Year-round schedule to affect LA’s school district and JEP
By Michael Cary
Staff Writer
The adoption of a year-round schedule for all 618 schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District will affect the operation of the university's Joint Educational Project.
The Los Angeles school board, in a 4-3 decision, voted Monday for the new schedule, which should ( help the school district deal with overcrowding in local schools.
Fourteen overcrowded elementary schools will be converted to the new system next year and all other schools are scheduled to convert in 1989. An exact year-round calendar has not yet been determined.
Tyson Reyes, director of student affairs in the School of Education, said the school district's year-round plan is an attempt to alleviate the fact that the district has a "critical shortage" of teachers.
"A change is obviously very necessary," said Susan Short, coordinator of academic affairs at JEP, which is a university / community partnership that offers urban education programs. "The schools can't serve all of the students."
Short said she is not sure whether the year-round schedule is appropriate because there are still ''so many questions" left unanswered.
Half of the schools that JEP works with are al-
ready on a year-round schedule. Short said. She said the change will not be "totally new." However, the various operations will make the students' scheduling more complicated.
"We will have to keep track of what class is on what schedule," she said.
One-quarter of the district's 592,000 students currently attend 85 year-round schools, the Los Angeles Times reported.
All university students involved in JEP work for eight weeks. Students serve as tutors and teacher aides and a small number serve as professional assistants, Short said.
A majority of the JEP students volunteer to teach mini-courses. Short said. Groups of three to four students teach a one-hour lesson once a week for eight weeks, "like team teaching,” she said.
JEP also participates in youth clubs that will continue to be available to students after school hours. Short said.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the district had gained more than 20,000 new students since 1985. However, the district reported less than
2,000	new students enrolled this fall, despite a projected enrollment increase of 14,000.
Phyllis Lellman', coordinator of the School of Education's new curriculum, was not available for comment.

Graduate music students gave a free concert in EF Hutton Park, near Bing Theatre, Thursday as part of an ongoing weekly cultural series sponsored by the Academic Honors Assembly of the Program Board
A lunchtime performance will be scheduled for most Thursdays in the park, said Leo Alonzo, director of the Academic Honors Assembly. Future events will indude conceits, poetry readings, art exhibits and perhaps original student films, he added.
This week, the Los Angeles Marimba Group performed selections dating from the 1920s to 1930s. The five-man group was made up of graduate students from the university's School of Music.
Since there had been little publicity for the event, Alonzo said the majority of spectators were merely passers-by.
He explained that this is the AH As first year in operation.
However, he said, the group's purpose is dear.
"We want to have people realize we do more here than play football," said Alonzo. "No one seems to realize that we have some of the best schools in the nation "
Mike Wolbach, the AHA's programming adviser from the Office of Student Affairs and part of the task fone which created the AHA, said the assembly was put together "basically to organize all academic honors societies on campus
Alonzo said 10 honors groups are presendy represented in the AHA, including Mortar Board and those for pre-med and pre-law
students.	„ . .
