Johnson, a master of quiet ne

that sphinx like personality in

these concessions in order to

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.
