Summer plan for minorities receives praise

The new summer program proposed by the University to prepare certain minority middle and high school students for University life has received mixed reactions. The proposed program would have the University recruit 700 academically gifted, economically disadvantaged minority students after their eighth-grade year. Thereafter, these students would attend a two-week session every summer until college where they would be taught lessons about computers, standardized tests and some academic aspects of the University.
