Czech Student Finds KU 'New After Old Campus In Europe
By MARILYN MARKS
From Prague, to London, to New York, to Lawrence, may sound like a pleasant travel jaunt for a restless cosmopolite, but for Magda Berger, graduate student in biochemistry from Prague, it meant escape from the Nazis and the chance to continue her studies.
Magda left her home in Prague for England in 1939 with the outbreak
Magda left her home in of the World War II. She lived in London until 1945 where she received the English equivalent of a high school diploma. Then she had jobs ranging from children's governess to research laboratory assistant in biochemistry and bacteriology.
"Blackouts and bombings were, of course, common occurrences," she said. "Everyone patterned his life to them as if they were normal routine. The combination of black-outs plus the English fog made vehicular traffic a hazardous and sometimes a ludicrous affair. Often at night buses would be forced to halt. The conductor then would walk ahead of the bus with a dimmed flashlight, looking for cars. If he could see no imminent danger, he would motion to the bus driver to come ahead."
as they wish and progress at their own speed.
In 1945, Magda returned to Prague and entered Charles university. Founded in the fourteenth century, its buildings are scattered throughout the city. Magda finds the centralized campus and comparative "newness" of the buildings rather unusual when compared to those in Czechoslovakia.
Students in Europe view collegiate studies much more seriously than do Americans, Magda believes. Since many of them are several years behind in their studies, they can enroll for an unlimited number of hours. Roll never is checked in classes, and students attend or "cut"
"That doesn't mean that social life doesn't exist," Magda hastily added. "There are many social organizations which maintain summer and winter camps in the mountains for students to ski, go on rambles (hikes), or participate in any sport they desire. Right now though, all the student clubs are political rather than anything else.
"Women, on the whole, are allowed more freedom than are girls in American universities. Nightly closing hours at Charles university were at 10 p.m., but if was customary for them to leave a girl to come in later, ring the bell and tip the porter for answering the door."
Magda now lives in Miller hall, a co-operative scholarship residence. She's having no difficulty adjusting to cooking American meals except for one small incident that occurred several days ago. "I was preparing a Czechoslovakian dessert, palliatekich, a thin mixture of shortening, flour, milk and eggs which, when crisp, is rolled with jelly. I had been used to making it with dried eggs and suddenly noticed that, when the fresh eggs were added, big lumps appeared. In spite of their poor taste, at that moment I wished intensely for those awful powdered eggs. It was very funny."
