Portland State U niversity’s
S c h o la r s Program which em
p h a s iz e s Independent study,
currently Is accepting appli
cations from high school se
niors Interested In enrolling In
the program during the 1971-72
academic year.
D r. Judah Bierman director
of the U niversity Scholars Pro
gram, said 40 applications a l
ready have been received. The
program was begun last fa ll
with 50 students and an e n ro ll
ment of 1(X) entering freshmen
Is contemplated next fa ll.
The program, which stresses
I n d i v i d u a l competence rather
than competition for grades, Is
open to students who have
earned at least a 3.4 grade point
average In high school and who
have scored In the 600 range In
the mathematics and verbal
p o r t io n s
of college board
exams.
Each student In the program
Is assigned two adviser-tutors,
one from USP and one from the
d e p a r t m e n t of the student’s
major Interest.
Bierman explained that the
major thrust of the honors pro
gram Is to allow the students to
be "le a rn e rs on th e ir ow n," and
h« noted that much of the work
Is done outside the regular
classroom situations. A student
may, If he meets all graduation
requirements, earn his bache
lors degree In fewer than the
usual 12 quarters.
High school students wishing

scholars program should w rite
