gl, f 1 V V Paul F. Monahan Jr. ..,,-o. George: Yeah, I think so. lt's added a lot. People like the place. People come by on weekends when l'm on duty and I take the time to unlock the build- ings and show them around. They're always im- pressed with the place. lt's a beautiful school I think the students like it. lt's beautiful and it's running real beautiful now too. lt's running real smooth. m TRACY NELSON AND FRIEND Tracy: This school is so unorganized it's sick. They got their heads up their ass. Friend: Students don't have any say in what's going on. Tracy: They don't want to! They're all so apathetic... apathetic good for nothing! Friend: But the whole world is now! Tracy: I see this school as one piece of apathetic cement They don't do anything. They had petitions up against racism...people were too crazy to sign it! One kid was talking to me, she said, What is this shit? People don't care if you're black or white--they don't care if you're a person, never mind if you're black or white! lt's true! They'd pass you by anyway- lt doesn't matte if you're black or white, they don't care! You're just ignored! passed by! Hey, man, l'm gunna live my life the way I want to. l'm not botherin' anybody, so don't bother me! There should be a little more caring for one another. People get shocked when you say hello to them. Not all people...some say hello- but most of the time if you say hi to somebody, they'll turn around to see if you're talking to someone else. They're not used to it.i3 Kathleen L.

A Jose IVI. Pacheco g David J Packard Charles W Page adults that, in our society, is pretty much restricted to high school students who are in college prep courses. So the E.O.C. opens up that counseling to a vast number of people. The College Now project will have 250 students in it by September. The Upward Bound project services approximately 90 high school students. Talent Search is counseling about 600 people and E.O.C. this past year provided some sort of services to about 8,000 people. We had about 2,000 counselors and actually placed a little over 7,000 people into high educational institutes, just thru the E.O.C. So all told on a yearly basis these projects probably assist about l,200 people to get into colleges and universities, who would not otherwise have had the chance to do that simply because the way in, the access would've been closed to them. And, essentially I oversee these programs. lt's quite a large enterprise, for example,l have a staff of 60 working this summer, however, except for the College Now program most of these programs don't have that much impact, directly on SMU student They have a bigger impact on the outside community. Chris: Have you had any students graduate from here that have gone thru your programs. David' Yes, College Now has had 43 or 44 graduates a number of whom became affiliated with College Now thru the Upward Bound program. Chris: Do you find a great difference between the College Now students and the regular admissions students? David: Not after they're here. Initially we do because the College Now students would not have been eligible for regular admissions so if it weren't for the program they would not have had the opportunity to come. Once the students get here, particularly after the first year which can be a little difficult for people, there isn't any way of telling how the students got here. We've had a number of honor roll students every semester. . -L ' DianalVl Pereira D
