It did! The improbable actually
happened at the University. The
sorority house was serene and
quiet .until a terrifying scream
suddenly resounded through the
house.
Was it possible that a man was
actually hiding in the closet of
one of the girls?
It can't be said that it is im
possible, but one of the pledges of
the sorority can give the answer.
A store maniquin, dressed in
men's apparel, would look like the
real thing to any girl who unsus

turn to Poland, not by bicycle
this time.
Devastated is the only word
to describe Poland after the
war. Rudinkow had learned
from a friend that his family
had been killed in a Polish
ghetto during the war. He re
mained in the war-torn country
for more than a year, then left
for Rome.
In Rome, he obtained a secre
tarial position with the American
Joint Distribution Committee, a
refugee welfare .organization.
During this time, he met Arthur
Greenleigh, president of the
United Service for New Orleans
and Rabbi Joseph Lookstein of
the United Jewish Appeal. Both
men became interested in Rudin
kow and helped him obtain an
American scholarship. The schol
arship was for the University of
Nebraska.
Rudinkow arrived after the
University had o f i c 1 a 1 1
opened. He began his studies
here in late September.
One of the things that im
pressed Rudinkow the most
was the friendliness of the Uni
versity students and "authori
ties." He commented that the
students don't get "excited
easily." Rudinkow stated that
all in all, he thought the U.S.
was "wonderful."
The reason? First war, then
peace, and now freedom.
