Mar --- Mau Hernandez plans to go forward by Sue Himel A lot of foreigners live in this coun- try but are always foreigners. I love my culture but that's the past and l want to go forward. The student making this statement is Jose Hernandez, a 21-year-old liberal arts major who is a native of Cuba. Rather than visiting in America, his family fled Cuba in 1961 with the country's takeover by Castro. By going forward, Hernandez took the first step in October to be sworn in as an American citizen. Although he was elected to the Stu- dent Senate trom the College of Lib- eral Arts, his first encounter with poli- tics came when he was a second l-tntyert Marrriiltrttrt Mt1rre3rt'r,Cr ltr-tara Marrtnqtf l-lrjtuma Fr l i--1.1 Maronufa taray Sritpn David Marse Marrero Fr lt.trlUar.iMarlin Thibndau- Fr ,. - Llana Martin Chauvin.

His three older brothers had come to the United States, by their father's wishes, when they reached the age to be drafted into the Communist army. Staying with an aunt and uncle in Miami, his parents lost all their posses- sions, except for the jewelry his mother was able to smuggle out. I don't think I was ever really told what was going on, Hernandez recalled stroking his beard, 'Awe were going to Miami and I didn't know where the hell Miami was. His education began again in the first grade to learn English, with another student translating what he . ' ar 'S , Lf .4 I Y' ' 1 - ' ' A Q t, . is said to his teacher. I remember laughing at English. lt sounded like Spanish backwards, he said. While his brothers lived with families in Mexico, a doctor in New Orleans asked his uncle to work making con- tact lenses for him. l loved Louisiana the minute I came. I remember people bringing food and the warmth l felt, he explained. Graduating from high school from the eleventh grade, Hernandez at first had plans to become a priest. To earn the money he took a job familiar to many students who earn their way through college. He worked as a cook on an offshore oil rig. ca. A Q K 1 , , 1 ,. fl N. 3 1 u , at .. .

An iden- tity crisis came next as he studied yoga, became a vegetarian and hitch- hiked for four months. After gambling in Reno, visiting Chi- natown, hitching rides with state policemen, selling ice cream and sleeping under overpasses in Utah, Hernandez decided it was time to come home. Enrolled as a political science major, he hopes to go to law school, visit Europe and become a master ot the English language. One of his friends, Julie Hebert, says he is Americanized Pausing to speak to another senator during a SGA meeting, Jose is active in politics. ' x.
