"Everything in Poland, be it food, clothing, or cigarettes, you have to wait in long lines to purchase. And, not only must you wait in a different line for each item, but there is a distinct possibility that when you finally become the first in the line, the item you want is no longer in stock," says Anthony Slomkoski 111, a 1983 Penn State economics graduate. But Slomkoski did encounter more enjoyable and educational experiences when he attended Poland's University of Krakow, where he studied Polish language, history and culture this summer for six weeks. Through Slomkoski's association with his Polish colleagues, he soon Anthony. came A known as "Antek," the Polish word for The Polish vodka, Antek said, is excellent. But Polish beer would leave Penn State partiers feeling flat at least , until they acquired a taste for it. "It's really disgusting. The best beer is export ed and the leftovers are what the Polish people get to drink. This is typical of Polish culture because the Polish people always give guests the best they have." In fact, the summer group of students at Krakow were politely told to obtain dinner invita tions from their Polish friends. While Antek was still a Penn State student, he enrolled in Professor Sigmund S. Birkenmayer's Polish History and Culture class (Polish 100). Birkenmayer, a Polish native, tells his students the Poles have a saying that "to have a guest in one's home is like having God in one's home." He also tells his students how polite, consider ate and family-oriented the Poles are, Antek says. He adds that he saw much evidence of this innate hospitality and family closeness during his stay„ "The Polish men are very considerate of their wives and children. On Sunday afternoons when many Poles go out for walks, it was always the men who pushed the baby carriage," he says. "There were also families in the discotheques `To abstain from Pepsi• Cola and Marlboros and to endure Polish beer was a small price to pay. The Poles are a delightful people and their culture is much to be admired.' and children would get out on the floor and dance along with the adults."' Respect for age regarding both people and culture is quite evident in Poland, Antek says. "When an older person gets on the public street cars, the young immediately relinquish their seat. If the elderly person is not seen immedi ately, he or she has only to lay a hand on the back of the seat to let their presence be known," Antek says. Nowa Huta, not far from Krakow, is a large steel-producing town. Antek said he was sur prised at how concerned the people in Krakow are with the steel mill's pollution weathering and corroding their old buildings and monuments. "They are more concerned with their buildings `When an older person gets on the public street cars, the young immediately ' relinquish their seat. If the elderly person is not seen immediately, he or she has only to lay a hand on the back of the seat to let their presence be known.' . ..

"Krakow is cleaner than Pittsburgh," he-adds. "I worked in the steel mills and lived in the Pittsburgh area most of my life and Krakow is definitely, less polluted. In Pittsburgh people worry about their health, not their buildings." Another interesting Polish characteristic An tek noticed is that the Poles always decorate' everything artistically. "From simple paper . bags to candy bar wrappers, they put artistic designs on them," he says. "When you go into a Polish home, their walls have pictures painted on them. Their sliced tomatoes are artfully arranged on serving plates and they always have arrangements of fresh flowers." Their collective artistic consciousness is dra matically displayed in a stainless steel memorial in the city of Gdansk. The memorial is dedicated to the shipyard workers who died in a 1970 strike. The 135 feet high monument was completed in only two months. When Antek remarked to his guide that he felt this was a remarkably short time in which to make such a huge monument, his guide said that when the Polish people's emotions are involved in their work, things go very fast and very well. Antek and several other summer students joined the Poles in their annual pilgrimmage to Czestochowa to pay homage to the Black Madon na, Catholic Poland's most honored religious symbol. The delegation from Gdansk, the town where Lech Walsea and Solidarity were cat apulted into the world's spotlight, was openly defiant of their government's ban on their trade union. "Even though the punishment for displaying the Solidarity symbol is three years imprison ment," Antek says, "these people carried their Solidarity banners openly and many wore Solida rity lapel pins." Having the privilege of visiting the land of his forebears, Antek says, was worth abandoning the 'luxuries' of American society. "To abstain from Pepsi-Cola and Marlboros and to endure Polish beer was a small price to. pay. The Poles are a• delightful people and their.. culture is much to be admired. I certainly plan to • visit Poland again as soon as I can."
