========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?
