Tongue Point Sees Many Chanaes . . .

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."

members and -112 trainee*, and lias orders to cut 100 more olT the
rolls because of political pressure from the White House.
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.)

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.
