Dear Class of 2004,

You may not be able to see me, but I am standing and giving each of you a
standing ovation. The clapping of my hands is to recognize your achievements
and successes at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. You have excelled
in the classroom, participated in research, pulled all-nighters, attended candle-
light vigils, played intramural or intercollegate athletics, wrote for the Daily
Collegian or took photos for the Index Yearbook, spent a semester abroad,
learned the fight song "GO MASS", pledged Greek life, joined a student orga-
nization, you experienced a different culture, volunteered for community ser-
vice participated in a rally, took in a play or opera at the Fine Arts Center,
played in the band, had an internship, and voted in campus elections. The list is
endless! *A

You have left an impression upon me that will be firmly planted in my head,
body, and soul. I am touched by your willingness to accept our common
ground and respect our differences. I am touched by your willingness to learn
and teach. I am touched by your ability to make good judgments. I am
touched by your humbleness. I am touched by your teamwork and personal
integrity. Your compassion, consideration, and kindness touch me. I am
touched by your commitment to make the University of Massachusetts
Amherst a better community.

It has often been said that the four years you spend on a college campus are the
best four years of your life. My wish for you is that the four years you have
spent on the Amherst campus prepares you for the next best four years of your
life.

It is possible that the greatest gift a college education can give are those which
can't be read. Or written. Or touched. Hopefully, what a college education has
providied is a richness of life. I have a feeling you are all very rich!

Congratulations, I am proud to call you alumni of the University of Massachu-
setts Amherst and please know you have a standing invitation to come visit us.
We are very proud of you. GO MASS !

Sincerely,

Michael Gargano, ED.D

Vice Chancellor for the Student Affairs and Campus Life

more Pat Bachant. At Waterville
Valley, New Hampshire, the
Minutemmen had their best perfor-
mance, placing first out of sixteen

Regionals. At the USCSA Nationals
at Sugarloaf Mountain in
Carrabassett Valley, Maine, both
Hawkins and Pomeroy were named
first team All-America selection in
the Giant Slalom.

The Minutewomcn skiers were
outstanding this winter with the help
of first season coach Ken Thoman.
Some great competitors in women's
skiing this year were freshman
Ashley Maxfield, sophomore Caitlin
Doughty and Shaleighne Collins,
also a sophomore. Thanks to some
great performances and many first
places, the team ranked fifth place at
the USCSA Eastern Regionals in
Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.

well at national level, ending the
season ranking third out of eighteen

Terrorism was a constant threat worldwide.
Bombings occurred in several Muslim
nations with western ties. Flights into the
U.S. were periodically canceled. Equipment
was installed at airports to conduct instant
background checks on visitors to the U.S.

Plans are in place for new construction on
the site of the World Trade Center, which
was destroyed on 9/1 1 . If built, the Freedom
Tower will reach 1 ,776 feet and become the
tallest building in the world.

Concerns remained about the development
of nuclear weapons by Iran and North Korea.
However, Libya agreed to dismantle its
nuclear program.

In January, a dangerous cold spell gripped the
Northeast. The high demand for electricity
led utility companies to warn residents of
possible rolling blackouts.

A European heat wave killed more than
14,000 people in late summer. As illness
and deaths increased, a crisis developed
at French hospitals and funeral homes.
French citizens were angered by the slow
government response.

searching, soldiers of the U.S. Army's 4th
Infantry Division captured Saddam Hussein,
former Iraqi dictator. Meanwhile, fighting
continued between insurgents and coalition
forces as it had since the fall of Iraq in
April 2003.

A late December earthquake killed at least
25,000 people in Bam, Iran. Aid teams from 16
countries went to help, including volunteers
from the U.S., which was not on friendly

A magnitude-6.5 earthquake was felt
in December from San Francisco to Los
Angeles, killing three people and destroying
historic buildings in Paso Robles, including

The nation followed the case of Scott
Peterson, who was to be tried in the
deaths of his wife, Lacy, and their unborn
son. Lacy's disappearance Dec. 24, 2002,
sparked a massive search in the Modesto,
Calif., area. Both bodies washed up on shore
in April 2003.

Celebrations in Vatican City in October

Calcutta.

Get your rest before you get behind the wheel in New Jersey. The state has become the first

A homesick man thought it would be cheaper to fly himself home as cargo, but officials said he
