Upward Bound Provides Education . . . (Continued from pane !) their lives. "Until now, these kids (in the Valley Migrant League) had nev rr even known anyone who at tended college,” said Collins. He then described the way the Up ward Hound students are looked upon by their friends when they return to the migrant environ ment May Help Others These college student* have a great deal of influence over their contemporaries in the lalior camps, and It may help others to seek more educational op portunitics. Perhaps the biggest problem for these students and the main reason many of them are on aea (Jernic probation is the difficulty they have in trying to communi cafe with others in the academic community. "The biggest single thing has been this language problem," ex plained the Upward Hound direc tor "They are expected to breathe in this good big voeab ulatory the professor has” with out having been in contact with it beforehand, he continued. The eight week summer pro gram attempted to remedy this defect with a course in Knglish, but it was really too short a time for that. Many members of Upward Hound are still taking a remedial course in English composition which carries no college credit, but which should prepare them for the regular college English course. Most Weren’t Ready However, most of the students weren't ready for full • time col lege courses in September. “We were a little over optim istic about putting these kids into college full time in the fall,” Col lms explained Many more are now taking 12 hours or more of college cour ses, while still attending reme dial courses they need Sixteen of the Upward Bound students had grade averages be low 1 00 last term and another 35 had grades between 1 (MJ and 2 00 Campus Briefs Oftdr* will Iw'M 4ii <jf*rn nm-lin( at R |-w. l-«Uy in the Oridlf» kmngr an the fir M o| (inluifrt SI*11 AM ifltrtcMrd (o ed* arc invited to 4|imi| Thrrr will lir s k*M> meeting try thy *t 6 j* t»i m ilw M 1'irluiri Li the (began* wwill l»r ia*m S'* 4f rf| of ihow itilefVMiH* Attr ltd lhr M'*'k Intel view In fur hr]i| Wnliii-ub)’ at ? :3*t pro. in 511 Coniin, There Wilt far a irriifilnl fnnrffl tisnigh< a* '> pm. in n»im , in thr SI*. * ■*lleg»i*lr -t II w ill I'trwnl a *rn»*ii| pro gram cm A View of thr Wfiflil Wfilurwljj1 at 7 p ui in thr St'.

[ "But we're learning a hell of a | lot, Collin)) exclaimed. “If all 7fi had passed ... it would nave been a waste,” .since Upward Bound’s job is to find out how to help such underprivileged stu dents. If all the students in the pro I'.rum had flunked, too, it would not have taught the program di I rectors much. •»nly 70 Left Of the 7(1 who started in the program in July, only 70 are left. Six of the students "chose to leave the program,” as Collins PUl it. f'»r various reasons. 1 wo of them have been draft ed and the other three are now living in Portland and attending Portland Community College. Up ward Bound has two "liaison off! cers” in Portland who keep track of the dropouts from the pro gram One of them works for Portland public schools and the other is an ex-juvenile court worker. Collins himself worker! for the public schools in Portland for t* n years, at Jefferson H i g h School. Forty-six of the Upward (Found students are from Jeffer fion and many of them knew the director while he was at that school. Draft a Problem Another problem run into by the Upward Hound program has been with the Selective Service System. Since not many in Upward Hound are full time students yet, and since about BO per cent of them are men, the draft is liable to be breathing down their necks pretty soon 1-ocal draft boards are autono mous, so any national order which would exempt students such as those in Upward Hound could not be made. Collins will speak with certain draft boards next week in an attempt to keep some of his charges from being called for induction into the Army. The University is one of only three colleges which are con ducting Upward Bound programs Buber s Principle Browsing Topic Rabbi Joseph H Clumbiner will discuss "Implications of Martin Buber's Principle of Dialogue" for the Browsing Room Lecture at B pm Wednesday in the Stu dent Union. Rahbi tJumbiner is director of the B’nai B'rith Hillel Founda tion at the University of Cali fornia in Berkeley. He is the for mer director of the Hillel Foun dation at Yale University. Tlie author of "Leaders of Our Peace Corps... (Continued from f'a<ir 1) Knaebel, speaking on the selec tion. said, "The only other guy who could do the job is Sean Connery (alias James Bond). Ser iously, Vaughn is an excellent replacement for Sargent Shriver He couldn't have been replaced by a better or more knowledge able person." Knaebel added, "Vaughn is ex tremely knowledgeable both about the developing world and the Peace Corps' role in it.” Vaughn, in a speech on the corps' fourth anniversary, said, “(in the Peace Corps) there is no negative issue But there is one problem we have . . . iPhas to do with a spirit, a (lag to carry at the head of this procession, for this crusade. We really need it in the worst way.” In praising the Peace Corps, Vaughn said it is the “spark" of the Alliance for Progress. “The Peace Corps is the only group that is providing this in Latin America today.” To the recruiters he said, "Please take this message to the young people you talk to. We need them badly.” On community development he said, "1 am pleased that the Latin American Division of the Peace Corps has made the term 'com munity development’ a household term.” On the Peace Corps Vaughn said, "I think the Peace Corps is freedom. It’s free-floating instead of freeloading, and it is important for people around the world to know that we are free.

Other Programs New York University and Flor ida A & M are the other two. However, 14 other colleges are now conducting programs which involve 10th and 11th grade stu dents who go to colleges on week ends for various activities and meetings; in the summer they attended each day. Next year there will be about 15(1 Upward Bound programs in operation in the United States. The schools will be selected for participation in the program on the basis of proposals submit ted to the Office of Economic Op portunity. Kevin Collins isn’t the only one in Upward Bound who is ex cited about the new learning ex periences being offered to these students—almost everyone else in the program thinks it’s great, Today Deadline For Petitions Deadline for filing petitions for ASUO elections is today at 5 p.m. Those filing petitions are also required to attend a meeting tonight at 7 p.m. The following positions are still open: freshmen class pres ident, freshmen class vice pres ident, eight senatOr-at-large po sitions, freshmen senate repre sentative, freshmen men’s dorm representative, co-op men’s rep and senior class representative.

"There is nothing you or I could do now to keep these kids out of college,” Collins said, "be cause they’re coming on and get ting excited about learning.” The next article in this series will describe some of the stu dents in Upward Bound and at tempt to show how the program looks to them.
