FOR THE RECORD
In its Aug. 2 edition, the
Chronicle incorrectly reported
that the Upward Bound program
at Winston-Salem State University
began in 1976. It, in fact,
began in 1966. Also, Addie
Hymes, the program's director,
has two additional full-time staff
members who assist her and the
program's teachers receive a
small stipend.
The Chronicle regrets the errors.
