INTERPRETING
Kennedy Thought
Favoring Break
CADET SLOUCH
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Although the incoming John F.
Kennedy administration was not
directly involved in the decision
to break diplomatic relations with
Cuba, one phrase of President
Eisenhower’s statement comes
very close to the “moral support”
of Fidel Castro’s enemies for
which Kennedy called duiing the
campaign.
In it may be found a clue as to
what the so-far-silent Kennedy
thinks of the U.S. action.
Kennedy criticized Republican
handling of the Cuban crisis and
suggested the United States
should support Castro’s opponents
—presumably those in the United
States as well as in Cuba and
other parts of Latin America.
Later, recalling inter-American
agreements against intervention,
he said he meant moral support.
In explaining the break in re
lations, Eisenhower expressed his
hope and conviction that normal
relations could be resumed in the
not too distant future.
That represents a public ex-
' pression of hope from one of the
’ world’s most powerful figures
that the Castro regime will come
.to an end. Since it is a military
regime, it is hardly likely that its
,end can be brought about except
through application of at least
some force, over and beyond the
.. economic collapse which many ob
servers consider overdue.
Castro, having forced his coun
try into the last steps of an eco
nomic reorientation toward the
Communists — the United States
was the seventh American nation
to break relations — will soon
have to find some means of cov
ering the checks he so often
writes without even filling out the
stubs. His trade deals with the
Communists are mostly barter,
and heavily involve the import of
arms which nobody can eat.
A break in relations does not
mean a break in trade, but usual
ly reduces it because of its psy
chological effect on credit and
the necessity of private business
working through third party gov
ernments. The United States al
ready had cut off most Cuban
trade. Others will follow.
The prospects of Castro get
ting enough money to keep going
seem slim.
Only a few hours before the
break in relations the Castro gov
ernment broke a 25-year record
of meeting its obligations on
time, defaulting on a $2,366,529
payment to the Manufacturers
Trust Co. on a long-term loan.
Two years ago people in the
United States not only hoped but
believed that Castro would set
Cuba on a new and happier
course. Dictatorship merely re
placed dictatorship. And now the
dictator has forced a break with
his most powerful neighbor, the
neighbor, which started Cuba to
ward nationhood. It all seems so
stupid.

Second ‘Christian Herita^ AR
Thought’ Series Revealed ?
A second quarter of courses in
the area of “Christian Heritage
and Thought,” begins Monday in
the experimental Lay School of
Christian Studies being conduct
ed by campus chaplains. A first
quarter series on advanced theolo
gy was completed in December.
Purpose of the lay school is
to give laymen an opportunity to
study Biblical and theological
fields on a more advanced level
than could normally be done with
in the framework of local congre
gations. The growing need for
theologically-orientated laymen in
all professions has long been felt
in continental Europe, and mas
sive lay schools have become ma
jor annual events, particularly in
Germany. One national church
body has already made inquiry
regarding the local school in an
attempt to learn more of what
is being done for lay theological
training.
Courses Offered
Courses to be offered in the
quarter from Jan. 29-Mar. 9 will
include the following: “The Ear
ly Church Fathers,” a historical
study of the great leaders of the
apostolic church; to be taught
Thursdays at St. Thomas Church
by Pastor Alfred Johnson, Epis
copal chaplain.
“The Existentialist Posture,” a
study of the basic approach and
teachings of the existentialist
school of theology; to be taught
at St. Thomas Church on Thurs
days by Pastor John Combs and
Intern Bruce Felker of the Wes
ley Foundation.
On Monday evenings, at Our
Saviour’s Luthern Church, two
courses will be offered: “The
Mind of the Reformation.” a stu
dy of the background mid basic
documents of the Reformation
period, to be taught by Pastor
Mel Bulgerin and Intern George
Fry of the Lutheran Student
Foundation.
“Protestant Christianity,” a
study of theological movements
within Protestantism since the
Reformation, will be taught at
the same time and location by

1961: YEAR OF DECISION
Well sir, here we are in 1961, which shows every sign of being
quite a distinguished year. First off, it is the only year since
1951 which begins and ends with the Figure 1. Of course, when
it comes to Figure 1’s, 1901, though distinguished, can hardly
compare with 1911, which, most people agree, had not just two,
but three Figure I’s! This, I’ll wager, is a record that will stand
for at least two hundred years!
1911 was, incidentally, notable for many other things. It
was, for example, the year in which the New York Giants played
the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. As we all know,
the New York Giants have since moved to San Francisco and
the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City. There is a movement
afoot at present to move Chicago to Phoenix—the city, not the
baseball team. Phoenix, in turn, would of course move to
Chicago. It is felt that the change would he broadening for
residents of both cities. Many Chicago folks, for example, have
never seen an iguana. Many Phoenix folks, on the other hand,
have never seen a frostbite.
There are, of course, certain difficulties attending a municipal
shift of this size. For instance, to move Chicago you also have
to move Lake Michigan. This, in itself, presents no great prob
lem, what with modern scientific advances like electronics and
the French cuff. But if you will look at your map, you will find
that Lake Michigan is connected to all the other Great Lakes,
which iu turn arc connected to the St. Lawrence Seaway, which

in turn is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. You start dragging
Lake Michigan to Phoenix and, willy-nilly, you’ll be drugging
all that»other stuff too. This would make our British allies
terribly cross, and I can’t say as 1 blame them. I mean, put
yourself in their place. What if, for example, you were a British
workingman who had been saving and scrimping all year for a
summer holiday at Brighton jBeach, and then when you got to
Brighton Beach there wasn’t any ocean? There you’d lie with your
inner tube and snorkel and nothing to do all day but dance the
Lambeth Walk. This, you may be sure, would not make you
NATO-minded!
^ I appeal most earnestly to the residents of Chicago and
1 hoenix to reconsider. I know it’s no bowl of cherries going
through life without ever seeing an iguana or a frostbite, but I
ask you—Chicagoans, Phoenicians—is it too big a price to pay
for preserving the unity of the free world? I am sure that if
you search your hearts you will make the right decision, for
aU of us-whether we live in frostbitten Chicago, iguana-ridden
I hoenix, or narrow-lapelled New Haven—are first and foremost
Americans!
But I digress. We were speaking of 1961, our new year. And
new it is! Ihcre is, for one tiling, new pleasure in Marlboro
Cigarettes. How can there be new pleasure in Marlboros when
that fine, flavorful blend, that clean easy draw filter, have not
been altered? The answer is simple: each time you light a
Marlboro, it is like the first time. The flavor is such that age
cannot wither nor custom stale. Marlboro never palls, never
jades, never dwindles into dull routine. Each pack, each
dgaTctte, each puff, makes you glad all over again that you are
a Marlboro smoker!
S °, Marlbor os in hand, let us march confidently into 1961.
May good fortune attend our ventures! May happiness reign!
May Chicago and Phoenix soon recover from their disappoint
ment and join our bright cavalcade into a brave tomorrow!
