Pearl Says: 'Upward Bound Students Face Integration Problems By MARTHA SHERWOOD Krarralc staff Wrin-r Arthur S. Pearl, professor of education and head of Upward Bound, spoke Sunday to the Lu theran Student Association on ■ the difficulties which Upward ( Bound students have in integrat-, ing socially on campus. His talk dealt with two as pects of the problem: the unwil lingness of students and faculty | to accept Upward Bound students j and the tendency of disadvan taged people to band together in their search for security. According to l'earl, the Up ward Bound students have been made to feel inadequate at; school and have had “an identity | imposed on them." University people have continued the pro-: cess of social and intellectual seg regation troth by direct insults and by a condescending attitude, j he said. Pearl said people had voiced re sentment to the government money that the Upward Bound students were getting, even though these people themselves were getting government subsi dies. One woman was quoted as having said "They're the ones who look as if they don’t belong on campus.” Pearl stressed the need for campus groups to encourage Up ward Bound students. He said he also felt that some of the fac ulty were punishing students who had been punished for 18 years and needed rewards and encouragement more. The second half of the speech dealt with the search for iden titay in a dehumanizing society. This problem. Pearl said, is par ticularly acute for minority groups who tend to band to Kether and create self-segrega tion. Pearl expanded the notion of identity-seeking to include peo ple in general. Personal identity and to a certain group identity are necessary to integrate into a so ciety. He expressed concern for those who base their identities on frau dulent grounds and on nostalgia. Both right-wing and left-wing political organizations, he said, in dulge in nostalgia. The right - wingers want to go back to sim ple community and family organi zation, the left-wingers to the good-versus-bad disputes of the thirties. He concluded with an appeal to the Lutheran Student Organi zation and other such campus sub groups to help the Upward Bound students both by acting as tutors and by inviting them to share in social life, to discover their iden tities and become true members of the campus community.

This service, at the Main Desk, is our pleasure, but it does sometimes bring moments of pain . . . especially when checks are returned due to non sufficient funds. V When writing checks, double-check your bank balance, make sure what you think will be a “good check” doesn’t turn out to be a “bad check.” V y°ur check is returned, you will have to pay a service charge of $2.00. This is in addition to any service charges en forced by your bank. Another sound reason to double-check your bank balance. \/ Anyone writing two “bad checks” will not be allowed to enjoy the privilege of cashing checks at either the Student Union or the Co-op for the remainder of the school year. Please bear with us during those occasional times when the Main Desk is unable to cash your check. An average of $200 in checks is cashed each hour and unexpected demands deplete the supply of cash on hand. TJ Model Discovery Kristin Goode \ Ft. Lauderdale, Fia.
