It is a harsh climate and a good third of the time the Sahel is in a state of drought "Since the early 1970s there have been droughts an over Africa, including some areas thought to be rain forests and the kinds of droughts Africa has now win happen again in highly unpredictable places." Another reason for refugees is not limited to climatic or overpopulation matters, Mrs. Smythe said. Countries By William R. Wineke Of The State Journal conditions creating large refugee populations throughout the world aren't likely to disappear, so it would do the international community wen to find ways to make the refugee experience productive, suggests one of the nation's leading experts in refugee matters.

Mabel M. Smythe, senior professor of African Studies at Northwestern University and former deputy assistant secretary of state for African affairs, was in Madison Monday to speak at a seminar on refugees in Africa. Mrs. Smythe served the State Department during the Carter administration. She suggested that a "flying squad of educators" be developed to travel to refugee camps and begin schools.

"I would like to see teachers fly in along with the people who bring blankets and tents," she said. "There's no reason why there couldn't be a central supply of paper and pens and school books in the major languages." Many refugee communities include people who could teach if they had the proper tools, Mrs Smythe suggested. "I'd like to see it accepted that when people become refugees you give them, as quickly as possible, a stable environment with education and with an opportunity for natural leadership to emerge," she sakL "If my priorities were observed, most refugees would come out of the camp with the ability to read and write and work with figures," she said, adding that those skills could help the refugees find new lives outside the camps. Mrs. Smythe suggested three reasons for the continuing refugee problem in Africa.

"One is overpopulation in the Sahel region," she said. "The best parts of the Sahel are semi-arid and cant support a large population."

UW education research ranks 4th The University of Wisconsin-Madison produces the fourth largest amount of education research among the nation's universities, according to a new nation-wide study. Maurice Eash, an urban education research professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, conducted the study and its findings are reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education, a weekly newspaper published in Washington, D.C. The study ranked universities according to a formula that inciud- ed, among other things, the number of articles published by an institution's faculty in leading education research journals between 1975 and 1981 and the extent of faculty participation in programs at American Educational Research Association annual meetings during those years. Stanford University was ranked number one, the University of California at Los Angeles was second and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was third.

Prof speaks on counter-cultures Dr. J. Milton Yinger, an anthropologist and UW-Madison alumnus, will speak on counter-cultures at 7 tonight in 2650 Humanities.

Waller County government reporter The 10-hour meters in the Dane County Ramp are an injustice, Dane County Supervisor William Boyd, 22nd District, Madison, said Monday as he sought County Board support to change them back to 20 cents an hour, or to establish a monthly parking pass that would save money for ramp regulars. The county spent $22,000 last month changing meters in the ramp' at 113 S. Henry Street to 30 cents an hour.

The short-term meters take nickels, dimes and quarters, but the long-term meters don't take nickels, and that has upset some people. On the 874 long-term meters, a dime buys 20 minutes of time and the quarter, which should buy 50 minutes, only buys 40. For every quarter put in the slot, Boyd said, the long-term parker loses a nickel, and anyone who parks for nine hours and uses only quarters spends 80 cents extra per day. Transportation Committee members say the system is legal and they had no choice, since it was the only way the meters can be used for rates of 30 cents per hour. That explanation did not satisfy about 140 persons, many employed in the Wisconsin Department of Justice near the ramp.

They have petitioned the County Board to return to the 20-cent rate. Boyd has proposed a parking ordi-nance amendment to return to the former rate, but it has received a cold By Jean Padrutt UW Engineering Publications Office As many as 100,000 heart patients a year could benefit from a microcomputer-based instrument that monitors heart rhythm. These are patients whose physicians are searching for an arrhythmia that occurs too infrequently to be detected by chance during an office visit. "As microcomputers get smaUer and more sophisticated, we are able to do long-term monitoring of patients as they go through their daily routines," says electrical and computer engineer Willis Tompkins. "Previously such long-term monitoring could only be done in a hospital because of the size and complexity of the equipment required" Tompkins, Professor John Webster, and their graduate students have developed a portable arrhythmia monitor that is "intelligent" enough to decide whether an ECG rhythm is normal or abnormal as it is being measured.

If a rhythm is abnormal, the monitor saves a segment of it in its memory for later transmission over telephone lines to the patient's physician. The monitor, which the patient wears in a pouch, can run for several days before the batteries must be recharged. If it detects a peculiarity in the heart's electrical output, the monitor beeps a warning, conveys information via a liquid crystal display. (LCD), and stores 16 seconds of the abnormal ECG. The LCD tells the pa- an over the world are at war often for decades and war creates refugees.

No matter what the reason for the refugees, there is opportunity to help their children become literate and have a fair chance at life, Mrs. Smythe insisted. "If the United States can fly to a war zone and set up a field hospital with surgeons operating within 24 hours, then surely it can set up a school," she said. According to United Nations estimates, there are five miUion refugees in Africa, most of them women, chil-dren and elderly persons. Nearly two dozen African states receive emergency food aid.

reception in two county committees. The Transportation Committee voted unanimously for indefinite postponement, and the Finance Committee tabled it until next Monday. "The only fair way is to go back to 20 cents an hour," Boyd said, "but I don't think the board wffl buy if As an alternative, Boyd asked the Finance Committee to consider offering a $42 monthly parking pass, like the $49 monthly pass available at two city ramps that have rates of 35 cents an hour. Supervisor Roberta Leidner, 10th District, Madison, chairman of the Transportation Committee, said the county would need 544 more 10-hour daily customers in the ramp to earn what would be lost if a $42 monthly pass were issued and used. "The county will lose money hand over fist if people took advantage of the pass, but I doubt they would," she said "There's been very little participation in the city's pass system since it started about a year ago." Boyd said a monthly rate would mean long-term parking customers would be paying 21.5 cents per hour, a rate increase of 7.5 percent an hour, rather than a 50-percent increase.

Mrs. Leidner's figures varied from Boyd's. She said long-term parkers would be paying about 23 cents per hour, adding that it would unfairly give them a 7-cents an hour advantage over short-term parkers.

The patient can also manually override the system so his ECG is recorded if he feels symptoms.

The physician's computer is an inexpensive microprocessor-based device that can easily be transported between office and home. It provides direct access to the data from the portable monitor wherever there is a telephone. Once telephone contact is established, the physician can capture the ECG from the remote monitor and transmit it to any ECG machine by simply pushing buttons. The physician is actively involved in the decision-making and makes the diagnosis not the computer. Biomedical engineers are currently developing three other battery-operated, microcomputer-based instruments: an arrhythmia monitorrecorder for use in the operating room; a detector to warn parents of apnea, or suspension of respiration in infants at high risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and a biofeedback device for correction of speech disorders.
