EGYPTIAN EMU: Eastern Michigan University professors Sally McCracken and Bette Warren display an EMU banner in front of the Sphinx in Cairo, Egypt. The two were part of a mathematics study tour sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America May 20-June 1. In addition to visiting the Sphinx, the group saw Alexandria; the pyramids of Giza; the Necropolis of Saqqara; a Nile River cruise from Luxor to Aswan with stops at the Valley of the Kings and several temples; a visit to the temples of King Ramses II and Queen Nefertari at Abue Simbel; the churches of Old Cairo; Saladin's Citadel and the Alabaster Mosque in Cairo.

EMU Spotted is an occasional feature that appears in FOCUS EMU, noting the institution's name or affiliated individuals showing up in out-of-the-way places. If you have an EMU Spotted item, call Ron Podell at 487-4400 or e-mail him at rpodell@emich.edu
