It was held at the Indianapolis Columbia Club on Friday, May 7. Commencement speaker and De- Pauw alumnus Senator Dan Quayle stressed the necessity of discipline during his speech at DePauw's one hundred and forth-third annual com- mencement ceremony. Quayle accept- ed his controversial honorary Doctor of Law degree and urged the graduat- ing class to be strong in mind, method and spirit. He did not mention the mix-up and controversy that had sur- rounded his selection as University commencement speaker. 'The decision ,. to award the degree had caused problems when several students at WGRE, the campus radio station, were suspended from their jobs when they reported the faculty had first voted not to award the degree and then changed the vote after they learned Quayle already had been in- vited.

32 Graduation DlSClpllnC raduation from DePauw University required more than acquiring thirty-one course cred- its, maintaining a 2-point cumulative grade average, completing four Win- ter Term projects, selecting a major area of study, passing departmental comprehensive exams and developing a senior thesis.

Playing AeGame For More Than Just A Score On November 14th the stands at Blackstock Stadium were filled an hour and a half before the Monon Bell game. Underneath the brilliant Saturday afternoon sky spectators were standing six deep along the makeshift fence surrounding the field. Once again DePauw met archrival Wabash College to battle over a ball and a bell in a game that would result in more than just a score. . . . And what a game it was! Two superb football teams were pitted against each other; each had post-sea- son playoff hopes, and each was ranked in the Top Ten nationally in Division III. After a tense first quarter with Wabash in the lead, DePauw came back to claim a 21-14 victory. The Bell was once again home after a I. OJ m 2!! .- U :l O r-I six-year absence. The intensity of the rivalry suddenly turned into pride and ecstatic happiness for a football team and a school.

This attitude was not sharedby every- one, however. One freshman comment- ed, 1 think ifs childish, and anyone who would fight over a bell has to be a bit on the abnormal side. Later that evening the pride and spirit manifested itself in the party at Sigma Nu fraternity. You couldn't get a beer until you rang the bell, remembered one freshman. The partying continued at Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Gamma Delta Sunday night when students heard that Monday's classes were canceled in cele- bration. Head football coach Nick Mourouzis captured the essence of the game: It was just a great football game on a perfect afternoon . . . a great rivalry that is summed up by 40 wins for each school and eight ties in 88 years of football e just greatl'T - by David Rawnsley and Lisa Sense!
