========September 5, 2015 ========= "Eriska, have you heard about the biggest treachery case in East Java higher education this year?" Sofyan asked. "What is it, Sir?" Eriska answered enthusiastically. "It was when the remaining fund for freshmen orientation faded away and served as bread for the rapacious elites," Sofyan explained. "You said faded away? Eriska asked. "That's right, Eriska. Can you guess the amount of that fund?" Sofyan said. "About ten million?" Eriska tried to guess. "You're wrong. It was about 200 million rupiahs. With that money you can get a modest house around the town," Sofyan explained. "Which campus elite would have the heart to do that, Sir?" Eriska asked curiously. "Take a guess!" Sofyan asked instead of answering. "State Islamic University of Malang?" Eriska made a guess. "No. Guess it again," Sofyan asked. "The State University of Malang?" Eriska guesse
