Sonia Alvarez, Cardenas, Cuba, junior, said Friday she was certain that Cubans do not feel that Fidel Castro will become dictator of Cuba.
Cuban Student Tells of Castro's Rise to Power
Miss Alvarez related her views of the recent revolution at the Current Events Forum.
Miss Alvarez said that there was a feeling of repulsion in Cuba in 1952 when Batista moved to overthrow the government.
Other speakers were Robert D. Tomasack, assistant professor of political science, and Thomas M. Gale, instructor of history.
"There was a desire to do something against him. The people needed a leader, Castro didn't choose to be the leader. The people chose him. We liked Castro's plans better than anyone else's."
"The people recognized him as the best leader we have had. He is the only leader in Cuba today—the only one people take orders from," she said.
"No one who would do that would become a dictator. All his movements were democratic."
He was sacrificing himself for the ideals of his country when he went into the mountains, she said.
Miss Alvarez said she thought the American press pushed the issue of executions to get people to read newspapers.
"You have to have an example set for the future. Some of the people have to be executed to show what will happen to the others.
"The men who are being executed are army officers or policemen who killed six or more people.
"The U.S. was giving support to Batista until they realized he wouldn't win. The investors had a let to do with this." she said.
Mr. Gale said that "from the beginning there was probably a majority of Cubans who didn't like Batista. Castro became one of the most violent rebels."
Castro fled to Mexico and was jailed, he said. In 1956, he came back to Cuba and took station in the Oriente province, from where

"The most important things which go into a democracy are strong parties. It is too soon to judge anything. It will take about two years." Prof. Tomasek said.
Lowell Lee Andrews, former KU sophomore, was found sane by a commission of three psychiatrists Friday and will stand trial for the Nov. 28 slaying of his father, mother and sister.
Andrews Will Stand Trial
The psychiatrists said Andrews "comprehends his position and is capable of aiding in his own defense." The commission made its report to Wyandotte County District Judge William M. Benton.
Andrews was home for the Thanksgiving vacation at the time of the shooting. He admitted killing the three members of the family in their home near Bethel.
YOU ALL COME March 1st 2:30-5:00
The criminal docket will be read in court March 2. At that time Robert J. Foster, Wyandotte County attorney, and Harry Hayward, attorney for Andrews, will say whether they are ready to try the case.
End to a Sticky Problem
At the time of the shooting Andrews told officers that he shot to death his parents and sister as they watched television and then drove to Lawrence and attended a movie. He also threw a rifle and pistol into the Kaw River. The guns have not been found.
HUMBOLDT, Tenn. — (UPI) — The First Assembly of God church is that church that peanut brittle built.
He then drove back to the family home and called the sheriff's office. At first he said that a burglar probably shot the three persons, but later he admitted to the family minister that he had done the shooting.
The newly completed church was entirely built by funds raised through sale of peanut brittle made by members of the congregation.
Hungry Students Find New Pearson Oasis a Haven
The day is likely quite distant when man will be able to sustain himself on the products from vending machines alone. But a trend in that direction is evident in the dining hall of the new Joseph R. Pearson dormitory.
The battery of vending machines there-called the Pearson Oasis is intended to serve the round-the-clock needs of hungry and thirsty students. This service is a supplementary service only. No claim is made that a student can or should live solely on the products of a machine.
The Kansas Union prepares the sandwiches for the machines. No sandwich stays in its slot more than
But the Pearson Oasis provides a remarkable variety of products. One machine offers five different cups of coffee and one of hot chocolate. There are two candy and gum machines, each offering eight kinds of candy bars and three of chewing gum. There are the usual cigarette and coke machines plus an ice cream and milk vending machine.
Mr. Remick said the world-wide gross take from vending machines is two billion dollars annually. Industry leaders expect this figure to rise to six billion dollars eventually.
The real star of the line-up is a complicated device that offers twelve kinds of sandwiches, six of fruit and six varieties of pastry. This machine resembles a New York automat. Each offering is behind a little window. The customer can see what he is getting. He slips a coin into a slot, the window opens, he removes his article. Then when he closes the door, a new article pops into place from a concealed compartment.
The nine machines are covered by mahogany paneling under a canopy which gives the arrangement a-less-than-commercial appearance. The paneling covers each machine except for the display area and the operating slots.
Kevin Remick, concessions manager for the Kansas Union, said there is a great trend to the use of these machines as a supplementary food service—particularly in industrial plants. The machines perform their duties and save the cost of the labor that would be necessary if such a service were provided by a snack bar.
Rev. Turner to Speak At Baptist Church
The Rev. Dale R. Turner, of Kansas State University, sponsored by the Roger Williams Fellowship, will speak to Baptist students at luncheon meetings Wednesday and Thursday at the Kansas Union Cafeteria.
Rev. Turner will not speak at 5 p.m. today in the chapel of the Baptist church, as a story in The Kansan said Friday.
THE OASIS—Kevin Remick, Kansas Union concessions manager, inspects one of the mechanical wizards which dispense food and drink for the residents of J. R. Pearson dormitory.
The Union employs two full time service men and six part time student helpers to keep these machines and the 100 others on the campus full and in working order.
12 hours. Most of the other items are refrigerated and not so perishable.
There are, of course, many problems in vending machines. No one knows how many sales are lost because proper change is not available when someone wants something. And many people consider a machine fair game to be cheated if at all possible. Fortunately, the paneling at the Pearson Oasis prevents too much abuse.
If the machine is properly treated, it will produce its merchandise when it is paid. But it can't fight back when it is kicked.
