This Year Monacan has had its step toward women’s liber- ation. Believe it or not men! Senior, Caren Goode, has been accepted at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Many might ask how Caren became interested in attending the Military Acad- emy. Her first sign of interest occured when she saw the movie, ‘“‘The Women of West Point,’’ during her Freshmen year. During her Sophomore year, as her interest expand- ed, she began sending away for information. After receiving great amounts of information, Caren decided that the acade- my was the school for her. During her Junior year, Caren actively began filing for an application to West Point. In order to have a file, she was required to complete a ques- tionaire. At this time, Caren re- Hard Working. After basing her future on her loyalty to her country, and her desire to receive a good education Caren Goode will be attending West Point.

Upon hearing this, Caren applied for one nomination from both Senators (Warner and Trible) and Representa- tive Tom Bliley. After filing for her application, Caren began exploring the academy fur- ther. She often spoke with ca- dets and visited West Point throughout the continuation of her Junior year. The more she discovered about the acade- my, the more she liked it. During the summer before notifing West Point of her deci- sion to apply under the early action plan, she was required to have a complete medical and dental examination. After hearing about Caren’s deci- sion and about her good health, the academy sent her a packet of forms. She re- ceived several recommenda- tion forms which were to be completed by several teach- ers. Another form requested a secondary school transcript including an essay on the rea- son why Caren wanted to at- tend West Point. Finally, her last requirement was taking a — Physical Aptitude Test con- sisting of such things as the flexed arm hang, the broad jump, and other things similar to the Presidential Aptitude Test. Now that the forms were completed, a long agonizing wait was to be expected for the results. After three months, Caren © received a letter notifying her of her acceptance to West Point, but only under the condi- tion that she would receive at least one nomination. Two days later after receiving the letter, Tom Bliley gave her his nomination after Caren had been interviewed several times by Bliley’s review board. | Caren immediately sent the — nomination to West Point and was readily accepted. f In the past few years, the field of opportunities has been opened greatly for women, Caren Goode is one young - lady who is willing to take ad- — vantage of opportunities intro- duced to her. a a +
