Students in the program arc Oscar Hernandez. Hernandez travels to high schools to meet with high school counselors and look for people who fit the program require ments. School counselors refer stu dents they believe would benefit from the program, Hernandez said. The employment division "HEP is not just a program to get you GED, it's something special — geared to motivating and inspiring the student to continue on with his or her education/' -Oscar Hernandez. selected from throughout Ore gon according to skill level, in terest in getting a high school di ploma, as well as economic need, said Oregon HEP recruiter —Live Westside— Daily Lunch Specials fhur.

When prospective students are found, they apply to get into the program and are then given a test, said Hernandez. The test focuses on the main skill areas — reading, writing and mathe matics, Hernandez said. Students arc chosen according to skill level as shown in their test scores, Hernandez said. Those who will benefit most from the program arc chosen, he said. When the application process is completed, Hernandez, with the help of the teachers in HEP, selects 40 students for the pro gram. HEP is run under the direction of Hernandez, 5 program teach ers and personnel, and a place ment counselor. Of the 40 students in the pro gram, 10 use English as a second language. For these students, an ESL (English as a Second Lan guage) teacher is provided. Apart from the regular staff, the program also has University students in work study and vol unteer positions, said Hernan dez. "Not everyone who applies gets accepted to work in the pro gram," Hernandez said, "You must apply and go through an interview with every teacher." According to Hernandez, most of the students working for HEP arc education majors who have Spanish as a second language. The objective of the program is to teach students the skills necessary to obtain the equiva lent of a high school diploma or GED. Along with those academ ic skills, HEP also works to teach students the skills needed to sur vive in the outside world, said Hernandez. These skills help the students continue on after they are fin ished with the 8-10 week pro gram, Hernandez said. Hernan dez, himself a HEP student 5 years ago, can attest to the 90 percent success rate of the pro gram. Hernandez is currently a student at the University dou ble-majoring in psychology and political science. "HEP is not just a program to get you GED, it's something spe cial — geared to motivating and inspiring the student to continue on with his or her education," said Hernandez. Although HEP is run on the University campus and the stu dents live in the dorms, it is in dependent from the University. The program pays for its stu dents to live in the dorms, Her nandez said. By having HEP students live in the dorms, Hernandez said it helps them make new friends. "By having a lot of people liv ing in the dorms you get a differ ent perspective of culture from everyone,"said Hernandez. • Singing • Praise • Fellowship • Tonight - 7:00 1953 Garden Ave. Meet at SW comer of Oregon Hall visitor's parking to walk over.
