May 1,1980-the Dsfly CoBeg-»-Pa«e 8 Ceremony breaks from tradition. by Steve Schmidt Breaking away from the tradition of pomp and circumstance, a special commencement for graduating CSUF Chicanos will be held May 17 in the biggest celebration of its type in Calif¬ ornia. The campus Amphitheatre cere¬ mony is designed to allow the 100 hispanic graduates to thank professors and friends for an education whir- once seemed a near impossible goal for minority students, according to Manuel Olgin, CSUF director of Tut¬ orial Services and president of the Chicano Alu.nni Association. Olgin said many older-generation Chicanos didn't have the chance to finish high school, much less college and because of that today's Chicano graduates can be proud of the inroads made by minorities in recent years. A dinner in the .Residence Dining Hall will precede the ceremony and a off-campus dance will complete the evening event. The ceremony is not designed to replace the regular commencement set for May 14, but serves as a set¬ ting in which campus Chicanos can meet and exchange t_——I and fare¬ wells. Chicanos will be allowed to take part in the May 14 cap and gown cere¬ mony. Non-minorities will be able to take part in the Chicano ceremony as well. 'In the Chicano commencement there is a chance for Chicanos to get together for one last time to celebrate," Olgin said. In it's fourth year, the ceremony is a result of a thesis project done by Olgin. As a 1964 CSUF graduate, Olgin found the regular commencement to be 'impersonal* because of the roll-calling, cap and gown-wearing design of the event. Although Olgin praises the level of organization and seriousness of the regular ceremony, he believes an important human touch is missing. 'I wished I could have thanked someone when I graduated,* Olgin ssid yesterday in his San. Ramon 6 office. Chicanos will get a chance to do just that when the 'serious' commence¬ ment begins at 7 p.m. in the Amph¬ itheatre. The event will begin with a brief opening statement and an invo¬ cation by San Joaquin Valley Bishop Jose de Jesus Madera. Emcees Alex Sargoza and Lea Ybarra- Soriano, former and current coordinat- 'ors of the CSUF La Raza Studies re¬ spectively, will then read remarks written by graduates thanking the school staff, peers and family. Olgin said, 'Politics will take a backseat to the ceremony.' It will be the parents and graduates who will bethe'VIPs'. The dinner will be held from. 6 p.m. to 7 and the danee is scheduled from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. in- the Industrial- Education building at the Fresno Fairgrounds. •mm.
