The ceremony consisted of several speakers including Indiana University's President lohn Ryan. The new graduates had obtained ei- ther an associates degree or a bache- lors degree in their respective majors. With their new diplomas in hand the graduates said good-bye to their friends, and breathed a sigh of relief knowing that their days of classes were l f l .J 1 if up i N-1 .H Qi finally over. They have taken their last finals and now they can get on with their lives. While some of these graduates might go on to pursue higher degrees in the area of their major, others will proceed on to use their degree while working for a local or other national corporation. Regardless of what degree program these graduates were in, each and ev- ery one of them walked away from the graduation ceremony ready to take their place in the future.

I UK SINGERS SWI lf one would pass by room 150 on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons between the hours of 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. one would hear the IUK Singers practicing in four part harmony. IUK Singers can be taken as a 2 cred- it hour class or can be enjoyed as a student activity for those desiring a change in chaotic curriculum and sim- ply seeking relaxation in a classroom setting. One of the purposes of the IUK Singers class is to provide a needed outlet for students to express musical creativity. Students have the opportu- nity to display their creative abilities at the end of each semester at respective winter and spring concerts and occasional community appearances. Evelyn Dollens, IUK adjunct instructor, has conducted the IUK Singers for 3 years. Dollens teaches high school choir and junior high music classes at Marion-Adams High School. Cindy Metskers also an IUK adjunct instructor, accompanies the IUK Singers at each concert performance and dur- ing the many preliminary rehearsal times prior to each production present- ed in Havens Auditorium. During the productions, IUK Singers perform songs of various styles, tem- pos, and themes. At the Winer Concert on December 14, several stu- dents helped to create their own cho- reography. At this concert, the IUK Singers performed many solo perfor- mances of their own choosing. As an added group interest, IUK Singers ordered T-Shirts during the first semes- ter, which displayed the IUK Singers emblem. IUK Singers welcomes new members every semester. Come join them on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for a time of group singing and great fun.
