Students complain tha a degree does not fully prepare therfi for thei chosen profession, and even more basically that a degree no longer even insures them of position within that profession. While it is true that graduation from a un iversity, by virtue of the large number o gradsuates year, no longer carries thy special distinction of accomplishment it onci signified in years past, the value of a universi ty education has in no way diminished Rather. their aspirations of our graduates i terms of what can be expected from thai education must change. We have entered period in which an education is simply necessity and not a guarantee. We hav entered a period in which the individual, an not degree alone, is the Iggy to his employg menifmand success. The individual must rnaki: and find his own opportunities, for a degr alone is no longer enough. C-i?eater competition, ever increasin technical requirements, and decreasin tolerance of error are all factors which hav indeed made the transition from the universit to the real-world much more difficult fo today's graduate.

To smarty of us graduation marks the begini- ning of new educational routes. to others the starting of new jobs and careers. But for all of us graduation is a roadmark of a goal accomplished along the pathway of life. At times the road became rough and rocky and disxappointrnents and seti backs acted as detours impeding our way. Howevengwith our final destination firmly set and our routeicharted out, we traveled on. Newspapers, books, and magazines served as roadmaps setting our direction. Professors and ministrators were our road signs giving quick and helpful advice to make the journeyga smooth and happy one. The helpful encouragement of family, friends, and fellow classmates served as a boost of energy when our qtginal destinatioiggy. seemed as if it could never be reached?
