fellow students there. Lajos had come there from a small town in Ohio and András from the large metropolis of New York City. One was a Roman Catholic and the other was raised in the Reformed church tradition. One was majoring in languages and the other in political science. But, while working on their Ph.D.s in the bayous of Cajun Country, the two became friends and pondered the future of Hungarian life in America. This friendship, which has continued over the years, has led to a number of contributions toward the maintenance of the Magyar élet in the U.S. Eventually, Lajos and András founded the Itt-Ott quarterly magazine which today reaches about 900 subscribers with articles in Hungarian about cultural, historical, and literary topics. Another joint-venture has been the establishment of a college credit summer program of Hungarian studies (including language study) for six weeks at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio, with credit granted through Portland State University in Oregon. The Hungarian summer week at Lake Hope is but another of their attempts to devise ways of “bringing Hungarians together” in a variety of settings. Since almost all of those who attend the Itt-Ott summer experience enjoy talking and communicating in Hungarian, it provides a unique opportunity for those of us who do not come into close contact with many Hungarians in our everyday lives, to once again become immersed in a “Hungarian world” without taking a trip to Toronto or buying a plane ticket to Budapest. After spending some time listening to the language again and then listening some more, after taking a few faltering steps in communicating in Hungarian, our mind eventually “gets in gear” and recalls the words we may have only spoken many years ago. In short, we again become acclimated to listening and talking in Magyar in an informal vacation-type atmosphere. From that standpoint, it is a unique and fun experience. Since all of the literature describing the Itt-Ott summer week is written in Hungarian, you may never before have heard about this “little Hungary” in the “new world” which is held annually at America’s Lake Balaton—at Lake Hope State Park in Ohio. But if you enjoy the out-of-doors and truly want “a change” for your vacation in 1985 leave your tuxedos and the like at home and head for the hills of southeastern Ohio, near Nelsonville. Sample it for a few days or sign up for seven nights. For information, contact: László Bojtos, 7000 Hilton Road, Brecksville, Ohio 44141.
