Grad ua tion I All Depends How You Look At It! Eagerly awaiting graduation to dreading the last days of classes seems to be the range of feelings of graduating students. For some students, the handshake of Dr. Constantine Curris with diploma in hand is only a boost into the real world and a good ridance of the academic world. No more late night cram ses- sions to pass a critical exam, no more struggling to find campus parking places, and no more walking to class in miserable heat, in the breathtaking cold, or in soggy, rain-drenched clothes. It just seems wonderfully impossible not to have to wait in registration and dropfadd lines again! Age makes no difference when it comes to earn Lookin ' g back over the years, London Walker mg your degree This new MSU grad is preparing waits in line to receive her master's degree. Many other students feel differently. Enjoying the academic life, some stu- dents indicate receiving one degree is only a stepping stone toward earning another. Close friendships are separat- ed and the familiar surroundings are left behind. Many students feel a twinge of sadness as they are leaving the class- room or moving out of the dorms for the last time. In May 1980, 535 undergraduates re- ceived bachelor's degrees and 134 stu- dents received their masteris degree. Bachelor's degrees were conferred upon 137 students and master's degrees were received by 206 in the graduation cere- mony in August 1980. ,pi

Everyone' does their own thing to make their braids more personal. The word for fashions this year is class. And class implies cash- spending lots of cash. Gals and guys are headed back to the basics of clothing. Clothes have to be more versatile and serviceable due to the higher prices of cloth- ing. From head to toe, students are dressing differently from the fashions of the '70s. Shoes for gals and guys are very similiar in the everyday line. Loafers and topsiders have the first place in casual shoes. For a special dressier look, the ladies turned to high heels and delicate straps. Men are returning to the more basic dress shoe with a lower heel than seen in previous years. For the bottom half, skin- tight pants and jeans are out. Trousers with pleats and big pockets in the front are making quick sales for both sexes. Skirts for women are pleated this year. Wool skirts worn with knee scocks and loafers or top- siders is a typical outfit for college girls.
