WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1961 Russian-Speaking Coeds To Open 'Slavic Center' “The Slavic Center,” an experiment in an all Russian speaking living unit, will be undertaken this term by nine coeds who will live in the Myra Dock Home Management House. The coeds participating either speak Russian fluently or have completed at least one year’s study of Russian The idea for the experiment was born last spring in an in formal conversation between Dean of Women Dorothy J. Lipp, Dr. Thomas Magner, head of the Slavic Department and organizer of the project, and two of the coeds who will participate in the center, Magner said. One of the coeds, Goldie Laris, junior in Russian from Ambridge, said that the group will speak only Russian in the house. She also said that with the help of Dean Lipp and Magner, the group will plan various educational programs to be held both in the experi ment house and at dinners which are to be provided in the staff dining room in Redi fer. Plans are being made to have campus experts and visitors in the field of Russian studies and related affairs speak at the din ners. Miss Laris said one evening a week will be devoted to enter tainment programs dealing with the Russian language and the So viet Union. She said that male students in the Slavic Depart ment will be invited to partici pate in these programs. The coeds in the experiment house will be on an honor sys iem with the approval of the dean of women's office. There will be no hostess in residence.
