Upward appa rei By NICK PARHAM Upward Bound, a dynami program designed to expos the underprivileged higl school student to the colleg environment with the goal a inspiring post secondary work, is in its' third week on the U. S. C. campus. An early Great Society project has been in operation for seven years and is funded by the Office of Education. Facilities, faculty, and equipment are provided by the university. "High school has not turned them on," stated director Catherine Pelot. "Most (students) are not working up to their potential when taken into the program. We attempt to turn them on." Participants are referred to the program by teachers, friends, and guidance coun selors for the most part. The individual must be a high school student, live in the Columbia area, and come from a family unable to bear the financial burden of providing a college education. From the start of his sophomore year in high school, the individual is involved in yea'- round activities. Workshops are held every other weekend on the USC campus during the winter months. Any tutoring or counseling that the individual needs is provided them. During the summer, the student lives on the USC Charity ride Continued from page 1 various departments and representatives from the athletic department. In fact there are more riders than bikes, and bicycle loans for the event are needed. The more than 400 riders ex pected will be served refreshments on the route donated by Pepsi Cola Co. and local grocers. The route starts at the municipal parking lot Taylor and Assembly - west oni Taylor to Huger St. - south oni Whaley - east on Whaley tc Assembly - south on Assembly tc Rosewood - east on Rosewood te Marshall St. - north to Colonial Drive - to Harden Extension - wesi on Harden to Bull -south on BullUt Elmwood - west on Elmwood to the parking lot.

The students also are in volved in the selection of faculty and have the option of not re-hiring a faculty member if he has been ineffective. John Gardner, assistant director, said, "the professor damn well better have something going or in his class or else." Upward Bound also features a great deal of out of class study so as to provide the students with a true learning experience. For example, a sociology class studying deviant behavior, visited a mental hospital for a first hand view of that form of deviance. While the mornings are filled with classes, the afternoons are spent in such projects as publishing a weekly newspaper and producing plays. The success or failure of the program hinges on what the students decide to do after graduation. This year's results indicate that the program is highly successful. According to counselor Charles Bolden, "During the 1971-1972 school year we had fifty-three seniors enrolled in the program. Those seniors are now planning either military service (2), U. S. Military Academy (1), Technical or business school (7), or finalizing plans for attending institutions of higher learning (43).
