Outreach to Inmates is a program providing college level courses to prison NC to by Stella Shelton Staff Writer Students are now able to appeal their residency status according to a new set of guidelines adopted by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors Friday. If the appeal is granted and the student receives in-state status, the lower tuition rate will be enforced beginning the semester after the appeal is made. The guidelines were drawn up to aid in implementing a new law passed by the Without money for maintenance some programs may have to be curtailed if no additional funds are received, according to Ken Moore, superintendent of the garden. The garden staff will do everything possible within their financial means to continue public programs, Moore said. Educational programs for school children, initiated this past year, can be continued only if the garden receives some support , from the local school systems. "' - Originally the garden had requested $6,000 each from the Chapel Hill and Hillsborough school systems. School Superintendent for the Chapel Hill Schools, Robert C. Hanes, has told Benson that $2,500 is the maximum the garden can expect from the Chapel Hill schools. That amount has been included in the budget which is under consideration by the Orange County Board of Commissioners this week. The garden also petitioned for $10,000 from the state through the Environmental Education Bill. Decisions on which requests will be funded by the $95,OOC appropriated by that bill will be made this week after the Fiscal Review Board is appointed, Benson said.

Department of Correction. Outreach was designed, according to a program letter, "to be a practical demonstration that inmates want and can profit from higher education, but may be prohibited from doing so because of confinement restrictions, ineligibility for study-release or lack of funds." Begun in March 1972, the pilot program was originally financed with Title I funds and University monies. The cost of materials and instruction is borne by the program. allow aroroeal General Assembly last May. The law says that if a student claims in-state residency and has parents residing in North Carolina, then he is presumed to be an in-state resident. Students whose parents are not North Carolina residents are presumed to be out-of-state students and ineligible for in-state tuition until they prove otherwise. Both the old and the new law require a residency of 12 months for a student to be considered an in-state resident. The old law, however, said that the time a student spent in a North Carolina college request coordinator or for a part-time coordinator, if no additional funds are j. received, according to Benson. The board was sharply divided over the question of supporting the garden. Aldermen Nassif, Welsh and Smith felt that as a state project, the garden should be funded by the state. They felt the town had an obligation to support its own programs first. They asked that the town deny the total request by the garden. Aldermen Marshall and Scroggs requested full appropriation. They expressed concern that no other open space was being developed currently for public use and said that the garden alone filled this need at the moment. Alderman Gardner concurred with the town manager's recommendation that the garden be given $4,000. Mayor Lee established the compromise figure of $6,000. "It's time for Chapel Hill to lead North Carolina and assume responsibility for a leadership role," Lee said. Chapel Hill has made a commitment to the development of open space which should apply to this decision, Lee said. The board agreed to write letters of support for the garden to help the staff gain state and federal funding for the coming year. The expression of local support will make federal funding a better possibility, according to Benson. publication, helped edit the "Carolina Handbook," helped coordinate living-learning programs and drug information seminars on campus.

Ward has worked as residence director of Hinton James dorm for two years and was residence director in Mclver dorm for one year. According to the Office of Residence Life, "Ms. Ward has been outstanding in working with University students and the problems associated with a major university's residence hall program." Stohler received a B.A. degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Term. He served as a campus chaplain at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Stohler originally came to Chapel Hill in 1970 as assistant director of the campus ministry. Last year, he was acting director of the YMCA. In its first year the program filled all of the original 130 course enrollments provided for under the original grant The program proved to be popular and a rearrangement of grant items allowed 70 additional enrollments to be made. Since December of 1972, Educational Consultant John Latschaw and Fendt have been requesting additional funds from North Carolina foundations to allow the program to continue and expand in the coming year. This summer they announced that the program has received three grants: $10,000 grant from the Hillsdale could not be counted toward the 12 months residency requirement. The guidelines adopted by the Board of Governors provide that a student may appeal his residency classification by submitting an appeal form. These forms may be obtained by undergraduates at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Professional students and graduates can get a form from their dean's office.

Smith Reynolds Foundation of Winston-Salem for one year. $6,000 grant from the Mary Reynolds Bibcock Foundation of Winston-Salem for one year. The new Title I funds win finance the development of a model for inmate continuing education for the state. In addition, funds would be available for an experimental program to train dental assistants and dental laboratory technicians. The grant proposal include a general college level correspondence course with special counseling and tutoring services that would be open to 10 inmates and an extension certification program. A final provision contains plant for a correspondence course to be developed based on inmate interests and environment. "With the funds that we now have we can meet the demand for college level courses," Latschaw said. "No one should be excluded who is eligible." According to a N.C. Department of Correction study of 7,101 inmates approximately 10 percent of the inmates could be involved in college level courses. State funds, according to Latschaw, are used for adult basic education and for GED certification (high school diploma equivalency). The Outreach program alone provides an opportunity for inmates to take college level courses. In the past year Outreach served 107 inmates out of a population of 10,000 prison inmates in North Carolina. Ten women were enrolled. Twenty-seven out of North Carolina's 79 institutions were involved. Through the original Outreach program inmates can choose from 100 - college level courses to be taken for credit or non-credit. Credit courses can be applied toward a degree at the University. However, inmates need not be accepted at the University to participate. To be eligible inmates must be a high school graduate or hold a GED certificate. Inmates are expected to pay what they can toward the cost of their courses.
