PAGE THREE THE LANCE NOV. 18, 1982 SACK Programs Help Kids By JOHN A. PAIT The St. Andrews College for Kids (SACK) has entered its fourth year of existence this 1982-83 academic year. This experimental school for the gifted and talented children of the area has 22 students enrolled, all bet ween the ages of 10 to 14. To be accepted the Students must have scored well on a WISC-R in telligence test, present a special research project, par ticipate in an interview, and show that they place two years above their normal grade level on the state ac cepted California achieve ment test. The program has “been different each of the four years”, according to Dr. O. Eugene Smith, Chairman of the Teacher Education Pro gram. Changes have come in the number of students, and in the people involved in the program. Dr. Smith serves as an ad visor and helps direct the program. Dr. Smith feels that so far the “experiment” has been an overall success. According to Dr. Smith, students that leave the SACK Continued From Page 1 shall then refer their revised proposal to the entire Senate for approval.” After all the presentations were com pleted each Senator drew up a separate budget proposal. During the first run through the requests, the Senators were on the average, in agreement on the obvious cuts. . After a few more cuts and a five per cent decrease across the board, the magic number was arriv ed at. “Upon Senate ratification by majority vote, the Presi dent of the Senate shall pre sent this legislation to the President of the Student Association for approval or veto.” The Budget Commit tee introduced its proposed budget on the Senate floor. After deliberation the pro posed budget was ratified by a unanimous decision. Vice-President Dave Saunier then presented it to the Cabinet and President Ike McRee. The ensuing hour long discussion resulted in Ike’s signature and the ap proval of the 1982-83 Stu dent Government Associa tion Budget. The following are Ike’s comments concerning this year’s hiiH(?et. “It is unfortunate that the Student Association is en countering sucba large defict this year but I feel that in the long run the deficit may be a positive factor. Positive in that clubs and organizations will aaain j?et used to fund raising and in turn will be able to provide bigger and better activities for the St. Andrews community. It is also important that clubs and organisations begin to cooperate more in sponsor ing activities and I see Bob Dascombe in his position as Secretary for Student Ser vices playing an important role in organizing what has become a club union.” “This year’s Senate Budget Committee should be commended for the thorough and professional manner in which it handled the budget. When I received the budget from the Senate I was con cerned that the money had been inequitably distributed in some areas but after receiving advice from the Cabinet I decided that this budget was probably the best one that would come from the Senate.” Pizza Iim Presents g>ECTACULAR Is BUFFET SPECIALS Enjoy all the pizza and salad you can eat NOON BUFFET Monday thru Friday 11 a.m.-2 p.m. TUESDAY NIGHT BUFFET E very Tuesday Night 5 p.m.-9 p.m. SUNDAY SMORGASBORD Every Sunday 12 Noon-3 p.m. Pizza initi program tend to “adjust well to other schools, and often perform better than many of the students already atten ding the schools. Of course each program has its exceptions, but as a whole Dr. Smith believes the SACK program to be wor thwhile and beneficial to the children. “One must remember that the program is still in the experimental stage.” Dr. Alvin Smith directs the research and serves as the SACK Psychologist. After this year he will analyze and studv the program to see the good and bad points of the program. The good will be left alone, while the bad will be improved. The SACK Program is designed to allow the student to study within the peer support structure. There is little separation of age groups, and each child is given plenty of room for in dividual study. The program also offers education majors to get ex perience teaching and relating to the gifted and talented student. In the Minority Program, St. An drews students are given Carl’s Cosmic Crew Cosmic Carl’s Crew Cleans Lake By STORMY INGOLD On Saturday, October 30th Carl Walters’ freshman S.A.G.E. class carried out their plans to clean-up St. Andrews Lake Ansley Moore. The class had named themselves “Cosmic Carl’s Clean-UP Crew” and had decided to undertake this project due to their concern about the trash that littered the banks and waters edge of the lake. The objective was to rid the lake of its visible pollution and to make the St; Andrews community aware that some of the students do care about the condition of our environment. The class iS hoping that when other students see the cleaner lake, they will take it upon themselves not to litter. The areas that needed cleaning most were the Belk patio area, the Granville beach area, behind the Morgan-Jones science building, and the fishing area. After concentrating on these spots, “Cosmic Carl’s Clean-up Crew” had col lected three tires, two chairs, a table top, two trash cans, various wood scraps, a boat from a previous Ex- travangza, and over twenty bags of cans, bottles, platic debris, and other small bits of trash. responsibility for one or two of the SACK children. Funding for the SACK program comes from the children’s tuition. The col lege offers space, heat, ad vice, and the use of other facilities. The teachers for the 1982-83 year are Donna Or- mand, teacher and coor dinator, and Carolyn Deb- nam a part-time assistant teacher. Both ladies have children enrolled in the pro gram. fior Your WHO: Dr. Don Huisingh, Professor of Environmental Studies at N.C. State Univer sity.

Although the class was disappointed in the lack of response from people outside their own class, they felt good about what theii small ^roup accomplished'. After SIX hours of hard work, the class felt it had done the best job possible, so the clean-up was a successv not only in the actual trash collected, but in the feeling of accomplishment it gained.
