  • WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS April 19,2000 Different Meaning of Freedom for Father and Son As anyone who hasn't lived under a rock since Thanksgiving knows, little Elian Gonzalez is caught in the middle of a 39 year struggle between the world's only superpower and one of this hemisphere's poorest nations. The rest of this space will not be devoted to a rehash of the events surrounding one of this nation's most brainless media frenzies, which began the day a 5-year- old child was plucked from the Atlantic after two days afloat on an intertube. All that needs to be said is that it is quite a miracle that the child survived, surrounded by a school of dolphins protecting him in shark infested waters, to be rescued by two fishermen who, at first glance, almost chose to ignore what they though to be a decoy adrift miles off the Florida coast. This space will be dedicated to posing a question: how is it that a child, plucked from his home by an estranged parent, left to endure a traumatic experience alone in the middle of the ocean, once rescued by divine intervention, is not returned to his father immediately, without question and without invoking the shaggy -bearded, fatigue-wearing devil that most Americans know as Fidel Castro? Juan Miguel Gonzalez, the boy's father, is a cashier at a market in his hometown in Cuba. He is not a politician. He is not a diplomat. He is not a member of the state police or the army. He is a man who works for a living so that he may provide for his family. Isn't that what family values are all about? Most likely there is no more convincing example of the hypocrisy that is United States-Latin American policy than this sad, sorry affair. Nation after nation, for a century, we have sought to trample the liberty and freedom of people in Latin America for our own economic exploitation. Dictator after dictator has been supported by presidents from both of this nation's political parties, the Cuban example being Recruitment Campaign Claims Top Honors by Dawn Pasley Asst. News Editor WCU's recruitment materials have recently gained acclaim at the national level, winning top awards from many associations. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education, an educational association for professionals in institutional advancement, gave WCU's admissions campaign, "The Elusive Tour," awards in the Printed Publications category. In the Radio Programs and Announcements category, WCU also won for two radio ads produced by ProComm studios in Arden. "The Elusive Tour" also got the top awards for best poster, best imprinted design (T-shirt), and best total advertising campaign in the Admissions Advancement Awards, held by the Administrative Marketing Report. "The Buzz," a radio advertisement based upon the "X-Files" television series, was also given a merit award at the Admissions Advancement Awards. "The Elusive Tour" is the second segment of "Western on Tour," WCU's admissions campaign that began in the fall of 1997. "In Western on Tour.' a group of West ern faculty, staff, students, and alumni travels from town to town, taking the sights and sounds from campus into key cities in a program more reminiscent of music concert tours than the typical college night activities," said Thomas Canepa, associate vice-chancellor for enrollment management. The radio announcements were developed as a part of a larger campaign to increase WCU enrollment in keeping with a mandate from the UNC system of universities, which expects a large enrollment increase within the next few years. In addition to "The Buzz," there is also another radio spot, entitled "Close to Home," that targets students, parents and teachers by reminding them that students do not have to venture far to get a good education. Aside from the awards, WCU is seeing other results of its marketing strategies, namely, an increase in enrollment applications for fall 2000. "Early indications are that the new marketing strategies are paying off," said Phil Cauley, director of admissions at WCU. "Applications for enrollment for fall 2000 are running about 10 percent above the amount of applications received this time last year." Bautiste, who was overthrown by Castro in a popular uprising of an oppressed people against the bane of their existence. Since the Bay of Pigs fiasco on April 17, 1961, American policy has been to strangle Cuba with economic and political sanctions. We have failed. What we have succeeded in achieving is stagnating in time the development of one of the world's most beautiful islands, a veritable Caribbean paradise that could easily serve as a popular and economically viable ally, a mere 90 miles off the coast of the continental United States. What does it say about us as a people that we have a "thorn in the flesh," as former Sen. William Fulbright (D-Ark). so eloquently stated about US-Cuban relations? Why does the last front of the cold war exist in the Western Hemisphere? The answer to that question strikes at the heart of our avaricious policies over the years concerning nations in Latin America. Juan Gonzalez said the only sane thing to come out of the entire Elian saga. "The only one who decides for him is me, his father," he said Sunday night on 60-Min- utes. He also made an excellent point when asked by Dan Rather why he would not stay in this country and allow his family to taste the fruits of democracy. He asked what is freedom, and remarked that in Cuba education and health care are free. He also pointed out that in America, children are shot on a routine basis while attending school. "In Cuba that doesn't happen. You can go to work and not have to worry about that. That is real freedom," Gonzalez said. Well put, Juan Gonzalez. My only hope is that Americans will wake up from our self-centered audacity in time to allow a father and son to resume their relationship in spite of the fact that we think we know what is best for everybody, everywhere, all of the time.
