Czech Teachers Visit ‘Old Country’
Czech teachers in several Tex
as schools gained proficiency and
confidence this summer in a
study-travel program in Czechos
lovakia.
Fourteen students returned re
cently from six weeks intensive
study in the project organized at
A&M.
“The students got more than
they anticipated,” observed Jos
eph J. Skrivanek Jr., TAMU
Czech professor who directed the
program.
The Modern Languages profes
sor said excellent relations were
built between the U.S. and Czech
oslovakia, students invested their
teaching abilities with enriching
experiences and Czech officials
invited the group back next sum
mer, to complete the 12 semester
hours program.
Students selected for their
background in Czech spent six to
eight hours a day in class at
Charles University in Prague.
Spare time was devoted to mu
seum visits, attending the opera
and other activities to expand
the students’ cultural knowledge.
Weekends were crowded too,
with bus tours. One event was a

A&M Economist
Studying Brazos
An A&M economist has start
ed detailed planning for a study
to determine the feasibility of
making the Brazos River naviga
ble for barge traffic from Free
port to Waco.
Cong. W. R. (Bob) Poage of
Waco and Secretary of Agricul
ture Earl Butz previously an
nounced award of a $12,000 grant
to A&M to explore possibilities
for running barges as far as
Waco, some 211 air miles from
the Gulf port. The funds were
provided by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture’s Rural De
velopment Program.
The study will be directed by
Dr. M. L. Greenhut, who holds
the title distinguished professor
of economics and is international
ly recognized for his work in re
gional economic development.
In establishing general guide
lines for the study, Dr. Greenhut
met earlier this week with Dr.
Lloyd Taylor of Houston, a pri-

trict development in Congress
man Poage’s office.
Greenhut said the study’s ini
tial phase will be aimed at deter
mining the economic advantages
of such a project.
“In the early stages, we will
be primarily interested in deter
mining how much economic ad
vantage would accrue to existing
interests if the Brazos were navi
gable,” the A&M professor ex
plained.
He said the study will start by
determining what exists along
the river at the present time—
precisely what types of agricul
tural and industrial activities are
conducted within 50 miles, for
example, of the river.
The A&M professor said a sec
ond-phase economic study — pro
vided the first phase indicates
favorable prospects—w o u 1 d in
volve evaluating “regional eco
nomic impact multipliers” stem
ming from new activities which
would be induced to locate in the
region.
“In short,” he expplained, “we
would seek to determine what
new agricultural or industrial en
terprises might be expected if
barge capabilities were available
for transportation to the Gulf.”
In addition to the studies show
ing probable effects on the area’s
economy, Dr. Greenhut empha
sized studies also must be con-
ducted regarding engineering
feasibility and the environmental
considerations.
Kodak Presents
Grant To CE’s
The Department of Chemical
Engineering in A&M’s Graduate
College has received a research
grant from the Eastman Kodak
Company’s Educational Aid Pro
gram.
A&M is one of 39 colleges and
universities throughout the coun
try receiving such a grant. Each
grant ranges from $4,000 to $10,-

reseai-ch in fields related to Ko
dak’s own research and develop

‘QUALITY FIRST”
two-day folk festival at Straz-
nice, Moravia.
Supported by the Czech Minis
try of Education, the trip led to
six semester hours credit in
Czech through A&M’s Modern
Languages Department.
Skrivanek said Czech officials
and Charles University went “far
beyond agreed arrangements to
make the experience an extreme
ly successful one for myself and
the students.”
Eleven professors, all special
ists in their fields, volunteered to
help. They were sandwiched into
the program for two-hour lec
tures each.
On one bus trip, the group
stopped to watch repairs being
made to a church. Discussion and
a party ensued, which one stu
dent called “the most educational
thing we’ve done.”
A sendoff feast was spread at
which the officials “talked to
everyone to see how they liked
the program and to take sug
gestions,” Skrivanek related.
“Most of them made a long trip
to see the kids off at the air
port too.”
Skrivanek, whose family came
to the U. S. from Czechoslovakia
in the 1800s, got to visit the old
family home at Zelechovice, a
small town near Gottwaldov in
Moravia.
“I sat in the same kitchen my
great grandfather sat in as a
boy and it was much the same,”
the A&M professor said.
The program was built on an
observation made earlier by the
Skrivanek brothers, that “no one
has any business teaching a lan
guage without visiting the coun
try and getting firsthand experi
ence in the culture.”
“I know now what you mean,”
one student informed Skrivanek.
“I feel much more confident aft
er this six weeks.”
Participating students and
teachers were from A&M, Texas
A&I, UT-Austin, Temple Jun
ior College and El Campo.
Insurance Board
Orders Reduction
True to its promise, the State
Board of Insurance ordered an
average statewide reduction of
4.3 per cent in private auto cov
erage premiums, estimating 90
per cent of motorists will save at
least $25 million. New rates are
effective August 27.
Further, according to Board
Chairman Joe Christie, the com
petitive rating law September 1
will mean further savings for
many. Christie said one company
has indicated it will ask authority
to cut its rates 15 per cent across
the board when the competitive
rating law takes effect.
Another law passed by the
legislature this year, however,
may cancel out the savings for
some and actually bring a slight
increase. The personal injury pro
tection coverage of at least $2,500
for medical expenses and lost
earnings or services due to acci
dent, regardless of who was at
fault, will be added to all policies
automatically unless motorists re
ject it in writing.
Christie said even rejections
written on “brown paper sacks”
will be considered valid. P. I. P.
coverage costs $22 to $44, but
many will substitute it for medi
cal coverage which already costs
$15 to $22 a year.
