he evening stu- dent at Georgia State is usually employed during the day. He fre- - quently works downtown in one of the highrise office towers and rushes from work to classes at least two days each week. At one time the ratio of male to female students attend- ing in the evening leaned heavily toward the male, not so any long- er. The women seeking business degrees have increased. The well- dressed, conservative, conscien- tious individuals, who join the ranks of students after five, repre- sent a major population group. Briefcases in hand, male corpo- rate ties flourishing along with conservative blouses and heel and toe shoes for the females create a totally different mileau on cam- pus after five. Hurry, rush, take a deep breath and forge ahead seems to be the sentiment of the five thousand who take graduate and under- graduate classes two evenings a week, and spend the other even- ings in the library and with their families. 1 A - I , - I IHJQYIIJIIZIWIAIII ww -9949 0-ZW' STUDENT UPL

QW CMM' difficulties. I point to one-mar- ried at fifteen, children before she was twenty. Wanted a GED, and worked like mad to get it. Waited a while to try college. Entered col- lege at twenty-one . . . on condi- tional admission. Worked during the day and attended at night, she graduated in six years with hon- ors grades. She finishes her mas- ters degree in 1986 and will begin her study at the doctoral level. She's a teacher and a model for her students, and she cares for fos- ter children in addition to her i 1 own. Another case in point would be a young man who has a family to support. His mother died, his fa- ther lives out of state and cares not for the children. He works three jobs, two at night, to sup- port his family - younger broth- ers and sister who are not yet six- teen. He's only twenty-two, but he has the responsibility of a much older person. He graduated this year with honors, belonged to twelve organizations and held of- fice in two. These are but two of the sterling students who come at night, who work in the day, who care for others, who excel aca- demically, who are good citizens, who will make this world a better place for all of us.
