Wakefield said the Greenwood, program is one of five in the state. Wakefield said he was hoping this would be a pilot year for the program, but the grant money runs out soon and he's hoping to find other sources of revenue. "We are trying to see if the state can initiate this thing as an ongoing project," Wakefield said.

"We have some tenth graders, eleventh graders and a couple of twelfh graders," said W.T. Holmes, the course's lead teacher. He said the students come from "low socioeconomic backgrounds" but display leadership qualities. Holmes said counselors at the schools refer the students to the program. Mamie B.

Jones, an intervention specialist at Greenwood High, said she looks at a lot of factors. when choosing students for the program. Besides socioeconomics, Jones said she reviews students' records for qualities of leadership, attitude, behavior and grades.

7TH THRU 9TH 7:00 PM FAITH OF CHRIST CHURCH Wingert Rd. Greenwood 26047 ELECTION: Rulings Continued from page IA The judge refused to sweep aside Bush's 537-vote certified victory and begin courthouse counts of what Gore said were missed votes that had been rejected by machines in heavily Democratic counties. Sauls' ruling was one of numerous legal developments during the day in an election that has spawned more than 40 lawsuits, including two that were being argued Tuesday in Atlanta federal court. The suits by Bush supporters ask that any' Florida presidential election results using hand recounts be thrown out. Before Sauls' ruling Monday, the U.S.

Supreme Court vacated a Nov. 21 Florida Supreme Court ruling that had extended the deadline for ballot recounting, to Gore's benefit. The justices sent the case back "for further proceedings." Within a few hours, the state court called for written arguments from the two sides on the legal issues involved to be filed by 3 p.m. EST Tuesday. The high court's opinion was something of a setback for Gore, although his attorneys said it merely stopped the case in its tracks, and held out the promise of a later favorable ruling.

Not so the judgment issued by Sauls a few hours later. That was a major blow to the Gore campaign, and his lawyers did little to hide it. Speaking from the bench, Sauls said county canvassing boards in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Nassau counties all had acted within their discretion in tabulating votes. He. said there was "no authority under Florida law" for certifying an incomplete manual recount or for submitting returns after a deadline fixed by the state Supreme Court.

"I think whoever wins at the Florida Supreme Court, we'll accept that," Boies said, outlining for the first time an end game to the long-count election. haven't had some discipline or academic problems, she said. But that doesn't mean the students can't benefit from character education. "Sometimes you've go to be able to fit the right student into the right puzzle," Jones said. Wakefield said the program was originally designed for one school.

"Greenwood High School was targeted by the Department of Education as a school that would benefit from character education because of their dropout rate," Wakefield said. He said counselors at Ninety Six High wanted their students to be involved also. Jones said the students benefit from the program being outside the school setting and away from the daily pressures and expectations of school. "That setting is always significant," she said. Jones said the program is definitely helping those students who have something special.

"These students, as far as we can see, have that inner thing they need," Jones said. "They just need something extra. This is one of those extras." she plans to file a wrongful death claim with the city for Lee's family. LAPD spokesman Lt.
