Cuban official speaks on Castro 'tragedy' by Denyse Lozier staffwriter

A former Cuban government official under Fidel Castro spoke Saturday night about Castro's leadership and the oppression of the Cuban people under his control. Visiting Scholars Series

Castro's "objective was to destroy the system from within in order to create a new system," Dr. Alberto Piedra said in his speech titled "Castro: A Cuban Tragedy." It was sponsored by the JMU Hispanic Club. The general feeling at the beginning of Castro's rule was one of total disorder and of "not knowing what was going to happen to anyone," Piedra said.

Piedra left the government in May of 1959 after realizing that Castro was heading toward a totalitarian government He had known Castro from their days together al Vi llanova Universtiy in Cuba. Piedra is now the U.S. ambassador to Guatemala and the chairman of the MKE HEHNER/THE BREEZE Department of Finance for Catholic University of America.

Late, overcrowded buses frustrate students

by Ashley Hatcher staffwriter A group of students sit on the curb at the bus stop, waiting. They hear the roar of the bus engine and stand, hoisting their book bags onto their shoulders. They then watch in dismay as the already-full bus passes them by. They look at their watches nervously and resignedly sit back down to wait For those students who ride the bus to campus from the upper Port Republic Road area, or "the hill," rather than brave the reduced and distant commuter lots, the first few weeks of classes have been trying. Students using Route 6 of the Harrisonburg Bus Transit, which services Hunter's Ridge, Squire Hill, The Commons and Ashby Crossing, have been faced with late or overcrowded buses since the semester began. "Sometimes the bus never even comes. . . I've been up to 20 minutes late for some classes," said junior Theresa Staropoli. a Squire Hill resident. Senior Dean Wood said, "Last year I never had a problem getting a seat," but "now I have to get up BUS page 9 4 • THE BREEZE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1991 pwpmwfww* * * fl^E LOOK MISS USA GETS $200,000 ON CBS-TV * * 1992 MISS VIRGINIA USA * PROFESSIONAL HAIR DESIGNERS * TANNING SALON NO PERFORMING TALENT * » You can win fame and fortune aa Virginia's rep- » 20% OFF Cuts & Styles resentative in the nationally televised 1992 Miss * USA Pageant on CBS-TV.
