HE ALSO characterized the class as being "filled with wisdom proved by high standards of academic Valedictorian Jayne Waggoner explained some of the values she absorbed at USD while majoring in mathematics and computer science. SHE SAID one of the most valuable lessons is "the theme of peace" developed this semester. "We have seen the importance of peace in our lives; we have been shown it can begin with us.''

"College prepares us for the upper division courses of life." She added that USD teaches its students to care for others through the example of professors concerned about "our success... and an administration that makes us feel USD is our second home, even after graduation. "USO taught us to be competent instead of competitive. When we don't have to compete with others. we can accomplish so much more," she said THE VALEDICTORIAN stressed the importance of enjoying life, finding a fulfLllmg career, listening to people "and storing pieces of information for future use" to gain an awareness of one's environment.

Bishop Maher urged the graduates to be "guardians of human rights and human freedom," which he said is "incarnated in fidelity to others ." . Freedom ,s "governed by truth and justice"; it is found where "reciprocal bonds link one another in love " USO has taught you how to form those bonds, he said. HE CONTRASTED this concept with some distor- tions of freedom: "exaggerated autonomy and radical independence." He challenged the class to "free history from the false paths it is pursuing." Future peace lies in your hands and hearts, he said. Bishop Maher received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree during the ceremonies. This degree is conferred upon individuals who demonstrate dedication to furthering the "concepts of truth and justice," one of the university's goals, explained Vice President and Provost Sister Sally Furay, RSCJ She cited the bishop's programs for the less fortunate: SHARE, the new St. Vincent De Paul Center and relief for flood victims in the Diocese of Tijuana, Mexico.
