BERNGEN
Aggie Had
“Hot” Work
In Egypt
Some like it hot. One of those is
Frank Berngen, 20-year-old A&M
student who worked in 127-degree
temperatures last summer in
Egypt.
Berngen, junior physics major
from Chillicothe, helped plant cedar
trees and dig irrigation ditches in
the Sahara desert as part of a
soil conservation program. The
thermometer climbed to 127 de
grees in the sun and 107 in the
shade.
Young people from all over the
world, including Russia, toiled for
four weeks in an international
work camp about 100 miles west
of Cairo in the dester’s north part.
“They called the place Waidel-
natroun. It is the dried up bed of
the Natroun River,” Berngen ex
plained.
“We worked from 7:30 a. m. to
1 p. m.,” he said. “I wore a big
western hat—the others wore mili
tary caps. Their heads nearly
burned up, but I made it fine.”
Berngen said the students ate
mess hall style, with beans, tea
and a piece of tortilla-like bread
smeared with jam for breakfast.
Lunch featured water, cucumbers,
watermelons, tomatoes, rice or
noodles, carrot stew, bread and a
small piece of beef, Supper in
cluded salted cheese, dates, mangos
and cucumbers.
All of Berngen’s summer wasn’t
devoted to wprk. He spent several
weeks teaching swimming to be
ginners in Cairo. In addition, he
worked out daily with several mem
bers of Egypt’s Olympic swimming
team.
“We visited all the sporting clubs
in the area,” Berngen recalled. “At
night we would go to the National
Club where the boys in my group
were used to demonstrate swim
ming techniques. Later we played
water polo.”
Berngen is a member of the
A&M swimming team.
Visits were also made by the
group to the pyramids, the Valley
of the Kings, Aswan Dam, Port
Said and the Suez Canal.
“I was amazed by the pyramids
of ancient Egypt, but I was sur
prised that Cairo is such a modern
city. It’s thriving with 3.5 million
people and they have some fine
buildings,” Berngen said.
Air-conditioning is seldom avail
able in Cairo, he pointed out. He
remembers seeing a huge river rat
on the eleventh floor of the Nile-
Hilton. Cockroaches three inches
long were not unusual, he said.
“If you could get used to their
ways of living, you could stay in
Cairo very economically,” Berngen
explained. “Things are cheap. You
can get a government apartment
for a pound or two a month. And
you can eat off the street (not in
the best restaurants) for about $10
a month.
“The friendliness of the people
impressed me. They were helpful
and honest. I could leave my ca
mera in my room and expect to
find it there when I returned. And
if you buy something there and for
some reason decide to take it back,
they will refund your money with
out question.”
Berngen made the trip through
Operations Crossroads Africa. He
had scholarships totaling $1,150 to
make the visit.
Travel is not new to the West
Texas resident. Hes been to Europe
Thailand, Hong Kong, Alaska and
Mexico in earlier travels. And he
hopes to work next summer in
Europe as an engineer.
Berngen is a member of the
Travel Committee, SCONA X, and
is vice president of the Baptist
Student Union.
