Lecture sets 'Spirit of Poland'
By Carol B. Shiney Kansen staff writer
Two maps of Poland, an U.S. flag, a white-and-red banner and poster proclaiming "Solidarity" surrounded Anna Cienciala as she gave a profile of Poland.
"This is a good time to talk of Poland because so many interesting things have happened there," she said. "Poland really set the ball rolling in Eastern Europe."
Glencia, professor of history and Soviet and East European studies, yesterday gave the first lecture in a series for the "Spirit of Poland," a month-long celebration sponsored by the University Concert Series and other campus and community organizations.
Sonia Baker, educational coordinator for the University Concert Series, said the celebration was an educational opportunity to keep all of the people in Lawrence aware of what was happening in Poland almost on a daily basis. The highlight of the celebration will be the Feb. 15 performance of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, she said.
"The events really began because of our bringing in the Warsaw Philharmonic, but activities will be continuing throughout the whole month of February." Baker said.
Since the first nearly free elections in Poland on June 4,1989, several sweeping changes have occurred across Eastern Europe in Hungary, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Romania.
About 35 people attended Ciencia's lecture in the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
"Why is Poland in the vanguard of these changes?" Clenciala asked.
She said two themes in Polish history, the great love and struggle for freedom and the Roman Catholic religion, helped answer that question.
"Poland was converted from Rome in 966 A.D.", Cienciala said. "With the church came the Latin language, the language of the church, which was the language of education in Europe."
She said the Catholic Church brought the Poles into the Western family of nations.
As examples of expressions of freedom, Cilciata listed the Polish revolts of 1839 and 1883 against Russia, the revolt of 1846 against Austria and the revolt of 1848 against Prussia.
"In the 19th century, the very name of Poland meant freedom in Europe," she said.
Cienciata also discussed World War I, World War II and several revolts in the 20th century.
Baker, who helped coordinate the celebration, said that in conjunction with the celebration of Poland, merchants would put up special displays and that Fifi's Nabil's, 925 Iowa St., S.C. Pomeroyo's, 101 W. 7th, and the Adams Alumni Center, 1266 Oread, would offer special menus.
Customers who choose items from the special menu will get a voucher for a discount ticket for the Warsaw Philharmonic, she said.
"This is the background," she said. "The Poles have been fighting for freedom for hundreds of years."
John Jarrett, dining room manager of S.C. Pomeroy's, said that the restaurant's menu would include several Polish foods such as Guwumpk, which is cabbage leaves stuffed with pork, beef and rice, and Kielbasa, a type of Polish sausage served with cabbage, potatoes and carrots.
"One of our oils is Polish, and she called her grandmother to get all of the recipes." he said.
