as co-chair of the Democratic Platform Commit tee for the 1992 Democratic National Convention In the medieval city, clothing not unlike that worn by the participants in this commencement ceremony was common The modem academic costume has evolved from the dress of the medieval guilds and the early religious orders Today, anyone with a college or university degree may wear the black aca demic gown The hood, which is placed on the graduate by a member of the faculty during the ceremony, indicates the doctoral level degree Placement of the hood by a member of the faculty gives recognition of the academic accom plishment, and welcomes the graduate to the fraternity of professionals At the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, the lining of the hood has a blue chevron on a gold ground to represent the university colors A Hastings faculty member who holds a degree from another college or urtlversity wears the colors of that school The velvet edging on hoods is the color which represents the subject in which the degree was earned by the wearer Purple is Law The Doctor's costume also has velvet trim on the gown, includ ing cross bars on the sleeve The trimming may be black or may match the color of the hood edging The tassel is on the left side of the cap indicating an advanced degree Legislatively, Congresswoman Pelosi has concentrated her efforts on the areas of health care, housing, environmental protection and human rights In addition to her legislative accomplishments, Nancy Pelosi has worked on the Appropriations Comittee to change the spending priorities of government She has sought to direct federal resources toward strengthening the economy, protecting the environment, enhancing access to quality education and health care and improving the instruments of world peace Congresswoman Pelosi comes from a strong family tradition of public service Her father, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., served as mayor of Baltimore after representing the city in Congress for a decade, where he also served on the Appropriations Committee Her brother, Thomas III, also served as mayor of Baltimore Nancy Pelosi attended Trinity College in Washington, D.C She and
