Ryann's Rant: Wisdom Let the commencement commence Carroll College Student Newspaper Helena, Montana Volume 103 Edition 4 Thursday April 25th, 2013 After months of ranting and rav ing about the things that annoy me about Carroll, its teachers, and its students, I thought I would take this last column to rant about something I don’t ever want to change at Car- roll: the education. After four years at Carroll, I have no doubt that I have received a liberal education. In just a couple weeks I will be graduating with a BA in literature, a minor in writing, as well as an AA in business admin istration. And let’s not forget those CORE classes. All of these together make for one rounded transcript. But the classes I took here at Car- roll did not just teach me what was in the course title and description. So, instead of screaming about the graduation fee (which is as tronomical considering the whole thing consists of folding chairs, an already-constructed gym, and a cafeteria-brunch I still have to pay for), or the housing lottery numbers (I’m graduating with extra credits, how does a SOPHOMORE get a better number than me?). or the gym rats who can't seem to rack their weights when they are done (I mean really? Were you raised in a bam?), or those who study in the library who seem utterly incapable of pushing in their own chairs (I am neither your mother, your keeper, nor your slave. Do it yourself!), I am going to give you some bits of unconventional wisdom that I learned from my professors in my four years here—a little something from each of them that I will never forget. And who knows? Maybe these small insights will be the difference between a pass and fail for those of you who have yet to experience their classes. Jeffery Morris, English: Shake speare is the All-Father. Ron Stottlemyer, English: For everything from arthritis to zoopho bia, strawberry milk. Mel McFetridge, business: Your brain only works for 10 minutes at a time. Kay Satre. English: There is no history; there is only literature. Debra Bemardi. English: When in doubt, Luce Irigaray. Beth Schoyen. business: Do NOT salt your food before tasting it. Annette Ryerson. business: Don't drive in New7 York. You can't afford to park the car.

More Wisdom page 5 t> Ryann Lannan Student Opinion Nursing program dass photo Nona Keeler Staff Writer Whatever they’re approaching, finish line or starting line, it is finally in sight for the 280 members of Carroll’s 2013 graduating class. Preparations are well underway for Carroll College’s 2013 commencement ceremonies on May 11th. Some of the events included are honors convocation, cap and gown pick up, rehearsal, unveil ing of bricks, pinnings, baccalaureate, brunches and cumulates with graduation. See the schedule on page 14 for details on the various events. “There are a couple of important things to remember during this exciting and busy time,” said Cathy Day, registrar. “Bac calaureate is a beautiful mass, however seating is limited. Graduates do not need a ticket; however, each is given only two for their guests. No tickets are required for commencement. I recommend arriving a little early to find seats. If someone has special seating needs they should contact the Registrar’s office as soon as possible so that we may accommodate them.” Graduation activities will include two new experiences this year. The first is the FILE PHOTO Presidential Champagne Toast where Tom and Lisa Evans, Carroll president and his wife, will toast the graduates on their successes at Carroll and their futures on the steps of St. Charles Hall. Secondly, there will be live music by the South Hills Brass Quintet during the commencement procession. “My favorite part of all the commence ment happenings is to be able to read the names of the students as they receive their diplomas,” said Day. “It is great to see that all their hard work and challenges has led them to this special day.” Commencement, page11 Woo and Byrne to speak at grad ceremony The Carroll College Board of Trust ees will be presenting Margaret Woo of Catholic Relief Services with an honorary degree of Humane Letters and Father Pete Byrne with the Borromeo Award. The im portance of this day is personified by the 28 Golden Grads from the Classes of 1953 and 1963 as they recall their own gradua tion from Carroll. Woo is the CEO and president of Catholic Relief Services (CRS). CRS was founded in 1943 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States to serve World War II survivors in Europe. Since then, it has expanded in size to reach more than 100 million people in nearly 100 countries on five continents. Byme has been a missionary with the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers since 1956. He has dedicated his life to the issue of children’s rights, primarily providing services and support to the homeless boys and girls of Peru. He is a Carroll alum, class of 1951, who studied philosophy. Imagine the thrill of wearing gowns of gold or purple 50 or even 60 years after your college graduation and reliving the experience. That’s exactly what our 2013 Golden Grads will be experiencing. The graduates from the Class of ’63 will be receiving a golden diploma and those from the Class of ’53 will receive a com memorative pin. “It is very exciting to see that our Gold en Grads are still connected to each other and Carroll,” said Kathy Ramirez, director of alumni relations. “Their eagerness to embrace the new alumni into their fold is a true testament to the Carroll motto ‘Not for school, but for life.”’ There are many things to be excited about when revisiting an important piece Golden Grads, p a g e ii Nona Keeler Staff Writer Graduates aren’t the only ones who will be receiving special awards and acknowl edgements during Carroll’s commence ment ceremonies.
