Delegates attend festival in Cuba During their stay, students were able to learn about worldwide political oppression By Michael Burnham Community Reporter Recent University of Oregon graduate Holly Rudclitsch and eight other students and alumni from the University traveled to Cuba this summer to learn more about political issues affecting other nations around the globe. They came back having learned just as much about the United States. Rudclitsch and the other dele gates, members of the Committee in Solidarity with the Central American People (CISCAP), trav eled to Cuba to take part in the 14th World Festival of Youth and Students, where they listened to other Americans and people from 133 countries exchange ideas and speak out against vari ous international political op pressions. According to Scott Mikisch, CISCAP’s coordinator, the pro gram is a grassroots organization based in Eugene since 1981, whose mission is to change U.S. foreign policy toward Central American countries through edu cational programs. The CISCAP delegates attend ed the conference in an effort to understand how Cubans perceive Americans, but they also had the unique experience of seeing that perception first-hand on a differ ent level. Some of the University stu dents walked with other Ameri cans in the festival’s opening march, where there was a lot of demonstration against America, Rudclitsch said. “At the march, I felt there was a lot of fragmentation [among the Americans],” she said. “I felt very strange and kind of isolated from these people that are from the same nation that I’m from.” She said some Americans chose to march in protest of the U.S. way of government, but many others did not. “[The American delegates] didn’t make it a point to find a common ground with one anoth er,” she added. Similar complaints against the United States were voiced at a fo rum that some of the delegates also attended. University student Aric Bright said the United States was charged with unjust imperialistic practices by many other coun tries in addition to Cuba. The fo rum brought together more than 800 representatives from the United States, as well as people from former Communist coun tries such as East Germany and Kazakhstan, Bright said. The trip proved to be timely because of recent discussion in Congress over a bill that would give humanitarian aid to Cuba. The bill, titled the Cuban Hu manitarian Trade Act, would make an exception to the 1961 Cuban trade embargo. The new bill, which is co-sponsored by Oregon Rep. Peter DeFazio, would allow medical supplies and other goods to be exported to Cuba. Rudclitsch said the Cuban peo ple had many questions about how America perceives itself be cause of their limited exposure to American citizens. “The conference was very im portant in trying to bridge an un derstanding between people from other nations,” she said. “I think we all came away with a lot of love and support for Cuba.” UO CULTURAL FORUM PRESENTS DAR WILLIAMS Monday Oct 13, 1997, 8r.m. emu ballroom $12 UO STUDENTS $1 5 GENERAL Public Tickets Available at: emu Tickets House of records Baladeer Music Mother Kali’s Record Garden CD WORLD Kinljcos^® Services! ^ Ask about free pickup and delivery Offer good on regularly priced products and services Not valid for mailina postage, notary, videoconferencing and bid pricing.
