Costs other that tuition are covered by the agency for international development from foreign aid funds authorized by Congress.

Unhappily, the first such test will probably involve the students who leave for Cuba Sunday on the free ride being offered by the Cuban Federation of University Students and the "Ad Hoc Student Committee for Travel to Cuba." There must be a test case--but it would be hard to imagine a worse one. The leader of the Ad Hoc Committee is a frank communist sympathizer, and because of the very nature of the junket, most of those who will accompany him will probably be communist sympathizers...
