Ufyp Saihj (Tar Upri Report: Race Plays Role in SATs By Kristina Casto Staff Writer Racial differences in the quality of education accounts for a significant scholastic aptitude test score gap between blacks and whites, according to a recent report. Released Jan. 31 by the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, the report found a national racial disparity of 199 points in SAT scores. The study compared the black-white scoring gap in each state and then com pared the individual gaps to a national average. Despite a 47-point gain among black students who took the SAT over the last 13 years in North Carolina, the study reported a continued 194-point dispari ty in the state. New Hampshire reported the small est racial gap at 14 points while the District of Columbia reported the largest racial gap at 409 points. Henry Johnson, the associate super intendent of instructional and account ability services in the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, did not agree that educational racial bias alone accounted for the test score gap. “I don’t think that is necessarily tiue that the color of the person sitting beside llelpWanted lUcnutan's.

But his optimism was not universal. Robert Slater, managing editor of the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education and author of the study, said there was little hope in solving the racial gap. “There (has been) virtually no progress whatsoever in the last 25 years,” Slater said. “There is no indica tion there will be a closing of the gap.” He pointed to the complexities involved in solving the problems of the educational system. Immediate concerns about decreas ing school resources and unqualified teachers are only the tip of the iceberg, Slater said. Educational biases reflected in the score gap are rooted in systemic social and economic inequality, he said. “There is no quick fix,” Slater said. “If I had the answer, I would be the presi dent of the United States.” Jon Sanders, director of publication at Help Wanted | Child Care 1 CHILD CARE FOR 12 year old Seeking caring, creative, responsible, non-smoker with car to help after school, occasional evenings Some chauffeuring required $7.50/hr. plus expenses.

Sanders said socioeconomic dispari ty, as well the racial bias of the SAT and in the delivery of education, could all be factors in the SAT performance gap. Many officials, including Sanders, have advocated voucher programs to offer students the option of attending a private school free of charge. They argued that the programs would improve the quality of schools by creat ing more competition and would offer more opportunities to low-income stu dents. “If nothing else, (the gap) speaks for the need of vouchers and more experi mental education.” While researchers and policymakers debated the causes of racial disparity in testing, all agreed on the tragedy of lost opportunity. Slater said, “Unless this trend can be reversed, a whole generation of black youth from inner-city school districts in our largest states will be doomed to the disadvantages incurred by those who do not have a college education.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.

Ray Russell, chairman of the com puter science department at Appalachian State University, has a popular Internet page devoted to Boone’s weather. Russell said the site grossed up to 14,000 hits a week. The National Weather Service page also has links to his site. But Russell’s fame is not limited to the Internet Boone radio station WECR recently discovered the Web page and made him their new morning weather personality. Russell said he gave the weather report on the station bright and early every weekday morning at 7:10 a.m. “Anyone with a good science back ground could do it,” Russell said.

Russell’s weather fascination is not a fleeting habit. He said a Nashville weatherman he idolized as a young boy ignited his interest. He said he educated himself by reading various books on the subject Russell said his interest lay dormant until about five years ago when he real ized how much weather information was available on the Internet. Last Christmas, Russell’s wife, Rhonda, bought him a weather station. Russell said he connected the station to his computer, allowing updates every 90 minutes. The backyard device is usually accu rate, but Russell’s ego takes a hit when his equipment fails him. Cindy Norris, an ASU computer sci ence professor, said Russell’s weather hobby occasionally harmed his pride. “One time he completely miscalcu lated and came in looking sheepish,” she said. “The students love to harass him.” Not only students and colleagues check the site, Russell said, explaining that some students’ parents also logged on. | For Rent | LTS Management We have the Most Properties 967-0776 ClMe to Campusl • 515 Merritt Mill Road June 1 or August 1 2 BR/1 1/2 BA Townhouse - SBBO/month 3 BR/1 1/2 BA Townhouse - $ 1050/month ‘ Townhouse style fust 3 blocks from campus. washer-dngr included, central air andpas beat, free parking. ‘Hewty Remodeled. • Amity Court June 1 or August 1 2 BR/1 BA Duplex - SBBO/month Just behind‘Tfie Warehouse off ’Rosemary Street.

Brad Barrett, junior business major, said he regularly" tracks the weather and even dreainsT * about it. Barrett’s friend Adam Cline:, C senior religious studies major, said his friend was devoted to the weather. “He’s got at least a couple hundred weather Web sites bookmarked in his computer,” said Cline. “He checks them , two to three times a day.” Barrett said he became interested in the weather during Hurricane Charlie when he was 10 years old. When Hurricane Andrew pounded Florida, Barrett said he made his grandmother tape The Weather Channel coverage. Barrett said his passion was based on weather’s unique nature. “It’s changeable, it’s beautiful, it’s pre dicting the unpredictable.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. | For Rent | Travel/Vacations MYRTLE BEACH, SC SPRING BREAK- GRAD WEEK $75 b UP PER PERSON www.retrsatmyrtle beach.com 1-800-645-3618 HP® HOROSCOPES by bnda c. black Todrt Birthday (Taint) Work on a household project pays well this year Rough out your plans in February Find ways to get the money in March.
