Latin American Bloc Wants Cuban Group
The Latin American bloc of the KU Mock United Nations feels that the Cuban delegation belongs in their camp and has taken steps to get them there.
An official petition addressed to "the Nation of Cuba, our beloved sister-state" and signed by all Latin American countries except the Dominican Republic, was delivered to Alan Latta, Wichita junior and chairman of the Cuban delegation, last night.
THE STEERING COMMITTEE for the Mock UN originally placed Cuba in the Communist bloc, but members of the Latin American bloc feel that a re-alignment should be made.
Albert Palmerlee, Lawrence senior and chairman for the Latin Americans, said last night.
"We feel that Cuba is rightly a part of the Latin American bloc. In order to be effective, the bloc needs to be complete by representing all Latin American countries."
Palmerlee said that the Cubans had replied that they will go where they can get the most support.
THE NEXT BLOC meetings are Thursday night. Cuba must make up its mind by then. Whatever bloc meeting it attends, Communist or Latin American, will determine which way it will go.
The steering committee has adopted the Cuban resolution as one of the three issues to be discussed at the Mock United Nations General Assembly meeting, April 14 and 15.
The text of the Latin American petition to Cuba reads as follows:
To the nation of Cuba, our beloved sister-state, from its neighbors and '10s in America.
It was indeed with confused emotions that we received the news of the withdrawal of Cuba from our Latin American hemisphere and the reintroduction of heritage, Cuba rightly and naturally is a part of the family of the Latin countries of the Western Hemisphere. It has been an important source from the loss of our sister-state. It is with due consideration and deliberation
that we have realized the Cuban people must also long to return to the closeness of Latin associations and no longer be a part of the world as an associated communist state.
In order to correct this fortunate misplacement of your delegation, for which you people in no way express your dislike and disappointment, incentive to return to the place we feel you must seek, we extend to you the heartiest invitations to leave the communist bloc and return to your nature at the next bloc meeting on March 30.
As a member of the Organization of American States, and having so long been a representative of Latin America on united Nations missions, you must be the same as ours, who longingly seek correction of the Steering Committee's error.
Newman Club Plans Meal
Large attendance at a spaghetti and meat ball supper sponsored by the Newman Club Sunday has prompted plans for a similar supper next month.
Some 185 are expected for the meal, which will help to raise money for a new Catholic student center.

MUCH OF THE great concern over American culture shown by the opposing camps is reflected in current books about our social and cultural structure, Said Lynes.
"We keep peering in the looking glass to see how we are doing, what makes us tick, where we are going, and where we have arrived."
Lynes concluded that it will not be for this society to judge the eventual form of our culture. He said this could be done only by a future society able to examine and evaluate the achievements of earlier times. He said:
"A culture is judged ultimately by its residue, by what it leaves behind, by what has the capacity to endure."
