both the state and the people. He
spoke also of the nature of the
personnel available to the empire
in carrying out its task.
Traditions Rejected
"The traditional approach of
gradual change was rejected in
favor of the rational, and of ac-
tion directed to a specific goal,"
he said. "Peter accomplished
great changes by setting a very
clear goal: imitate the West. He

did not count on gradual organic
development, but on creating the
situation he wanted."
"Immediate experience with his
reign helped reinforce willingness
to accept the state's lead," he
said.
A "relatively ruthless" leader-
ship, as compared with the French
and English nobility, played a
willful and creative role of ad-
ministration and political action
in overcoming Russia's backward-
ness," Prof. Raeff said.
Nobility Created
"The Russian nobility of the
18th century was created by the
state, because only performance
in state service counted in deter-
mining one's social status, a situ-
ation which continued until the
mid-19th century. Not only the
serfs, but merchants and other
professional groups were left out
of the country's administration;
this is one reason why the 1917
explosion was so dramatic."
"If the nobility had developed
an attitude and tradition of its
own in carrying out its work it
might have been the bridge to
connect the goal-getting func-
tions of the state with everyday
problems," Professor Raeff said.
"But for various reasons this did
not come about, at least not to
the point where it could balance
an autocratic will."
"Thus Russian government
tended to take an all-Russian,
global view of things. There was
not too much concern with prob-
lems of a regional or local nature,
and it took over half a century to
finally establish local offices of
government institutions' particu-
larly important to the daily lives
of the people."

'Russian studies started the pro-
gram," Prof. William Ballis. chair-
man of the committee on the pro-
gram in Russian studies, said.
The government's trouble in
getting personnel with knowledge
of the Russian language and of
the Soviet Union during the wcar
was a great impetus to Russian
studies programs in American'
colleges and universities. Such a
program was begun at the Uni-
versity more thanten years ago,
Prof. Ballis explained.
In addition to language train-

Student Government Council's

service will be "considerably ex-
panded" over past vacation peri-
ods, Willowpolitan committee'
chairman Daniel Murphy, '63E,
announced recently.
Seven buses will make the run
from Ann Arbor to Willow Run
and Metropolitan airports on
March 25, Murphy announced.
This is more than have run any
previous vacation.
Ticket, applications listing the
times of the runs may be obtained
in all housing units and at the
Student Activities Building. The
price of the trip to Willow Run is
$1.25, and that to Metropolitan,
$1.50.
The applications must be sent
to SOC at their office in the SAB
by March 21 with remittance en-
closed, Murphy said.
The committee is considering
the possibility of running a bus to
return from the airports the eve-
ning of April 3, Murphy said.
To obtain the information neces-
sary to do this, the committee is
requesting all those who order
tickets for the outgoing runs and
would be interested in using such
a return run to write the expected
time of their arrival on April 3
on the back of the application
card.
ing there was a greater need fo:
teachers in Russian studies. The
University's program responded
to this need also.
The departments of economics
geography, history, political sei-
ence aind Slavic languages and
literatures are included in the
program.
Committee Coordinates
Coordinating the Russian of-
ferings in these departments ie
the Committee on the program in
Russian Studies. This committee
has representatives from each de-
partment in the program. The
committee does not administer
the doctoral program but doe:
handle both the bachelor's and
master's degree programs in Rus-
sian studies. Doctoral degrees are
offered by the five departments ir
the program and combine disci-
plinary work in that departmen-
with Russian studies.
The committee has also pro-
moted the increase in Russiar
books in the library which nov
totals 50,000 volumes. Almost hal:
of these have been added in thi
last five years. The library also
subscribes to 300 different Rus-
sian journals and newspapers.
Enrollment, Faculty Increasing
Since the program has begur
the number of faculty in it hae
almost tripled.
Enrollment is also increasing
Twenty master's degrees ant
more than twice that many bach-
elor's degrees have been awarded
since the program began.
All these facts prove that "Rus-
sian studies is coming of age at
the University," Prof. Ballis said
Recent and future course ex-
pansion of the program is a goo
reason for greater interest, he ex-
plained. Two years ago the Uni-
versity began offering an inter-
departmental survey course about
the Soviet Union which is good

raphy, history, political science
