This is the conclusion of a correspondent who has been re porting the news from Cuba for over 20 years. In "Cuba: Island of Paradox," R. Hart Phillips, "New York Times" correspon dent, has told the story behind the headlines of 1959, when the attention (of the world became focused on Castro's dramatic revolution. But Cuba's political troubles go back farther than Castro. Mrs. Ruby Hart Phillips has followed the bloody history of the coun try since the early 1930's when another dictator, Gerardo Macha do, was overthrown in the midst of terrorism analogous to Cas-. tro's blood hath.

She tells the definite story of 11 stormy changes in government and three extraordinarily powerful men: Machado, Batista, and Castro. 'Since the earliest, raggedest days of Castro's revolt she kept in close touch with the revolution aries. She has watched equally closely the efforts of Communism in Cuba; in 1945 she wrote that "Russia's bid for influence in Latin America has made Cuba one of the focal points of Com munist propaganda." The last section of the book, the only part recently written, is devoted to a frank, shrewd ap praisal of the economic and political dilemmas that the mes sianic Castro must settle down to solving in order to hold onto his power. - Beat Clemson! - CH works wonde,r iunny! e... thatsa banana!

Take a look at the critical analysis in the special 66-page extra on "Writing in America" in this m o n t h ' s "Harper's Magazine." In this article, leading writers and critics discuss the opportun ities for the young writer and what they can and cannot be taught in "creative writing" courses. They also probe into careers in the fields of fiction, the possibilities for writing poetry, movies, television, theater, book reviewing, and even comment on the publishing bus iness. Among those contributing to this analysis is Archibald Mac Leish, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and author, who tells why he thinks writing courses are justified and how they can best be conducted ... with a comment on what cannot be done! Drawing from his own experi ence, Budd Schulberg, popular author, gives a description of Hollywood's traditional treat ment of writers as "unimportant odd-job men on the movie as sembly line." Now, however, he says writers have an "unpre cedented opportunity" in the movie field. The winner of this year's Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Stanley Kunitz, contributes an imaginary dialogue with a young poet, tell ing why the general level of poetry is higher today than ever before. Other contributors in the arti cle include Elizabeth Hardwick, Vance Bourjaily, Alfred'-Kazin, Frank Yerby, and Robert Brus tein. Two British writers, C. P. Snow and Kingsley Amis, make an observation of American literature today. The article is worthwhile read ing for any person interested in the creative writing field. - Beat Clemson! - us growth that attacks banana ere cumbersome to apply and igus growth easily and econom SEARCH work.s wond>rs tm Varied Opinions Students By JUDY KILLOUGH Staff Writer The big question these days seems to be "Why is the Clem son game being switched from Big Thursday to some other day?" To find out the feelings around campus, we interviewed several students on this topic. In addition to the interviews, one professor asked some of hilt classes to write an unsigned paper on the abolishment of Big Thursday. We took choice state ments from some of these papers to give an all-round view. FRED DAY, a senior, has this to say: "I think the game should be maintained. For one thing, where will 30,000 people stay in Clem son? Not in the Clemson House, I'm sure. "The Carolina-Clemson game has always been a big drawing card; now, what will everybody see? "The farmers expect to see something of a rivalry on their one trip to town to sell beans, cotton, fatback, etc. "rhis one big game has been a fight between the city boy and the country boy, leaving them something to talk about the rest of the year, or until the new crop comes in. "The game had its drawbacks, but I think the good points out weighed the had points." JOIN DALISA, a sophomore, says: "I dislike the move to play North Carolina on Big Thursday, or should I say Big Saturday. lowever, this game may attract more attention nation-wide and become just as big a rivalry as the Clemson game. "This move will give South Carolina a double rivalry, for I know that no matter when we play Clemson, the feeling of Big Thursday will always be there." EVERETT DEMPSEY, a mem ber of the junior class, has this to say: "Doing away with Carolina Clemson is bad, but if they have to do away with it, North Caro lina is the best choice for a re placement. "Clemson is undoubtedly fore seeing that Carolina is fast be t t plants threatened expensive. Then fcally. Fthi oil. ES ) 5ay 'Aboli :oming a national power. "Clemson has the right to do Away with Big Thursday, but fter several years, I think they Nil] realize their mistake." AL DuPRE, a senior, gives his ;iew: "It has been a tradition, and [ can't see any reason for it to )e changed. "If they move it to Clemson, :hey won't have the facilities to louse all the people. "I think North Carolina is al Nays a good game. I think it ;hould be played here, but not o take the place of Clemson. FRED DAY EVERETTE DEMIPSEY "Clemson and Carolina are in .he same state and are a bigger ivalry." J A C K HAILE. a freshman, ,ives an opinion: "I think they are ruining a treat tradition.

"lowever, a game between North Carolina and South Caro lina would have, more national prominence because both are state institutions. "Rather than being the end of a tradition, the new opponent for the Gamecocks on Big Thursday should prove to be the beginning of a new and greater *ra in Caro lina's athletics." TOMMY RENNETT, a fresh mai, says: "I think the Big Thursday 1amke het wI C(ar('Iol ina aid Clem .10N DALISA Al.

"But on the other hand, Co lumIbia is more centrally located and should be the place for the game. It's a logical location. "I feel that the tradition of Big Thursday should remain in tact. It is an event that has aroused the interest of the people in the state for many years. In moving the site, the spirit of Big Thursday will never be the same." SALLY LIEE PxllI,1,IpS, a junior, says: "I think it is a mistake to Change a game that has become a tradition. Big Thursday is as much a part of Carolina life as Maxey monulent. "I can see Clemson's point of view im wanting the game on homne-grounds part of the time but this isn't an ordinary game. lig Thursday is a game that is kniown and respected throughout the nation. "It really is a shanie to do away with something that brings prestige to both schools and to the state." WALTER BiRYSON, a junior, has his own point of view: "I think it is a good thing for this reason: we have had it here for so long that it is nothing but a big drunk. "Most of the people are going to the game just to drink. The rivalry is mostly between the cheerleaders. ",Only the miost rabid fans would go if the game were held at Clemson. Most of the people who would go would be the alumni, the fraternities, and the true sports fans. "I don't think there will be as much drinking and disorderliness. I think there will be more school spirit if the games are held there." * 0 . The following are excerpts from a group of anonymous papers written by students ex pressing their opinions on the abolishment of Big Thursday: "If they believe that playing on their own field will improve their score from last year, just let them try!" "If Clemson is as good in foot ball as they pretend to be, then there should not be a strong need for playing on homne grounds." "Since we arl. going to will, we might just as well win at homle." "I truly believe that some thing as special and loved as this should never die." Redecorated Barns "All the pe'ople of the state will have to dIrive up to the hills and sleep in beautifully re decorated 'ow bars."'l5 "I1 think that the site of the ga me shoulId alternate between the t wo colleges each year." "'For as long as I can remem-'m her, I have heard :abouit Big 'Thursday. It seems very' sadl to mle to think that after the 1959m game, thle re will n ever aga in be such a thIng as te traditional Hig Thursday." Tigers Strike! "Tradition has ended -- 'The tigers have struck again!'" "This Big Thursday affair is a fall fashion showv for the wo men oif the city (USC) anid of the country (Clemson). It is also a b)ig puolitical meetinrg for all tht' state politicians (anid some hop1 ing to be politicians). The tradi tion of Hig Thursday shoumld be' allowed to continue to keelp all of these women and politicians happy." "I think it is a good idea that Big Thursday has been discon tirnued between Carolina and Clemson. I am of the opinion that such a rivalry should not exist between twoi schools with ini a state." Scared Tribe? "Althtugh it may be fair for thle Clemson tribe, who are be coinrg afraid to leave their own lipemises, it will break ani old tradlition which c a n n o t be equalled any tther place in A merica.. "Clemson may think they are losing games because of the psychological effects brought about by playing in Columbia. Please, Clemson fans, consider what your opponents will say when Carolina atarts beating yoiu in your own pasture lands."
