HOOSIERS CAN HELP HURRICANE VICTIMS

Staff Report

As the Gulf Coast of the United States continues the massive cleanup from the devastating effects of hurricane Katrina, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is urging citizens interested in aiding victims to offer monetary donations only. “There is no doubt that when disasters occur, donated goods and volunteers are needed,” said J. Eric Dietz, executive director of IDHS. “However, providing a monetary contribution to a volunteer agency directly involved in disaster relief is the most effective and efficient way to aid victims. These groups know best what needs an affected community has.” A monetary contribution to a disaster relief organization is the most effective way to aid a disaster stricken area in several ways. It empowers locals to determine their needs and make the necessary purchases. The local economy of stricken area then stands ready to benefit since purchases are local. A monetary contribution is also more efficient since it can cut down on additional costs, such as the cost of transporting goods from another state. IDHS asks individuals interested in aid-

ing victims to contact the Indiana Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (INVOAD) at www.invoad.org or Indiana 2-1-1 at www. in211.org. The INVOAD Web site is a source of contact information for disaster relief organizations people can contact to offer a financial donation. Indiana 2-1-1 provides information on how people can best aid disaster victims. Following are some charitable groups that are offering help to the victims of the deadly storm. Those wishing to donate can call the charities or visit their Web sites for more information. • American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, 1-800-HEFPNOW or visit www.redcross. org. • Salvation Army, 1-800-SAL-ARMY or www.salvationarmyusa.org • Catholic Charities USA, 1-800-919-9338 or www.catholiccharitiesusa.org • Episcopal Relief and Development, 1-800-334-7626 or www.er-d.org • United Methodist Committee on Relief, 1-800-554-8583 or gbgm-umc.org/umcor/ emergency/hurricanes/2005

STATE'S SAT SCORES SHOW IMPROVEMENT SAT scores for Indiana’s high school class of2005 improved by five points over last year, but still lag behind the national average, according to figures released this week and reported by the Associated Press. Indiana students improved by three points to 504 on the verbal section of the test and by two points to 508 in math. The state’s average cumulative score was 1,012, according to the College Board, the New York-based nonprofit that runs the SAT. Nationwide, students averaged a cumulative score of 1,028, an increase of two points over last year. The national average remained at 508 in verbal and increased two points in math to 520. The math and verbal sections of the SAT are each graded on an 800-point scale, with a perfect cumulative score of 1,600. Officials have said that because a high percentage of students in Indiana take the SAT - two-thirds of graduating seniors - even small changes are statistically significant. Nationwide, 49 percent of high school graduates took the SAT this year. According to the figures, 66 percent of Indiana high school graduates took the SAT this year, while some 13,200 students, or about 21 percent of the graduating seniors, took the ACT. The average score for Indiana students in 2005 on the 36-point ACT scale was 21.7, compared to 21.6 last year. Indiana’s average score on the ACT has exceeded the national score - 20.9 this year - for more than a decade.
