HAVANA, July 20 (María Elena Rodríguez, Cuba Voz) Recent
university graduates refused to cooperate in a survey asking Havana residents
about the nightly political events the government conducts.
The nightly sessions, called "round tables" here, are televised
attacks directed at U. S. policy and at Cuban exiles. They started with the Elián
González affair and have continued after the boy returned to the island.
One of the recent graduates, who asked not to be identified, said: "This
business of the survey is stupid. I'm sick and tired of being used for political
propaganda to prop up an obsolete government. Recently I had to go to my
graduation at the anti-imperialist tribune (a plaza built in a park across from
the U. S. interests section) to calm my mother down."
Apparently, a substantial number of university students would like to leave
the country to be able, in the words of one, "to work with liberty,"
or "without being used for political programs."
