Dear Mr. Whelan:

Upon your request, I have submitted a critique of the activities of
interns of the Atlanta Urban Corps:

The Sanitary Division employed 14 interns for various duties during
the summer months of 1969. Their functions ranged from administrative
work, to time and motion studies, cost analysis, public relations, and
general survey of garbage and rubbish collection. Their purpose was
to do research into almost every aspect of the Division's operations
and report the relative efficiency of each and report any new concepts
they deemed relevant.

Each intern, within minor limitations, was allowed to work on his
project quite freely, with little hindrance or interference from any
supervisory personnel. Although much of the wrk is still in process,
we are able to draw some conclusions and assessments at this time. On
the whole, the interns have done acceptable work which is generally

of above-average quality. There have been no major problems quring the
course of the summer's operations and, generally, the Sanitary Division
feels that this program is of considerable value to both the student
and the department. As an example of our high regard for the Corps,
Mr. R. E. Hulsey has authorizea me to hire, if possible, several interns
to continue into the fall on a full-time basis. :

As far as the operation of the Urban Corps itself is concerned, I feel
that the operation was basically efficient. Although there were some
minor problems with getting the program under way, these are to be
expected in the first year of such a large operation. All in all,

the Sanitary Division has benefited from the program and we feel that
the students had a real experience so far as the "service-learning"
concept is concerned.

Very truly yours,
