EHR.LICH DUO ''WARM, CORDIAL, QUICK"

President-elect Thomas Ehrlich and his wife Ellen (Rome) Ehrlich knelt to receive a gift of flowers from tiny Riley Hospital patient Kyle Phelps, whose

a-<:"'L!'rllo..._~(.//IE-._.- parents gladly let their three-year-old join in the reception for the newly selected IU president. Their reaction to the child was "spontaneous, genuine and heart-warming," onlookers said. "Warm, quick, Eastern ••• " say others who met them at a nicely done reception at Riley on Mar. 7, following the trustees' unanimous agreement. The provost and

professor of law at the U. of Pennsylvania will come on board Aug. 1, replacing John Ryan who retires to work on the Campaign for Indiana. Pronounced "err-lesh" (without the "k" sound), Ehrlich is expected to continue visiting campuses, putting names to faces, before he experiences the daily heat and humidity of his first full August in Indiana. In the chore of choosing the top man for IU, Richard Stoner, president of the trustees, and trustee Harry Gonso, chairman of the search committee, traveled more then 20,000 miles interviewing candidates and reporting back to the full committee.

SEVEN GO GOOD NEIGHBORING Campus administrators Lincoln Lewis, David Robbins, Ike Levy, Barbara Jones, G. Kris Keeley, Susan Scott and Harriet Bennett have volunteered to join 93 other people in the 1987 Corporate campaign for the Indianapolis Zoo. Lincoln is captain of our team that will be spending several days seeking new money and pledge renewals.
