To Become U.S. Citizen
Hungarian's Flight From Communists Led To KU Via Vienna And Zurich
By JOE TAYLOR
The story of a Hungarian student being forced to flee his country when the Communists took over and his subsequent adventures until he came to the University is graphically told by Zoltan Dios, graduate student.
Dios came to the United States in June of this year knowing that a scholarship at the University was awaiting him and that a University cooperative house had granted him a guest membership.
Dios was sitting quietly on a high work stool in the electrical laboratory at the University. Laying aside the delicate parts which he was assembling into a new piece of equipment, he told his story.
"This organization of all students in Hungary had been working closely with Premier Nagy in helping solve student problems. Nagy was very sympathetic to us and so heavy bonds linked our group to the coalition government he headed," Dios explained.
"Four years ago in Budapest as a graduate of the Joseph Nador Technical University of Budapest, I was president of the National Union of Hungarian Students.
Since coming, he has filed his first papers declaring his intention to become an American citizen.
"The Communists, under the guise of ridding the government of bad influences, began a purge. Premier Nagy was forced to flee to Switzerland to the U.S.. All who were connected with his group were also in danger."
Then in June the entire political picture suddenly changed, he said.
On June 19, 1947, two of Dios' friends were arrested by the pro-Communists. Realizing that he was next, Dios fed to Vienna where he was recognized as a political refugee. The German government to be a lecturer to German and English students on the events taking place in Hungary.
"Then in the latter part of 1947 I went to Switzerland and took up my studies again," he continued. This time he was at the Technical Institute of Zurich, where he studied for three years.
During this time Dios was frequently invited to conferences in Europe which discussed student problems. Of prime importance was the question of aiding students in the Communist occupied countries.
At one of these conferences in Denmark in 1949, the Midwest seminar, Dios became acquainted with two University representatives, Eds. Dixon and associate professor sociology, and John Ise, professor of economics.
"While at the meeting Professors Baur and Ise promised to try to make it possible for me to come to the U.S. for study," Dios said. "In April of 1950 Professor Baur notified me that arrangements had been made through the International Refugee organization.
"The University made available a scholarship for advanced study, and Don Henry Co-op accepted me as a guest member." he added.

"The Bartered Bride" in its first presentation last night was brilliantly colorful and gay and showed a well experienced and rehearsed cast.
The clever plot, concerning the arrangement of the marriage of Marie, the heroine, to Vashek, a simple peasant lad, ran quite smoothly. Quick changes in mood were accomplished by the interception of lively dances. Bright, beautiful costumes emphasized the lightness of the opera.
For an opening Monday night performance, the receptive audience was very good.
Fred Tarry, fine arts sophomore, handled the very difficult tenor role of Jenik, Marie's true love, with considerable musical ability.

Yujiro Maeda of Osaka, Japan, has an ideal setup for a feature writer. A graduate student in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, Maeda sends feature articles on his impressions of American college life to the Mainichi newspaper of Osaka.
The arrangement is working out perfectly. "My daily experiences about which I write," he says, "are all new to me and the Japanese people. My big impression of American university life is that you are very practical, more practical than academic."

He explains that the newspaper is printed in both English and Japanese. He covered the Chamber of Commerce beat for both editions. He said most of the staff on the English edition had attended journalism schools in the United States.

They tried to fool him with the "quick-trick" cigarette mildness tests—but he wouldn't go astray! We know as well as he there's only one fair way to test cigarette mildness. And millions of smokers agree!
It's the sensible test...the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments. Once you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why...
After all the Mildness Tests . . .
Camel leads all other brands by billions
