Loudoun Asked to Join
Regional Park Set Up
By JAMES BIRCHFIELD
Star Staff Writer

LEESBURG, Va, Aug. 21.-
Loudoun County has been ask
ed to join the Northern Vir-
ginia Regional Park Authority
for the development of park
plans in the county.
Mrs. Mary Cook Hickman,
vice chairman of the authority,
told the county she would like
to see an ARC of parks extend
ing from below Alexandria up
through Loudoun County"
She explained that under the
per capita method of appor-
tioning funds, Loudoun would
be asked to pay $1,000 for OPP
Grating costs and $4,000 for
land acquisition.
She said the Federal Gov
eminent puts up 80 per cent of
the costs of obtaining park
plans, which would mean that
Loudoun County's parks would
cost the county about 5 per
cent of their actual value. This
is because the county's appro-
priation to the authority would
be about 5 per cent.
Selection Put Off
Board chairman ]. Emory
Kirkpatrick was authorized at
the boards last meeting to ap-
point a committee to look into
the establishment of a county
park authority. This group has
not yet been named, and the
board postponed action on Mrs.
Hackman's request until the
park study group is named.
Mrs. Hickman said that only
81 million of the $35 million
authorized by Congress last
year for matching funds to
acquire park property had been
used throughout the Nation.
She said if Loudoun joined
the authority it might help
to get more funds from the
Federal Government for the
open space program.
The Loudoun jail came in for
criticism by the director of the
division of corrections.

A group Of $50 foreign stu
dents began a failure-proofing
course at Georgetown Uni
versity designed to keep them
from flunkiing out at the
Americana collegs and uni
versities they will attend this
fall.
The two-week Pre-University
Workshop to acquaint the for
eign students with the tech
niques of study and research in
American colleges was de-
scribed as "a university year in
miniature" by DR.. David P.
Harris, its director.
The workshop is sponsored
by the Agency for International
Development in cooperation
with other governmental agen-
cies at the university. Each of
the students is enrolled in the
AID program and will be at
tending American college
classes for the first time shortly
after the Georgetown program.
Areas of Conflict
DR.. Harris explained that the
workshop will include an intro
duction to the American system
Of higher education as well as
instruction and practice in such
subjects as classroom proceed
ures, examination techniques,
note-taking, report writing, the
use of the library and outside
study.
I'VE isolate the features of
American education which con-
flict with those the students are
accustomed to in their native
countries" said DR.. Harris.
I'VE try to reproduce the typi-
cal American University situa-
ton for them to give them a
healthy breathing space be-
tween their arrival in this coun-
try and the beginning of their
academic studies"
Thorough Examinations
Foreign students, for exam
pie, are accustomed to thorough
examinations at the end of the
academic year and classroom
situations where they Dartici-
pate little in the discussions.
I'VE will introduce them to
the American way, such as
studying at night for a test the
next day or taking an &C
tive part in classroom discus
sions with their professors . .
and our rules of compulsory at
tendance" said DR.. Harris. eve
will teach them how to read
and interpret a college cata-
logue and the various degree
requirements and how to pro-
duce under pressure.
The students also will be
equipped for living on college
campus. One unit Of their study
is about campus Technology
where they are taught the
meanings of names and titles
of persons, academic terms, stu
dent activities and the alb
breviations used by American
students.
U. S. Method Superior
The students, all males, rep
resent SO countries with most
of them coming from Africa
DR.. Harris said results of the
previous programs have indi-
Gated that nine Of 10 students
find the program helpful.
One student in the George
town program is Oner Unalan
a 27-year- old agricultural STU
dent from Turkey who will at
tend Oklahoma State next
month.
Mr.. Unalan, taught by Amer
lean professors at Ankara Uni
versity in Turkey, said he
thinks the program will be in
valuable because he has found
American methods of study and
research superior.
