Castro’s Hope, Strength: Students
FIDEL CASTRO
Cuban Leader Speaks
By BYRON SCOTT Hurricane Editor
In Cuba, the revolution is still on.
The conflict which reached its outward culmination some 14 months ago still rages within the island republic. It flames in the heart of its leaders and most important—in the minds of Cuba's teenagers and young adults.
The Cubans that three Hur-i «cane staffers traveled to meet recently were, and still are. the hub and soul of “the Caribbean’s first democratic revolution."
For the Cuban college stu-
dent. the shoeshine hoy. the youth on the street or in the classroom, the revolution is still in full swing. All look upward, for up at the top is one of them, a ‘‘com pad re" who. just like them, was a \mithftil malcontent — Fidel Castro.
To the Cuban youth, the man who led them in their battle against the Batista regime is simply “Fidel." They follow him with none of the distrust accorded to former, older rulers.
Young Cuba sees itself as not only the hope of the future, but the vitality of the present.
Castro himself sees this and
agrees As a result, the most powerful group on the island seems to be, not the Communists or the capitalists or the campesinos. but the Cuban under 30. His story is a fascinating and perhaps historic one.
It will be necessar> then to present a picture of them in three parts, presenting: the students themselves, the questions they ask Americans and the answers they give to American question.
Outwardly, a Cuban student is as “typical" as any at the University of Miami, but inwardly he differs significantly. A few examples follow

Student Proctors
Are A ‘Success’
By JAY WELCOM
The proctoring system initiated by the Undergraduate Association in the School of Business Administration and the College of Arts and Sciences has met with considerable approval among the faculty and students.
Designed to cut down on cheating during the recent finals, the proctors were assigned to testing rooms for the purpose of bolstering the honor system.
Dean Grover A J Noetzel of the School of Buiness Administration, who pointed out the ineffectiveness of past measures, praised the experiment saying. "Judging from preliminary reports, I can safely say that proctoring has been a success."
Echoing Dean Noetzel’s optimism was Carl Selle. Arts and Sciences English professor "The student sent to me was a great
1 help. The system shall have my support in the future," he said.
The general reaction of both students and faculty was favorable.
“Proctoring was successful in that it did not afford the dishonest student the opportunity to cheat," commented Undergraduate Council Chairman Jim Blosser.
“We are most pleased with the project." Blosser continued, “since cheating can do little to add to the University’s prestige and tradition. Proctors help immensely in weeding out the ‘rotten apples’."
The consensus is that June’s finals w ill find an increase in the number of instructors requesting student proctors.
The proctors for this semester w e r e chosen principally from campus honorarios and volunteer “B" students.

Dinked Freshmen Now Must Recite FA Poem

Conscious during the* whole time and praying “God. help him to help me," Lucy DuBois successfully completed her dangerous New York operation late last month
“The night before I was operated on they told me that I didn’t have Parkinson’s disease after all but a disease called Dystonia which hits nerves and muscles." she said at her Coral Gables home where she is recovering.
"My dink says I’m new here, This tradition has great fame; It’s an emblem I am proud to wear;
“Blank, Blank’ is my name.’* This poem must now be recited by any incoming freshman upon request of an upperclassman.
“A NEW TRADITION for UM frosh." is the way Jerry Levy, Student Court chancellor, described the practice.
This .semester’s freshman class is the first one being subjected to the poem memoi ization as a part of orientation. Details for the plan were worked out last semester and the final plan was approved by Jim Blosser, Undergraduate Association president, as a supplement to the already established dink tradition.
“The main reason for the poem." explained Levy," is to more firmly establish the dink tradition and to promote firmer interclass relationships at UM “My belief is that in order for an individual to succeed in his orientation as a college student he must necessarily succeed in his initiation." he said.
"The dink tradition and now the poem are freshman forms of initiation on the UM campus."
"Since the poem reciting has only been in effect this semester, no one can determine the success of it hut I hope the tradition will he carried on in years following," added the poem originator.
ONE FRESHMAN found the poem burden added to the other problems of starting college just too much When' asked to recite the poem, he replied,
My dink says I’m new here I am in such a great hurry,
I can’t remember my name." Upperclassmen, however may not run poetically rampant
"Anyone abusing the privilege." warned Levy, “will be severlv reprimanded by the Student Court."
Lucy must return for another operation Aug. 9, but the Hispanic American Studies major has been told by doctors that the second operation isn’t as dangerous as the first.
“I hope to return to school in September.
“Besides," she added, “I will he the only girl who can legitimately have a crew hair cut. And if that’s the only sacrifice I have to make . . .
“I had the measles when I was 8 years old and I had a very high

fever. The doctors now believe this is when I contracted the disease."
Lucy smiled as she described her thoughts after coming out of the recovery room, “I guess lie didn't want me up there."
After the operation she had to learn to walk and talk all over again but “after the second operation I will he 100 per cent totally and completely recovered."
Any freshman who cannot recite the poem correctly must give his name to the upperclassman, who will report him to the Student Court.
Just Fancy That . . .
There has been a change in the Division of Research and Industry.
The offices have been moved to the McArthur Engineering Building. Room 208B Telephone number will remain the same.
