Alexandra Harvey, second grader qt The Hall, works on a mathematical puzzle in the new Primary learning Center. Alexandra is the daughter of Ms. Kathi Harvey of Northeast Portland. L e a rn in g c en ter enriches “Purely for enrichment," that's how the new Primary L earn in g C e n te r at St. Helen’s Hall Ix>wer School ran best be described. Here youngsters are offered the chance to learn in a very challenging, yet non com[M-ti tive atmosphere. Directed by a volunteer parent. Mrs. J. Stephen IGinil Cline, the Learning Center offers all kinds of intriguing activities. There's visual discrimination games such as shape analysis cards, large tinker toys which help build motor coordination, and a Listening Section equipped with cassette tapes and read a long books. Gini Cline became active in the Center because she cares about the youngsters in the Lower School, having two daughters there herself. "In s id e this C enter the youngsters can come in, choose an activity and work it their speed. They're never compelled to finish a task because of pressure or competition from their peer group," she added. Mrs. Cline devotes four full days a week at the Center. Currently the Center is available to youngsters in the primary through second grades. Hopefully next year a Secondary Ia-arning Center ran be made available for the other grade levels. Portland State University has received a 49,500 grant from the National Science Foundation to support sum mer research by professors ind undergraduate students mi at least two subjects -elating to the energy crisis. One covers studying more rfficient uses of electrical jnergy in the reduction of -op|M-r and the other deals with the question of whether lolar energy is a practical alternative for heating homes around the Portland area. The grant was awarded under a two-yearold pro gram of NSF support for undergraduate student re search rather than the tradi tiorial graduate student re search. Six Portland State professors will supervise the -esearch. They are: Jon Opsal, physirs; Carl Bach huber, physics; la ird Brodie, physics; John Dash, physics; Gertrude Rempfer, physics; and George Tsongas, applied science and engineering. Three of the five students - John Ruscigno, junior; Kevin Housen, junior; and Gregg Ordway, senior are from Portland State. The other two students, as yet to be selected, will be from other Portland area rolleges and universities. Opsal. who is directing the 10 week program, says the research on more efficient uses of electrical energy in the reduction of copper may I m - inqiortant for copper re duction companies, which are heavy power consumers. The research on solar energy, he said, will deal with developing more inex pensive collectors which can convert sunlight directly into electricity for heating homes. There is a question, Opsal added alutut whether solar energy makes sense in an area like Portland where there is little sunglight. One other part of the summer program follows a National Science Foundation emphasis on studying re newable resources. It deals with how the motion of bubbles in water purifies and cleanses the water. Opsal said results may have jm plications for processing sewage.
