(bounty youths receive basic skills training TRACY EDWARDS Collegian Staff Writer Respite the Reagan Administration’s cutbacks in y<thth training programs, a local group of 13 young men, age 16 to 21, are receiving training as well as actual wqrk experience as part of the Comprehensive Employ ment Training Act, Program Coordinator Bruce Ellis s&ld. these county youths are being trained under a federal program at the Centre County Youth Training Center near Milesburg. The participants learn four basic skills thsre: carpentry, masonry, plumbing and electronics. Youths can participate in the program for about six mfinths, Ellis said. They receive minimum wage and work about 35 hours a week, he said. I* The program, which began in April, has worked out vttell so far, Ellis said. Some of the youths have been pjaced in jobs as a result of the training program. 'On-the-job training enables the participants to know wHat to expect when they begin looking for a permanent job, Ellis said. 6ne participant, Glenn Benner, 17, Bellefonte, said Also, Jennifer Gould, RHAB represen tative, added, “A lot of people don’t like the casserole; they don’t feel that they’re right for lunch.” However, casseroles will be moved to the dinner menu to appease those who do like them. “They’ll be pleasing more of the stu dents with this,” Bronk said. The new lunch menu was proposed Spring Term 1981 by 1 Food Services and will be implemented this spring, Curley said. “Soups, salads and sandwiches has been a coming trend. It’s one of those things that has evolved,” Curley said. the training he is receiving will help him get a permanent job later. ' . “I went for job interviews before and they always asked for experience,” he said. Benner said he enjoys masonry the most and would like to get a permanent job in the field. Ellis said a maximum of 15 young men who are not in school can participate in the program. After determining the youths’ eligibility, he said he interviews them to find out their interests and then chooses the participants, according to the number of available positions. “We work on their work attitudes and habits,” Ellis said. He said working op the youths’ attitudes and habits is as important as the actual skills training. John Woods, training instructor-coordinator for the ' program, agreed and said instructors stress neatness and safety. “What we try to impress upon these young fellows is good work habits,” he said. The youths learn a wide variety of skills and some Food Service officials determine the popularity of food items by counting how quickly specific food items are distrib uted during meals. The RHAB council then concludes which foods eaten the most to provide a menu that students will like, Bronk said. Cold cuts will not comprise the entire luncheon selection, Curley said. Included in the lunch menu will be hamburgers, hot dogs, and meatball and steak sand wiches. Also, more than one sandwich type will be offered, every meal, Curley added. “The change in menu seems more functional to me,” Bronk said. “Our goal in this is for people to come and get interested and motivated to come to our smoking clinic or to stop smoking on their own,” Yood said. Throughout the year, the society spon sors many “I Quit Smoking” clinics, she said. The groups usually are composed of eight to 15 people, she said, and anyone in the county can join. The clinic involves four two-hour sessions. Elaine Young, director of the clinics, said she tries to help the smokers under stand why they smoke. She then encour ages them to replace smoking with some other activity. “A lot of people come looking for an easy way out,” she said. “There are no gimmicks. It’s all up to them.”- The next clinic will be organized after Jan. 1, she said. The society has a number of programs available that it presents to clubs and organizations upon request.

' Leslie Cappelli (3rd-business adminis tration) is not happy about the removal of casseroles from the lunch menu. “They should keep them at lunch,” she said. “Sometimes a sandwich just is not enough at lunch.” However, other students say they are pleased with the menu change.

This program, directed toward people older than 40, includes a film and slides, Yood said. Also, those who attend are given material and instructions on how to perform a simple test for cancer which can then be mailed to the hospital for analysis. As is the difficulty in many cancer cases, problems are sometimes discov ered after it is too late. • Charles Herman, 1618 Hawthorne Drive, told the State College Police De partment on Sunday that a 15-foot blue spruce tree was missing from his back yard.

The participants work both at the center, located on Route 220 north of Milesburg, and on job sites, Wood said. But much of the work is done at the sites of the projects they do, he said. The group recently completed a sculpture garden, which employed masonry skills, at Talleyrand Park in Bellefonte, Wood spid. The students also made picnic tables and benches for the State College Children’s House on Beaver Avenue. “Most of the work revolves around the projects we get in the community,” Wood said. One of the group’s recent projects was at Second Mile, a home for boys near Toftrees in State College, Wood said. Brian Orr, 19, Bellefonte, participated in the Second Mile project. He said they used mostly carpentry skills in that project. Orr, who recently got out of the U.S. Army, said he would like a career in construction.

'There's nothing better to see at Christmas than a smile on a little kids face.' Kevin McElfigott, Sigma Nu fraternity member “A philanthropy doesn’t necessarily have to be a money-raiser,” Bob Mi lone said. “Sometimes it’s better to just let the kids have a good time.” John Connell, vice president of Lambda Chi Alpha and coordinator of the event, said, “The main thing I wanted to do is make sure the kids had a lot of attention. “I think that what we intended to do that is, show them a good time Your phone made people realize that we have a lot of positive things to do for the public.” Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and Phi Mu sorority combined efforts to hold a special Christmas party on Sunday night for the Association of Retarded ‘Citizens. The Nittany Lion signed autographs for some guests, while others danced or mingled. Santa presented gifts to the guests made by members of Phi Mu.
