Graduation commences Saturday for seniors Colleges will conduct two ceremonies to accommodate graduates, guests By EMERALD MCGOWAN STUDENT REPORTER

About 590 students will collect their diploma covers in Moody Coliseum at Commencement on Saturday. Commencement will consist of two uncertified ceremonies, meaning students will not actually receive their diplomas as they walk across the stage. The first will be at 11 a.m. for the colleges of Biblical Studies and Business Administration and the School of Nursing. The second ceremony for the College of Arts and Sciences will be at 3 p.m. ACU does not have a certified graduation because even though commencement is Saturday, final grades are not due until May 10, said registrar Danelle Brand. “If a student should fail a class and consequently not complete their required hours, it is possible Brand the student will not actually graduate, even though they participated in commencement,” she said. Students will receive their actual diplomas by mail after grades are finalized. Commencement awards will include the teacher of the year award and Alpha Kai awards, given to students who have maintained a 4.0 grade point average and have completed at least 64 hours at ACU. The Students' Association executive president, Layne Rouse, also will pass his position on to next year’s president, Justin Scott. In the hooding ceremony, undergraduate students will be hooded by their escorts, and graduate students will be hooded by a faculty member, Brand said. Commencement activities also will include the traditional charge to the class, an address to the seniors led by Steven Moore, assistant professor of English, said Ruth Traylor, executive secretary in the provost’s office. Moore was nominated and chosen to speak at commencement by a vote only open to the senior class. This year, 63 graduate students will earn master’s degrees, and four graduate students will earn doctorates, said Kasey Higgins, assistant to the dean of the graduate school. Students who will earn their Doctor of Ministry degrees are: Wyatt Fenno from Edmund, Okla.; Douglass Hall from Fort Collins, Colo.; Gregory York from New Palestine, Ind.; and John Siburt from Garland.
Seniors in the colleges of Biblical Studies and Business Administration and the School of Nursing will graduate in Moody Coliseum at 11 a.m. Saturday. The College of Arts and Sciences commencement will be at 3 p.m. in Moody. About 590 students will cross the stage in both ceremonies.
Seniors prepare to finish school As graduation nears, students should check holds, complete papers By EMERALD MCGOWAN STUDENT REPORTER
With the arrival of warmer temperatures and better weather, most students are looking toward summer, but seniors are looking toward graduation. Some faculty and staff suggest seniors take care of small things, like completing paperwork or paying outstanding parking tickets, in preparation for graduation. The first thing seniors should do is make sure they have their package of commencement paperwork filled out, said June Black, graduation assistant in the Office of the Registrar. Black said most seniors have completed the task, but
some still need to turn in the package. Next, seniors should check with the Student Financial Services to make sure they have paid their balances and have no holds on their accounts, Black said. Some loans and grants, such as Stafford or Perkins, require students to complete exit interviews before graduation, said Jackie Clark, student service representative at Student Financial SerBlack vices. The interviews allow students to contact a representative of their lender, learn how much money they owe and how they can manage their loans after graduation. See SENIORS Page 4

Summer residence hall construction will focus on Barret and Nelson halls. Barret Hall should be completed at the beginning of the next school year, and Nelson Hall will be renovated. Physical Resources, the department in charge of campus maintenance, will complete routine summer maintenance for every residence hall, and on Monday, contractors will begin work on Nelson Hall, said Dr. Mimi Barnard, director of Resident Life Education and Housing. “Monday morning after students move out, that building is going to be full of con-
tractors,” Barnard said. They will replace windows, recarpet floors, repair plumbing drain lines, hang new vanity mirrors and completely repaint Nelson Hall, said Eddie McFadden, manager of building maintenance. For the past few years, the Office of Resident Life Education and Housing has chosen a different residence hall to renovate, but every hall undergoes routine summer maintenance, Barnard said. “Every summer we either buy furniture, or we paint, or we put on a roof,” Barnard said. “There’s always something that has to be done.” McFadden said employees of Physical Resources will fix door locks, replace broken blinds and air condition filters, recarpet rooms with ruined carpet and repaint rooms that See NELSON Page 4

Students prepare for research McNair Scholars plan for field-related summer internships By RACHEL LAU PAGE DESIGNER
Twenty McNair Scholars Program students are preparing for their summer research internships, in which they will perform specific research in their fields of study. The McNair Scholars Program is a federally funded, nation-wide program that focuses on equipping minority and first-generation college students for graduate school. It was established in memory of astronaut Ronald E. McNair, the first black person to travel to space. ACU has an average of 30 students enrolled in the program every year. The summer research internship is one of the major elements of the program. McNair scholars must design and conduct a research project for their major field in Abilene under the mentorship of a faculty member of their choice before graduation. Twenty students are accepted each summer and receive a stipend of $2,800, said Sean Ridge, assistant director of the program. McNair scholar Yessi
Flores, senior social work major from Eagle Pass, did her research internship last summer. Her research, titled “Intervening in children’s development in order to reduce the reoccurrence of poverty,” consisted of contacting professionals within the community and interviewing them. “I had never taken a research class before, and I started this project with a blank,” Flores said. She said after taking the required Maymester course, Research Methodology, she felt fully prepared to begin her project. Flores will graduate next week and continue her education with a master’s degree in social work at the University of Texas in Arlington. McNair scholars also receive opportunities to attend team and skill building workshops and seminars throughout the school year. “McNair gave me the confidence to pick a thesis and dissertation for the master’s level,” Flores said. “It made me aware that there are others out there in the same situation as me; it prepared me and gave me a view of what continuing education consists of.” Ridge said the biggest fulfillment he gets out of his job
is “helping students develop a vision for what they want to be and do, and equipping them to get there.” He said some people do not even know that graduate school exists. “We want to open their eyes to what is out there,” he said. “We want to give the support they don’t receive from their immediate family because it’s unfair to expect them to blindly encourage them in what they do.” The support is what struck Flores about being a McNair scholar. “The people in charge really care about you. You won’t find that anywhere else,” she said. “They’re concerned about you and your future. You’re never by yourself.” The McNair Scholars Program is based on a rolling admission; there is no application deadline. “If it interests you, let us know. The sooner you begin planning your vision, the easier it is to get there,” Ridge said. The McNair office is on the lower level of the Brown Library.

Junior Scholars apply for summer High school students take college courses, live on campus By DANIÈLE NTAHONKIRIYE STUDENT REPORTER

Tuesday, May 3, 2005
About 40 students applied to be Junior Scholars, a program in which juniors in high school attend freshman and sophomore-level summer courses on campus during the summer. Candidates are required to submit a personal essay, their high school transcripts and résumés and should have high standardized test scores. Scholarship decisions will be made next week, and students will begin to check in on Memorial Day. Corey Patterson, associate director of recruiting, said he expects to have between 35 and 40 students this year. “We have turned some people down,” Patterson said. “We really want this program for top academic students, those who
were leaders in their high schools.” Patterson said the program is about more than just coming and taking classes, but it’s for the experience. He said the students learn what college life is like by living in residence halls and participating in activities together. They have church projects, devotionals, out-oftown schedules, summer camps and mentoring sessions. “They have really that time to bond where if they were to take only classes, it will be just a class experience,” he said. “But, this is an overall.” Patterson said they are trying to give the students a good taste of what ACU is like, so they will know what to expect in college. “We hope most of them choose ACU and most of them do,” Patterson said. “Hopefully, this experience will transform them to be better people no matter where they go to college.” Patterson said students now are looking at college early.
“There is a group that needs something like this to get that taste to make the final decision,” he said. He said about 40 percent of junior scholars are from Abilene, and the rest come from a variety of places, adding that they are trying to expand the program and have more students in the coming years. Patterson said the program is not making any money because it is on a scholarship budget. “We scholarship a lot of students who qualify,” Patterson said. He said he’s more excited about this year’s program than he has ever been. “I talk to every one of these students, [and] they are just exceptional students with great personalities,” he said. “They have the highest ACT scores … we have real leaders who are coming this year.” E-mail Ntahonkiriye at: optimist@acu.edu

Spring means allergy season for many Pollen, mold and other allergens cause problems in spring By BRANDON E. COOKS STUDENT REPORTER
The weather is warm, the grass is green, the sun is out, and the sky is blue — all signs that spring has arrived. You open the door to smell the good clean fresh air, and then suddenly it happens — you sneeze. Allergy season has arrived along with the spring weather to infect the air, and it affects people around the world. “Allergies around this time of the year affect my sleep,” said Doug Bongmba, junior business major from Cam-
eroon, Africa. “It’s hard to get a good night’s rest with so much dust and clutter within the air.” According to Patanol.com, “Allergy season begins to peak as the weather begins to warm and winter comes to a close.
spring weather, but at the same time he hates it because this is the time when his allergies really pick up. According to About.com, “An allergy is an abnormally high sensitivity reaction to an ordinarily harmless substance.
“As many as 40 to 50 million people in the United States are affected by allergies.” www.allergies.about.com
When allergy season arrives, increased levels of pollen, mold, and other outdoor eye allergens arrive with it. In theory, it lasts all the way through the year, but is at its height during the spring.” Bongmba said he loves the
The immune system of an allergic person reacts when an allergen is absorbed into their body, treating the substance as a harmful invader, causing the white blood cells to begin producing IgE antibodies, which attach themselves to mast
cells. When this occurs it causes the body to release histamine, which can cause allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, itching, sneezing or a runny nose.” This is also true for others in the United States. As many as 40 to 50 million people in the United States are affected by allergies, according to About.com, and at least 35.9 million of those people catch allergic symptoms in the spring season.

Director still needed for Montevideo Study Abroad Current director moving back to United States with family By LAUREN WARE STUDENT REPORTER
Administrators in the Study Abroad Office are interviewing potential candidates for the position of on-site director for the Montevideo, Uruguay, Study Abroad Program. The previous director, Dr. Warren Roane, has resigned from the position so he
and his family can move back to the United States. “His oldest daughter is about to enter high school,” said Kevin Kehl, director of the Center for International and Intercultural Education. “This is a good transition point in their children’s education.” Roane and his wife, Danna, have lived in Montevideo for about 12 years, Kehl said. Roane taught Bible classes and international studies, while Danna taught elementary Spanish. Roane also organized group trips and served as a

reveal who has been interviewed. “We have some promising candidates,” Kehl said. “Because it’s important we get the right person here, we want to be thorough in our search.” Lauren Graham, Study Abroad office worker and senior international studies
Seniors: Preparing for the end Continued from Page 1 Seniors should also contact their departmental advisers to make sure they have completed all of their department requirements, Black said. Seniors will be able to purchase their commencement supplies in The Campus Store, Black said. Graduation invitations are already on sale, and commencement regalia will go on sale Tuesday.

major from Smithville, went to Montevideo in spring 2003 and said the new director will need some knowledge of the culture. “Once people have traveled, they gain a different view of the world,” Graham said. “They will need a basic knowledge of Uruguay. They will need to be a capable person who speaks Spanish and is excited about the program.” Graham said Roane went to church with the students and took care of any disciplinary problems that occurred.
“He picked us up from the airport and was with us for the rest of the trip,” Graham said. She said the next director will need to be able to cope with a challenging job. “It’s a hard job to have,” Graham said. “He was great, and we want another great person to fill the job. The program will have a different flair to it.”

also be preparing for graduation, Black said. Students are required to apply to graduate, and applications for graduation are due the semester before graduation. In addition, students graduating in August or December should be in contact with their advisers. Kacey Higgins, assistant to the dean of the Graduate School, also had suggestions. “Seniors should make sure ACU has a current address at which to reach them after graduation,” Higgins said. “It’s more of a precaution in
case we need to send transcripts or any money seniors didn’t collect before they left.” Higgins also said seniors should be sure to finish any final projects, pay any outstanding parking tickets and return books to the Brown Library. She said 63 masters and doctoral students will graduate as well.

Grads: Practice makes perfect Continued from Page 1 The graduate school will give awards to three students in the areas of service, most outstanding thesis, and most outstanding internship or practicum, a type of internship in which the student has a planned project for intervention in a specific area. The award is given out only at May commencement and is open to any student who graduated
within the academic year. Winning students will be awarded a plaque and a $200 cash award, Higgins said. Undergraduate students will practice for commencement at 3 p.m. May 6 at Moody Coliseum. Students should bring their hood, mortar board and their escort to practice. Graduate students will practice for commencement in Gibson, Room 233 one hour be-
fore their ceremony. A reception will be held immediately following commencement ceremonies for undergraduates and their families in the mall area south of Moody Coliseum. The ceremony will be divided into departments with faculty available for family and friends to meet and visit with. E-mail McGowan at: optimist@acu.edu

Nelson: Renovations planned Continued from Page 1 have been vandalized. Men’s residence hall rooms are more likely be damaged by things like nail holes, but women’s residence hall rooms often have holes from stapling string lights onto the wall or residue from glow-in-the-dark stars. Although she wants all residence halls to be in good condi-
tion, Barnard said the goal isn’t to make the halls equal. “It’s kind of unfair to think, ‘Can McDonald, built in 1929, be equal to Barret, built in 2005?’” Barnard said. “They can’t be equal, but they can be as good as they can, given what they are.” With so much work to be finished throughout the summer, McFadden said he will hire
about 60 college students for tasks like painting, plumbing or planting. Thirty spaces are still open for summer maintenance jobs, and McFadden said if he can’t fill them with college students, he will open up the positions to high school students. E-mail Taylor at: tat04a@acu.edu
