Forged by a group of black elementary school teachers, the new alliance brings together parents, teachers and church groups to help students learn skills needed to pass basic competency tests. Called Project HELP Home Extension Learning Program it offers free tutoring to elementary school students in need of extra assistance, particularly the one-on-one help they can't often get in a regular school day.

There are 130 pupils in Project Help who are getting assistance twice a week from 16 teachers, who are paid $10 per hour. Sponsored by the Tuscaloosa Ministerial Association and the Baptist Ministers Alliance, Project HELP is the brainchild of Fannye Gray, a first-grade teacher at Northington Elementary School. "I thought up the proposal, wro to it up and presented it to the board'" she said. Mrs. Gray's plan called for teachers to offer tutorial, assistance to students two or three days a week after school.

Local churches supply the space for the sessions and the transportation for students. The school board, which endorsed the plan, supplies textbooks and other materials. "We wanted to bridge the gap between TUSCALOOSA (AP) Angry blacks no longer stage round-the-clock sit-ins to protest scbool promotion policies, but in the wake of their demonstrations, teachers have started a tutorial program to help students pass. Members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference staged an 18-day sit-in at the school board offices last fall. They protested a new promotion-retention policy that they said was racially biased and unfair to black children.

The previous spring, more than 1,000 elementary school pupils failed promotion tests. Of those 1,000, more than 75 percent were black.

Soon after its inauguration In January, Project HELP caught the attention of Victor Poole, a stats Board of Education member from nearby Moundville.

Poole asked Gov. George Wallace for financial support to keep the program going, and last week one of Wallace's aides gave Mrs. Gray a $2,000 state check. "What struck me is that the seed money for this program came from churches and private individuals," Poole said.

University trustees approve campus projects TUSCALOOSA (AP) Trustees of the University of Alabama System have given their blessing to $30.1 million worth of projects for the Tuscaloosa campus.

The projects include a $4.6 million two-story football center, with the money to come from athletic department revenues.

Bryant Alumni-Continuing Education Center, a new telephone system and new funding for the Student Recreation Center, which is already built. All the projects had been announced earlier. The school president, Joab Thomas, said about $14.4 million will be raised through school bond proceeds, with the rest coming from a state bond issue, interest earnings and a capital campaign drive.

The athletic center will house football-related offices and will be northwest of Memorial Coliseum, The energy and mineral sciences facility, costing about $10 million, will house the School of Mines and Energy Development.

Fairoaks Square, a two-acre area in the heart of Selma's Old Town district, was one of 18 recipients of the Preservation Honor Awards given by the National Trust for Historic Preservation Friday in Washington D.C. The Circle project began with renovation of the main house into a center for the company to entertain guests and visiting dignitaries. The cottages, also historically preserved, are now being sold to private citizens.

The $2 million project was completed in April 1982. The award was accpeted by Larry Striplin, chairman of the board of Circle an international firm that among other things, produces an aluminum product used to make windows. "We're thrilled to get this award. It gives even more credibility to what we've created in Fairoaks Square," Striplin said in an interview Saturday with The Selma-Times Journal. "When we started this project we didn't realize it would turn out like this, but we are delighted that it did," said Striplin.

The Fairoaks project was nominated by Clem Labine, publisher of the Old House Journal, a well-known restoration magazine. The national trust, a non-profit organization chartered by Cpngress in 1949, encourages people to take part in the preservation of districts, buildings and objects significant in American history and culture. Striplin said the main house will now be open to the public at 10 a.m. on Wednesday mornings for one hour.
