Russian Department Will Offer Slavic B

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures will probably offer a non intensive second year course in Russian next year, Albert B. Lord, chairman of the department said yesterday.

To be entitled Slavic B, the course will be an alternative to Slavic Bab, which covers a year's work in one semester. Several students now taking first year Russian have requested such a course, Lord said.

The Slavic Department has been considering Slavic B since September when a non-intensive first year course, Slavic A, was instituted. Enrollment in Slavic A was unusually high with three times as many students applying as had been expected, Lord remarked.
