An evolutionary model of a Population I star of 20M &sun; and of compsitionX=0.70;Y=0.28, beyond the main sequence and up to core helium exhaustion is reported. Calculations were carried out to determine the effect of semi-convection using a method of mixing considered physically more appropriate than previous methods. Both the density as wel as the temperature stability criteria were employed in parallel calculations and reasons are advanced to prefer the temperature criterion. The results of the model calculations reported here underline the importance of the proper choice of the stability criterion and an appropriate mixing-scheme. In addition it is demonstrated that the loop phenomenon seen in the helium burning evolution of less massive stars is either absent or very unpronounced at 20M &sun;.
