FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK The District H meeting is this Sunklay, April 15, at Lodge No. 80 in Holland. See letter and agenda in "Letters" section. Attend your district meeting!

All students of Czech are advised to carefully consider and read (or reread) 'Professor Jos. Skrivanek's letter in last week's issue. You may say that the opportunity "rare in this lifetime" is presented to yott! The opportunity for a certain number of you to spend approximately three months studying at the Charles University in Prague (Praha) and visit and see the historical sights of Czechoslovakia at very little expense to you. ° An archive of Czech language materials has been organized at Brown University by Professors Antonin Dostal and Henry Kueera. At this time it contains a computer-accessible corpus of contemporary standard Czech • assembled under the direction of Prof.

Kneera. The corpus is a body of approximately 200,000 words of texts, cod. ed for processing on any general purpose computer. It is divided into one hundred samples of about 2,000 words each. The samples were selected by a variety of random procedures from fourteen genre categories, covering the full range of prose styles and subject matter. Most of the texts were

COUNT YOUR WEALTH Cash low? Short of dough? That's a common ailment this time of year.

But think of the things money can't buy: Money can't buy friendship It must be earned.

Not a clear conscience.

Square dealing is the price tag.

Money can't buy good health.

Right living is time secret.

It can't buy happiness. That is a mental attitude.

Money can't buy sunsets, nor singing birds. They are as free as the air we breathe.

Money can't buy inward peace.

Nor can it buy character Make a list of your priceless possessions. You'll find you are rich as Rockefeller, How big is your list? lisped in th.e 1.950's and 1960's. The Czech corpus, being suitable for computer processing, offers a source for lexical and syntactic studies of the Czech language.

Professor Dostal has begun work on a collection of materials relating to Czech as spoken ( and written) in the U.S. and Canada. The collection is set Wp to comprise the following materials:

(a) tape recordings of speakers of Czech in the 'MS.; (b) programmed questionnaires filled in by Czech living in the U.S.: (c) recordings and transcripts of Czech folklore in the U.S:. (d) bibliographic material relating to Czech language text printed in the U.S.; (e) address of Czech organizations, schools and universities which teach Czech, Czech newspapers, and other bodies interested in the Czech language.

The purpose of this collection is to allow future studies on the development of Czech through various levels of linguistic assimilation and under conditions of varying interference of English (or in Canada: .

The letter was answered by your editor and the 32 Czech lessons sent to her. In 1960, wdicn yours truly became editor, we started saving excess copies of the Vestnik and clipped the lessons from them. To date we have stilt 21 sets ul 32 lessons to interested readers. We sent Mrs. Splawn one of these sets and information where to order her material. We congratulate her and wish her success.

Lubbock, Texas Dear Sir: In each issue of the Vestnik there is a lesson "13Cme se Cesky." I would like to have the whole book of these lessons. Is there one that I could buy? I am interested in both for the beginners and advanced students. I Dian to teach the Czech language here at the Texas Tech University and this would be very helpful to me.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely, Vlasta. Splawn 3413 Canyon Rd. Lubbock, Texas 79403 Life insurance is still a bargain for the family.

In these days of rising prices, it is unusual to find one essential item that is going down, The item is the over-all average premium. paid for life insurance.' According to the Institute of Life Insurance; the average premium payment for each $1,000 of life insurance to force in the U.S. decreased from V390 in 1951 to $14.70 in 1971, a reduction of about 45 per cent over the last two decades.

This figure is reached by dividing the premiums received by life companies that year lry the total of life, insurance in force (luring a year.

The figure obtained is of course hypothetical, since it does eat represent the actual SMITS paid by individual policyholders for the insurance that they own. Generally the family. pays the same annual premium- for a policy, once it is purchased

Wednesday, April 11, 1073 although future dividends on participating insurance may vary and affect costs. An overall average figure is useful, however, in tracing trends in relative costs for all policyholders regardless of the types of policies they own.

How is it possible that the average premium per $1,000 of life insurance is going down despite inflatation pressures?

For one, there are changes in the purchasing patterns of life insurance.

For example, the expasion of group life insurance in the past two decades has aided the downward trend in cost.

This is because, group life is chiefly term insurance and its premiums are generally lower than comparable individual policies. At the end of 1971, 39 per cent of life coverage was group insurance compared with 21 per cent in 1951.

Reduced overall premiums also reflect lower death rates, To illustrate, between, 1940 and 1968 the death rate per 1;900 persons in the United States dropped from 10.8 to 7.5. for the average A third reason premium rate drop is the increased earnings on the funds that life companies invest in the economy of the United States. The earning rate on these funds, which are invested on behalf of policyholders, increased from 3.18 per cent in 1951 to 5,44 per cent in 1971.

Still another influence on the overall average premium rate decrease has been the growth in the average size of ordinary life policies purchased in recent years. Institute figures show that in 1951, the average new ordinary policy was 3,260. This compares with $11,670 in 1971. Companies generally offer premium discouitts on larger policies, reflecting savings in sales and administrative costs.

In addition, the overall premium rate decrease has been influenced by the cost control efforts that have come mainly from automation developments in the life insurance business.

CZECH LANGUAGE AT AMERICAN TN1 VERSITIES In recent month we have quiet frequently featured write-ups and information dealing with the increasing interest in the study of Czech language at American universities, The two universities most often mentioned in that connecton were the A&M University of Texas and the University of Nebraska. According to the information received from Professor John Jarolimek, who teaches Czech at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, there are now over forty teachers of Czech and Czech literature at various American universities. Needless to say, we have been pleasantly surprised to learn that Czech courses are offered at the following universities and colleges; New York University, New York; University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois; Wisconsin University of Madison, Madison, Wisconsin; SUNY College at Oswego, New York, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois (full

Czech is also taught in summer courses at the University of Denver, Denver, Colorado. In the coming term CZech courses are to be introduced also at the Iowa State University, Iowa City, In. Professor Chas. E. Townsend teaches informative courses of Czech language to interested students at Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. In the Winter Quarter 1972 a course - in Czech language was offered to some six graduate students (Introduction to Czech language) of of Bomarton — Editor.

Ohio State University, Columbus, O. On private tutorial basis is Czech offered at the Tulane University of Louisiana, New Orleans. In translation some Czech literature is available at the SUNY at Albany, New York. Until recently, Czech courses were offered also at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass.

We have . decided to point $the lenghty list not merely for the general information of our readers. We hope it may be useful to all readers of the Oeskoslovensk3"7 Svet in America who are interested in Czech language or Czech literature and lack information as to where the language is being taught.

23 6 OW GULF COAST INTERNATIONAL FOLK FESTIVAL Dear Members and Readers, The first Gulf Coast International Folk Festival, held at the Moody Center in Galveston on March 21th and 25th, was a fantastic success.

Even though Lodge 173, Galveston, undertook this on a local lodge level, they represented the SPJST in its entirety. We can all be very proud of the image left with everyone who visited the "Czech Pantry Shop." Their warm and friendly hospitality was the talk of all the participants and visitors alike.

The Folk Festival was a most unusual event in the light that there was harmony throughout both days.

No one was unkind or spoke harshly of anyone el,e. There was competition, of course, teat it was done in a true sportsmanlike manner. The people who made bp the "folk" in the festival (and it was truly a festival) ranged from the very young I o the very old . each proud of their heritage and eager for others to know of it.

The members of Lodge 173 planned and developed their magnificently, decorated booth down to the most minute detail. There were many, many, hard working members who made their contribution to its success, but the three-member Entertainment Committee deserves recognition for their untiring efforts. (This is a big misnomer as they were completely worn out come Sunday night). The committee is composed of Audrey Kaluza, Jerry Jerrikovski and Johnny Valusek.

The accordion nmsic by members of Lodge 173, both on the stage and in the booth was enjoyed by all and visitors especially enjoyed the dancing done by the lodge members in their costumes.

We cannot honestly think back to this happy weekend without remem-

bering the many new friends we made: the, petite Japanese lady who so gingerly tasted her first sausage and sauerkraut dinner; the Lebanese people who came over 4 or 5 times a clay and ordered only a plate of sauerkraut and raved about the exhibit of Czech Culture; the Irish man who took the challenge to prove he was a high tepper by participating in a Philippine bamboo dance; the lovely ancl lively Polish people who deligh d us with their dancing abilities; there were so many more that it would take too much room to name thtni. We surely couldn't get by without mentioning the talent and beauty of the Lebanese dancers.

The Choral Group from Houston really outdid themselves singing. The fact that they performed in Czech dress added to the festivities.

Those of us who spent some time at the Folk Festival with these wonderful Galveston SPJSTers went home with a renewed spirit, of true fraternalism.

As you can tell, we had a grand time learning to know more about our fellow Americans and learning to appreciate more and more the friendships we have made with our Czech brothers and sisters.

Once more, it is urged that you try visiting other lodges and experience first hand true benevolence, humanity and brotherhood.

Can you believe that after all that cold, wet, soggy winter weather, we finally enjoyed a run of the prettiest spring days? An,d another wonderful thing came to pass; all of our prisoners of war are out of Vietnam and back with their families. Hope that after eating rice for so long over there, they had money enough to buy some of

by Brother Alvin Nesuda). that high price beef, so they wouldn't have to resort to horsemeat.

Now for something else. All of us know the University of Texas and Texas A8zM University, and also some lessor schools are teaching the Czech language courses. What would it mean to all of us if our great University of Houston would be added to that list of Czech-teaching colleges? Well, it can very well happen and, hopefully, this. fall. After all, Czech is the No. 3 ethnic language spoken in the state of Texas. I mentioned in my last letter that a group of representatives from different societies, including Bishop John Morkovsky, representing the Houston-Galveston Diocese, attended a meeting at the University of Houston to discuss the possibility of Czech language courses being initiated, and possibly, this coming fall. The discussions were very pleasant and encouraging, but in this undertaking, like in any other, there are always at least minor problems to overcome. I am therefore enclosing an excerpt from a letter mailed to all attendants of the meeting by Dr. Calvin Carman of the University of Houston.

"I am writing to you at this time to ask in what ways it may be possible to secure your support of our efforts to establish a program of Czech studies.

As both Dean Ronald Bunn and I explained in the meeting we had with you, the first two years will be the most difficult for us to finance. What I need

lu

VASTNfIC

to know at this time, therefore, is what support you could provide over the next two or three years. In general, the most appropriate forms of support would be funds for books, audiovisual materials, lectures, special programs, and scholarship aid for students who enroll in the Czech courses."

From this excerpt from the letter we can see that three is a little financial problem, but not too great to overcome. And, by all means, the more we commit ourselves to the support of this program or new project, tne more it can oe expanded and assured of success. Now what can we do to help?

Some groups and individuals have already committed their support, and at the April meeting of Lodge 88, we certainly intend to make a good account of ourselves for this deserving cause. I therefore urge all lodges, especially the ones near Houston, to make every effort to come up with a, contribution according to their means and rules and regulations. This appeal is also extended to all individuals for in numbers there is strength. And time is important, so if you are interested in seeing Czech language courses become a reality at the University of Houston, make your checks to "SPJST Czech.

Courses Fund," and address them to Emil Horelica, 228 W. 31st Houston, Texas 77018.

All the donors' names will be printed in the Vestnik so we may keep up with our progress.

Now, before I close, let me say that the very recent replay of "She's My Daisy" at Lodge 88 was very well pre-sented and very well enjoyed; even by tz,060 u, us wno went to see it the seaond .6iine. Compliments to the entire cast, in and behind the scene. `Watch the Vestnik for many other nice things, happening at Lodge 88, but don't forget your commitment to he Czech language courses at the U.

Thank you all.

S. J.S.T. REST HOME NO. I Taylor, Texas, April 2, 1971 Dear Members: The SPJST Rest Homes Directors had a meeting in Taylor, Texas, Sunday,' April 1st to elect a new Administrator for the Rest Home No. 1 in Taylor, Texas. The last man they elected,

en February 1st this year, didn't show up for work.

The Directors had three applicants to choose from; they decided on lovely Sister Frances Schwenker as our new Administrator of S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. 1 in Taylor. The guests and workers of this home are happy about it, because they knew what they have but didn't know who they were going to get.

Mrs. Frances SChwenker's three daughters and her husband Stanley, are one hundred percent members of Lodge Praha for many years and are interested very much in our organization, especialy in our S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home in Taylor, Tex. The Directors made a wise choice.

HOUSTON, TEXAS Editor Sefcik, Just a brief bit of information to inform our readers of the serious interest shown regarding Czech courses at University of Houston.

Over a thousand signatures have been received from persons who feel Czech courses should be offered at University of Houston. However, the most important fact it that to date — 131 persons have indicated they would seriously be interested in taking Czech courses at U of H if they are offered. I feel this certainly shows there is a definite interest in learning the Czech language and culture.

Sincerely, Sister Edith Karas JARS'IA, GOSS BLOSSOM ON HILLTOP

By Dwayne Hartnett What a difference a year makes.

Or in the case of Southern Methodist University gridders Don Jarma and Randy Goss, a new head coach.

Jarma and Goss have never played a down of varsity football for the Mustangs. But the twosome, virtually unknown before last Saturday's scrimmage, already show signs they could see considerable .notion when SIVIU makes its debut under Dave Smith this fall.

A redshirt sophomore, Jarma has clearly battled his way into the quarterback picture as the Ponies continue their switch to the Wishbone-T under Smith.

Goss, whose prior exposure mainly

Wednesday, April 11, 1973 was people confusing him with last year's split end starter, Randy J. Goss, vaulted into prominence on the strength of his lin.ebacking play in the first contact session of spring drills.

He was credited with six tackles, and five assists.

Both players took Smith at his word when he said all positions "were wide open." Jarma, a schoolboy quarterback Lake Highlands, merely picked up where he left off last fall, whereas Goss, an offensive lineman for the 1972 frosh, asked for the shot at linebacker.

I just want a fair chance, and I'm getting it," says Jarmo., who directed the third offensive unit to three scores in the lengthy scrimmage. One of the scores came on a 65-yard bomb from Jarma to split end Freeman Johns, another relatively obscure Mustang.

Jarma, who rushed for 54 yards on 9 carries, sees the switch to the Wishbone-T possibly giving him a slight advantage over other Pony quarterback hopefuls, including holdover starter Keith Bobo, "I ran the Flying Wishbone my freshman year, and it's similar in some ways," adds Jarma.

"I think we can throw the ball off the Wishbone. I sure like the routes.

People think the Wishbone is just three yards and a cloud of dust, but I think it's a lot more explosive than most wide-open attacks. I love it, because I'm getting a chance to run it, even with a starting quarterback returning. I think that's the big thing about the new system, everybody is getting a chance."

Goss, who packs 225-pounds on his 6-1 frame, drew plaudits from defensive coordinator Tommy Lucas after the 'scrimmage. He joins Jarma in feeling that he has benefited in the coaching chance. "Coach Smith told us when he came here that every position was open and everybody was going to have to go out and make a spot for himself", offers Goss.

"I'm keeping that attitude and I'm going out with what I've got.

"Old coaching systems are such that they tend to rely on the players they' ye worked with in the past. And a new coaching system gives an equal chance to the younger and redshirted players. I think the morale is great because of this."

It is the will of God, we haven't anything to say Sometimes we are tired, lonely and blue There is a door to heaven open to all, me and you.

Without you there isn't anything the same.

VITAMIN E CONTROVERSY Contrary to advertisements, there is little foundation for claiming vitamin E a miracle cure-all, one authority said recently.

"Although this nutrient is essential for good health, it isn't everything it's promoted as being," Karen Kreipke, food and nutrition specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas A&M University, contended.

"Studies and clinical trials fail to link vitamin E with 'curing' heart disease, cystic fibrosis, blood disorders. leg ulcers, diabetes and miscarriages," she emphasized.

"Actually, very little is known about the vitamin.

"It functions in the body as an antioxidant and helps red blood cells live as long as they should.

"Small amounts of the vitamin are stored in various body organs, muscle and fat tissues.

"A fat-soluble vitamin, it requires presence of fat and bile salts for absorption.

"There's little chance that a person eating; a well-balanced diet will lack vitamin E since most common foods contain modest amounts," Miss Kreipke added.

"Estimated adult daily requirement is 25-30 International Units — the average U. S. diet furnishes 2-66 IU daily.

"Best food sources are leafy vegetables, whole-grain food products and fats — especially vegetable oils," the specialist concluded.

Capitals are not used for emphasis or for news headlines in Czech. On the whole the use of capital letters is rather restricted in Czech.

Here are other important points in spelling: Pronouns and progressive adjectives of the POLITE - FORMAL usage are capitalized, as are those of the . FAMILIAR - INFORMAL usage: Vy, Vam VA:A; Ty, Tvid, 'robe, The latter are ALWAYS in caps; the polite form is capitalized only when reffer to one person. If you are referring to a group (plural), then the pronouns a./..0 not capitalized.

A common error made by niany Czech in this area is that when they use the formal Vy, Vas, Vain, they use a PLURAL verb, although they aro addressing only one person. WRONG: Vy, (1 person) jste yeera jell do mesla.

RIGHT. Vy jste jel do mesta. DO NOT USE A PLURAL VERB UNLESS YOU ARE SPEAKING TO MORE THAN ONE PERSON.

Lekce etrnacta — Lesson No. 14 Rules of spelling and punctuation.

The Czech alphabet possesses the ability of rendering the quantity of vowels by the use of the earka, and the palatal sound of the three uonsona d', t' To further increase the number of sounds and letters, the haeek or caret is used for some hushing sounds. s c — e, z r— As indicated previously the following are hard consonants: d, t, n, h, ch It and r. If these hard consonants are followed by the pIt Bit sound, the sound must be spelled with a y or Y thusly: chytrj, kdyby (byl) tyden kytice ryti• iitdnjr ehybnjr The soft consonants are d', t` , e„ i and also c and j. If these are followed by the ee (bee, see) sound, the sound must be spelled with an The pronoun RI is not capitalized: or 1, thusly: neither do we capitalize adjectives and divat eislo adverbs indicating nationally. (This tieho •izek is done in English). Ex.: Main ecskou cizinec zivy Zenu. (I have a Czech wife). Mluvime jiskra sift eesky. (We speak Czech).

Words, with i or I in their root are Punctuation marks are the same in in the vast majority.

Commas are used before and after letters in Czech and English. Ex.: a relative clause: Ztratil jsem knihu, Yesterday was Wednesday, July 14, kterou mi dal.
