From Concentration Camp To College In Six Days
Six days after returning to Hungary from Auschwitz concentration camp. Tibor T. Szabo, chemical engineering sophomore, was in school.
Szabo, among the first Hungarians to return from a concentration camp, was urged to enter a hospital for treatment. "But I was in a hurry to complete my education so I immediately entered medical school. I did not like to cut the bodies and $\textcircled{2}$ changed $\textcircled{3}$ to chemical engineering which I like [pensive that he] lot better." he said.
His mother and sister were killed in the gas chamber at Auschwitz and his father was shot at Dachau. "I soon saw that if I remained in Hungary I would be a victim of the Russian circumstances as I had the Germans before, so being alone I decided to leave," the student said.
He slipped across the border to an Austrian displaced persons camp and finally to the United States. Szabo hopes to remain in the United States under the new displaced persons law. This law permits people to stay here when they are afraid to return to their home country because of religious or political reasons.
"I went to a DP camp in Germany from Austria and then my problem was to get into France. It was really quite simple. I put a chocolate candy bar and a bar of soap on the desk of a German secretary to an American army captain. She gave me a permit to enter the French zone of Germany to visit relatives. The army captain never saw the permit and I still don't know who signed it, but it did get me into the French zone.
"I will always love the French, because they understood the problems of the displaced persons. I arrived without any official papers and the French police got all the necessary papers and documents for me."
He went to Paris where he studied at the Sorbonne, then to London from where he flew to the United States. Eighteen months ago he enrolled in Bergen Junior college, Teaneck, N.J. and later transferred to New York university. It was so expensive that he looked in a reference book and found that the University of Kansas was among the lowest in expenses and among the best in the grading system, Szabo said.
Asked if there had been any disappointments at the University, he said, "When I left New York, friends told me there would be Indians here in their uniforms and that people here didn't wear shoes. I arrived here and it is civilized. I was not disappointed but very surprised.
"I like the University very much. I have studied math at the Sorbonne, Bergen, N.Y.U. and K.U. has the best department of them all."

He did work on metalliferous deposits and strategic minerals during the war. In addition, he has written extensively on the physiography and pre-Cambrian geology of the Rocky Mountains.
Dr. Lovering's talk should be of special interest to students of mining, metallurgy, geography, and geology. The lecture is open to the public.
Edwin Kelley, '45, has been awarded the Elsa Larson Memorial scholarship for the current academic year, Dean J. H. Nelson of the graduate school said today.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelley are studying now in Sweden and his scholarship will enable them to continue their work. The scholarship was established by Misses Mary and Edith Larson in honor of their mother. Miss Mary Larson is an assistant professor of zoology at the University.

He Paid For Those Eggs,
And Some Poor Layers
*U. S. Pat. No. 2388649
Artwork by Joan Baxter
Arlington, Tex.—(UP)—An Arlington merchant got a bitter taste of inflation by paying $2 a dozen for eggs. He bought a case for $12 from a stranger and found later that only the two top layers of the crate were filled. The rest was empty and he was short by 24 dozen.
Pioneer Remembers When Ice Was 10 Cents A Pound
Lawton, Okla. — (UP)— Maybe things in this "inflationary" day aren't so bad after all, young Lawtonians have decided after hearing recollections of a pioneer woman. Mrs. Abe March remembers when she came here in 1901, water was sold from wagons at 20 cents a bucket. Ice cost 10 cents a pound.
