Tutoring makes difference to chiJdren
■ JUDICIAL REPORT

While some college students are
working with quantum physics,
others are working with illiteracy.
Sone are trying to understand the
philosophy of life while others are
explaining basic math.
To the volunteers of Athens Tu
torial Program these differences in
education are painfully obvious.
While managing their own studies,
they also help elementary school
children improve their educational
chances.
Jane Morris, a senior journalism
major, is one of 350 volunteers who
donate a few hours a week each
quarter at one of four centers
around Athens to help children
with basic learning skills.
Morris said she helps children
because they deserve some of the
advantages that helped her go to
college. She said she worries about
what will happen to the children if
they don’t get help now.
‘The children are underprivi
leged in the sense that if they
didn’t get help they would likely
‘If they didn’t get help
they would likely drop
out of school.’
—Jane Morris

drop out of school. The program is
a chance to make a difference,” she
said.
The Athens Tutorial Program is
a volunteer organization supported
by donations and community de
velopment funds. The volunteers
help children in grades three
through nine with homework,
reading comprehension, study
skills and cultural enrichment.
Program administrator Thur
mond Archibald said the program
is helping about 300 children at
any given time and that about 100
children on a waiting list.
Since the program was founded
in 1981, it has relied heavily on
University students and faculty to
work as tutors. The tutors don’t
have to be education majors or
have any previous tutoring experi
ence. Besides helping academi
cally, tutors provide a positive role
model to many of the children, Ar
chibald said.
Morris said, “We see students
who were making F’s one quarter
go to A’s and B’s the next. The pro
gram also provides discipline.
There is improvement attitudi-
nally ns well ns academically.”
Morris said one of her favorite
experiences with a student in
volved a girl who came to the pro
gram for help with a school paper
and got so involved she wan tea to
get every available book on the
subject.
At the end of the day she left for
home dragging a box of books
across the grass because they were
to heavy for her to carry, Morris
said.
Sometimes, however, t takes
some homework by the tutors into
the student’s interests to find a
way to reach them and get them in
volved in learning.
Lorilee Compton, a senior educa
tion major, said she uses profes
sional athletes like Michael Jordan
as examples to help her students
understand the importance of
learning. Jordan does public
service messages promoting educa
tion.
Judicial Programs handed down its first spring quarter rulings last
week. Altogether, 11 students have been sentenced os follows:
• Four htudents were found guiltv by the Main Court of shared re
sponsibility for drug possession — a housing violation — and were sen
tenced to probated suspension through spring quarter 1991. Separate
drug charges were dropped because the students were improperly noti
fied of the complaint filed against them.
• Two students were found guilty by the Main Court of drug posses
sion. Both are to receive drug counseling, to be terminated at the discre
tion of the counselor. They were given permanent probated suspension
• One student was found guilty of alcohol-related misconduct and
s pended indefinitely from University housing. The student must in
dergo one year of alcohol counseling.
• One student was found guilty of disorderly conduct for harms-
sment and is to receive psychological counseling, to be terminated at the
counselor’s discretion. The student also received probated expulsion.
• Two students were found guilty of contempt. One was suspended
from the University for fall quarter 1990 The other was suspended for
summer quarter 1990, sentenced to 25 hours of community service and
a permanent probated suspension to be activated by any violation of
University conduct regulations.
• One student was found guilty by the Main Court of academic dis
honesty and suspended for summer quarter 1990.

ACCESS
From page 1
Disabled students also have
had difficulties with the limited
University housing facilities.
‘The main reason I came here
was because I found out it was
handicapped-accessible,” said
Glynn Woolfolk, a vocational edu
cation major and Morris Hall res
ident.
However, Woolfolk said he
could barely maneuver his wheel
chair around his room or the
bathrooms.
“Handicapped Services and
Housing realized it wasn’t acces-
ible and they worked with me,”
Woolfolk said.
The clinic tests all
applicants whether or
not they have been
diagnosed
Outside the residence hall, an
entrance ramp was built and
Woolfolk received a handicapped
parking space. Woolfolk cannot
gain access to the ramp, however,
because there are no curb cuts
and his parking assignment is lo
cated on a steep hill.
“I’m working on maintaining a
positive attitude and asking for
things that I need without feeling
guilty or like I’m asking for a
handout. It’s my right, he said.”

Thirty members of Chi Psi fra
ternity had two weeks, including
spring break, to find a place to live
after the fraternity’s suspension
appeal was turned down by the
Student Judiciary.
“We only had about four or five
weeks to move everyone out of the
house from the time we received
the original decision. We were
really counting on the appeal,” Chi
Psi president Leon Farmer, a se
nior political science major, said.
The decision to suspend Chi Psi
for two quarters for disorderly con
duct and breaking fire safety regu
lations was upheld by the Judicial
Council last quarter. Chi Psi chose
not to appeal the the council’s deci
sion.
Dale Lineberry, a junior speech
communications major and Chi Psi
member, said the Chi Psi house at
320 S. Lumpkin St. could be re
claimed the day after summer
‘The crisis brought out
the best in the
brothers.’

quarter classes end. Until that
time all 30 Chi Psi members who
lived in house had to move else
where.
Farmer said although it was dif
ficult to find everyone a place to
live for three months, the frater
nity’s strong sense of brotherhood
helped them in their time of need.
“Brothers who already lived out
of the house took in extra room
mates or tried to get information
on available living spaces for
others. Communication really
helped,” he said.
Chi Psi member Doug Smith, a
sophomore risk management and
insurance major, said although the
fraternity was “kind of shocked”
that the appeal was turned down,
it “will abide by the University’s
decision.”
He said that under the circum
stances, everyone handled the situ
ation well. “The crisis brought out
the best in the brothers," he said

For the time being, Smith said
the members are “just concerned
about the house because no one is
there to watch it " He said the
house was in a state of “belter
skelter” when they left and he
hoped they could clean it up before
the Chi Psi National Convention,
which will be held in the house the
day after they move back in.
