othing to do in Angola? Students who are new to Tri-State Uni- versity Cand some who are not so newb, of- ten remark that there is nothing to do in Angola. It seems that once you've exhausted both of the theaters, played all seven of the video games at Danl's Lion Den, you have used up all of the available options. Not so. For the price of a few games of Donkey Kong, something that usually takes only about five minutes, you can spend an entire day of informative fun at Pokagon State Park. Located six miles north ofAngola on Old 27, the park offers numerous hiking trails, shelter houses and other recreational areas. One point of particular interest is the new Nature Center. The center is a unique six-sided struc- ture. The wall facing the woods is made entirely of glass. Because of this special set-up you may observe a number of the local animal popu- lation from the comfort of indoors without disturbing them. And that's not all. For those of you who enjoy the wilder outdoor pursuits, there are theme'l trail hikes each weekend with sub- jects as diverse as the geological history of the area to what animals do to get ready for winter. Unsupervised hiking is also avail- able for the real savage Sierra Clubers. Later in the year, cross-country skis and toboggans will be available for rental. There will also be cross-country ski tours and personal instruction. 17

Tuition 8 a Term What did it cost to attend T.S.U. 96 years ago'? Try to imagine the year is 1886. You are a student at Tri-State. Tri-State Normal College-a teachers college-opened two years ago, June 17, 1884. You arrive in Angola by train. Within minutes you locate the college. Let's see now, your letter says to go di- rectly to the President's residence. You see the President's house on the right as you enter the college grounds from the north- east. A bit tense, you go to his door and knock. The President opens the door and greets you with a smile. I-Ie shakes your hand and tells you to come in. I-Ie offers you a chair and a cup of coffee. Soon you are relaxed and ready for your first class. Just a minute, before you begin college there are some bills to pay. You get a double occupancy room for 50 cents per week. This might seem high, but it would cost 25 cents to 50 cents a week more to stay with a private family in town. You look at a room before paying. Oh yes, this is fine. The room contains carpet, chairs, ta- ble, wash stand, bowl and pitcher, stove, bed and bedding and clean sheets. You pay 51.50 per week for meals. Finally, you pay for your tuition. This is easy, only S8 per term. If you are taking advanced German, special elocution Cspeechl, phonography lspelling, writing, or shorthandj, or music lessons there is an additional charge. You could have saved money by paying for 10 weeks or 40 weeks in advance. Room, meals and tuition are S26 for 10 weeks and S90 for 40 weeks. Just think, in the year 2082, students will look at old Tri-State catalogs and wonder what it was like to live in 1982. 16 A student from 1954 moving into the dorms.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT After ten years of service, Dr. Carl El- liott. president of Tri-State University an- nounced his retirement. Elliott, 60, said he had planned to retire by 1984 since he began his tenure at TSU in 1974. As l close Tri-State's first century of service, Elliott said, I believe it is appro- priate that a new president usher in the second century. Elliott plans to remain associated with the university following his retirement, per- haps as a consultant to the Board of Trust- ees. He will continue to make his home in Angola. El1iott's tenure has been 'every delight- ful, he said. Tri-State is a unique kind of place. Most of the people associated with the university are committed to the type of educational opportunities offered here. There aren't very many places that of- fer the type of education that Tri-State does, he continued. '5There is something about it that gets to you. Elliott served as chancellor from 1959 to 1974 at the Purdue University Calumet Campus before joining Tri-State. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Indiana University, and his doctorate from Purdue University in 1952. Throughout his career he has been in- volved in numerous professional, civic and business organizations. He is a Fellow in the American Psychological Association, past president and former member of the board of directors of the Association for Continuing Higher Education, past secre- tary of the Associated Colleges of Indiana, past member of the Executive Committee of the Indiana Conference of Higher Edu- cation and vice chairman and a member of the Executive Committee of the Indepen- dent Colleges and Universities of Indiana. 18 '. 1- -1-gif -.'gfvf?.
