HAVANA—A revolutionary firing squad early today executed three Cubans barely an hour after they had been court-martialized as "terrorists." One was convicted of trying to assassinate Premier Fidel Castro.
having a stop day since I have no tests on Monday anyhow. I didn't benefit a whole lot from the one last year anyhow."
They were shot against the floodlighted wall of the Cabana fortress-prison, where hundreds of "war criminals" died during Castro's first year in power.
Meanwhile, the U. S. stiffened travel regulations, banning all Americans except newsmen and businessmen with established connections from going to Cuba. Restrictions like those on travel to Red China and other communist countries were imposed.
Cuban Officials Execute Three
Although no one is certain exactly how many persons the Castro regime has executed, the deaths of the three "terrorists" are believed to have increased the total to more than 630. The total includes three Americans killed as "invaders" late last year.
Today's executions were the first announced officially this year. Official sources have denied reports that there have been a number of secret executions at La Cabana and in the Escambray Mountains, where Castro troops are battling anti-government guerrillas.
The action put Cuba in a category similar to that of Red China, North Korea, North Vietnam and Albania, all communist countries, where travel by Americans is banned without special permission.
Stan Smith, Sterling, sophomore, said, "I think not having it is lousy, it is a good idea, it kind of relieves the pressure. You might call stop day the lull before the storm."
Controversy arose over stop day in the spring semester of last year. ASC proposed that there be a stop day between classes and examinations.
Students Dislike Considering Sunday As a 'Stop Day'
Chancellor Murphy backed the measure as did the faculty. The only question was whether to take the day from classes or from summer vacation.
Five out of six students interviewed by the Kansan today were chagrined about there not being any stop day this semester. They favored stop days generally and did not like considering Sunday as a stop day substitute.
THOMAS N. TURNER, Montgomery, Ala., junior, is the city editor and responsible for the assignment of student reporting duties. William G. Sheldon, Hinsdale, Ill., freshman, moves up from assistant sports editor to sports editor. Betty Sue Thieman, Tulsa, Okla., junior, is in charge of society news.
Felger, Morgan, Donna J. Engle, St.
Louis, Mo., and Ralph E. Wilson,
Overland Park, both seniors, will
alternate weekly as the fourth
assistant.
F. Mike Harris, Chanute, is the advertising manager; Tom L. Brown, Lawrence senior, is circulation manager; Richard Horn, Kansas City, Mo., is classified advertising manager; William Goodwin, Independence, is promotion manager, and Marlin Zimmerman, Lawrence, is national advertising manager. All are seniors.
Jon Shaffer, Iola, junior, said:
"Sunday is not much of a stop day.
Why should it even be considered one since we would get it off anyway?"
Sam Clester, Bell Plain, sophomore, said, "I really don't mind not
James K. Hitt, registrar and chairman of the Calendar Committee, said the Sunday after classes end and before final examinations start will give students time to study.
THE SELECTION of these executives was made upon application to and approval of the Kansan Board, the governing body of the student newspaper.
The Daily Kansan serves as the official student newspaper of the University and also provides practical training for journalism students. Students of any school may hold positions or contribute material. Applications for reportorial, feature writing, business or subsidiary positions for the spring semester may be submitted at the Kansan newsroom for consideration.
