Also during commencement, Holland told graduates "I want you to take pride in your accomplishments and face the future During commencement, President Thomas S. Monson, a member of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints who was conducting, told graduates to: "Go forward, look upward, move onward and rise heavenward. "It is essential that we go forward," he said. In addition, protect and extend, with a smile. "If somewhere along the way you have made a mistake or fallen short, then use this day to repent and clear the slate, to say you've learned important lessons about life and that you and your society will be better for your renewed determination," he said. "There are a lot of problems in the world and good people have to deal with them if we are to improve, but leave here today optimistic about life and its challenges.

Tuesday a BYU student, Karen Backman, died of neurofibromatosis the disease made public by the movie "The Elephant Man." Even while she was ill, Back-ma- n never gave up. "She was in constant pain, but despite these extreme difficulties, she would faithfully attend her classes at BYU. "Karen Backman is like so clean and fine and many of you quietly heroic, pressing forward, against sometimes bitter odds," Holland added. ,,',,".

He was born in a Methodist family and has been a lay preacher since he was 17. His mother's ancestors were early followers of John Wesley. His father and grandfather became trade union and labor leaders concerned about the working conditions in the cotton mills. t '''."," He attended the village school in Lancashire and went on to the local grammar school before beboy seaman coming a early in World War II.

When he returned to England, he studied at four schools: Manchester, Wales, London School of Economics and Cambridge, receiving bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees as well as a p. U teacher's certificate. He was active in the Labor Party until he became disillu- Tf nui "V f mJt with the decline in the educational system under the party's leadership, Boyson said. sioned " TT 1 '2iC - a;. A vXk !?t) . 1 When he saw what the party was doing with schooling, he began to suspect "they were making the same mess of everything else." After quitting the Labor Party, he was persuaded to join the Conservative Party, he said. "I led the movement to stop the destruction of our schools." He was then asked to stand for the Conservative Party. He became a Conservative councillor and leader in London and in 1974 he won the seat in Parliament that he still holds. In the seven years of the Thatcher government, he has been minister for higher education, minister for schools, minister for social security, deputy secretary for Northern Ireland and is now minister for local government. Boyson said the Thatcher government has been successful and will probably be reelected. Although all the problems have not been solved during the past eight years, the government is out of debt and the free market emphasis has paid off. When Thatcher came into office, 35 percent of all the industry was owned by the government. Half of that is now back in the private enterprise system, he said. That means hundreds of workers now have the same job, but because they work for private enterprise, they realize if they cannot compete, they will be out of work. They no longer have the bottomless pocket of government to bail them out. ' "The Thatcher government has been a wind of change," Boyson said. Now Britain is exporting a greater proportion of what the country makes than any other country but Germany. In addition, Britain has more overseas investments than any 85 billion country except Japan pounds sterling or $120 billion, he said. "It has worked. It has changed the climate. People are working again in Britain. People move with an air of optimism again," Boyson said. He said people have had a taste of socialism and have rejected it. The Labor Party could be in a permanent decline. Boyson first heard about BYU in 1974 when he met a member of the university's faculty at an international conference in Brussels. University officials invited him to lecture at BYU for the first time in 1975, the year of the university's 100th anniversary. He lectured at BYU again in 1982. "(Provo) is very attractive," he said. In addition, he likes the Mormon people. "I've never met a more pleasant, cheerful and committed people." Part of the reason Boyson was asked to give the commencement address was because it is the of year of the 150th anniversary the LDS Church's contact with Great Britain, according to BYU President Jeffrey R. Holland. honBoyson was to receive an deorary Doctor of Humanities BYU. from gree , ' - x 3x5 Jar Lamp Ginger Choose from a selection of beautiful Eleqant Chinese rugs 90L O.ET Hand carved colors in our large best selling ginger jar lamp.
