Douglas Graham Vaughan,
this year’s NewsEditor for The
Print will take over the helm as
next year’s Editor In Chief.
Vaughan is a graduate of
Gladstone High School, where he
was the Editor In Chief. This is
his first year at Clackamas
Community College.
Vaughan will be replacing J.
Dana Haynes, who will continue
to write for the newspaper next
year.
“I have great faith in Doug,”
Haynes said. “He has added a
great deal to The Print this year
in terms of professionalism, hard
work and good, journalistic
common sense.”

Steve Lundgren, the current
editor of Rhapsody magazine,
will retain . that position next
year.
Rhapsody is Clackamas
Community College’s magazine
of arts and literature, and is
published three times a year.
Lundgren, 19, is from Colton
High School. This was his first
year at the College, and he ad
mitted that taking over as editor
was tough for a first-year
student.
However, he feels this has
been a good year for him. “I think
I’ve improved the magazine from
when I took the helm. Hopefully,
I’ve developed it and made it
interesting’to the general public
here at the College,” he said.
This year was .only the
second year of Rhapsody’s
existence. Prior to that, it was
called Feature Magazine, and
ran once per term as an insert in
The Print. Last year, Thomas A.
Rhodes became the editor of the
magazine and changed the name.
Under Rhodes’ control, it
became a news magazine with a
focus on articles and essays, as
well as some poetry and art.
Lundgren changed the magazine
when he came to the College,
putting the main emphasis on the
arts and literature.
“I think The Print pretty well
covers the news for the campus,”
Lundgren said. “I felt the need
for an outlet for art, and a freer
forum for expression, was
needed.”
Lundgren applied for the
editorship again because, “I have
goals that I want to fulfill,” he
said. “I’ve accomplished some,
but there are still many things I
want to do with the magazine.”
Those goals include im
proving the quality of the
publication, and obtaining a
wider variety of features, he said.
“The magazine is a means
for me,” he said. “It is a means to
develop my own skills. Also, I
think Rhapsody can enhance the
College’s image.’i$j?|
Lundgren has no immediate
plans to change policy for the
magazine, but will strive to
maintain
a
level
of
professionalism. “I’ve found it
hard to have an arts and
literature
magazine,
and
sometimes I doubt that it’s right
for this College. But I still feel its
a good medium,” he said.
Summer employment
available for youths
By J. Dana Haynes
Of The Print
Despite the first hints of an
economic upswing in America,
unemployment is still a factor
with which to contend. This
summer, thousands of young
people will join the stampede for
too few jobs.
To help contend with this
problem, CETA (Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act)-
will once again sponsor a sum
mer Ytfuth Employment
Program.
Jim Larrimer, youth
program coordinator for the
Employment Training and
Business Services Ad
ministration arm of CETA,
predicted a significant rise in the
number of people who find work
through the program over last
year.
“We’ll probably serve 480
youths through this (program),
plus however many through
private employment, which could
be as many as 100,” Larrimer
said. Last year, the Youth Em
ployment Program served ap
proximately 300 people.
The program is designed for
people 14-21 years of age and who
qualify as “disadvantaged
youths,” Larrimer said. A total of
$667,000 has been put aside for the
employment opportunities.
during the three-week period. A
participant may sample up to
three different jobs.
“We’ve had a lot of success
with this and we’re moving more
and more toward job sampling,”
Larrimer said.
If the participant enjoys the
work, and the employer is

plained.
The target jobs-tax credit
division of the program provides
tax assistance to the employers.
CETA will pay 85 percent of the
taxes on the first $3,000 in wages.
This program is for summer
employment only
To qualify for this, CETA
must first certify the eligibility of
the employee. “CETA also does
all the paperwork,” Larrimer
said.
The amount of credit accrued
is subtracted from the business’
taxes at the end of the year. “This
project is very effective because
it is so economical,” Larrimer
said.

The Youth Employment
Program is divided into three
sections, summer work ex
perience, job sampling and
target jobs-tax credit.
The summer work ex
perience is designed to find jobs
for people in public or non-profit
agencies, where they will gain
“work skills and habits,”
Larrimer said. - Clackamas
Community College is one non
profit agency that regularly
employs young people through
the program.
The job sampling division
gives the participants a small
taste of different jobs, to help
them choose a profession. The
employees may work at a job for
up to three weeks at no cost to the
employer. CETA pays the wages

there as well. During the third or
fourth week in May, applicants
will be interviewed, Larrimer
said.
Eligibility for the program
rests on several factors. Par
ticipants must reside in
Clackamas County, be from a
low-income family, and be 14-21
yearsofage.
The program will run from

tember. Larrimer said students
