It is perplexing to some that Johnson, a master of quiet ne gotiations and compromise, has resorted to a glaring, banner waiving diplomacy. Many feel that sphinx like personality in the White House has only made these concessions in order to silence his critics—in the na lion and in Congress to make his plea for a supplemental $13 billion approval received with a rubber stamp approval Regardless of his motives — it is foolish to assume that a man of Johnson's complexity hasn’t many students and fac ulty members should avail themselves of this opportunity flhe telpgram) to praise the peace efforts that possibly, just possibly, might slow down this monstrous Frankenstein (the war in Viet Nam i that threatens to destroy thousands of huinun beings.

And on the other hand, the societies of the extreme right hand who have been used to the role of defending the Un-Amer ican Activities Committee now begin to question its usefulness. So that we may not be trap ped into raising the double standard, it is imperative when pressing for anti-discrimination in the Greek system, we don’t resort to methods and tactics that we ourselves would feel reprehensible in a different given circumstance. Koiru; on (hr unemployment rolls I eventually. That's only the vocational side of the curriculum picture at Tongue Point. There are also academic courses. Few trainees at Tongue Point have graduated from high school Most dropped out early in school They can earn a certificate at Tongue Point that most high schools will recognize as cquiva- ■ lent to a diploma. Some were in a college pro grain at Clatsop Junior College, Handbook Gives New State Law Oregon'* new compsenation law is explained in a handbook to be published by the University (Jen ter for Continuing Education by the middle of January. The 1965 Oregon State Legis lature enacted the new law, which imposes new responsibilities, es t a Wishes new procedures, and in troduces a new competitive sys : tem of pricing and cost control. Information on the law was j compiled from the proceedings! of a conference on workmen's j compensation held on campus in November, sponsored by the ; School of Business Administra tion The handbook will include sam ple forms, detailed instructions regarding claim reporting and hearings and reviews, rate mak ing, and safety suggestions.

Webfoot Flying Club There will be an nrganiza tional meeting of the Webfoot Flying Club tonight at 7 p.m. in the SU. The Webfoot Fly ing Club will offer flight train ing and aircraft rental to all University students, faculty and staff. YMCA to Prepare Exam Test File Old tests are being requested for a joint project of the Student Senate’s Academic and Cultural Committee and the campus YMCA A file of these tests will be available in the SU YMCA lounge, provided enough professors re spond by giving tests, according to Chuck I’almerlce, assistant di rector of the campus YMCA. The purpose of the program is to help students in preparing for exams and in deciding which courses to take. SDS to Sponsor Double Feature The Students For a Democratic Society is sponsoring two 30-min ute films on contemporary social unrest across America. The films will be shown in 150 Science at 8 p.m., Wednesday. The first of the films, “The Women’s Strike for Peace” shows several of the peace strikes in which women played major roles. The second film, “Decision in the Streets," is concerned with the Berkeley student protest. Norman Luboff Choir To Present Concert The Norman Luboff Choir will be presented in concert at the University January 25. Tickets for the concert are now on sale at the main desk of the Student Union and at Mattox Pipe Shop. Prices are $2.00 for reserved seats, $1.50 for reserved section, and $1.00 for general ad mission. The singing group, which is be ing brought to the University as a special attraction by the SU Board, will appear in McArthur Court at 8 p.m. This will be their first appearance in Eugene. located on a hill overlooking As- ] toria but the national OEO inter ' pieted the Economic Opportunity j Act (the law that created the Job Corps and other “war on poverty” programs) that the! Tongue Point center couldn’t pay 1 tuition for its trainees at Olat-1 sop. Now these boys may be in eluded in the Upward Bound pro-, gram at the University, another : "war on poverty” project. Since trainees pick their own program, those who take aca domic courses have a pretty high 1 attendence. Not all trainees arc enrolled in academic courses Everybody takes vocational edu cation courses. Overall attend ence is 93 per cent, about the same as most high schools. There's one last step in the Job Corps training program. Once these boys are trained, jobs have to be found for them. There’s little trouble there. OEO says there arc far more jobs available than there are Corps men to fill them. The first 10 graduates of Tongue Point were spoken for and Placement Director Ken Lof ton has had little trouble placing the others. Many of them want to go back to their home towns, though this number is decreasing, says Lof ton. Southern Negroes are among the main boys who don’t want to go back home. One, who’ll be a trained appliance technician when he graduates, says, "I couldn’t get a job back there (Louisiana), not fixing appliances. Digging ditches maybe.” Is the Tongue Point Job Corps accomplishing its purpose: to train young men for jobs they can hold? It’s significant that, trainee complaints about the curriculum are few and that only a few have left because they “weren't learn ing enough.” With only 46 graduates so far from Tongue Point, it is too early to discern any trend on how the graduates are doing. “We’ve had some good reports end some had ones,” says Lofton. "Right now the successes oitt , number the failures but I wouldn't want to try to pick out a trend.’ One of the major problems ; graduates have is that they don't , get a true picture of what it’s like to be on the job. "We can imitate a job situa tion. -ays Lofton. In fact, that's one of Lareau’s goals: to make them feel like they’re on the job, not in the classroom. But we can’t simulate such things as public contact,” says Lofton. This is partially solved by on the - job training mostly in Astoria, where boys work in local shops under supervision of the manager, who grades their per formance for the center. But many boys drop out of the Corps before they can get into this phase of the program. It’s mainly these boys — the drop outs—who've had trouble holding a job after they get out.
