HUNGARIAN REFUGEE SURGEON:
Medicine Suffers Under Communists Says Kovacsi
4,
'U' Roommate Policies
Described as 'Stagnant'
(Continued from Page 1)

A prominent Hungarian refugee
surgeon now at the University says
that medicine has suffered greatly
under Communist domination.
"A doctor does not know from
one day to the next whether or
not he will be on the rounds at the
hospital or under the boot of the
political police in jail," Dr. Laszlo
Kovacsi comments.
"Doctors can be fired in one
minute on the charge of being
'against the state.' This usually
happens whenever a qualified, re-
liable Communist Party member is
available to replace him."
From Budapest
Formerly of the Department of
Urology at University Hospital in
Budapest, Dr. Kovacsi is now
serving a rotating, internship at
University Hospital in Ann Arbor
to satisfy requirements for taking
Michigan state board examina-
tions. Following this, he hopes to
become associated with the Urolo-
gy Service at University Hospital.
Dr. Kovacsi states that he was
listed on secret Hungarian hospi-
tal personnel records-unearthed
during the revolution-as "unreli-
able" because he was physician to
the British and American legation
and because he had recently
bought a car. He describes it as a
10 year old Peogeut, a four-pas-
senger French make.
For this, and being able to put
up the $750 needed to buy it, he
was classified as an "imperialist."
Never Had Chance
A non-Communist doctor never
had a chance in Communist Hun-
gary, the doctor said. "The whole
personnel program was against
us." Rather than selecting a per-
son trained in personnel work, the
Communists. chose for chief of
personnel a common laborer with
whom none of the other laborers
could get along.
"This man was responsible for
maintaining the secret files on ev-
ery employee in that 4,000 bed
hospital-an establishment more
than three times as big as Uni-
versity Hospital," the doctor re-
calls.
"On locating the personnel files
during the revolution, we found
that nearly every doctor was listed
as 'unreliable.' A very prominent
surgeon was classified as 'not bad'
in his profession, but 'not reliable
because he went to church."
Earned $45 Monthly
Supporting a family on a salary
of $45 a month (raised from $25
last September) plus what ever he
could make from "private" prac-
tice, usually the equivalent of $100
to $150 a month in "tips," Dr. Ko-

vacsi was considered by the Com-
munists as living high.
The Communist influence goes
deep into private lives, he says.
His son, Gabor, 12, realized him-
self that no matter how hard he
worked in the Communist operated
school, he would never get above
the minimum passing marks, nor
would he ever get much beyond the
sixth grade-all because he was
the son of an "imperialist."
Dr. Kovacsi was active in the
revolution, operating on both Hun-
garian and Russian soldiers. He
says that the Russian soldiers were
always in much worse shape than
the Hungarians when they arrived
at the hospital.

preference or requesting mixed
living will still frequently be seg-
regated by race, religion a'nd na-
tionality.
As partial proof critics point to
a motion that would have made
the Board of Governors assign-
ment policy more specific.
The motion, proposed and de-
feated when the policy was
adopted, said that the University
does not consider racial, religious
or national background in assign-
ing roommates and, unless it is
requested, no effort will be made
to place students together by
these characteristics.
Several members of the Board
said this was understood by those
doing the assigning; however,
some people disagree.
Administrators Say
In a brief to the Board, the Hu-
man Relations Board said: "In
general one finds that new resi-
dents of the same 'race' and re-
ligion are placed together. This
information has been obtained
by discussions with administra-
tors in the residence halls."
One well-informed p e r s o n
claims the same thing has been
found in assignment policies this
year.
The "administratively feasible"
clause of the policy statement is
viewed by some critics as a "way
of avoiding any requested room-
mate combination they don't
think wise."
One person said he found Ne-
gros living together in rooms "ob-
viously above the financial means
of one of them."
"Some Negroes," he continued,
"have been kept in temporary
housing for some time because
the only space available was with
whites."
These arguments have caused
many observers to assume, as one
put it, "that the University's at-
titude and unwritten policy is not
to encourage integration of stu-
dents."
More upper class integration is
urged by some people. Some argue
that the main emphasis on mixed
living should be in educating up-
per classmen of its benefits so
they will seek it.
Reach White Freshmen
But others argue that students
must be reached while still fresh-
men and living in the residence
halls.
"While we can't legislate mixed
living, I believe there are many
freshmen that can be convinced
of the benefits of mixed living,"
one person remarked.
To explain the reason for in-
creasing integration cne person
said this: "A university has a re-
sponsibility, particularly in hu-
man relations, to point the way
for society, but not radically. One
way to do this is by getting )eople
of different backgrounds to live
together for the educational bene-
fits. Otherwise, we will follow so-
ciety and retain its prejudices and
misconceptions about 'different'
people."

..where you can rise
Right now you're in the process of making one of the
most important decisions of your life.
Your decision is important to us, too, because we are
interested in engineers and scientists who want to get
ahead. We're coming to the campus to give you the facts
you need to judge whether Boeing can help you reach the
goal you have in mind.
The fact that Boeing is an "engineers' company" is
important to your success. At Boeing, you'd work with,
and for, engineers-men who talk your language, under-
vancement. The company's steady, rapid growth assures
plenty of opportunities to move ahead. At Boeing, engi-
neers hold positions right to the top.
Another advantage: Boeing assignments are interesting.
You'll work on such famous projects as the 707, America's
first jet transport; the intercontinental B-52, the nation's
principal long-range jet bomber; the supersonic BOMARC
guided missile, and top-secret programs that probe beyond
the frontiers of the known. At Boeing, you'll be in a
young, expanding industry, one with its major growth
