Abstract
Retired from Illinois State University, Dr. G. Louis Heath has compiled diary entries and poems into a compelling “good read.”
About the ISU campus, his diary recounts anecdotes such as: A student attempts to convert Dr. Heath to a new religion under the Zelkova tree in center campus as he takes the Horticulture Department’s self-guided audio-cassette tour of trees...A student arrested for stealing a street barricade almost drives over him on School Street outside DeGarmo Hall...A coed in stiletto high heels races him to see who will reach Milner Library first...A colleague jumps up at a faculty meeting to give a cheer for the new departmental refrigerator, only to be met with disbelieving stares...The Normal, Illinois police burst into a student party and bust one of Dr. Heath’s students, among others...He absentmindedly puts his briefcase on the top of his car and drives through town, losing it, and having to search for it...The College of Education’s first faculty meeting of the year degenerates into the administrators’ “mooning” the faculty from the stage of Stroud Auditorium...
