Stepping into the real world: Graduation! he month was thousand students were about to become college graduates. Their mentors, led them along the sidewalk that had become their main walkway in getting from one class to the next. For some this was their final student duty. The forever familiar tune of May. the year, 1987. Over a CAMPUS m Pomp and Circumstance flowed through the air. The benefactors of countless hours of studying paraded proudly past hundreds of people who came to share in their joy. The graduates' steps were slow allowing them time to revive memories. share smiles and shed tears. “You are, to quote a phrase, free at last. said Distinguished Visiting Pro- fessor, Chief Justice Arthur Goldberg. There were shouts of joy; then there were the stifled cries of Yes. Yes free at last. Borrowing from a great president, the world will little know, nor remember what I or any commencement speaker may say,” predicted Goldberg. Or will it? Goldberg commented about what would be a milestone in the continual growth of the na- tion. For later in his speech he declared that ... tuition fees in public universities should be abolished. Such fees are incompatible with the concept of universal free education. And again, there were shouts of joy. In 1984. when the majority of the graduating class entered Radford University their in state tuition fees were $1,576 for the year. By their senior year, their tuition and fees were 1,920 A large amount in comparison to the statement of Goldberg, but not an impossible fee to pay. Many students managed to pay for their education through scholarships, grants, loans, work-study programs, off-campus, and summer jobs. Noting that it was too late, or too early for them to be recipients of free education, the graduates’ thoughts must have again drifted to the present. Their black robes, the tassels, and the caps, some decorated and some blank, all added to the outfit that simply said. I made it. The facial expressions of the parents, their presence and their tears showed that it was worth the cost to send their children to school. They will never experience a precious moment like this ever again. Now only the future remains. The world awaits the action of these distinguished few who chose not to give in to internal or external pressures,- but to persevere to the very end: these distinguished few whose hopes and dreams spring eternal. by Tony Philpott Sharing lira joy Graduates express thc»r excitement with each other pholo by Jack Jeffers 12 Campus Life
