Wednesday evening. Speaking at the Center for Advanced International Studies on “Cuba and Problems of Socialist Development," Jorge said that the past commitments of Castro's regime to the development of a single main commodity is one source of Cuba's economic problems. The author of several books, including Competition. Cooperation, efficiency, and Social Organization, Jorge said that this single commodity system had been adopted five times in the last 20 years. It has failed each time, bringing ill effects on the Cuban economy Jorge pointed out that "at the beginning of the seventies. Cuba's main export item was sugar Then an unexpected turn on the market sent the price of sugar downward which devastated the economy " Another problem with Cuba was that "the characteristic of the Cuban officials after the revolution was that of impatience."Jorge said "The Cuban government is hierarchical. stratified and an oligarchy that leaves out the masses." he said After the Cuban Revolution. Castro wanted to increase economic development and tried lo convert the economy to aid his new program of social and political goals Unfortunately, when the economy becomes a tool to obtain social and political goals, the economy becomes a secondary matter of concern. A change from moral to material incentives are being initiated to raise the productivity on the island The problem is,"Cuba has a 2.5 billion dollar deficit yearly that the Soviet Union incurs." said Jorge That being the case then, how can Cuba afford to reward production in such a costly manner, especially at a time when the Soviets are insisting on a betier degree of economic stability in Cuba’ In response. Professor Jorge suggested that employing material incentives as a means to increase pro-dutivity would probably be a temporary experiment in Cuba Today Cuba experiences less that 21) percent the rate of growth of all other latin countries "The Soviet Union absorbs 50 percent of the Cuban sugar export at three times the world market price." Jorge said "The literacy rate has only experienced a reduction of 13 percent since 1959. while at the same time the life expectancy rate in Cuba has only had a modest increase " vive. Hammond said "The fact is that even with the Civil Rights Act and integration, there still is a need for more blacks in the job market — not just in the job market, but in managerial positions," he said Hammond pointed out that the population of blacks in the United States is 13 jvercent — yet only three percent of the doctors, lawyers and managerial positions are filled by blacks. "There should be more role models for young blacks in order to show the upcoming blacks that there are jxissibilities and avenues open for them to advance in. "It is imjvortant that we put more blacks in those positions," he said Such display of unity is important in order to signal to the nation "that blacks played a very imjvortant role in the building of America to the strong nation that it is today," Hammond said It is equally imjvortant to blacks themselves because it will show them that we have "been denied access to our heritage. "We felt that as UBS it's our responsibility to give the student body and the community, which we've invited to many of thvse events, an idea and a display in the continuation of our heritage."
