EXPERIENCE myself and friends, good ones. -ART EKLUND Continued from page 4e interesting, but related to his major as well. Opting to go directly into the job market and hold off on graduate school for the time being, Eklund maintained a realistic perspective on what his chances would be. He had accepted the fact that being a novice in the work force meant probably starting at the bottom of the so-called corporate ladder. Being the self-proclaimed non-tie person that he was, some minor adjustments in lifestyle would probably have to be made once he graduated from school .

Sometimes the carefree aspects of college life could be taken for granted, but for those who were holding down a job to help put them through school, headed for a specific career in which they were already receiving much hands on experience and basically being a responsible adult the question was: How much more real could it get? No matter what the field of study or intended occupation, it seemed an optimistic attitude was important to maintain. Interactive Computer Graphics major Art Eklund had that part mastered. Beginning his ASU career as an engineering major, he was now glad for having made the switch. My advisers (in computer graphics) were really supportive, he explained. Personal guidance and attention were completely unfa miliar to many in a school of over 40,000. He felt lucky to have had that.
