Indeed, if a picnic were to be held in the Municipal Auditorium, the usual locale for spring graduations, it would be more in character than the currently planned graduation site on campus. Seasonably high temperatures (which according to the Weather Bureau average in the high 80s to low 90s for the day chosen), and the likelihood of inclement weather (a chance of at least 57 per cent on this day, also according to Weather Bureau figures) will amost certainly put a damper on the ceremony now scheduled for 9 a.m., June 8. A check of possible alternative locations has proved virtually fruitless. The Municipal Auditorium, which would cost the university $300 in rental fees, has long since been reserved on that day for high school graduations. A little preplanning on the part of the administration, however, and a willingness to pay for a more desirable locale, might have succeeded in booking that building. The Naval Training Center gymnasium/auditorium is another possibility which has been used by the university in the past. TIME IS another factor which has caused many to comment on this particular graduation. The time chosen, 9 a.m., will naturally exclude many fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, perhaps grandmothers and grandfathers, who likely have waited some years to see a loved one be graduated from college. It will amost automatically exclude working P~~mwhom~~u~b~~g~timeoff(w~.~ili~d~suc~ed~-----------------------------­ getting time off, would run the risk of being rained out, blown '.
