Program helps enroll students By Frale de Gu/man Emerald Reporter Students unable to meet the University's entry requirements still can be admitted under the Undergraduate Support Pro gram. also known as the Five Percent Plan. Under this program, high school senior with low grade point averages or test scores can be admitted into the University if they exhibit a “perceived potential to succeed in col lege,” said Bunny Nosier, counselor at the Office of Academic Advising. Since its inception in 1968. the definition of the Five Per cent Program has changed, in itially designed tu help disad vantaged youths who have little or no college preparatory background, the Five Percent Plan is now available to any stu dent who has been denied ad mission to the University, in spite of their economic, backgrounds. Students' eligibility for this program is based on counselor evaluations, student interviews and space. This year, 62 students were admitted as part of the Five Per cent Plan, an amount that fills "little more than half of our stu dent quota," said Wayne Nishlmura. associate director of admissions. Once admitted to the Univer sity. these students sign a con tract agreeing to take part in a year of planned studies all Reared toward development of students' study skills. In addi tion to these classes, students are required to meet with their counselors on a regular basis. “\V'e want them to know that we're watching them with a supportive eye," Nishimura said. "We want them to know we care." And for students at risk, this support may mean the dif ference between academic suc cess and failure. After a year of planned courses, students are able to mainstream into the general University curriculum. Some of the required classes Turn to Program, Page 4 Court Continued from Page 1 University law students in the legal research and writing pro grams were given a hands-on experience in the court process through observation of the high court's proceedings. The students are required to write opinions for one of the four cases they observed. The justices — Chief Justice Edwin Peterson and Assocoate justices Wallace Carson Jr., J.R. (Bob) Campbell, W. Michael Gillette, Robert Jones. Berkeley Lent and Hans Linde — will come to a conclusion about the cases at a later date after discussing the evidence that was presented during the morn ing and afternoon sessions. The first case, Fuhrer vs. Gearhart-by-the-Sea, involved a guest of the Clatsop County hotel who drowned while res cuing children (also guests of Open 24 Hours kinko's Creat copies Creat people 860 E 13th 344-7894 the hotel) from rough surf. The court will decide whether the hotel was obliged to warn its guests of the hazardous condi tions of ocean surf adjacent to the hotel. In the case of State of Oregon vs. Donovan, a man on proba tion was arrested for driving while' intoxicated. After the ar rest, the state sought to revoke his probation because of the charge. The man was found innocent of his probation violation but later was found guilty of drunk driving. The court now will decide whether a general ruling against the State of Oregon in a probation revocation hearing bars a later criminal trial on drunk-driving charges. The first case in the afternoon session, State of Oregon vs. Dix on, involved defendants appeal ing their convictions for grow ing marijuana because police obtained evidence leading to the convictions by entering their property without a warrent. However, the marijuana was found in open fields, and the U.S. Constitution recognizes an exception to the warrant re quirements. The Court must decide whether the Oregon Constitution, which expressly protects only the land im mediately around a person’s home, also protects against searching an open field without a warrant. The final case. Portland vs. Tidyman, challenges the con stitutionality of Portland’s or dinance regulating the location of adult bookstores.
