The greatest single event in one’s collegiate years is the confer- ring of a degree. To a great extent the diploma is received with a sigh of relief, for it represents the culmination of four, and some- times more, years of work. The diploma is hardly representative of the hours and work put into a degree, but it is received gladly as a token of the accomplishment. It’s more than an inroad to the job market — it’s a composite of courses and experiences which have shaped the individual into a hopefully competent position, not only intellectually but logically and socially, also. SK Se The degree entitles its holder to step into a once sparsely populated area of society, those with an advanced educa- tion. Though the number of college educated Americans in- creases yearly, the end result remains the same. The college educated person is a step above the others, if only in his capacity to better understand the world around him. UAM graduates have filled their positions well in all facets of the work force from teach- ing and research to business and management. This is evi- denced yearly with the presen- tation of the Distinguished Alumnus Award, which this year went to editorial cartoon- ist Dwane Powell. He began his career at the UAM Campus Herald, and recently had a cov- er for Time Magazine. Mr. Powell is currently on the staff of the Raleigh, N.C. News and Observer, and syndicated by the Los Angeles Times. He is but one of the many talented UAM graduates who have achieved national recognition for their work. The goals of some of this year’s graduates may be less than those obtained by alum- nus like Dwane Powell. Some will look back upon UAM fondly, some indifferently, and a few even grudgingly for there are those who don’t truly appreci- ate the effect that a few years of work has upon a person. One thing is certain, however, the UAM graduate will know as he leaves Monticello that he has obtained his degree from a concerned and colorful institu- tion, large enough that he re- ceived a good education, but small enough that during his stay here he never faced the anonymity of a larger school.
