Attacks Foreign Policy
By Charles Simpson
Louisville's incumbent Congressman, M. G. "Gene" Sny-der,
brought his drive for re-election to the UL campus
Wednesday with a speech in Bigelow Hall sponsored by the
Canterbury Club.

Local Socialist Lauds Cuba
As 'Land Of True Freedom'
By Charles Evans
The views expressed in this article
are not necessarily those held by The
Cardinal or the interviewer.
Edward H. Clark, a local participant in last summer's controve1·­sial
t'rip to Cuba, gave The Cardinal an exclusive interview. Clark is
an ex-UL political science student. Certain information and comments
received in this interview have never before been published in an Ame?·i­can
newspaper or magazine.
On June 9 and 10, 1964, 75
American students flew in groups
consisting of from one to 20
people to Paris, France. From
Paris they flew to Prague, Czech­oslovakia,
and from there to Ha­vana,
Cuba via Shannon and
Gander.
"A total of approximately 9,000
miles for a trip which would
normally be 80 miles from the
coast of Florida" is how Clark
characterizes his journey of last
summer.
He indicated that "this round­about
.way was necessary to evade
the American travel quarantine of
Cuba.."
Clark said that this was not the
only problem encountered before
going to Cuba, as the "biggest
difficulty was harassment by the
US Government. It was necessary
to fill out approximately 1,000 ap­plications,
including lengthy in­terviews
for each application."
"The mail service was trouble­some
in getting the applications
filled since much of the mail in­volved
was delayed, opened, and
some never delivered. Some of
the students were bothered with
constant surveillance by the FBI".
The reasons for taking part in
the trip to Cuba varied among
the participants, who ranged from
five to 39 years old. According to
Clark, "Most of these who went
to Cuba went out of common cur­iosity,
but those involved with
Progressive Labor, a new Ameri­can
Socialist party, went to fight
the government ban on trips to
Cuba and to express their sup­port
for the Cuban revolutionary
government.
"The main reason I went," ad­ded
Clark, "was to learn more
about the kind of society I am
fighting for in this country."

Bids Accepted
By 135 Men
By Craig Nolan
The close of the 1964 Formal
Fall Rush for fraternities at the
University of Louisville came
Wednesday when 135 men signed
bids in the Office of the Dean of
Students to become pledges of the
eight national and two local frat­ernities
on campus.
Tau Kappa Epsilon has the
largest pledge class with 29 pledg­es.
For the most part, actives
and rushees used party time to
get acquainted, but Rush Week
included such social functions as
a hootenanny, play-money gambl­ing
party, beauty contest, and
hillbilly party.
The week concluded with pre­ferential
dinners given by all frat­ernities.
Open rush will now extend
throughout the semester. Under
this plan, rushees are invited to
fraternity functions until they
either pledge or drop out of rush.
The following men were pledged
to the University of Louisville
fraternities:

FOUR PAINT BUCKETS have been supplied by the maintenance
staff in order to collect the dripping water. (Picture above.) A janitor
informed a Cardinal staff member that the buckets have been used for
such a purpose during his entire three year tenure here.
In his prepared text, Snyder
responded to charges in last
week's Cardinal column, "Why
Not Liberalism?", that he was a
do nothing candidate, by listing
bills he had sponsored in the con­gress.
These bills concerned free en­terprise,
"Buy American" aspects
to foreign aid, a balanced budget,
assistance to teachers, and fiscal
responsibility.
He said that much of this leg­islation
came about through the
close touch he tries to maintain
with his constituents, through
questionaires, newsletters. news­paper
columns, and "close atten­tion
to mail".
In the question and answer
period, the Third District Con­gressman
explained that he voted
against the Civil Rights Bill be­cause
of his belief in the uncon-
