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.”
