Page 6 University Daily Kansan, April 5, 1982 Pole filmmaker to show movie on homeland Marian Marznyk returned to his native Poland last May, and an 12-year absence, to make a film about his life and assess the present state of his homeland. "The point of the film was to return to his roots to try to recover his early childhood during the war as a metaphoric excuse as to what's happened in Poland." Richard Colyer, professor of English, said Friday. Today, Marzynski brings that film, "Return to Poland," a Public Broadcasting Service World special, to the University of Kansas. The film will be presented at 9 p.m. in 300 Strong. A session with Marzynski will follow. Marzynki, a Jew, was born in Poland in 1837, two years before the German invasion. He spent his early years in the Warsaw ghetto until his mother saved him from probable death by being buried with him in the care of a nun. "He was smuggled out of the Warsaw ghetto, hidden and protected by a Catholic nun and given a new personality." Calyfer, a friend of Mar AFTER THE WAR, Marzynski was educated as a journalist and filmmaker. "Return to Poland" is a chronicle of his life in Poland until he emigrated to Denmark in 1969, and eventually to the United States in 1972. Polish officials considered Martzynk's return a serious threat to security, so he had some difficulty returning to Poland, according to Colyer. on campus TODAY THE STUDENTS CONCERNED WITH DISABILITYS will sponsor a discussion group at 4 p.m. in 7-D, Linguinec Hall.

Although the weather in Ireland was pleasantly cool, he said the racers had many hard days. "One day we rode 120 miles in the rain, the wind was blowing off the ocean as we rode up the coast. It was cold and wet and long. All I wanted to do was finish. Then then," he said, "There even hot water to get us all clean." AN ADDITIONAL problem for the Americans, he said, was getting used to riding on the left side of the road. Conrad said that injuries such as strained muscles and tendons are a problem, especially during such a grueling race as in Ireland. He is still nursing a knee that he injured during the tour. This injury is another factor Conard considers when contemplating his retirement from racing. However, he said he hoped to overcome the injury and make a comeback this fall in the KU Criterium race. "I'm fat and out of shape and will be But Conrad is still lured to the Criterium, a race he has never won but thrice taken second place. behind in training for awhile," he said. He also doesn't know where he'll work after graduating this May. WIN OR LOSE, he said, he is satisfied with his accomplishments, and looks forward to charting the progress of the future champions he coached. "It's fun to watch kids like that, who are willing to work hard," he said. "Anything like this takes a lot of dedication, of both mind and body. The kid has to want to do it, though. The parents shouldn't push." Conrad said that his own parents had supported his racing career, although "it was kind of rough at first." His father, Don Conrad, is a minister at the University of W. St. 18th st., and didn't like Dave to be away at races every Sunday. "But they got used to that," he said, "and I'm always around after the end of the season. "They show me they appreciate it, when they come to my races and brag to the relatives." The water at Clinton Lake is a frigid 50 degrees. By DON KNOX Staff Reporter Twisted and rotted branches have washed ashore since last summer. Native limestone dots Clinton beach's 500 feet of sand. And the gold and maroon brick bathhouse needs a thorough cleaning. But Park Manager Bob Wallace knows that soon hot, lazy afternoons will beckon hords of college students anyway. Clinton awaits warmer times "The kids really seem to like it here," said Wallace, now in his fourth year as manager at Clinton State Park. The park, which includes more than 10 miles of shoreline, is six miles west of Lawrence. "April is more or less for fishermen," Wallace said. "But the students are always out in the spring." THE PARK OPENED for overnight camping last Friday afternoon. Park officials are preparing for the numerous campers, boaters and swimmers who will descend upon the six-year-old lake. "Sometimes it's just like a city here," said Ranger Jim Adkins, father of David Adkins, student body president at the University of Kansas. But to Jim Adkins, clad entirely in denim to fight off a gusty spring wind, the students are "a very congenial crowd." "They're really a neat group of kids," Adams said, but they lack information Beach and park rules are strict, he said. "We don't allow kegs in the park," Adkins said. "Nude swimming and disrobing is prohibited on the beach, and boating and bottles, pets and open fires." ALL BOATERS must wear life preservers, launch from certified boat ramps and be swimmers of swimers. Wallace said, "It's swim-at-yourn-isk here." No lifeguards patrol the lake's beach. "And permits are required for e everyone," he added. Passes cost $150.

Although both were lifjacketes, one student spent 15 minutes in the lake's cool waters. His body temperature dropped to 84 Adkins said, "Those things don't happen very often, maybe once or twice a year." No one has ever drowned at Clinton State Park, he said. "The water temperature is still too cold," Wallace said. "There were fourteen inches of ice on this lake during the winter." wauce said he did not expect much active activity at the lake immediately. Outstanding sophomores to receive $500 stipend By ANNE CALOVICH Staff Renorter There is now an extra bonus for students who are selected to be University Scholars $500. Al Johnson, assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs, said Friday the Kansas University Endowment Association, which already sponsored the program, would give $20,000 a year to the University Scholars program. Johnson said the money was a sign of the University's commitment to the honors program. "It's kind of a nice gesture," he said. "It's fitting that they should have something." Twenty outstanding sophomores are chosen each semester to be scholars, and will receive the money in the amount of $250 a semester, Johnson received $1400 during spring 72 class, will also receive the $600 starting next semester, he said. the stipend was to allow the scholars to buy books and expand their libraries, but that no stipulation would be put on the money. He said the students would be given an additional addition to any other financial aid and scholarship money they receive. They also must maintain a 3.5 grade point average to get the money. JOHNSON SAID that the purpose of The University Scholars program is new this semester, implemented as part of the Report of the Commission on Education, which was released last fall. Applications for next semester's class are being taken now. They are open to students who will be first or second year in college and who have a 3.5 or better GPA. The program is meant to encourage outstanding students at an early level so they will remain competitive about their undergraduate careers. Students must send a letter of application, two letters of recommendation and a current transcript to the office of academic affairs by April 9. Microbiology prof wins grant By VINCE HESS Staff Reporter Staff Reporter An assistant professor of microbiology credits the faculty and students around him for helping him a national grant that will pay his John C. Brown, an assistant professor of microbiology who specializes in immunology, recently received the "Research and Career Development" award from the National Institutes of Health. The award will pay his salary for a five-year period ending in September 1986. "Everyone has limits on his abilities," Brown said, "but I know I can do about as well as I can because of the people around me. "No matter what ideas you have, having other people provide ideas, question your own and do some of the work makes you very fortunate." BROWN SAID he was using funds from the award and from a three-year individual research grant from NIH to study "auto immune phenomena." The research grants run out in September, but Brown is seeking an extension. immune responses of the body, he said. Usually antibodies react against foreign bodies, such as infections, but in some cases, these immune cells react against themselves. The phononmena are abnormal A common result of the phenomena is rheumatoid arthritis. Brown is trying to find out what causes the phenomena and what can prevent them by studying rabbits, whose arthritic symptoms resemble those of humans. Students benefit from the award by having an opportunity to do more learnings. teaching and administrative duties and increase the time he spends in the laboratory and in traveling and consulting with other researchers. BROWN SAID other professors in the department encouraged him to apply for the award, and he did in spring 1980. Federal budget uncertainties delayed until last fall the decision. The process usually takes nine months. As part of the requirements for receiving the award, Brown must reduce the time he once spent on Brown said the "Research and Career Development" award was one of two NIH programs designed to promote scientific research. One is grants for individual research projects by scientists, he said. Other scientists in a field of study review materials them for funding to NIH officials. The other program is the award. The number given out each year is confidential, Brown said, because the awards are not a scientist's salary at his institution.
