San Diego State University announced Thursday that it would participate next
 year in the first student and professor exchange with the University of Havana.

 SDSU International Business Program director Steven Loughrin, who is promoting
 the exchange, said the program was based on the hope that students in the
 United States and Cuba would ``one day be business associates.''

 During the 15-week exchange, students from California will receive classes in
 business administration and the market economy from the University of Havana's
 perspective.
