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

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.”

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

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

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.
