Upward Bound
Forget differences tolearn By Pam Taylor Summer Editor Indians from the desert, Chicanos from Cali fornia, blacks from New York and whites from
Utah all meet together to do a little "soul-searching" or bridge whatever gaps they have. Some 75 people at Utah State will be doing that during a ten week Upward Bound program being held on the campus.

The 55 students are from ''low-income'' families, some 40 percent of them Navaho. The rest are from Brooklyn, Brigham City and points in between. Some are bounders (still in high school) while others are bridge students (about to enter college) but all are there to learn. Although they are a highly mixed group there isn't much problem, according to Richard Shafer, staff member and teacher. "Racial differences are forgotten after the first few days, except for a few jokes about suntans," he said. Joy Andrews, one of the Upward Bound students and editor of the weekly paper, stated that there is a real informal atmosphere in the program. "We have rapping sessions with the staff and live-in counselors," she said. "It's a place where a kid could really do some soul -searching." One of the highlights of the ten weeks so far was a camping trip up Logan Canyon, according to Shafer. "Black kids from New York can't believe you sleep outside, 11 he said. He added that they took portable record players and were playing "soul music" around the camp fire. The program includes c lasses which are taught every day on the University campus. Courses in math, English and physical education are required and electives are offered in the afternoons. Jim Butler , director of the program, says that his goal for Upward Bound is to see the exstudents take over the program by themselves. He tries to hire former Upward Bound participants as much as possible. Shafer , who teaches verbal development (English), says that he tries to use the 11 campus without walls" idea. His classes have been held at the old school house in Mendon, a small town west of Logan, and in the cemetary adjacent to the campus. The participants are given a chance to voice their views through the weekly newspaper or during pane l discussions held in some of the Uni versity c lasses. "There is no set staff for the paper, 11 Miss Andrews who is in charge of it said. "Contributions flow in from everywhere. [f the kid has an editoria l , let him write it." According to Shafer, 90 per cent of the Upward Bound students will enter college after completing the program.

booze, (beer).
Hot weather, idleness and boredom are often the sce ne in Logan when the Walt Disney reruns come to town and the students head for the sweatshops a ll over the USA to earn ~ the coin to return in the fa ll. To make it easleronthosewhostayand remain unemployed , here is a recipe for a lit tl e happi ness at 59 a quart and up to 13% alcohol by volume. Hitch down to sa feway and get some Blue Ribbon Hop Flavored Malt Syrup, (in the syrup section of course). Buy two pounds of sugar for every gallon of water you decide to use, (this r ecipe makes 8 to 15 gallons, and that's a lot of beer). You can vary that white sugar with a Uttle brown or some molasses. Get one package of yeast and dissolve it in a c up of wate r . Mix all this crap together, make sure the water was warm, and put it in a c rock or a plastic garbage ca n. ¡ Thr ow a little fruit in too, like a package of raisins or prunes to he lp this necter of the gods fe rment. I hope you stirred it all up. Now cover and let it si t at room tempera~ure for two to three weeks, (until it quits fizzing, I guess). Pour in clean pop or beer bottles, cap it, (get caps and capper at Grand Central), place bottles in cool, safe place for about a week or more. If you capped them too early they will explode, so be sure they are in a safe place, but don't worry, that's just part of the game. , Expe r ime nt with the reci pe, you may want to make beer with ruhbarb to drink with balo ney sandwiches, or gooseberries to serve to uninvited guests -- it's limitless. The Stickey Fingers Brewery Is happy to provide this easy to use recipe in the hopes that Cache Valley youngsters will turn away from marijuana and other dangerous drugs. Richard Shafer

Outdoor program offers chance toseenature By Lucy Thomas Man and His World's Summer Outdoor Program ls now offering activities both for the experienced outdoorsman and for "those with a desire to commune with nature, but as of yet unskilled in the basics of an activity." Under the direction of J. J. Platt 1 the program coordinator, the Outdoor Program can offer activities such as hikin g, backpacking , fishing (fly-tyin g), bow-and -arrow hunting and canoeing. Outdoor cooking (sourdough, barbeque 1 etc.), spe lunkin g, and bicycling are also planned. For all those interested in bicycling, there will be a short ride at 5:30 p.m., June 25, beginning on the south lawn of the University Center. After the ride, discussions on improving the bike facilities on campus , making new bike paths for the area and getting more parti ci pants to bicycle wt II be held. Various camping trips sponsored by universities in the West and Canada are also planned by campuses with a "Man and His World Program." These trips last about a week and include hiking and back-packing in National Parks and other mountain areas in Idaho, Montana, Oregon 1 Wyoming, and British Columbia.
Appllcatlons for parti cipa tin g in the Outdoor Program are available in the UCatU1eActivity Center and in room 318. "All outings and activities on campus are initiated, organized and executed by the participants thems elves. The program functions to allow people with similar interests to share experiences."

Sandi Diamanti and Louise Butler Baugh both d1d charming jobs as the giggling Pigeon sisters, Gwendolyn and Ceclly - or is it Cecily and Gwendolyn? At any rate, Nell Simon's play proves to be an exce llent commentary, satire, or even farce on married Ille, and Ute compa ny at the Old Lyri c has come through in great contemporary t.:Lshionwith a truly funny debut.
