Students entering the program must score,at or above the 50th percentile on the California Achievment Test (CAT), said Dr. Melvin Gadson of the Department of Education at WSSU who is director of the program. If a child hits the 50 percent mark on the CAT, that means half of the youngsters in the same grade across the nation who take the test score higher and half score lower. "There are no programs for the average student for the most part," Gadson said. And average students constitute the largest portion of the enrollment in the school system, roughly 67 percent. "Manv r?f ?l- - ? - * * .'.mi; u. iiiv vuiiuivii in me average group tena to underachieve," he said. Numerous factors can influence underachieves like poor study habits, lack of concentration, inconsistancy in completing an assignment, lack of appropriate motovation and, in some instances, the lack of sufficient parental support, he added. For the past year, Gadson has helped coordinate the development of the Kenan project. The venture is funded by the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable -lam.?? ??? ? .?? Kenan was a wealthy businessman from North Carolina who died in 1965 and left $65 million to establish the trust that supports several educational programs, according to Dr. David Spense of the Southern Regional Education Board in Atlanta. The board administers the Kenan project funds which are intended to assist traditionally black colleges.
