HEP is a selective and demanding 10 week course that teaches students how to function in this society, said Director Emilio Hernandez. The students come mostly from families who migrate up and down the West Coast states doing seasonal-harvest work, such as in agriculture or forestry From a variety of ethnicities and ranging in age from lli to 24 years, the students have an inadequate base education. Hernandez said Because they hod to c hange schools constantly, most drop|>od out early HEP encourages the students to take advantage of the opportunities their families sought originally Trte program prepares students to take the General Education Development test, which is espial to a high school diploma, hut it also teaches that self-confidence and goal-setting are imperative if they want to succeed, Her nandez said At least 80 pen«nt of those who enroll go on to work outside the agricultural stream. About half move up to higher education even though they had an average complet ed education at the sixth-grade level just a few months Indore. And that is exactly what the Johnson administration intended when it began the program as part of its War On Poverty plan a quarter century ago. In response to publicity about migrant workers condition and concern over the increasing number of high school drop-outs, the government set up one of the only two test programs at the University. Since then. 22 other HEP programs have successfully been established across the nation They serve the three streams of migrant workers in the western, eastern and central United States, Hernandez said Hernandez attributes the success of Eugene's HEP to its strategic l OiUty I mtHHM The appearance of Eugene'* premier issue of an underground feminist magazine Friday signi fies the grovvlh of an era in which women can safely express (heir rage and pain, its publishers say. A new. local chapter of the nationwide Hint C.rrrl put the publication together in order to give women the voice to address their experience with sexual or domestic violence. The chapter formed in response to a self-defense class requirement. The final project asked for students to come up with a creative way to promote women's empowerment against emotional and physic al attack Kris Cornwell, one of five women m a class fm dilation group, thought of producing the underground magazine because she was so impressed with one site had ordered from another chapter "it interested me because it was by women lor women, ' she said. Most of the art. essays and poems iri Hint Crrrl consist of contributions by women on the University campus. The group notes that several men who read the first issue wore intrigued and impressed. in fact, men will benefit from reading it because all of the issues inadvertently address and affect everyone, Cornwell said "It is no! a ninn-ha!ing maga zine.” she said, "but it is anger, and that is positive. The poems are powerful because the women need to express to heal.” Another of the magazine's organizers. Anita Chin, calls il a tool for awareness She said that although the first 14-page issue takes on the theme of "Surviv ing the Violence," the next issue will tie an open subject. The subscription list is grow ing. and the next issue is expect ed to be available at the end of August, The per-copy subscription cost is $1. but anyone who would like to inspect a copy may do so at the Women's Ou ter.
