The Educational Develop- ment Center at the University of San Diego this week began an experimental project to assist underprivileged boys from Logan Heights to improve their reading ability. AScientific Experiment "The project is a scientific experiment to assist youth to develop communication skills and positive attitudes," said Dr. Gerald Sperrazzo, Director, USD Educational Develop- ment Center. "Simply, we will attempt to produce behavioral and attitude changes." Sperrazzo said that two groups of boys were tested be- fore the project began. One group is now receiving a ten- week reading program for an hour each morning, four days a week, before attending regu- lar school classes. The other, a control group, will receive no special reading instruction. After ten weeks each group will again be tested and eval- uated for progress. The boys range in age from 13 to 16 years. The program was initiated through the efforts of Fred Hayes, director of the _William J . Oakes Boys Club in Logan Hei ght s and Al Couppee , sports announcer for KOGO Time/Life Broadcasting Sta- tion. "The project is experimental and no predictions are made on changes which may occur as a result of the reading pro- gr am," said Dr. Sperrazzo.
