All freshman student athletes
with less than a 3.0 grade point
average are required to take part in
this program.
They must spend at least six
hours per week in the library study¬
ing, reading or doing homework.
They must also check in and out
during this program.
The hours for this program are 8
am. to noon Monday through Fri¬
day and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday

According to Knudsen, this aca¬
demic assistance is not only avail¬
able to freshmen and struggling
students. /.
"The program is open to all stu¬

school work," Knudsen said.
Tutors are also available for al¬
most all classes to' help answer
questions. '
Also available to intercollegiate
athletes is Athletics 10. a class

According to Knudsen, the pro¬
gram has been a tremendous suc¬

Admissions
From page 1
said Robert Hernandez, director of
EOP.
"Our students are those with a
family history of low income,"
Hernandez said. "That's our num¬
ber one criteria."
Another basis to qualify for EOP
is that the student has to be the first
from his or her family to attend
college.
Students in EOP traditionally
perform near but slightly lower
than their non-EOP counterparts.
"Our group has about a 2.5
[grade point] average," Hernan¬
dez said. "Our-students generally
take about five, to six years to
graduate." ^I
While EOP has traditionally been
a benefactor to ethnic groups such
as Latinos, African-Americans and
Native Americans, it isn't limited
to any racial boundaries.
"If a poor white student met our
criteria,, he'-d be admitted,"
Hernandez said. "In fact, we prob¬
ably have more Southeast Asian
students (in thePprogram] than
American-Indians.'*" n»
Among the guidelines for spe¬
cial-admission students is a
monthly consultation with a coun¬
selor and weekly meetings with a
peer adviser.
These guidelines cover students
in EOP arid athletes and includes
^fe
NEW HEALTH
& COUNSELING
CENTER HOURS
such programs as Summer Bridge
and tutorial sessions.
The athletic admissions repre¬
sent a small portion Of the special
admissions each year.
However, there are only 550 ath¬
letes on campus, while 45 are ad¬
mitted annually via special admis¬
sion.
While athletes in general make
up only 3 percent of the overall
population, athletes make up ap-.
proximately. 5 percent of special
admissions!
According to Robert Knudsen,
assistant athletic director, the ath¬
letic admissions are compqsed of
the same demographic group that
makes up EOP.
"These are inner-city kids,"
Knudsen said. "It's really the same
population as EOP in general."
