KU students help kids make the grade By Donella Hearne Kansan staff writer A program designed to give Lawrence kindergarten through 12th grade students a little extra help is giving KU students a taste of teaching Youth Educational Services, or Y.E.S., matches KU students with Lawrence and Topeka public school students who are academically challenged. Y. E.S. also provides college students with an opportunity to make some extra money while tutoring children who otherwise may not receive the special attention. Donna Ossess, principal at Riverside Elementary School in Lawrence, said the children at her school benefited greatly from the extra help. "I know that the students also enjoy working with the tutors," she said. "They really look forward to when the tutors come." 0spress said students enjoyed work ing one-on-one with tutors who were closer to them in age. The program originated when Associated Students of Kansas petitioned for government funding for a tutoring program. Three Kansas universities now receive Board of Regents grants for the program. Wichita State University and Emporia State University also have successful programs. The service has been provided at KU for six years and receives additional funding through Student Senate. "Last year there were about 75 student tutors," said Melissa Stucky, Wichita senior, who is in charge of Y.E.S. at KU. "Because funding was cut in half for this year, we will only have 50 tutors." Brebek Tso, Lenexa sophomore, was one of last year's tutors and has applied for the job again this year. She said that helping students learn math and algebra was fun and rewarding. "I'd never tutored before." So said. "It was neat to find out that I could teach something to other people. Tso found that the students were grateful for her help. "It was actually fun for them sometimes," she said. Stucky said Y.E.S. was accepting applications from students who were interested in tutoring. Students can apply at the Student Employment Center at the University Placement Center in the Burge Union. Applications will be accepted until Sept. 1. Each school hires tutors individually, so requirements for employment can vary. In order to apply at Y.E.S., students must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 hours and have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better. Osness said her school looks for tutors who are compatible with students. "We're looking for someone with charisma, who enjoys children and has a way with children," she said. $335.00 HP Deskjet 500 Printer 2449Iowa 841-4611 Call for more information.
