(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.

times the projects dictate which skills are utilized,
Wood said.
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. Orr said he enjoys
working at the youth center and likes his co-workers.

Veal protest
Trans-Species Unlimited, a local animal rights group, picketed outside Burger King
restaurant, 521 University Drive, Saturday protesting the chain’s recent national
advertising campaign promoting veal sandwiches. The group believes that veal calf
production is the cruelest of factory farm practices and wants Burger King to remove
the sandwich from its menu. Burger King regional supervisor Tim Auvil said the
group had a right to protest, but that veal sandwiches would remain and still be sold.

By JENNY CLOUSE
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
When asked what Christmas meant
to him, Jeff Kersavage replied,
“Christmas is a time for giving and
sharing that’s What Christmas is all
about.”
Jeff is one of many handicapped and
disabled people from the Centre Coun
ty area Whose holiday season was
brightened a little bit by several fra
ternities and sororities.
This past weekend, three fraternities
and one sorority held Christmas par
ties for special groups of citizens from
around the area.
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, along
with the friends of Lambda Chi Alpha,
conducted holiday festivities'on Satur
day afternoon for a group of 35 hand
icapped children from the Easter Seals
Society of State College.
The children were treated to food,
entertained by a clown-magician,
shown holiday movies and, of course,
visited by Santa Claus, who carried
plenty of gifts for his guests.
