College Take Charge program successful By Fritz Wenzel Of The Print Over 475 people attended the Take Charge employment seminar last Saturday at Clackamas Community Col lege. The seminar was design ed to educate and motivate people who are either unemployed or under employed, or unhappy in the work they now are doing.

The spread of careers represented ranged from the Portland Bureau of Water Works to Allstate Insurance to various high-tech companies. The career market helped to create a total package of infor mation for those attending, and the response was so good that Marv Thornley of the Clackamas Career Develop ment center says another seminar is very likely. The seminar had workshop sessions in the four areas of finding the right job for you, analyzing career trends, self employment and living on less money; A special feature at the seminar was the presentation by Oregon State Labor Infor mation Program Director Tom Lynch, who provided an expert analysis of where the jobs of the future are going to be. His presentation was realistic and up-to-date as he described the impact of the loss of timber industry jobs and the influx of the high-tech field. Take Charge was sponsored jointly by U.S. Bank of Oregon and Clackamas Com munity College. Admission was free and included lunch. LISTEN TO THIS There IS an alternative to compulsory - military , service. If you have moral, i ethical, or religious objections to participation in any war or military x training, you can be a conscientious objector. One can be a CO regardless of one’s religion: an agnostic or atheist can make a CO claim based on deeply held, personal beliefs. The Central Com mittee for Conscientious Objectors is an organization engaged in a nation-wide effort to inform people about Conscien tious objection and re lated peace issues. We are also registering conscientious objectors with our CO card. This card simply states: “Because of my beliefs about war, I am opposed to partici pation in the military” Should the draft be reinstated, and this is becoming increasingly likely, a CO card could provide important documentation of your status as an objector.
