THE MICHIGAN DAILY ITT 'U AFIJP A . Cuban Debate Reaches Heated Climax P.M. Monday through Friday, and Saturday 9:30 'Lii 11:30 AM. By GORGE LEVIN The panel discussion of "The Impact of Events in Cuba on South America" at the Newman Club Sunday' night began as a report by four international students from Venezuela, Panama, Mexi- co and Columbia and ended in a vigorous debate between the pro- Castro and anti-Castro elements present. The panel, moderated by Prof. Edward Stasheff of the speech de- partment, consisted of Senen Semidey, '62E, of LaGuire, Vene- zuela, Mrs. Priscilla Perkins, Grad., of Panama City, Carlos Garrocho - Sandovar, Grad, of Mexico City, and Alberta Leon Gard of Bogota, Colombia. IFC Names Ullrich Head, Of Committee John Ullrich, '62E, has been named chairman of the Interfra- ternity Council fraternity services committee, IP President Jon Trost, '61, announced. Ullrich, a member of Phi Kap- pa Psi, will fill the vacancy cre- ated by the resignation of. Rich- ard Nohl, '62, to run for Student Government Council., Under the "ground rules" of the discussion, each panelist first gave a factual report of his country's and government's opinion of the Castro movement. Venezuela Indifferent Venezuela's government, which is a constitutional 'democracy, is indifferent to the Cuban move- ment, Semidey said, but the peo- ple have a pro-Castro attitude. They are in favor of nationalizing industry because "big business is hoarding money because business can't get the same profit" it did under the past dictatorship. Mrs. Perkins said that the Pan- amanian people originally were "sympathetic" towards Castro and the Cuban movement, but because of recent developments, their at- titude has reversed. The govern- ment shares this sentiment. Mexico Sympathetic Mexico, because of a similarity between its own revolution and "Cuba's,naturally is sympathetic towards Cuba and the Cuban movement, Garrocho - Sandovar said. However, this is in regard to the ideals of the revolution and does not have anything to do with Fidel Castro as a person. Leon was very emphatic in say- ing that Colombia is anti-Castro. Originally there was sympathy for the movement as a needed social revolution, but this position has been changed because of some "tremendous mistakes." "Cruelty and retaliation" are now the main part of the revolution, Leon said. Following the reports, Prof. Stasheff opened the floor to com- ment from the audience. He de- scribed the discussion as being almost evenly divided between the two factions and heated and emo- tional at times. Listener Challenges The first commentator chal- lenged Garrocho-Sandova'r's state- ment that Mexico has a majority of pro-Cuban sentiment. He said that the majority of businessmen and people in Mexico City were anti-Castro. In the audience there were three who had recently been in Cuba. Two were anti-Castro. One man, a refugee from Cuba, said the "peasants used to make a $1.50 a day, but now they only make $.50 a day in cash and the rest in 'paper.'",This paper must be redeemed in a "people's store" as was done with the company's store 20 or 30 years ago. Cuban Complains A student who left Cuba only three months ago complained that his family "can hardly get any- thing to eat." He also said that NSA To Sponsor Travel Meeting The National Student Associa- tion is holding a coffee hour for those interested in touring Eu- rope at 4:15 p.m. Thursday at the Michigan League. National representatives will give an informal talk, former trav- elers will relate their experiences and refreshments will be served. Among the trips to be planned are a graduate study tour, a tour featuring music and art festivals and an economy tour. having 95 per cent of Cuba's trade with the Communist world is not good. This is too much, he said. An American who visited Cuba answered these statements by saying that the workers had in the past seasonal employment and high mortality rates, but now food production has increased and employment is stabilized. He ex- plained the "people's store" sys- tem. The stores buy the goods and for a 10 per cent mark-up sell them to the workers. Peasants thus get the equivalent of $2.60 a day. Semidey, who visited Cuba for one month, said, "I do believe the standard of living has gone up." He added that he saw no such "paper" in Havana. A lady who had a Cuban fam- ily living at her home reported that they claimed the educated people were being persecuted in Cuba. These people are fighting to get out of the country, she said.
