Garry Trudeau, on leave from drawing the irreverent and often controversial "Doonesbury" comic strip, told 542 DePauw University graduates the world is no longer kind to heroes. "The many disillusionments of the 1960s and 1970s have certainly taken their toll," said Trudeau, who is working on a "Doonesbury" musical and a screenplay.

"I remember a few years ago, right after Secretariat had swept the Triple Crown, a woman told sports-caster Heywood Broun that after Vietnam and Watergate, Secretariat had 'restored her faith in Trudeau said. "With horses as our remaining heroes, it is not surprising that the values associated with heroes seem I ill WlS.S.-"r. to be in such disarray.

It is not simply disillusionment; it is also the times you find yourselves in," he said. Trudeau received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Commencement speaker was Indiana University President John Ryan who told the graduates, "As the twig is bent in this college, so includes the growth and flowering in Indiana of the leadership of our commerce, our government, our most distinguished professions.
