their work and education, and introduce the club and its workings to them. With this introduction the person will have knowledge of Rotary when he or she gets into the workplace. There will be a flyer on the workings of
Rotary to give them. If you know that you will have an intern or Doctoral Candidate to bring to a June meeting, please let DAVE LAHR or JANE know in advance so we can have a badge ready when you arrive.

MARGERY ISMAIL introduced Dr. Kamyar Haghighi, professor of
Engineering at Purdue since 1986, who gave us a brief overview of the cultures and history of the Middle East. Born in a Muslim family in Iran, he described the rise of Political Islam and
nationalism after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The current situation is much more complex than the simple explanations often heard, i.e., clash of civilizations, good versus evil, and blaming Islam.
