Upward Bound: Good or Bad? . .. f( onhnurn from page I) feels that tt iti not even yet di reeled toward the right group. "We have to stop talking to middle clash kids. We have to start talking to lower class people about lower class kids," DeBerry emphasized Hperlal College A special college within the University, which would consist of only Upward Bound students, i many of them taking special in troductory courses to prepare them for regular college level courses, was one suggestion he gave "The Equal Educational Oppor tunity College," as DeBerry called it, would even give degrees it would be sort of like the Honors College, but would deal with stu dents who are poorly prepared for college, instead of those who are very well prepared for it DeBerry would have the up ward Bound students live togeth er. in effect segregated from nth ei students He feels their being grouped together would give them sufficient confidence to make college much easier for them. Sometime during their sopho more year, the Upward Bound stu dents could be phased into other living groups Directly disagreeing with De Berry's viewpoint is John How aid, assistant professor of sociol ogy and a member of the pro gram’s faculty advisory council. “Negative Honors College” Howard feels that the “nega tive Honor* College," such as the one suggested by DeBerry, would give rise to a stigma about its stu dents' being academically "in ferior." "The segregation (such as De Berry would have the Upward Bound students in until their sophomore year) process itself is not what evoke* a negative re action. but the reason for the segregation," the sociologist ex plained Letters__j (CK»iw«rrf friun f'otti' yes. She J* also very serious about trying to change things in this land for the better So is the National Council. So are a lot of us So what does Mr Ftiggs offer7 Basically, the same kind of negative philosophy which we have heard, southern fried, in a different context. "Northern agitators," that one usually goes, "come to the South on an abmird mission, one that is contrary to the nature of how the American South operates." Hemember7 I for one give both Miss Ash ley and the "northern agitators” a good chance of doing some thing that will ultimately change their respective fields for the better. Both causes arc worth the effort. Bill laivell Junior, English * » * Howard suggested that the oinht week summer session held for Upward Hound be made more like an actual college’s atmos pn«*re, ho that the? increased com petition would not discourage the students. Its a tremendous mark of success that so many of them are still here," he commented, since a third to a half of all freshmen diop or dunk out every year, any way. Assistant geology professor 0. I' Benson, also a member of the Appointments (Continued from pane ]) JcHsio L. Puckett, associate pro fessor of physical education and a member of the Committee, asked that the student body pres- j ident and whoever else is involv ed in the selection of the court J members "work together and have co operation in the work of our committee rather the student group and not the faculty.” Goldschmidt said he didn't en- ! vision the taking of this duty by ; his office as a “power situation.” I envision it as trying to make the system work,” he said Me said student body presi dents in the past haven't taken much of an interest in the af fairs of the court systems. "Most of them have never sat in on a session," he said. "But I think the reason is that the thing is so far away from them.” Important Part "This is one of the most im portant parts of student life, and the reason they aren't showing more interest is because the re sponsibility has been lifted off their shoulders, Goldschmidt said. Another point discussed for the Friday meeting was a rule in II 1)5, which allows for the as sociate dean of students to not turn over a case to the student courts on the ground of "psy chological abnormality, mental illness, or other unusual circum stances.” Bob Carl objected to the fact the associate dean of students had the authority to decide whether or not the student is "normal ” He suggested this should be done by the counseling service or someone who is trained in this held. These points will be discussed at the Friday meeting and pos sibly at a retreat Committee meeting, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 5. Correction The time of the lecture by Morris Yarowsk.v was incorrect as printed in Wednesday’s Emer ald The correct time is 4 p.m. today. The lecture, "Image and Meta Image in Contemporary Paint," is the third of a series sponsor ed by the University School of Architecture and Allied Arts. • • • Senate Stand (Continued from t'tifjf 6) problem that should and does concern every student. And that, too, is worthwhile! Recognizing that students do indeed care very much about Viet Nam and that they have a right and responsibility to see their views expressed, does not mean that the Senate will be less effec tive in dealing with "local,’’ campus problems. In fact, by broadening the range of issues and by involving and interesting more students, the Senate and students of this Vni \ersity can have a larger voice in decisions now being made by the faculty and administration. In other words, to have an impact on issues like the football stadium, closing hours, mandatory physical education, lighted tennis courts, the Mosser plan, and improved curriculum, the campus political system gets students interested in its activities. The best way to do that is to consider issues like Viet Nam. r i 13th Ave. Laundromat 365 E. 13th WASH DRYER Coin A Bill Changers Vending Machines Hair Dryers Weekday Laundry A Ironing Complete 24 hour Laundry Service faculty advisory council, has sev eral Upward Hound students in his geology classes and knows others, as well. Benson feels very strongly that most of the students in the pro gram had little or no idea about the work that would be involved in attending college when they came to the University. Communication Hinders Even their communication with other people in the University. has hindered their educational process; "learning the language of college,” said Benson, is a big project for a person who has ■ never come into contact with an j academic environment before. “Some of the kids in this pro gram are unimpressive . . . while others are fjuite impressive,” he explained, "and somewhere in it there are kids who are college material and can be successful.” I Benson also feels that the sum mer session should be conducted ; more rigorously, to get the stu dents used to the idea of hard work. The geologist considers the pro gram to be “a potentially useful thing,” but one on which a lot | of work is needed. Classroom Problems "It’s really a problem in the classroom, adapting to the com munications styles of the pro fessors,” replied Upward Bound counselor Chuck DeMars when asked about the problems en countered by the students in the program. A senior in psychology, DeMars is quite enthusiastic about the Upward Bound program and it?; students; he has been assigned to counsel nine of them and spends much of his time solving stu dents’ problems. “Some of these boys came from backgrounds where college was out of the question,” he explained, j Either because of their finanical status or their lack of academic background, the program’s stu dents all started out at a terrific disadvantage. "They have an amazing ability to catch up,” the counselor affim ed. They can group to beat the University system.” ' They tutor each other and wc do things socially as a group,” he continued. DeMars also said that, although "some professors have been very helpful in giving additional help, ’ others have not. He would like to see more faculty members help. “If the University would oper ate an Upward Bound program on a large scale, there’d be some outstanding things happening,” he concluded.
