They Say One Learns Through Experience Did I hear you ask, Is my university actually involved in a federally-operated program? We surely are, and it ' s called U.Y.A. (University Year for Action). Under the appointed direction of Dr. Leon Beasley of the College of Education at U.S.L., thirty-nine U.S.L. students have been involved in this program since it began on January 1 5, 1 973. For those who do not know, here ' s how U.Y.A. got started at U.S.L. . . . U.Y.A. began shortly after the formation of ACTION, a federal agency set up to establish new methods by which to extract more volunteers from the population to aid low-income communities throughout the country. U.Y.A. is a yearly program which must be renewed each year, if the university desires to do so. The program is made up of selected volunteers who are enrolled in the university. Although these students work for the agency full-time, forty hours a week, arrangements are made between the college and the agency to provide a full year ' s credit toward each student ' s curriculum. Each student-volunteer is supervised throughout the year. Colleges are selected to partici- pate in the program according to the number of low-income families in surrounding areas and according to the resources avail- able to successfully provide for the program at the university. Presently, the students involved in U.Y.A. are working in conjunction with the city on a Home Improvement Project. The Tru- man sub-division has been the center of much activity for this project. A mini-park with such equipment as old tires and swings to provide the neighborhood children with a small playground of their own and a mobile dental unit have been set up in this area, to name a few of the activities in which our students have been involved. The thirty-nine U.S.L. students involved in the 73 program are as follows: Terry Barfield, Joseph Chaillot, Pamela Rigsby, Holly Hayden, Michael Hurston, Juliette Hynes, Donna Smith, John Smith, John Schoen, David Schoen, Donna Robicheaux, Mona Richard, Wayne Dauterive, Janet Egle, Jane E. Larue, Lynda Surcouf, Jan Voorhies, Rosabella Bellard, Sandra Dixon, Durinda Robinson, Deane Bertrand, Babette Abadie, Anice Hilton, Jack Hourcade, Charlotte Smith, Steve Lund, Luceia Ledoux, Christine Bouzon, Stacey Boudreaux, Martin Barcelona, Frank Herdliska, Michael Holly, James Whitmore, Douglas Winn, and Lynda Landry.
