9 Students to See Castro's Cuba
Tuesday, Dec. 13, 1960
Nine KU students will get a first hand view of the Cuban situation during 10 days of their Christmas vacation.
The KU students will be part of an expected 200 students taking the tour sponsored by the "Fair Play for Cuba Committee," a national organization.
"My purpose in going, and getting others to go is to try to find out what the real situation is in Cuba, so we will have our own basis for judgment," said Paul J. Powlby, Long Beach, Calif., graduate student.
BOWLBY SAID he agreed with the founders of the Fair Play for Cuba committee, some of whose members are C. Wright Mills, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, that the American press has not accurately reported events in Cuba since the revolution.
"It SHOULD BE CLEAR that the United States government does not sponsor nor endorse that committee nor its Cuban tours," the State Department said last week.
Two of the boys who had planned to take the trip with the group will not go because of the State Department warning against American students taking tours in Cuba.
"Yet it seems clear that the Cuban government wants American students to come, by the fact that the government is providing reduced hotel rates for the members of the tour," said Bowlby.
The cost of the 10-day tour, which includes transportation, meals and lodging for the 10 days beginning Dec. 23, is $100. The group has reservations at the government-operated hotel in Havana.
Side trips to Pinar Del Rio and the Oriente Province will be planned along with interviews and talks with Cuban government officials.

De Gaulle Faces Riots in Algeria
ALGIERS — (UPI) — Rioting broke out anew today in Oran despite warnings that President Charles de Gaulle was determined to "smash" riot leaders who turned his peace mission into a near-insecution.
Two thousand European youths tried to invade the Arab quarter in the port of Oran in the fifth consecutive day of Algerian rioting. They were driven back by police armed with tear gas and noise grenades and aided by cooler heads among older settlers. Algiers, scene of earlier rioting, was calm.
The Oran youths had heard an erroneous report that Moslems in the Casbah there had formed a "commando" brigade with the intention of raiding the European part of the city.
De Gaulle, reported livid with rage at the battling between right-wing French settlers and Moslem nationalists that has killed scores and wounded 2,000 others, was returning to Paris today. Paris reports said he would order drastic punishment of the ringleaders.
