'Poland Enjoying New Freedom'
Present-day Poland is enjoying a feeling of freedom, a sense of achievement, and pride in her history, Norman J. C. Pounds, professor of geography at the University of Indiana, said in a University lecture Thursday.
Speaking on "Poland Today," Dr. Pounds, who is also chairman of the Institute of East European Studies at Indiana University, said he never did see a "hammer and sickle" in Poland during his visit there last year.
Although "tempered with certain restraints," the people can more or less do what they please, go where they wish and see what they want, he said.
Since the 1956 student uprisings against the Russians, the Polish government has been replacing the "old guard Stalinists" with a more nationalistic form of government, he said.
The Poles are very proud of the success of the 1956 uprisings, he said, explaining that while the Polish history is filled with uprisings of various sorts, this was the first of its kind to achieve such tremendous success.
"They are the most hopeful people in the world." he added.
He explained that while the Polish people dislike the Russians, they must depend on them to protect their resource-rich northern lands near the Oder river from the Germans whom they hate.

Poland's great industrial need is iron ore, which she must get from the Russians, because coal is the only exchange she has to offer and the Western. "capitalistic" nations are rich in that mineral resource, he said.

barracks outside of the cities and are somewhat restricted to keep to themselves," he explained.
In many instances the Poles have restored entire sections of their cities exactly as they were before World War II, he said. The government spends an enormous amount of time and money restoring such buildings as churches, provided the buildings have rich artistic or historical value.

KU Debate Teams In Tournament
Showing color slides of Polish countrysides, Dr. Pounds pointed out that collectivization of the farming system has not been too successful and that much of the land being cultivated is what the United States would regard as "sub-marginal."
Two KU debate teams are participating in a tournament at St. Thomas College in St. Paul, Minn. today through Saturday.

The study tour pays all expenses while students are in Germany. Students pay travel expenses and summer school fees.
