According to director Ms. Hazel Lipscomb, Operation Breakthrough's Head Start program has receiv ed a 6.5fo cost of living increase for next year. The program, which ac cording to a program spokesman. has a $609,605 annual budget, will increase by an estimated $93,785. Head Start receives its funding from the Department of Health and Human Ser vices. The 1983 budget will be about $703,000. Cost of living in creases are allotted to programs according to increases in the con sumer price index (CPI). A rise in the CPI means that goods and services . cost more and the dollar is less valuable. The government increases its funding to programs because the programs re quire more money to provide the same ser vices. Since 1965, Head Start has provided a kindergarten prdgram for three to five year olds whose family income meets the income pover ty guideline set by the federal government . There are 32,735 families , approximately w th re ared chi dren million under age 6 in North Carolina -a; or below the poverty threshold of $8414 annual income for a family of -four accor ding to the 1980 Census figures. Figures for the number of families with children under 6 in Durham who meet the income poverty level were not available. Ms. Lipscomb told The Carolina Times that Head Start can take more children and more tdasses because ofthe ex tra money. "We can start two additional classes which means two more teachers and 40 more children," she said.

It is estimated that 30 of all students who enter North Carolina public schools will not graduate. North Caroli nians without a high, school diploma number two For years the Depart ment of Community Colleges has provided basic education services for these adults at its 58 member institutions across the state. Yet these programs reach on ly 36,000 adults annually a small portion of those who need help. What has hampered these efforts is a d i s t r i b u t i o n necessary to classes." Most of these poten tial students, however, do have access to - a television set. Thus the statewide broadcast system of The Center promises to offer a hopefully efficient solu-. tion to the distribution problem for adult educa tion. As with The Center's college telecourse pro gram, adult learners visit a nearby institution only to enroll, consult with teachers, and take tests. The actual 'classroom' ' is anywhere students and their television, sets get together. Beginning Monday, September 6, the courses will be broadcast from ' 8-8:30 a.m. weekdays and re-runs weekday afternoons from 3:30-4 p.m., and from 7-8 a.m. on Saturdays (only GED repeated).

"That statistic produced," Vandergrift. Each of the program's three series offers in struction on a different educational level.

Testing (GED) offers preparatory instruction for the high school equivalency examina tion. Because adult il literacy is such a pressing concern in North Carolina, The Center has decided to run air three courses concurrently. "This is the first instance we know of," Vandergrift said, "where a state has used all three programs at one time." How will the pro grams' success be deter mined?
