A&M 7 The Horned Froggies have al ready shown their prowess by dumping Kansas 28-0,; so Meyer’s outfit, four deep with veteran gridders amd paced by All-SWC Lindy Berry should not find the Sooner State Aggies any more trouble than the Jay hawks. ^ Although the AggjeS are favored to take the Missouri Valley title, this isn’t 1944 (Fenimore-led Ag- gies 34, TCU 0) and the Southwest Conference team should have much better talent to put on the field. Baylor 20, S. Carolina 0 That zero after South Carolina doesn’t mean we are particular high on the Bruin defense, it’s just that the prospects of the visiting Gamecocks aren’t too bright for a top season and ‘ the Bears are stronger than usual.

J,. > j i The beginners! course in Russian will be taught at A&M for the second time this year, according to Dr. J. J. Woolket, head of the‘Mod ern Language Department. The course was inaugurated for the first time last year and the. interest was high as to how successful the course would be. It has proven to be successful, Wooket said, and the second semes ter course is being offered this year. j ; *, Although Russian is not required for any degree, many stud- : ents are interested in taking the course; Frequent questions asked by those who are! interested arei^.Can one start Russian without knowing any other language ? Is much stress laid on grammar ?] | , [ The answer to the first’question is yes. However, a knowledge of venacular English will help in getting the doubly negation. v . About grammar; a group of set nllfes are annulled by many ex;- ceptions. But actually neither of these questions has anything to do with speaking and understanding a language. 1 ' f • The first look at the Russian alphabet frightens many new students. The strange letters are difficult to understand at first, hut after a fortnight of stuttering, the Russian script is said to be easier than German. ‘ ;| l j . . f] | j The grading is done on the basis of the students ability to read. This ability comes as naturally as in any other language and is often easier. The course uses the army system in. otfal training and con versation.’ j ‘ : 1 I . ’ t Many studentp hesitate to take Russian, thitiking that it may im ply that they have communistic tendencies. This is an erroneous con ception and should be completely out bf ^very student’s mind. Teach ing Russian has become widespread in -high schools and colleges of Europe, including the western democracies. Thousands of students at A&M are planning to become Army officers, certainly a knowledge of Russian would aid them. : | The future diplomats would benefit by the scientific RusahMi . magazines, published in Russian but not translated. ' It is interesting! tp note that hundreds of Russian magazines, news papers and revieyf’Si are available in this country. . ! A knowledge of Russian would help to lift the curtain woven ■part< ly by ignorance. \ 1 JNJRRAIJB Houi* and lot, than reht; 2-1628, ‘ J. K. Juittcp, Bryan Field Annex. 2l6S.M*nwrt|n make me an offer.
