May ceremony spurs return of early grads
By BETH REITER Staff Reporter
Graduation comes three times a school year, but there is only one commencement. January and August graduates must return to the University in May if they want to participate in the graduation ceremony.
Weather and money are two reasons for the single ceremony.
"Commencement is expensive," said Jim Scaly, assistant to the chancellor and coordinator of commencement.
The cost of commencement includes printing the programs, mailing graduation information to graduating seniors, planning and constructing, such as the platforms that must be made. Scally said.
Winter weather would force the University to have a January commencement inside Allen Field House or Hoch Auditorium, Seally said.
SCALLY SAID students who grad-
untied in August or January either skipped walking down the hill or returned in the spring
returned in the spring
Julie Brooks, December graduate,
said she would return.
"I think that a 'big part of going to school,' it's a time for recognition," she said. "I think the one in Mia is a woman, than one could be in December."
Dina Meredith, Wichita senior, plans to graduate in August. She said she couldn't walk down the hill in May because she would not have completed her degree requirements.
"I wish there was a small ceremony for those who graduate in August," she said.
Hill Kasekas, Leawood senior, also will graduate in August. She said that she was looking forward to walking down the hill for commencement and that she would participate in the commencement ceremony this May.
"I'd like to walk down with the class I've spent the last three years with," she said.

Graduation often signals students' entry into the world of employment, but it doesn't have to mean the end of fun.
Graduation also means a time for parties
Theresa Trenshaw, Leawood senior, said she had several parties on her engagement calendar for graduation day. She and her parents plan to attend a cocktail hour at Hawaiian lau, complete with bongo players, is also on her agenda.
But the folks aren't invited to the final party of the evening, Trenshaw said. She and 40 to 50 of her friends plan to drive into the Kansas City area to celebrate the end of their college days.
GRADUATION IS a time for
Champagne will be flowing at Gammon's, 1601 W. 23rd St., where celebrators will be greeted at the door with free glasses of champagne.
Lawrence clubs to celebrate, too. Some clubs are gearing up for the annual influx of parents and relatives that accompanies the ceremony.
But entertainment alternatives exist for visiting parents might feel out of place in a nightclub where the average age is 21.
The Jazzhaus, 926's Massachusetts St., will be playing the tunes that parents might recognize in the golden oldies program. "Dr Mac's History of Rock and Roll," sard owner Rick McNeely.
Ace Johnson, owner of the Sanctuary, 1401 W. 7th St., said the club was famous for its graduation bash. The all you-can-eat buffet is a sellout every year, he said.
