A Model Polish Studies Program Newsletter
is published by the Central Connecticut State University. We received two issues& Fall 1992 and Fall 1993. The reason we like it is that it represents Polish American interests in academia rather than the professional and ideological interests of academics who happen to "do" Poland. It features articles on cultural events that genuinely promote what is good about Polish culture; it publishes book reviews of books whose wider distribution is of interest to Poles; it gracefully promotes those who have contributed financially to the strengthening of Polish Studies at CCSU. The 1993 issue has a delightful photo of members of the Polish Scouting Organization which ]as Professor Wrobel reminds us elsewhere in this issue\ has done more to promote Polish studies than many a volume on "Polish topics." The Newsletter is published by the Polish Studies Program at CCSU, New Britain, CT 06050-4010.

is under reconstruction. This historical building housed Gimnazjum Panstwowe M"skie im. K. Brzostowskiego under the Second Polish Republic. Unemployment in the Suwalki region reaches 30%. Funds are scarce or nonexistent. The school's principal, Bo/enna Szynkowska, M.A., has initiated a fundraising campaign. The names of donors will be inscribed in the school's Golden Book. Send your check to the Liceum, ul. Noniewicza 83, 16-400 Suwalki, Poland. You can send it directly to the school's bank account: PBK Suwalki, account # 377809-866-131. For tax deductibility in case of a substantial donation, try a Polish charitable foundation. A bequest in your will will earn you lasting gratitude of faculty, staff and students.
