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

department. In fact there are more
riders than bikes, and bicycle

perience inspiring and
beneficial.
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).
