More than 100 Upward Bound students at Langston University Thursday heard State Sen­ ator E.

He said he was concerned about th^ younger generation. “ The younger generation w an# a change in direction and challenges the present system,” Senator Porter stated, “but you must be willing to accept the responsibilities that go with it.” Senator Porter explained that politics is one
