Upward Bound is a more intensive program that is limited to 70 students per year. The programs act as a counselor to high school students, especially low-income, first generation would-be college students. They basically expand on the job of high school counselors who may not be able to give students all the help they need when deciding to go to college. "It would really be a big loss," said Nadine Daw, a second year student atACC who went through the Talent Search program out of Hillman High School. "They really proved to be an asset when I was trying to decide where to go. They recommended ACC, and it was the best decision for me." Upward Bound was established in 1964 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's war on poverty. Talent Search was added a year later, and four more programs have been created over the years . Upward Bound Math-Science was created in 1990 to deal with the decline in math and science programs. Both Newton and Upward Bound coordinator Joe Klemens believe that their programs do more than the No Child Left Behind program does. Under President Bush's program, according to Newton, kids are learning enough to take a test. Through Upward Bound and Talent Search, kids are getting more real-life exposure, letting kids make a concrete decision when they head to college. "We try to make everything they learn apply to lif~," Newton explained. "We ask them 'why is a college education important?' We offer that kind of ptogram. We want to know what they want to go into, so they don't lose that time ( college time). Kids that don't decide usually dropout." If ;he cut goes happe .,, ·;i; would affect the 2006-07 school year. Both programs have grants written to cover through next year. Newton and Klemens urge students who know what Talent Search and Upward Bound can do for prospective students to write letters to congress stating they wish to see Talent Search and Upward Bound continue. President Bush is supposed to make the announcement in a February 12 speech.

Facets may resume publication in the future Denise Hill and Laurie Wade meet with Dr. Joynton after receiving the "Lumberjack Award" in March 2004 for their work on Facets (photo courtesy ACC). Continued from page 1 But they were promptly denied in a letter from Dr. Joynton a month later. A meeting was set up between Dr. Joynton, Hill, and Wade before the fall semester began. Hill and Wade argued that the college was in violation of their contract in refusing to pay the $1560 stipend listed under "Positions developed by the college." "The college developed Facets," Denise Hill explained. "They wanted it." Dr. Joynton did eventually agree to pay the stipend for a literary advisor, but not for an art advisor. Faced with the choice of either splitting the money or having only one advisor working on Facets, they decided not to continue the publication. "Ultitnately, we turned it down," Hill said. "We spent 138 hours each over the course of a year on Facets,"Hillexplained. "How do I balance this between my students and my classes? You do want compensation at a certain point." There have been numerous requests for Facets to return, but at the time there are no plans to resurrect it. Neither Hill nor Wade have been approached to head up Facets for next year. "I made some effort without much success in finding alternate people, other people to take tlie project over," Dr. Joynton said. "I would be very interested in speaking with any employee who would be interested in taking it on next year. To me it's a good thing, and I was sorry that we had to skip a year." Facets was designed as a journal for the arts, exclusively for ACC students to showcase themselves and their abilities to the community. Facets is widely recognized outside of the community, and has received the first place with special merit award from the American Scholastic Press Association, the gold medal from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the central division most improved magazine award from the Community College Humanities Association Literary Magazine Comoetition.
