Dr. Jan Boczek
Polish Mite Expert Working at KU
Page 3
Someone new, whose face is perhaps most familiar to persons working or attending classes in Snow Hall, is Dr. Jan Boczek. Dr Boczek, who arrived in Lawrence last week from the Institute Plant Protection in Pulawy, Poland, is an acarologist (mite exp
As far as Dr. Boczek knows, he is the only technician from Poland working in Kansas. He is doing research on the biology of mites under the guidance of Dr. Robert Beer, associate professor of entomology, whom he considers one of the best known specialists in acarology.
After and eight-month stay in Lawrence, Dr. Bozek will study for one month in Sacramento, Calif., then work for three months in College Park, Md. before returning to Poland.
Dr. Boczek also will work with Dr. E. Raymond Hall, professor of zoology, and Joseph Camin, associate professor, and Earl A. Cross, instructor, both of the entomology department.
Dr. Boczek completed his studies in 1951 at the University of Cracow in Poland and has been working at the Institute in Pulawy. Last July, he received his doctorate degree for a study of mites of food products, a major problem in Poland.
He finds Americans very friendly, but thinks they speak rapidly, and he still has some difficulty understanding them. He particularly likes American food. His favorite course is dessert. He has yet to become accustomed to the American "Coca-Cola" tradition and thinks "Cokes" should serve as flu syrup.
