I find a growing number of people who question whether anything matters whether anything works whether anyone listens whether anyone cares Bill Moy ers the broadcast correspondent told the graduates at Syracuse University. A vowed that i would t stand before you and sound the voice of doom rep. Geraldine a. Ferraro d-., said at Mary mount Manhattan College. I can t keep that  it is a commencement season of quiet searching. In Many instances colleges and universities seem to be turning inward honouring higher education s academicians and scholars and asking them to deliver the commencement speeches. Also it is a commencement season that coincides with a recession when seniors hungry for jobs say they feel they can hardly afford to be hostile to business. And so corporate spokesmen Are finding them selves Back in favor rubbing shoulders on the speakers stands with professors who were criticizing them not Long ago. Protest has been confined to the wearing of yellow ribbons by seniors at the univer sity of Virginia in Honor of the american hostages in Iran. The Only reminder of conflict on Campus is the return of 1970 graduates at such schools As Ohio univer sity and Boston University. Now in their Early 30s, with the first traces of Gray at their temples they have come Back to joining ceremonies a decade after their own were cancelled in the Wake of demonstrations against the american military incur Sion into , As if to emphasize the relative quiescence of the current generation the graduates at Cornell University in upstate new York were themselves picketed by thes european edition col.

A Lery Newburg 011 via in n striking workers who objected to their wearing Caps and gowns from a factory at which there is a Union dispute. Unlike the commencements of just a few years ago. During the Heady period of watergate there is no retinue of heroes waiting to March to the podiums to address the graduates and receive honorary degrees. Elliot l. Richardson the former attorney general is one of the few figures from the watergate Era still in demand As a commencement speaker but his talk at Bates College in Maine was about foreign affairs not Washington. Georgetown University in Washington which in years past has conferred Honor Ary degrees on statesmen from around the world this year included among its Honor pcs two High school teachers symbols of All those Many people who helped to ready students for a serious undergraduate curriculum according to the Rev. Timo thy s. Healy the institution s  has been True for some years Many colleges and universities have honoured television newscasters. Charles Collingwood of lbs spoke at southwestern at Memphis.

Harris and a few other Blacks such As Coretta Scott King and rep. Louis Stokes a Ohio were among the few who used the occasion of commencement to take note of the racial unrest in  Strong can we be if our own cities Are Lorn by riots and destruction Harris asked the seniors at Ford Iran. All the military hardware in the world won t protect us from More  they have not yet reached Star category the very fact Hal businessmen Are finding themselves Welcome As commencement speakers seems notable consid ering Hal icy were Persona non Grala on so Many campuses in recent years. Curiously though if the spokesmen for Commerce Are finding a growing audience for their remarks Al College commence ments the representatives of the world of literature Are not. William Styron s address at Hampden Sydney College was one of the few by a novelist. It was also a Homecoming of sorts an occasion for the Virginia born Styron to deplore the Indus trial pollution of the Beautiful James Riv some observers contend that it makes no difference who delivers the commence ment addresses lil Crary figures or businessmen because few graduates remember what was said. I disagree with a recent letter about what is a service wife. A service wife is a Strong competent and capable woman. The times when her husband is away she is capable of handling emergency situations such As broken Bones or broken bikes or arranging repair of the septic Lank overflow. Though her size May vary a service wife is groomed and poised with a smile of Calm Assurance. Children have been born in Many different countries or states. Yet each Situa Tion has been the Home she made it to be. It was Kansas with the tornadoes when Billy was born. Dave was promoted in Hawaii. In Germany i received my leaching degree Etc. The moving expertise of a service wife is unending. The Best Way to pack the most needed items or handling inc entire family move herself while her husband is try she organizes the move and family As a team. A service wife May be any nationality or any profession. Due to new locations and new people a service wife is a stimulating interesting conversationalist on different lifestyles and a More up to Date person. She May be a writer an accounting executive a nurse working also on her masters or a Community fund Raiser. As a group together the service wives solve the common problems of military and or civilian communities. Paid or Volunteer work All goes toward an improved Community environment through hours of time and Energy to acs red Cross scholarships organized sports school or private Industry that serves the Community. The service wife is Multi faceted. Sharing responsibility for moves she organizes her family household Wise and emotionally at moving times. She guides the children through the adjustments of saying goodbye to Good friends and meeting new ones. An Ideal service wife does nol exist. Each wife is unique and brings to each group her personality and can do positive altitudes. She is flexible has an Eye for finances and a great sense of humor when catastrophes prevail. What can you say when the garbage was packed to Germany and All the shoes to storage when duly or Field take away the husbands service wives invest this Lime wisely by improving themselves by taking classes travelling and continuing the work she has chosen with her children and the Community. For inc service wife the army is Home family and travel Opportunity with the one she loves. She is above All a woman sharing her life with the Man she loves As he is sharing his. A service wife is the Strong competent and capable part of the Many thousand family teams supporting America. Carol a. Byrne Polheim Germany Art Buchwald where arc they now col.
