Newspaper Page TextTongue Point Sees Many Chanaes . . . (( nit tinned from f’oiir /) recommended by Fred Hubert, a management analyst from the University McAbee and Business Manager Ketso Clow replaced Shellenbarger as assistant direc tors. McAbee runs programming, including curriculum and the liv trig units. The staif at Tongue Point seems conscious of the criticism that’s already been leveled at the Job Corps and of the even greater amount of criticism that will probably come from Hepubli cans in the election year Con gress that convened Monday. How does Tongue Point stack up against the criticism leveled nationally at the Job Corps pro gram? Realistic Philosophy On a recent trip to Washing ton McAbee talked to some of the people who ve organized pro grams at other centers "There’s no question in my mind that we have the most realistic philos ophy," he says. What is that philosophy7 "We believe that you build people by working with them, not doing things for them," says Me A bee Most criticism has centered on high expenditures and high staff totals It was originally estimated it would cost $4,500 to send a boy through the training program for a year That cost was revised upward to $7,000 but at Tongue Point it's casting $13,000 now There are 412 trainees at Tongue Point and 400 staff mem bers That staff has already been cut and will be cut again by prob ably close to 100 people on orders from President Johnson lie’s ordered cuts at all Job Corps camps in anticipation of ltepubli can criticism Figures Inaccurate These figures are partly mis leading because- the Tongue Point center is at less than half capac ity The trainee total will increase by about 100 per month until it hit* 1.000 The trainee staff ratio will be about 3 1 after those per sonnei cuts. Most of those cuts will come in non teaching staff There are 153 teachers vocational and aca domic— at Tongue Point now. There are 10 counselors, 56 in the dormitory system, and 16 ad ministrators, The rest are secur ity guards, maintenance people, secretaries, cooks, and so on. There have been other criti cisms of the Job Corps camps. At some the class attendance is Poor. But at Tongue Point it’s 1 about 9,'t per cent, or the equal ; of most high schools. I "Of course,” McAbcc admits, "it can be argued that we should have better attendance since we have the trainees living right ; here." Tardiness Vocational Training Director I'.rnie Careau says the big prob lorn is not class-skipping but tar ! diness. The Tongue Point trainees themselves all seem happy with the vocational training program Cast summer their complaints centered around lack of recrea Smith, O'Neal Due At Briefing Center "Grassroots: Catin America," the development of Catin Amer ican countries at the village lev el, is the subject of the discus sion to he held at 4 p m. today in the World Affairs Briefing Center in the basement of the SU.

Smith studied regional develop merit in Paraguay utilizing geo graphic technique under a Ful bright-Hays research grant He was in Paraguay for a year work ing in a community development center in southern Paraguay near Encarnacion. and was headquar tered at Asencion, the capital. O’Neal worked for two years in Guatemala with the Peace Corps' rural community development program His work in Guatemala was centered around Kabinal. in central Guatemala The talk will he accompanied with slides, and a question and answer period will follow.

But it must be remembered that the center is not at the full strength of 1,000 expected for this summer. The staff ratio will be considerably reduced then, of course. And a center to train disadvantaged youths is not a place where staff levels ran be kept miniscule the special situation of the Job Corps requires a special kind of staff, and plenty of them. The charges of high expenditures arc not completely justified at this early stage in the program. As Tongue Point's Program Director. Harold McAbee, points out, if only 80 boys are given skills which will give them lifetime employment, the government's original investment will have been repaid in welfare savings Indications are that far more than 80 boys will get jobs, and keep them, Oregon’s Hep Edith (been has rebutted this criticism effectively several times by pointing out that many people who rebel at the thought of spending money to help i>oor people have no qualms about the billions spent each year to get to the moon. Letters to the Editor {( ontiiiitcii front f'di/i' f>) grains We have advocated rock and roll concerts to be pre sented in addition to the others. Students have overwhelmingly voiced approval for such a step. (A poll taken last spring showed HI', out of over 700 students supporting such a resolution and the poll included students of all classes and majors.) It is time for the University entertain ment policy to take on an ex panded look and consider the attitudes of the majority of the students in programming some of their concerts. It is, and has been, my con tention that University students will pay money to see outstand ing rock entertainment. This theory will be tested this term and it may be a turning point in the policies of this school in regards to rock and roll enter tainers. It may also spur the dance committee to provide better bands from the area for aftergame dances instead of the low-quality groups that are picked up for a small fee. You usually get what you pay for and we haven’t been paying much. Students seldom take time to write letters favorable to a pol icy, usually writing when ag gravated by something. Al though I have voiced some com plaints, I should like to con clude by voicing strong support for the SIT Board in their pro gramming of the Beach Boys. It takes an initial brick to build on, and, even though faculty members and Eugene citizens may be missing from the Beach Boy concert, congratulations to those responsible for laying that bring down. (Let’s hope that tickets are distributed at the University before they are is sued to downtown stores. It would he too bad to see Oregon students shut out while local high schoolers watch the show.) Patrick 1). Latterly Junior, Speech ' lion and unhappy living condi | lions. Today they all say they like the training program, i Other critics point to the high dropout rate* at most Job Corps camps Tongue Point's was very high this summer; over 300 train ees quit and went home during June and July. Some just didn’t like it, some gave family or personal problems as reasons, some went hack to work, others back to school. Almost Nothing But by December the drop-out rate had dwindled away to al most nothing. One trainee quit Tongue Point during December. Others, such as a Rutgers Uni versity group that studied the Job Corps’ "showcase” camp at Kilmer, N.J., make even more basic criticisms of the Job Corps. Some of their recommendations about Kilmer—such as providing more recreation, on-the job train ing, and tailoring programs to individual trainees — apparently don’t apply to Tongue Point any more, though they did before the changes made here after the sum mer disturbances. One Rutgers professor. Francis Purcell, objects in U S News and World Report that the Job Corps trains Corpsmen for dead-ended jobs—jobs they either won’t be able to hold for very long or which won’t give them much room for advancement. But Tongue Point’s Lareau says that if a boy will stay with the Job Corps long enough—at least six months — enough can learn enough skills to be employable for life. Criticisms Difficult Other criticisms—such as ob jections to the idea of camps set apart from society—are hard to defend because the Job Corps idea is still young. Answers to these questions — at least at Tongue Point—will come in the months ahead. Because of the crash program almost all of 1965 was lost to the Tongue Point, center. It had to spend the whole year weeding out the boys who didn't belong and making extensive revisions in administration, recreation, and the group living program. .Vow Tongue Point is in a posi tion to answer those unanswered questions about the Job Corps. With only 46 graduates results so far are inconclusive. But with the trainee and gradu ate total growing, and the new trainees coming in at a slower rate and better oriented, the ne>.t few months will answer the ques tion of whether the Job Corp* at Tongue Point can work.
