Skrivanek is a native Texan of
Czech ancestry, and recently co
authored “Russian Conversation
and Reading.”
Last summer Skrivanek was in
the New York-New Jersey area to
contact Russian speakers with a
native-bom command of the lang
uage. Twenty natives of Russia
taped recordings for use in con
junction with the textbook by him
self and Fedor S. Mansvetov, who
has headed the Russian language
program in the Pentagon.
“We feel we are performing a
national service by teaching the
Russian language,” Skrivanek said.
He explains an effective way to
keep track of the Communists is
to understand their technical pub
lications.
“I’ve read that the Russians, not
because they have any love for us,
have 25 million people studying
English,” he said.

marily upon superior academic
achievement, but character, initia

faculty advisor, said.
Among the charter members are
five graduate students, seven sen
iors, nine juniors and three sopho
mores.
Graduate studies in English are
in. their second year at A&M with
10 regular graduate enrollees. Gor
don Reynolds who last summer re
