Auditors with the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general's office say some preschool children may also be spending their days with child-care workers who have criminal backgrounds. The findings were based on inspections of 149 licensed day care, foster care and Head Start programs in Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, South Carolina, Delaware and Virginia. Com bined, those child-care providers were serving more than 6,600 children. The auditors also looked at 106 Native American Head Start programs in Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Ore gon and Washington. The purpose of the reviews, which continue in Missouri, is to determine whether child-care providers that receive federal money comply with federal, state and local health and safety stan dards, and to assess state over sight of day-care facilities. An official of the inspector general's office says the agency is not ready to draw any conclu sions about the quality of child care nationwide, but Sen. Christopher J. Dodd sees a prob lem. "The pattern of health and safety violations across states is disturbing," says Dodd, D-Conn. and the chairman of a Senate subcommittee on children and families. "Pinched budgets have forced many states to cut back on staff for monitoring programs." Color photographs in the au ditors' December 1993 report on child care in South Carolina doc ument the problem: money bags and a money box stored in a freezer with food; a dirty kitchen floor with dead cockroaches; an uncovered trash can with putrid materials in a kitchen; cans and garbage strewn across a play ground; no toilet paper in a bath room; toxic chemicals and clean ing supplies, hammer and nails within reach of children. Although the federal govern ment subsidizes day care for low-income families, it relies on the states to ensure that local centers meet health and safety standards. Many states, however, are having trouble protecting chil dren from unsafe and unsanitary conditions, according to a 1992 General Accounting Office study that blamed budget cutbacks for reductions in oversight. There are also no national standards for day-care centers, and, according to Wyden, only 19 states require criminal back ground checks of day-care providers. Professor Continued from Page 1 as well as undergraduates. Although he will not be teaching this semes ter, Moore will be developing some new cours es in building design for the center. He said he would like to bring in real-life de sign problems as opposed to using textbook problems and would like to see students taking tours of buildings that are under construction on campus. Moore said he sees his new job as a challenge because he will be interacting with students. "Being involved with the students is what's important," Moore said. He also wants to stay at A&M until he de cides to retire. "The things I would like to do will take longer than two semesters to complete," he said. Moore may begin teaching classes as early as this fall. Sirls ages 8-16, located in the heart of the Ouachita Lake and Mountain Region in Arkansas, is now accepting applications for summer staff positions. For More Info: Camp Ozark • HC 64 Box 190 • Mt.
