Corps Graduates 28 in Astoria ASTORIA—Twenty eight .lob Corpsmen completed the program at the University's Tongue Point Job Corps Center during March, j making this the largest number to receive certificates of com pletion in any one month since the Center opened last year. In addition to the 28 who were successfully finished the voca tional training of their choice, an other 14 left Tongue Point to re turn to school, go into the armed services or to start work on a job they said they had located This brings the total number of graduates in March to 42 (The Office of Economic Opportunity defines "graduates" as those who j have completed the program, joined the armed forces, gone back to school, or found employ ment.) During its first year of op j oration—February, 1985, to Feb ruary, 1968— the Tongue Point Center graduated 173 corpsmen, including 40 who received certi ficates of completion after sue cessfully finishing vocational ed ucation courses. In the past two months—the beginning of t h e second year of successful opera tion -60 Job Corpsmen have been graduated. Douglas Olds, Center director, said Tongue Point is "aiming toward ((graduating) 60 to 65 per cent or higher if possible” of the total number of corpsmen who enter the Job Corps program. As of April 7, 693 Job Corps men were on board. Total capac ity at Tongue Point, expected to be reached by September, is 1, Sftt> Olds said the total number graduating each month would "level off" for a short period due to the small number of youths who were sent to the Center dur ing the last six months of 1965. "Rut eventually we should graduate 75 to 100 per month,” he said.

J Museum Shows Functional 'Art' An exhibition of “Shaker Art” j from the Hancock Shaker Village of Pittsfield, Mass., will be on dis play at the University Museum of Art today through May 1, as part of the second annual Reli ! gion in Culture Week at the University. It is a unique exhibition of art, since the items were never in tended as "art.” The collection: includes household items such as ! chairs and tables, farm tools, utensils, and photographs of ar chitecture. The Shakers designed their “art” objects to perform effici ency and effectively the func tions for which they were intend ed—a hay rake was intended to rake hay and was so designed. The resulting forms of the ob jects are distinguished by sim plicity, exactness, and quiet col oring They constitute, together with Shaker architecture, an art of unparalleled quality in early 19th century America. The Shakers, who formed a socio-religious society of Amer ica’s 19th century history, were an off shoot of the Quakers. While the Quakers merged with the! world, the Shakers separated ' from it and attempted to estab- ■ lish a “perfect” society. The peoples in each community : lived together in “families,” each with its own spiritual and tern poral head. The administration j was equally divided among the j men and women—for although they eschewed marriage and prac ticed celibacy, they recognized the equality of the sexes in a manner far ahead of their time. The temporal foundation of j -Shaker Society was an “order of: trades," the nature of such large- j ly depending on the resources of the particular community. The exhibition in the Univer sity Museum of Art presents a se lected documentation of the Sha ker way of life. With the arti cles on display will be proto graphic panels of buildings and interiors which give a feeling for the environment in which the S’’ 'ikers lived and worked. In conjunction with the ex hibition, the Museum will hold a ! gallery reception honor on April j 19. honoring Salli Terri, noted folk singer. Miss Terri will be on campus to give a lecture and concert on Shaker art and music. The lecture-concert will be at 8 p.m. in the Music School Audi torium, with the reception in the museum at 9:30 p.m. Hours at the Museum of Art are from 11 a m. to 5 p.m. Tues day and Thursday, and from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sun day.
