Elmquist Named First
Woman Department Head
This is the first year a depart
ment at A&M will have a woman
in its director’s chair. She is Dr.
Anne Marie Elmquist of the Mod
ern Language Department.
Born in Vienna, Austria and ed
ucated as a youth in Europe, Dr.
Elmquist received her B.A. and
M.A. at the University of Texas
in Austin and her Ph.D. in ap
plied linguistics at A&M.
She was invited to join the mod
em language department staff
eight years ago. Previous to this
she taught at Allen Junior Col
lege in Bryan and worked with
the Army Security Agency. “I
worked as a cryptanalyst in An-
nandale, Vir., a suburb of Wash
ington D.C. A cryptanalyst is one
who breaks cipher (secret
codes),” she explained, “but that
was during World War II.”
Dr. Elmquist wants to bring a
new era to the A&M campus in
respect to foreign language.
“We hope to bring more lan
guage majors to the university,
but we also plan to open minds
and show how important it is to
coordinate a modem language
with another major, say, business.
When a Japanese corporation
sends someone to sell its product
in the U.S., that salesman will be
able to speak English; and yet,
an American company will send a
person with no knowledge of the
language oversees. Another ex
ample of the necessity to know
a foreign language is the social
worker here in Texas. If he does
not know Spanish, he can't reach
a large majority of those who
need his help.”
“When attempting to learn a
foreign language,” Dr. Elmquist
noted, “the most important thing
is attitude. One has to have an
open mind and tolerance of other
people and cultures. There is a
need to learn foreign languages
in today’s world, not only for ca
reer purposes but also recrea
tional reasons. People who have
experienced European travel un
derstand the reasons for knowl
edge of a second language. They
tend to be motivated and enthu
siastic.”
A COED'S VIEW
By Louie Holzen
Dr. Elmquist said there are
plans to teach language with em
phasis on the cultural and socio
logical aspects because “students
tend to be more interested in peo
ple than in literature.”
The A&M language department
offers both basic and upper level
classes in Spanish, French, Rus
sian and Czechoslovakian. When
asked why any university would
offer Czech, Dr. Elmquist said,
“The second largest ethnic minor
ity in Texas are the Czechs. This
is reflected in the enrollment in
Czech class where a large num
ber of students have Czech last
names.”
As a woman admiinstrator, she
also finds other secrets to like,
why people hold a certain stereo
type in mind.
“We, the staff and secretaries
who work in the modem lan
guages department, often ask
people who they think I am. In
almost every case, both men and
women think I’m a secretary. Its
not prejudice, just a fixed image.
It’s the same way with women
profs; no one recognizes them as
the instructor until they start to
teach.”

Howdy! This semester I’ve hit A&M for the first time,
and Fm probably the only coed on campus named “Louie.”
Although it’s been almost eight years since women
were first accepted as a part of A&M, we are relatively still
a novelty. In relation to the coed, there are many noteworthy
idiosyncrasies in the Aggie way of life. Those of us who
are new at Aggieland have probably uncovered a few of
these already. What I’ve discovered. I’ll be sharing with
you through this column. What you’ve discovered, we’d
like to share, too. Your thoughts and views are very welcome
in The Battalion office, Room 216 of the Reed-McDonald
Services Building. Come on by, and ask for Louie.

Somehow I found myself the only girl in a classroom
full of boys Monday. This was an interesting introduction
to life at A&M. Also a great learning experience—some long
time profs seem to forget they’re now speaking in the
presence of Aggie coeds. Of course, I didn’t really mind
being outnumbered by the natives. I guess one might say
I even enjoyed it. I wish I could remind my brother Aggies
that we women aren’t all on a man-hunt, but rather, on an
“education-hunt” as well. Yet, we can’t help but run into a
few men on the way, and they do help make the education
more enjoyable . . . welcome to A&M, fellow coeds!
