HAPPY
IN ANY LANGUAGE: This
happy Eastern Michigan University graduate
holds up a sign, in French (translated "Dad,
Mom, it's for you!") thanking his parents
for helping him achieve this special
accomplishment. More than 1,800 students
were eligible to participate in EMU's
spring commencement ceremonies at the
Convocation Center April 26. Richard
M. Smith, chairman of Newsweek, was the
keynote speaker for the morning ceremony
and he received an honorary degree. Kenneth
Fine, retired vice president and general
manager of semiconductor product groups
for Intel Corporation, gave the afternoon
address.
