to do anything about it.
The office of President Moise Tshombe, arch-fo- e
lies in an
of Lumumba, said the deposed
unknown grave and the village tribesmen who slew
him are getting $8,000 as a reward for capture of
criminals.
The announcement stirred a new threat of civil
war in the Congo, where illiterate millions may regard Lumumba as a martyr. It added another problem to the seemingly desperate role of the United
Nations in efforts to bring peace to this
country.

Washington Is Shocked

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (AP) Official Washington reacted with shock and dismay today to the
death of Patrice Lumumba.
An immediate fear was that the Kremlin would
seize on the event to mount a new effort to bring
the strategic Congo under Communist sway.
Through Ambassador Adlal E. Stevenson at the
United Nations, the United States renewed its push
for U.N. handling of the Congo problem as the best
way to avert meddling by outside powers.
President Kennedy "expressed great shock" when
he heard the news of the death of the Congo leader,
White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger reported.
Stevenson termed the news "distressing and deplorable" and gave U.S. support to U.N. Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold's call for a full and
impartial inquiry Into the circumstances of Lumumba's death.

Soviets Bound For Venus
Feb. 13 (AP) A Soviet space station
bound for Venus may pierce that planet's perpetual
cloud cover and reveal some of her secrets, scientists
said today. One aim of the spectacular space probe
is to shed light on whether there is life on that
neighbor of earth.
A rendezvous with Venus about 26 million miles
out in space sometime between May 15 and 31 was
predicted by Prof. Arl Sternfeld, a top Soviet space
scientist.
(The U.S. Naval Observatory, however, said Venus
would be 42.9 million miles away on May 20.)
The big question, Sternfeld added, is whether the
space station's radio can send back over the vast
reaches of space the data so eagerly awaited by
scientists.
d

it a great triumph of Soviet engineering.
Oleg Melnikov, physicist at Leningrad Observatory, said it is likely the station will pass through the
thick clouds that blanket Venus and obtain first hand
evidence of the planet's atmosphere.
This might show whether Venus, often called
the earth's twin, could sustain life. Most scientists
believe Venus is too hot to sustain life because it
is about a third closer to the sun than is the earth.
In various interviews, Soviet scientists said the
space vehicle should provide more exact measurements of the solar system, and furnish answers for
problems of man's flight into space.

"Then came marriage by pur- and later marriages arranged

Many of the prevailing concepts
of marriage today are really those
of our parents and grandparents
the Nineteenth Century marriage
where the family was largely
rural, the father was the provider
and patriarch, and the wife had
the subordinate role and endless,
menial domestic duties."
Such a concept doesn't Tit mod- rn urban life where a wife has
new independence and possibly a
job. and a husband is expected to

The resultant turmoil. Dr. Mayer
says, nas in many cases reverseo
roles. The wife becomes masculine
and domineering and the husband
feminine and submissive.

"Marriage based on the already
outmoded beliefs in masculine
domination, conjugal rights, and
wifely duties, will disappear," Dr.
Mayer believes "and in its place,
love and dignity of each partner
be reestablished as the basis
marriage.
"Companionship will be the key- note. Husbands and wives will be
able to clearly reaffirm the real

frustrated by incongruous tradi- tions."
Among the factors which Dr.
Mayer says will help bring; this
about are:

emotional maturity,
Less domestic drudgery. Oreater

on the east side of Rose Street has
created what now amounts to a major problem for pedestrian traffic.

An area that had almost no University population 10 years ago now
boasts nine sororities, 10 fraternities,
the two largest men's dormitories, a
large married student housing development, and the Medical Center,
which, when in full operation, will
accommodate several thousand medical staff members and students.

Out of this startling building spurt
have come countless invitations to
accidents involving pedestrians and
motor vehicles and perhaps even traffic deaths.
Fedestrian movement across Rose
Street from the men's residence units
and Cooperstown is facilitated to a
degree by the Washington Avenue
traffic light; the Medical Center is
not yet in full operation and its traffic problem is not yet so pressing, but
the situation near Sorority Row is
becoming increasingly hazardous.
There is a traffic signal at the
corner of Columbia Avenue and Rose
Street but with the construction of
the new science building shutting off
one sidewalk entering the center of
the campus, Sorority Row residents
find it expeditious to take their
chances with the traffic and cross
between the Chi Omega house and
Fine Arts Building.

The practice of crossing at the
Chi Omega house is one fraught
with danger in the early morning
hours as streams of autos pour down
Rose Street to the downtown area.
In addition to endangering their lives
and limbs in attempting to cross there,
pedestrians violate Lexington ordinances forbidding jaywalking; yet the
temptation to cross at the Chi Omega
house is great because it is the shortest route to one of two remaining entrances to the northeastern corner
of the campus.
No immediate solution to this
traffic problem is even in sight.
Howard Gabbard, associate city traffic engineer, recently told the Kernel
that a crosswalk or traffic light at the
location is completely out of the
question because of problems of traffic flow. Mr. Gabbard's only suggestion was a "blister" type underpass
like that planned at Harrison and
Euclid Avenues. Such an underpass
would cost approximately 100 thous- and dollars and it would be several
years before such funds could be
made available.
In light of the need for some
method of easing pedestrian movement across Rose Street, we urge the
University and the city to launch an
immediate study of the situation.
And in the meantime, a crosswalk
or blinker light warning would prove
invaluable. The possibility of serious
injury or even death should outweigh the consideration of traffic
flow.

Word Shifting

To The Editor:

Thankyou for printing Don

Gal-

loway's excellent article on the First
Addition to the King Library in your
issue of Feb. 9. A slight shifting
of words might leave the impression
that our library will be the largest
and best in the country next to
Texas and Ohio State. Actually it will
be the largest and the best university
library between Ohio State and Texas.

because he started sliding as we met
in the curve in front of A Building.
For some unknown reason no damage, was done to either car.
I thought some relief was in sight
Saturday noon. M&O was driving up
the street with a truck load of sand
and I took for granted they would
put the sand on the street. They
didn't. Instead it was spread on the
sidewalks. Now, I'm not the most

To The Editor:
When the campus was covered
with an overabundance of snow last
year, most of it falling within a
period, I remember the praise
heaped on M&O for getting the
streets and sidewalks cleaned in a
hurry. They deserved the praise then
because they did do an excellent
job. Where were they two weeks ago?
As a result of the recent snow
and sleet the streets in Shawneetown
were left a glare of ice. As a result
there were four cars which failed to
make the first curve and ended up
in the ditch. Another car coming off
one of the side streets couldn't stop
and ran over the curb and into the
ditch running parallel to the main
street. A student sideswiped my car

agile person in the world but I can
control ISO pounds a lot better than
two or three thousand pounds of
moving metal.
What good did the sand do? For
one thing, I won't have to buy sand
to put in my son's sandbox, I'll already have an apartment full.

Managers say no conclusions have

The operation began last February
with installations in 1,000 homes in
Etobicoke, a Toronto suburb. The
aim at that time was to have the

These goals were discarded after
initial studies indicated alterations
