on correspondence through the
year and during this. time Costas.
definitely decided to come to "un-
iversity ' in the United, 'States, He
planned to, study electrical engin-
eering at St. Anselms College,
Manchester, New Hampshire where
relatives, resided. During the year
the death of his uncle there chang-
ed his plans and he made arrange-
ments through Lloyd to enter Uni-
versityof Waterloo. However,, a
cousin in New Hampshire encour-
aged him to follow his 'original
'plans, and because of this and par-
ental wishes that• he be close to
his relatives, he has decided to
enter the Manchester college this
fall. According to Costas, the .uni-
versity standards in the United
States are somewhat higher than
in his native Greece where , he
plans to return upon graduation in
