J. Woolkett, head of the modern languages department, said. “We were one of the first schools to start teaching Russian,” Wool kett said. A&M also is described as among the first to offer third- year Russian and now becomes among the first to offer the spe cial course for doctoral students. The growing body of scientific literature in Russian is the impetus for Russian language studies. “Our undergraduate Russian courses include premedical stu dents, physicists, mathematicians, engineers and others including some liberal arts and social sci ences students,” Woolkett said. John M. Skrivanek, a native Tex an but longtime student of the Slavic languages, will teach the special reading course this sum- ■'»ti"1'«T¥ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ «" ■ ■ “Sports Car Center” ■ ■ ■ : Dealers for h mer.

Okinawa . . . Iwo Jima? On which beachhead did they find it, that cross crudely drawn in the sand ? No doubt it appeared on every blood-stained shore where gallant men of Christian faith have fallen wounded or dying! For the Cross on which Christ died has ever stood as the symbol of His Life and Truth. And often It has spoken eloquently what human lips could not frame. Is it not too little simply to honor those who have fought and died for our freedom ? Each generation must inscribe its own prayer on the beachhead of history. Religious freedom is the heart of our heritage. In a world in which Liberty must be armed to endure, faith must be practiced to be preserved. Pray for yourself, your family, your nation, your world ... in the church of your choice next Sunday. Copyright 1964, Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Va.
