either "upon receipt of $20 your
diploma will be struck and sent to
you" or "your diploma has been
struck and will be sent to you "

Aside from commencement,
graduation weekend has gone
through a lew alterations The
senior class once sponsored a
senior ball in McArthur Court,
open to all the classes The
senior ball came complete with a
full orchestra, chaperone, dress
suits and dance cards, which
men had to Sign in order to
reserve a dance with a woman.
“They used to hire Duke Elling
ton and other types." Richard
said
Commencement was even a
celebration in the beginning. It
used to be held on Saturday at 8
p m. in Mac Court and was also
celebrated with a luncheon ban
quet in Straub Hall, which used to
have a huge dining hall
Sponsored by the Alumni
Association I or a small fee, the
luncheon included seniors, alum
ni, parents, friends, faculty and
the University president, who
would give a statement of well
wishes.
"Faculty were expected to
attend both, commencement and
the luncheon including cap and
gown," Richard said "They used
to take rolt and it was very difficult

There are a lot more students
now, thousands as opposed to
hundreds Up until the 1970s,
there were class officers, who
could sponsor padies and events
tor the entire student body.
This year the parties and cele
brating are up to the individuals.
For some departments there are
planned picnics and activities, but
for most it is merely the ceremo
ny.
Whether it be for the better of
the students graduating or simply
for the different, it remains a
weekend specifically for the grad
uates. So, to the 1993, modern
graduating class, congratulations
on your big day and good luck
with future endeavors.
