CLARK United Press International RFD, MANHATTAN The U.S. Postal Service takes its lumps about once a month for such minor foibles as delivering letters 25 years late -or 'Fragile" packages that appear first to have been run over by the truck. But once in a while the couriers of rain, sleet, snow and darkest night redeem themselves. Barry Manilow has just received a letter from a fan in Scotland who wanted to know if his May 23 ABC-TV special will be seen there.

It was addressed to: Barry KCCAO Deputy Director Nancy Downing said the center may be operational by the According to the application, there has been growing restlessness among Corcoran youth which has developed into increasing gang activity. During the first semester of 1979, Corcoran High School had 1,921 incidences of discipline referrals to the principals office. There were 551 students who served detention and 49 who were suspended.

Under the current system, when a student is suspended, he may not return to campus from one to five days.

Detention is served during a 45 minute period after school, during which students do their regular classwork. There has been an average of 25 students a day in detention. and vice principal Jim Albert.

The growth center would offer a two stage rehabilitation program. For serious discipline problems, the center would provide an on -campus, supervised program for six hours (the entire school day). Less serious problem students would receive supervised study for 45 minutes each day. Several classrooms on campus are available for the program, with about 12 students anticipated to participate. The proposal says that rather than be suspended off campus and lose valuable learning time, students would use their supervised suspension time to complete their regular assignments.

Time would also be allotted for group interaction, to stimulate social growth. The center would be run by a director who would coordinate class assignments with students regular teachers, and provide supervision necessary for student involvement in special projects. These special projects would include maintaining the nature pond section of the campus, repainting sections of the school, and helping to upgrade the library. If the proposed program is funded.

Also included in the project is a work experience program which would combine salaries and academic credit for 10 students to act as peer counselors and tutors in the growth center. The KCCAO board of directors had tentatively approved the proposal last month, but awaited approval by the Board of Supervisors and the Corcoran Unified High School Board of Trustees before sending the application.

"Nomatter how good you are, there are some who won't change their minds. When they are turned off to school, they are turned off, and they need something, the Lemoore teacher remarked.

The sending of an application for a cinema project designed to help low income and minority teenagers develop positive goals was approved by the Kings County Community Action Organization (KCCAO) board of directors Wednesday night. The proposal would take 11 in-school problem students, between the ages of 16 and 19, and train them in production of sound movies.

The project would cost about $60,404, with the funding request being sent to the state Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA), governors discretionary funds.

Taking these people out of school to learn to run a motion picture camera doesnt make sense, Ulrich said. They are in school now, let them stay in school. He added that students should be taught something they can use.
