Students Are Lining Up In Droves To Study
The Soviet Union
By Dacia Dorries
(CPS)—At Washington State University, faculty members
are preparing to squeeze 2,500 students into a class that only 250
normally take.
"This class is popular because it's exciting, it's now,"
explained WSU staffer Kathy Johnson.
The course isn't about music, human sexuality or even
taught by a celebrity guest lecturer. Instead, its a course students
as recently as last school year would categorize as a real snoozer:
Contemporary Soviet Society.
WSU is only one of scores of campuses where Russian
Studies, language and history courses have become amazingly
popular. Primed by the changes wrought by soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev's domestic liberalizations, foreign policy initiatives
and the political ferment now roiling Russian client states like
Poland, Estonia and Latvia, students around the United States have
been registering for classes in record numbers so far this fall.
The State University of New York at Albany, for in-stance,
has added two new sections of Beginning Russian to its
language syllabus to accommodate the new rush of interest, re-ported
SUNYA's Amber Hutchinson.
Kansas State University has had to hire a part-time lan-guage
professor for its staff, while Abilene Christian University
officials are struggling to fmd funds to start a course by next fall.
Brighan Young University simply hasn't been able to
meet the demand for Russian Studies seats, added Don Jarvis, a
language professor and president of the American Council of
Teacher of Russian (ACTR).
About 600 students—twice as many as in 1983—are
taking Russian-related courses this term at the University of Iowa.
Buying Books at the University of Iowa Enrollment in Russian related courses has
doubled since 1983
Nationwide, enrollment in Russian Language courses at four-year
campuses has increased by to percent since 1980, said Dan Davidson, the
ACTR"S director.
"This is much more than a fad, "claimed Robbie Lieberman, director of
the University of Missouri's Peace Studies department. "In the beginning, the
negative policy of the Cold War scared people into being interested. Now, with
the new political climate, we see more opportunities".
