zechs celebrate heritage this weekend
BY GRAY WHITTEN
The Battalion
celebration of their long-
anding presence in Texas,
zechoslovakian residents all
the state are observing Czech
ftage Week this week.
eribeth Novak, the president
tlub C, a Czech student organi-
n on campus and a sopho-
i general studies major, said
ities in the surrounding areas
widespread and varied.
[They had a Czech night in the
Southfork Hotel in Austin,”
I said, “and a man named Robert
is had a piano concert with
:h pianists.”
Ithough no major activities
e been planned for the
Bryan-College Station area, No
vak said Czechs across the state
were taking part in activities of
many different types.
“The UT Czech club is having
a party, and there are things going
on at a museum in La Grange,”
she said.
“Later on, there will be a fes
tival in Koppell, they’ll be fea
turing Czechs.”
Novak said the Czech popula
tion in Texas can be attributed to
the emigration of their ancestors
from Middle Eastern Europe during
the 19th century.
Citizens from the regions of Bo
hemia, Moravia, Silesia and Slova
kia made up the group from what
was then known as the Austria-
Hungarian Empire.
“There are a lot of Czech stu
dents who go to A&M,” Novak
said. “You can tell by looking at a
lot of the last names around here,
but some of them might not know
much about their heritage. ”
There are several organizations
working to benefit Czechs and their
children, Novak said.
“Most of the Czech organiza
tions offer youth programs, and
they give out scholarships to
high school and college stu
dents,” she said.
As one of the Czech groups in
the area. Club C is attempting to
gain support and increase its
membership this semester as
Czechoslovakia celebrates its 80th
birthday with Czech Heritage
Week 1998.
Another organization, the
SPJSP, which translated means
“Slovanic Benevolent Order of
the State of Texas,” is also work
ing with the group to reach a
higher visibility and involvement
in the area.
With growing support and pop
ularity, the group hopes to expand
its enrollment rapidly in the up
coming months, Novak said.
She said one of the earliest
known Czech resident in Texas is
Dr. Anthony Michael Dignowity.
Dignowity and his family settled in
the San Antonio area in 1833.
Although settlers initially found
homes in the southern part of the
state, the search for good “black-
land” for farming lead to migration
to lands in the North.
