Having lived in the country all my life, I was a little less than enthusiastic when my husband's work brought us to the city,'. However, it didn,t take long for Angola's charm to captivate me and I soon began to enjoy living here. It is impossible to just 'fpass through Angola, for one must drive around the Monument. The Monument, which was built in tribute to all those of Steuben County who fought in the Civil War, is An- golais most obvious feature. Just a few blocks from the monument is Tri-State University. Primarily an engi- neering school, it offers degrees in business and education. Tri-State is known literally around the world for it's excellance, and has the foreign enrollment to prove it. I am grateful for the unique opportunity that Tri-State has presented me. I've met and made friends with people from all over the world, some I might never have had the chance to meet if it had not been for Tri- State University. With more than a hundred lakes located within driving distance, people from all over make Angola their summer home- town. While some towns have their urban plight and bankruptcy, the biggest contro- versy I can remember since moving here was the great stop light debate. Some felt a stop light was needed to control traffic, while others believed it would only back up traffic at the circle. Despite the disagree- ment, a traffic light was erected and Ango- la lost it's claim to fame as the largest city in the nation without a stop light. Life in Angola seems to opitomize small town living. It's a town where you may meet the mayor at the grocery store, or see the chiefof police mowing his lawn. It's a place where the drug stores still have coffee counters and the man who works at the lumber company is also a volunteer fireman and may save your home someday. Itss go- ing to the fourth of July parade and know- ing the people in it. I m'ay not be a native Angola-ite, but I don't think I could appreciate this lovely town more ifl had lived here all my life. l've fallen in love with this place and would hate to ever leave it. Lu Anne Hook Oberlin Eight year resident of Angola and wants to stay.

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 .

BILLY SU D Y RET IRE AFTER YEARS ss. lf. f 4 41 ff ,if , , , fs' 4 V. , . I ts J ,id 1... Billy E. Sunday, Vice President and Treasurer ofTri-State University, retires this year after 37 years of service to the school. His departure is really the end ofan era. He is the last link between Tri-State's past and present, said Dr. Carl Elliott, President of Tri-State University. Mr. Sunday has seen seven Presidents come and go since coming to Tri-State as an accountant in 1946. He was named Treasurer in 1948. Dr. Elliott continued, lt is my feeling that Tri-State is even in existence in large part due to Billy Sunday's concern, care and devotion to the university. Natives of Steuben County, Billy Sunday, and his wife, June, will continue to live and serve in the community. Zl
