Graduate studen of Polish politic; By MARY PEARSON Administrative reporter Manv neonle in Poland dislike their government's policies, USC graduate student Anita Floyd said at a lunch-time lecture Monday. Floyd said she met many Poles who had a negative attitude about Poland's socialistic system of government. "They have been righting some type of government oppression in small ways for the last 180 years," she said. Floyd traveled to Poland this past summer to observe the culture, learn the language and attend a special program at the Catholic University in Lublin. She brought back with her the story she shared with about 25 professors and students at the Government and International Studies brown-bag luncheon. "I spent six weeks in Poland. The climate was pretty cool. It was like a Canadian summer. Somedays, though, the temperature climbed into the 80s," Floyd said. During the luncheon she centered on the story of Polish priest and Solidarity activist Jerzy Popieluszko, who was kidnapped and murdered by police in 1984. "Popieluszko's grave is shaped like the land of Poland. It is ringed by huge stones connected to look like a rosary with a cross at the end. The cross is actually Popieluszko's tombstone. This has become like a shrine to pay homage to his efforts," Floyd said. "This is very typical of the way the Polish combine the religious and political symbolism to represent the r'UuroK'c r/\ln in tKo rncictnnr?n clio cai/1 1 'Tim nrO\/P CltA v^iiuivrii 3 i uit in uiv oiiv oaiu. i iiv 51 u?w jhv is very political. People come there to find out about the story of his life and about the trial of his convicted murderers." During her stay in the country, Floyd visited the Polish cities of Lublin, Gdansk, Warsaw and Krakow. "I have a very pessimistic view about Poland," Floyd said. "The country is tremendously in debt of $20 million. Many citizens cannot buy the Polish wine, foods or cheese because they are only available for export. The housing problem is persistently dreadful. Scattered about the cities are ugly apartment blocks."

L She said the trade union movement was tremendouslv i succcssful. Solidarity members were able to negotiate with ftp the government to push for better working conditions and eg higher wages. Polish intellectuals also joined the move- | ment to fight for political reforms in Poland. N A crisis soon developed, Floyd said.

That support is just not there. It is difficult for me to see a compromise. People are adamant about their opposition to the system."
