By DARRELL CLE.“
Staff Writer

Gov. Martha Layne Collins has ap—
pointed a University instructor to a
special councu which will examine
the state's role in teaching gifted
and talented students

Steve DeMers. an associate pro-
fessor in the L'niverstty's depart
ment of educational and counseling
psychology. Will serve on the Advl'
sory Council for Gifted and Talented
Education — to be comprised of tea»
chers. parents. state government
representatives. and offiCials from
the state's school districts. The
council will make recommendations
to the state legislature at its next
meeting.

DeMers. who has expertise in test
ing and measurement techniques for
detecting gifted students. said
“there are still a lot of stereotypes
out there about what it means to be
gifted " Many people consider a tal-
ented student to be a "frail persoti
with glasses." he said

This is the third year that the pro

"We were a year late iti starting. as
a matter of fact." said Taylor. the
director of the learning skills pro
gram at t‘ntversity counseling cen
ter

The program has a two-pronged
approach. The first is to tnodtfy be;
havior. manage time. work on goals
and implied tasks. and to look at the
differences between what people
want to do and what they should do
The second approach looks at the
psychological aspects

Many factors can contribute to
procrastination. including a fear of
failure. a desire to be liked or a
need to rebel. "All procrastinators
have a good sense of humor and are
real charmers. either becaUse they
can't say no or they have to charm
their way out of a tight spot." Tay
for said

The procrastinator may also have
a peculiar set of values. she said

Some students skip all type of
school activities. from classes to as-
signments. because it's not iii their
value system. while it may be iii
their parents'. Taylor said.

Taylor said that at the group‘s
first meeting a few years ago. fifty
people showed up ”After that expe—
rience we‘ve had to limit the enroll-
ment to it) to 15 people.

"We have a nice group. btit we do

Part time

Students gain experience, money through University ’5 work study program

By l).»\RRl-Zl.l.l‘l.l-Z.\l
Staff Writer

Kalee Gresham looked up from
behind the finanCtal aid desk on the
fifth floor of Patterson Tower and
smiled "l'm going to own a radio
station when I grow up." she said.

Gresham. a communications
freshman, works about 20 hours a
week at the finanCial aid office
through a work study program
which she began this semester. She
answers the phone and assists peo
ple who need information about fi-
nancial aid. She‘s paid minimum
wage -—- as all are work study stu-
dents.

Gresham is one of about 1.900 Uni-
versity students who annually par-
ticipate in work studies, which are
part of the overall financial aid pro-
gram featunng national and state
direct student loans. supplemental
education opportunity grants. and
other forms of aid.

She said the work complements
her studies in communications. “It's
basically about communicating."
she said. “Sometimes people get
very angry when it coma to money.
and you‘ve got to try and be calm
and communicate rules to them. "

The US. Department of Education
determines the amount of financial
aid money allocated to the L'niverSt-
ty based on students‘ inability to pay
educational costs. Applications are
processed through the College Schol-
arship Service. and students may
apply for all types of finanCtal assis-
tance by filling out one form,

The financial aid office puts to-
gether a “college-related package."
and contacts students around June
1. said Bob Halsey. associate direc—
tor for the office of financial aid and
coordinator of the work study pro-
gram. “if they choose work study.
then they mark that ton the formi
and send it back to us. “

The amount of money awarded for
work studies is decided after nation-
al and state grant funds are de-
ducted from the overall budget. he
said.

Students may specify an area of
work. became “the philosophy of
the work study is that it should be
more than a job." Halsey said. “It
should relate to the student's major
orinterests.“

Student attainments are based on
departmental requests — a form is
completed during the summer and
mailed to the financial aid office.

Arrangements are made for the de»
partmental supervisor faculty
member making the requestl to in-
terview the student employee

Eighty percent of the student‘s
salary is paid by the federal govern-
ment The financial aid office covers
the remaining 20 percent through
the University and through about 30
off-camptm contracts with non-profit
organizations.

“Money is paid directly to the stu-
dent. and it is that student's respon-
sibility to take care of University ex-
penses" Halsey said “They get
paid every two weeks if it's like a
normal job. “

The amount of money students
can earn during each semester is
based on financial need This. in
turn. determines how many hours
the student can work each week.

Loretta De'l‘oma, assistant to the
associate director of financial aid.
said a student awarded about 8500
would work about 5 hours a week
during the semester. The idea is to
work around the student‘s schedule.
“Some of the students‘ schedules
are so tight that they are only able
to work for one hour a day." she
said. That is no problem “as long as

The equme industry is involved in

Since then. the horse industry has

Jones said

He attributed rising thoroughbred

Arabs have with the horses

Many wealthy Arabs have bought

to this The advantage is that they

The disadvantage. however is that

Lynskey said it was a great morn- 1
ing because there was no Wlnd (It is ’
inadvisable to fly in Winds over 15

from trees telephone wires and low

The ParaPlane parachute is a reg-
ular stunt chute with cells that in-
flate and create :1 pockets of air
According to Lynskey. a ParaPlane
18 one of the safest types of recre-
ational vehicles because of the
chute. If the engines die during
flight. the craft floats down to the
ground like a normal parachute

Rules require the instructor to go
up first and demonstrate the pattern
that is supposed to be flovm. a figure
eight With a 360 degree turn to dem
onstrate mobility and make sure the
chute is operatixe

I watched as Lynskey cranked up
both engines and bounded off down
the hill. About 10 seconds later. after
reaching a constant ground speed of

26 mph the ParaPlane's maxi-
mum speed l.ynskey was flying
over head,

Only one person can fly the Par-
aPlane at a time.

Taking off looked easy enough and
I started to feel a little more com-

‘SOphomoric’ columnist fearful of ‘Reds under every bed’

To Michael Wilhite
his column of Sept 20»

Pardon me for saying so. but your
comments are. well —~ sophomoric.

Don‘t get me wrong I like the
space program NASA gets a decent
bang out of our bucks It's just that
when people like you start seeing
Reds under every bed. I get the feel-
ing that your space station would
really be a blast for somebody. if
you take my meamng Nothing eas
ier for your buddies at General Dy-
namics. a company that does 98 per
cent of its business with the
Pentagon

of course. you were probably Just
kidding iRepublicans are like that. i
Whatever "spinoffs" come from
space research. Jobs certainly won‘t
be one of them Not even NASA has
the gall to claim that. A few hun-
dred techniCians and scientists. no
more , unless you're thinking of
"techmmans" with military rank

But. 0K, sure "high tech. not
high taxes “ Right on We might as
well get the high tech. we‘ve already
got high taxes

Oh. you say Reagan cut taxes“.

Recent Congressional Budget Office
statistics show the tax cut affected
mainly persons with an income of
over $50000 a year

You say Reagan cut inflation" Not
at Save Mart. he didn‘t Sure. all
those super-corporations you listed
and many more got to lay off work
ers. freeze the wages paid to other
workers. and freeze the prices they
paid for their raw materials. spare
parts and such. But we common
shoppers know that the price of ey
erything in stores and restaurants is
still going up about 10 percent a
year except for gasoline ~ and
when that goes up. it‘ll hit $1.30

You see. Mike. there are taxes
and there are taxes Some are hard
to see. To me. when you have to pay
more. it‘s a tax. Now. interest rates
are 12-15 percent on anything I could

money to a man with a good reputa-

He borrows so much money that
there's not really enough left for
guys like US. tor bankers. who sell
money. it is. as they say. a seller's
market They charge whatever the
traffic will hear

Reagan borrows so much because
he spends so much Reagan has

bought us almost 700 billion dollars
worth of red ink — the amount he's
added to the Federal deficit. He‘s
overspent three thimes worse than
(‘arter did.

From now on. the first 15 cents out
of every tax dollar will have to be
spent just to pay the interest on this
debt. which has never been reduced.
So much for our “future needs.“ I
like to call this deficit a “lifetime“
tax because that‘s how long we‘ll be
paying on it.

Balanced budget? The Democrats‘

Home within 48 hours of Reagan‘s
request —- and the President has
never taken him up on it.

The sad thing. Mike. to old Trek-
kies like us. is that Reagan spent the
space program money. too. he spent
it on defense. on bombers that
crash. missiles that miss, and W
screwdrivers. Most of the money got
spent in California — even during
the present Pentagon Buy—a-thon.
Reagan managed to cut a billion dol-
lars out of Kentucky‘s defense con-
tracts (since I can‘t read PRAVDA.
I got this from US. News and World
Report).

corporations face their social re-
sponsibilities and pay their fair
share. Because he believes that the
American people are smart enough
to know the difference between hard
facts and slick television snake oil.
he's talking about our future needs
— for better schools. better housing.
better health care and better nutri-
tion for children.

I wonder who‘s the biggest suck-
er: him for believing in us, or you
for believing in Reagan? Or is it me
for hoping you‘ll change your mind?

You might still be kidding arou
