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.

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

In September, 1981, Dr. Gene R. Kritsky and his wife Yvonne went to Egypt for about ten months. He was there as a Ful- bright professor. Fulbright program is a long-term State Department program to help improve the relationship between the U.S.A. and other countries. Dr. Kritsky took an intensive Arabic lan- guage course for two weeks in Cairo. He taught science and agriculture at Minya University in El Minya. He gave a seminar in Ains Shams and Tanta Universities. He did not have many difficulties in communi- cating with Egyptian students, because sci- ence students are required to use English. In agriculture class, he used 6096 lecture in German Language. Compared with his students at T.S.U., his Egyptian students are an equivalent B or C average. This is because they are not used to reading the books. Books are so ex- pensive and the average Egyptian blue-col- lar worker earns about S45 per month, so the students cannot afford to buy them. They just read 20 pages of xerox-copy for the whole semester, which they have bought from their professor. When he was there, he gave 135 pages of handouts and books. While Dr. Kritsky and his wife were in Egypt, they went to many places such as Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, and Asyut. He mentioned that the Egyptians are very nice, a lot of fun, and very hospitable. Dr. Kritsky and his wife would like to visit Egypt again if they have another chance. TE MO THS IN EGYPT 5... x' B' 'S' si? if .X-axa. ,.,. ,W - .f t .kg Ten Months in Egypt ii 1 f v 1 -1- af .
