Graduation means paperwork (gowns) By MICHAEL KESTEN Of the Emerald Mid-terms. Finals. Headaches. More mid-terms. More headaches. More finals. Nervous breakdowns. Then one day, the light at the end of the tunnel... Graduation I So what has to be done? What’s it going to be like? Everyone who expects to graduate should have filed a de gree application with the registrar by now. It was due by the end of the third week of this term. The registrar checks the student s registration, degree re quirements and the grades at the end of this term. They also get the student's major cleared with the appropriate department. At the next step, the student receives a degree analysis that tells whether incompietes need to be made up and so forth. All loose ends, such as incompietes or transcripts from the other schools, must be taken care of and recorded by the regis trar by June 18. After the registrar determines who is going to graduate, they order the diplomas. University Re lations reports that most graduates won’t receive their de grees until August. Mary Hudzikiewicz, of Univer sity Relations says 2,177 people have applied to graduate this term. Applicants whose names will automatically appear on the ceremony program have been Independent berates Feds By BILL LUTZ Of the Emerald Tonie Nathan, independent candidate for the 4th Congres sional District, believes the federal government should be decen tralized and that decision making should be returned to the people. Nathan spoke to about a dozen people at the Women's Aware ness Center at Lane Community College Thursday. Calling herself a Libertarian, Nathan said she believes all Americans are oppressed by an “all pervasive’’ government which "controls our lives." “We have given the responsibil ity of decision-making to the gov ernment at the same time giving up our independence.” Nathan went on to criticize the government for overspending, manipulating the economy to aid private interests, creating a black market in drugs through drug laws, lying to the public and gen erally forcing values on the peo ple. Issues which concern the peo ple of Oregon should be handled on a state level or even on the county level, according to Nathan. "The role of the congressper son is to protect civil rights and to enact national security; to be a watchdog on the federal govern ment." Nathan said the Congress should spend more of its time on foreign policy. On the question of South Africa Nathan said, "I don't think we should support any country that doesn't give its citizens civil rights." She also criticized the present Congress. "We don't have lead ers in Congress, we have con gressmen who respond to pres sure wherever it comes from," Nathan said. "My idea of a con Reagan plans Corvallis stop Republican presidential challenger Ronald Reagan is planning a major speech in Corvallis on Sunday. Reagan's address will begin at noon at Gill Coliseum on the Oregon State University campus. Reagan's campaign got off to a slow start, and he was dose to leaving the race, but victories in North Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma turned his campaign around and despite recent losses in Maryland and Michigan he currently leads Pres. Ford in committed delegates for the Republican Convention to be held in Kansas City this summer. Reagan does not plan to visit Eugene. | ftlWWWWWWWWWWWWVWVWWVWWVWVVW^ gressperson is not Jim Weaver.” When asked to describe her program for decentralizing the government, she said political leaders should search out private sources of capital for alternative development. Nathan said at this time corpo rate interests are “bedfellows with political power” and that "the corporate-political state is similar to fascism." Nathan continued, saying that in reference to corporate power and Senate Bill One, “We are de veloping a fascist type of country. "Libertarians are leading the fight against the Caesars of this century." mailed a letter of instruction exp laining graduation ceremonies. “Just because you receive a let ter of instruction doesn’t mean you’re going to graduate,” Hud zikiewicz says. “Anybody can go through the ceremonies that wants to. Last year a fellow who graduated four years ago, but had never gone through the cere mony, went through with his sister because she was graduating.” Graduation participants can pick up their caps and gowns, which are made chiefly from paper, at the University books tore. Undergraduates must buy them for $6.75, but masters and doctoral candidates may rent theirs. Doctoral candidates’ gowns are distinguished by the additional gold and green hood which hangs from the shoulders. Caps and gowns are not man datory for the ceremony and Uni versity Relations says there is no dress code for those participating. Participants will meet at Straub Hall Sunday afternoon, June 13 the day of the ceremony. There they will gather in groups accord ing to department or school and at 2:30 p.m. they march over to Hayward Field, led by faculty members. “If you manage to get through four years of school, this is the easiest part," Hudzikiewicz says. Doctoral candidates only will shake hands with the University president. Other students shake hands with their department deans, who receive their students simultaneously. m S^fCU &Utunal 0?vu<m fruAcnte The 6th Annual Willamette Valley Folk Festival May 20, 21, 22 with special guests Sunnyland Slim & Cousin Emmy THURSDAY MAY 20 12:30 Cyclone Madrone 1:15 Kevin Johns and Karla Rose 2:00 Canyon Creek Ramblers 2:45 "X” 3:30 Knares 4:15 Emily Phelps and Antonia Barnes 5:00 Ira Herskowitz SATURDAY MAY 22 12:00 Tom Schwenzer 12:45 Shebegen 1:30 Patchwork 2:15 Greg Field 3:00 Friends of the Family 3:45 COUSIN EMMY, country star of the 30’s and 40’s 5:00 Peter Pancreas and the High Livers 5:45 Ragtime Millionaires 6:30 Susan Arrow FRIDAY MAY 21 11:30 Meg Stormont and Kevin Barnes 12:30 Once in a While Band 1:15 Woody Harris 2:00 Lanning Russel and Kevin McGraw 2:45 Pop Powers 3:30 Jim Page 4:15 SUNNYLAND SUM, Chicago blues piano player 6:00 Medicine Wolf 6:45 Gold Ring String Band BARN DANCE On Friday night there will also be a barn dance in Gerlinger gym.
