Seven DP students, who came to the United States for the first time last summer, have settled into University life and are quickly becoming Americans.

Dividend among the seven Houses which collected $5,622 dollars for them last year, the students are: John Czernyha '51 of Kirkland, Anton Bajuk '51 of Dunster, Robert Grasselli '52 of Winthrop, Sergei Yermakov '5 2of Lowell, Andrys Grots '52 of Leverett, Peter Danes '52 of Eliot, and Benon Przybielski '51 of Adams.

Czernyha is engaged to a girl in Worcester. Yermakov has played on a House soccer team. Danes has taken two hour exams and received straight A's. Bajuk joined a College group listening to the Harvard-Stanford game and was the only one with a broad smile on his face. It was the first time he had heard of "football."

Their experience, and those of the three others, are surprisingly alike. All from Western Europe, their fear of Russia was stronger than their hatred of Germany.

Each has described the events leading to his arrival in America:

Med Student Dodged Reds

John Czernyha '51 was born in Poland. When the Germans invaded his Russian-occupied country in 1939, Czernyha was studying at the Lwow Medical School. Because he was actively engaged in several anti-communist youth organizations, the German invasion saved him and his family from deportation to Siberia.

It wasn't much of a blessing. Czernyha's popularity and anti-Nazi activities led to his arrest and separation from his family in 1941. He spent the next four years in concentration camps.

He was moved from Auslitz to Mauthausen to Evensee by coal train as the Russians drove dangerously close to each camp.

When he was liberated by American troops in 1945, Czernyha went briefly to Insbrook Medical School and the University of Salzburg. When lack of funds was threatening to cut short his scholastic career, he applied for and received his Harvard scholarship thorough the International Refugees Organization.

Czernyha wants to go to Graduate School next year and would like to land a job with the State Department. With information from his homeland, he is writing a book about Russian concentration camps.

Tito Minion 'Misled'

Born in the province of Slovinia in Poland Anton Bajuk '51 joined Marshall Tito's "front of liberation" in 1943 to strike back at the Germans who were oppressing his homeland.

After two months of taking orders from "higher-ups", Bajuk and many other students were fed up. "Tito's leaders claimed their only interest was fighting Germany," he says, "but it was quite apparent to many of us that they were aiming for complete political power at the end of the war. By the time we saw that our resistance movement was communist-led it was too late to change.

When the war ended in 1945 and Yugoslavia was left to Tito, Bajuk escaped to Austria and joined a small technical school in Graz, under the British military government. In his second year at the school Bajuk sent an application to Harvard.
