Tobaccoville Head
Start gets new trailer
By YVETTE N. FREEMAN
Community News Editor
, The Tobaccoville Head Start
program recently moved into a new
trailer building just in time for the
holidays.
The participants of the program
moved into the new facility the
week after Thanksgiving, after
being housed previously in another
trailer that is much smaller and
, over 15 years old.
Doris Vaughns, who has been
the supervisor and a teacher at the
Center for nearly four years now, is
excited aboi)t the move and said
that it was time for a change.
"When I first came in, over
there, it was a little run down, but
we were still occupying it. It was
okay," she said. "But the age of the
building ? it was just not going to
hold up very much longer. And it
served its purpose."
The new facility is now much
more suited to accommodate the
staff and 23 students of the pro
gram, with room to grow. But for
now** Vaughns said that it is unde
cided whether more children will be
enrolled at the Center.
MThe square footage of the
trailer is actually large enough to
service more than 23 children, but
that would be up to our director to
make the decision on whether we
will service more," Vaughns said.
The Head Start program was
established over 20 years ago dur
ing the Johnson administration as
an anti-poverty program to. serve
the needs of young children from <
low-income families.
The Tobaccoville Head Start
Center serves children ages three to
five-years-old from the Tobaccov
ille, Rural Hall, and Old Town
areas.

Alexander said.
One assignment is to promote
scholarship and loan programs that
help disadvantaged Americans
afford college. Another assignment
is to enforce laws that say that col
leges receiving federal funds may
not discriminate based upon race,
color or national origin.
After a 90-day period for com
ment on the latest guidelines issued
December 4, 1991, the Department
of Education ^will publish its set of
final principles to be usVei in
reviewing all complaints of discrim
ination concerning race-exclusive
college financial aid. The depart
ment will also offer technical advice
to those colleges that may wish to
adjust their financial aid programs
based upon the new set of princi
ples. The old rules appeared to con
tradict Title Six of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act. ^
"The Department (of Educa
tion) does not want any student now
attending college on race-exclusive
scholarship to lose that scholarship
as a result of the formulation of
these principles. Therefore, where
these principles require the adjust
ment of any college financial aid
prdgram, there will be a four-year
transition period during which the
Department will work with colleges
to bring them into compliance with
out harming any student under
scholarship," says the statement
from Secretary Alexander and
? ^ Williams.
%
The five new principles listed
in the guidelines were:
1) Race-Neutral Aid for Dis
advantaged Students ? Colleges
may make awards to disadvantaged
students without regard to race,
even if that means that such awards
go disproportionately to minority
students.
2) Scholarships to create
Diversity ? A college may consid
er race as one factor among several
when awarding scholarships
designed to help create the kind of
campus environment that results
from having a population with a
variety of experiences, opinions,
backgrounds and cultures. -. <
3) Race-Exclusive Aid to
Remedy Discrimination ? A Col
lege may award race-exclusive
scholarships when that is necessary
to overcome past discrimination.
4) Federal Race-Exclusive
Scholarships ? Congress wrote
Title VI, and Congress (within the
limits of the U.S. Constitution) may
create exceptions to Title VI,
according to the new rules.
5) Privately Funded Race
Exclusive Scholarships That Do
Not Limit Aid Opportunities for
other Students ? A college may
administer private donor race-schol
arships where that aid does not limit
the amount, type or terms of finan
cial aid available to any student
Educators reviewing the Princi
ples said changes may be required
in the last two rules.
