U.S. should lift embargo, respect Cuban autonomy

(07/30/02 4:00am)

Some recent letters have appeared in The Chronicle that criticize the Editorial Board's support for ending the U.S. embargo against Cuba. These letters reflect how many in the United States do not understand our own government's policies toward Cuba, nor do they understand what contemporary life is like on the island. In the June 27 issue, J. Edgar Williams wrote, "The U.S. embargo... has not affected Cuba's ability to trade with the rest of the world." To the contrary, the "Cuban Liberty and Solidarity Act," the 1996 legislation that details the specific provisions of the U.S. embargo, penalizes all nations that trade with Cuba by disallowing ships to port in the United States for six months after they have visited any Cuban port.

Column: Say `No' to Dining Privatization: Keep Out ARAMARK

(02/23/01 5:00am)

Duke University Dining Services, a division of ARAMARK, Inc. Sounds catchy, huh? If Duke Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Joe Pietrantoni has his way, this could be the new name of our main on-campus food source. Recent talks between Dining Services and the $7 billion Philadelphia-based provider of private prison maintenance, uniform, childcare and food services have put the two parties close to an agreement, with minimal student and worker input. Dining Services did not mention to students its intentions to sell to ARAMARK. Instead it allowed The Chronicle to announce the potential buyout of four eateries. All of this secrecy sounded fishy to me, so I took some time to research this potential provider of our sustenance. Here's what I found:

'A Right to Know'

(09/30/98 4:00am)

In the summer of 1996, I visited a sweatshop in Nicaragua with a multicultural delegation of students from the Southeast. In order to gain entrance, we had to tell the management that we were a business group interested in touring an "efficient garment manufacturing facility." The complex was reminiscent of the Central Prison in Raleigh, surrounded on all sides by a 15-foot barbed wire fence and patrolled by Gestapo-style guards wielding machine guns.
