HEP program helps young migrants
Continued from Page 1
This is being done by encouraging
the students to participate in as many
social and academic functions as
possible.
At the University, the program is
headed by Muller, four teachers, two
administrators, one counsellor, and a
number of university students, who
also act as counselors.
These university students are
selected by the staff of HEP, Muller
said, and the most important quality
they looked for in the applicants is,
"someone who can be a positive
model and be able to relate to others."
Potential students for the program
are recruited through migrant agenc
ies funded by the Office of Economic
Opportunity. Examples of such agen
cies include the Illinois Migrant
Council and a project in Phoenix call
ed SUNSER.
These agencies refer students to
respective colleges, and the college
program officials make the final
selections. In addition each nrnornm
center sends out its own recruiting
parties.
Once the students are accepted they
begin classes which help them to pass
the General Educational Development
Test (GEDT), after which they are
awarded their high school diplomas.
On passing the test they can either
continue their studies or get jobs. The
choice lies with each student.
According to Muller,' each student
has his unique problems and poten
tialities. To provide the best possible
program, an effort is made to work
with each student individually.
After the first few weeks, each stu
dent helps In designing his own future
program and sets certain goals for
himself. The staff then tries to provide
the training and encouragement
necessary to help each attain hia
goal.
According to Muller the maximum
Intake at a time is 150. The length
of training depends on the individual
capability of each student. Muller ad
ded that some take a couple of months
while others years. The average
period however varies between six to
eight months.
Last year there were 115 students.
Of these 42 graduated, 32 dropped out
and the rest are still in the program.
Muller said that one of the reasons
the kids dropped out was mainly
because of the close family ties. They
felt guilty going to school while their
families worked and felt it their
responsibility to ease the burden by
working. Others felt homesick and
had been out of school for so long
that they found the going too tough,
he said.
All the students live on campus In
the dormitory complex. And they can
participate in all activities.
The HEP students have their own
student council and Judicial Board,
as well as other committees. The
Social Committee plans all their social
programs like roller skating, picnics,
campouts and trips to nearby cities.
The Judicial Board handles all
discipline problems. Muller added that
the youngsters themselves chose peo
ple for this position. They learn to
be responsible and take on com
mitments, he added.
The center at the university of
Nebraska is one of the best and most
successful in the whole venture,
Muller said. He added that the OEO
has increased its plans to expand
the HEP program.
Muller said that the program has
provided opportunity for leadership
among those participating. Most of
them are hard working and dedicated
to make their effort a success, he
added.
The students attend classes for
about six hours daily, and though it
was tough they like it. Most of them
said they would encourage their
friends to get enrolled once they get
back home. Most are thankful that
they have been given this chance to
better themselves. They all laughed
and nodded their heads in agreement
when one said, "I dig it."

On many early spring,
summer and fall mornings
men could be seen leaving
Lincoln, burdened with tape
recorders and speakers. AH
day they played and record
ed sounds in the country. The
sounds were not music. They
were the sounds of traffic.
This rather bizarre happen
ing was the result of a U.S.
Forestry Service research
program still in progress at
the University.
It involves studying ways
trees and shrubs might be
used to control traffic noise
levels, particularly in rec
reation areas.
David I. Cook, associate
professor of engineering
mechanics, and Dr. David
F. Van Haverbeke, assistant
professor of horticulture and
forestry, are in charge of
conducting the program.
Preliminary results of the
tests have shown that cer
tain foliage barriers can cut
sound levels up to 10 deci
bels. This Is an apparent 50
per cent reduction in loud
ness, Cook observed.
He explained that the test
ing procedure is relatively
simple. Sounds of highway
and- city traffic are record
ed and then projected
through belts of trees and
shrubs using a high capacity
sound system.
The sound level is mea
sured at various distances
behind the foliage belts and
is again tape-recorded for
further analysis. Cook said
that the procedure is then

repeated nearby with no fo
liage intervening.
A comparison of the sound
levels with and without the
foliage gives an indication of
the value of the trees and
shrubs in reducing the sound
level, he explained.
Cook continued that the
team had experimented with
a number of combinations of
tree heights, types and belt
widths. Preliminary tabula
tion of the data is going on
at present, he added.
Some partial conclusions
will probably be drawn by
the end of the current year,
he remarked. However, he
explained, no final results
will be available until the
project ends next year.
According to Cook, when
the project is completed the
results will be reported to
the Forest Service. They will
then be made available for
use in the design of parks,
playgrounds and other rec
reational areas.
Continuing, he stated that
the use of foliage barriers
should cut noise in areas near
highways down to a level
where it would not interfere
with normal conversation.
He added that tree bar
riers might also be used to
cut plane noise level in air
port parking lots. However,
the barriers would do no
good in stopping noise from
planes in flight.
Cook said that most of the
research is being done in the
area around Lincoln. He ex
plained that the flat prairie
country minimizes the effects
of hills and valleys in the
study.

We are proud to announce our new exclusive franchise on the incomparable SANSUI
Hi-Fi products. This week we are featuring the popular Model 2000.
What HIRSCH-HOUCK LABORATORIES has to say about the SANSUI 2000
' 'The SANSUI Model 2000 solid -stats AM stereo FM receiver is one of the most
interesting pieces of equipment we have tested in some time. It proved to be an
impressively fine instrument. . . .The styling of the SANSUI Model 2000 is. in
our opinion, exceptionally handsome and tasteful. It is distinctive as well-this
receiver is not likely to be mistaken for any ether make. . . .The specifications
of the Model 20iX) are quite impressive, which is not uncommon these days. What
impressed us. however, was the effortless way in which it met or surpassed
practically every specification. For example, it is rated at 32 watts per channel
into 8 ohms. ,With both channels driven, we found the clipoino level to be just
32 watts. . . .The FM tuner was a pleasant surprise. Jts llHF usable sensitivity
was 1.65 microvolts, with full limiting at 4 microvolts, which make it one of the
most sensitive FM tuners we have tested. Its stereo separation was by far the
best we have measured. Until we tested the SANSUI 2000 we did not suspect
that our test equipment was capable of separation measurements beyond 40 dS. ,
. ,ln all respects, the SANSUI 2000 was a pleasure to use and listen to. AH in
all, this was one of the "easiest to live with" receivers we have tested, and
it is a notable value at $299.95."
