SOAR, Seizing Opportunities for Achievement and Retention, is a six-week academic summer program for minority students sponsored by Minority Student Services. This program helps students improve their writing, verbal, mathematical, social and study skills. "The program helps them to overcome any academic deficit in the basic skill areas," said Justina Gonzalez-Marti, SOAR Coordinator. SOAR participants are required to enroll in three summer classes. Among the choices are: • Fundamentals of Oral Communication • English Composition • Selected Topics in English • College Algebra. Students are placed in these classes based on placement exam scores. Participants are also required to attend at least two hours of tutoring for each class, a total of six hours of tutoring a week.

First Future editor left UCF for Hollywood, traded diploma for success, five Emmys by JEFF HUNT News editor Most people watch television. Stephen Jones makes it. The University of Central Florida graduate lives just outside of Hollywood, Ca., and makes his living as a freelance cameraman for several popular television shows including The John Larroquette Show and Minor Adjustment. Jones has had great success in the land of opportunity, winning five Emmys in the last 16 years. And once shooting for the regular television season is finished, Jones is no less busy. He is currently working on the sets of several experimental programs, or pilots, including one with Bill Cosby based on a British series about a grave digger. However, Jones readily admits he did not start out to work behind the camera. As a student at Florida Technical University in the early '70s, he studied print journalism with a small mix of radio/television and advertising/public relations. Jones said FTU did not have the well-defined programs UCF has today, nor the buildings. "You wouldn't have recognized it," said Jones in a cool Cali- fornian tone, making him sound more like 25 than 45. "People used to get (FTU) confused with a small university called Mid-Florida Tech.

As editor, he spent much of his time following the topics of the day including campus protests of the Vietnam War and the opposition to those protests. One particular series of articles the cameraman looks back on fondly is when he covered the formation of FTU's Student Government. "It was laughable," Jones said. "You had a bunch of young Republicans trying to emulate the government at a time when all kinds of anti- government protests were going on." Jones said a few of the Future's, articles on the mayhem between the protesters and the Student Government landed him in front of the Supreme Court of FTU. However, he did not allow the turmoil to hinder him or his plans in the communications field. He secured a job with Channel 9, a local television station, and interned one summer for The Orlando Sentinel. After graduating in 1972, he went to work for the Sentinel as one of only two reporters in the Marion County bureau. Jones had to take all the photos for his own stories which made him start kicking around the idea of doing something other than working for a newspaper. see EDITOR, page 2 Women pay when it comes to shopping by EMILY J.
