The paper says one simple word, "nerd." His classmates laugh at him, ask to borrow his pocket protector, grab him by his collar and ask for the answers to last night's homework. No, it's not a fraternity initiation rite or a student's worst nightmare. It is a planned exercise, used in North Carolina's middle schools and high schools, that might be the answer to solving racial problems and ignorance among N.C. youth. N.C. Students Teach and Reach, known as NC STAR, uses college stu dents to facilitate discussions among middle and high school students about issues such as race relations, citizenship and multiculturalism. The program began in 1 990, marking the 30th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-ins. Founded by the People For the EWLETT PACKARD CALCULATORS All the functions you need plus the quality you deserve.

The question format that you call Triple TrueFalse, which used to appear in all sections of the LSAT, has not appeared on the LSAT since February 1991. But you still prep your students to "crack" this obsolete question format. That's wasted cracking, guys. May we suggest that you briefly disregard your margaritas, and update your LSAT course materials? We know it's work, but somebody's gotta do it. For information on Contemporary LSAT prep, call: 493-5000 KAPLAN The answer to the test question. American Way, a non-profit public in terest group, NC STAR now serves more than 17,000 students in seven counties across the state. Program coordinator, Robert Hawkins, said the purpose of NC STAR was "to create an environment in which students respect each other and pro mote tolerance and respect. It shows them that they can make a difference and is a way that students can get in volved." Volunteers for NC STAR are re cruited from area colleges and are trained in mediation and facilitation skills. They then are assigned to visit various middle schools and high schools. "(The volunteers) are there to act as leaders, not opinion-makers," Hawkins said. "They are there to make sure that everyone gets a chance to speak and thinks through what they are saying. They also get the students to think about how they feel and why. "We use college students to serve as role models, someone who is close to the students' age."

Premiering Tuesday, the N.C. Theatre's production of this Tony Award-winning Best Musical runs through Sunday at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.

The volunteers involved with NC STAR agree that it is extremely worth while. Mary Maynard, a senior educa tion major, said: "It's been really great to get involved. There are common threads among all the kids whether they're from North Raleigh or Durham. "The week after the Rodney King verdict, we sat down to talk to the kids about it. It was really refreshing to see them see that all races were being hurt by (the verdict). They looked at it as more than a racial issue. They looked at the legal system and could relate what was happening in Los Angeles to their own situations." Senior Carta Bost agreed. "NC STAR is very rewarding. I probably learned more from the kids than they learned from me. I see it as an opportunity to talk to students in an informal setting on a one-to-one basis and see what they are all about."
