Dykes said the purpose of the
CETA program is to train the
students and “indirectly place
them in permanent, unsubsidized
employment.”

professionals, to assure the maxi-
mum utilization of college facilities,
“to support the development of a
nursing program in Temple,” to
maintain a strong academic and
vocational program and to be
responsive to the needs of the
community.
“The paramount issues are the
auto-mechanics school, the nursing
school, and whether or not there
are enough dollars for these pro-
grams,” Barnes said.
Barnes said we need to focus on a
strong academic base and maintain
a good balance of academic and
vocational classes.
Bachus said “I believe we need
to be very careful not to overextend
what our appetite and what our
eyes may perceive now and be
faced with programs that will be
underpopulated and, perhaps,
overstaffed and over-facilitied.”
Bachus said the trustees should
consider the students’ require-
ments for transfer to senior college
and employment in the local job
market.
“TJC’s strong points are an
excellent faculty and school body,”
Bachus said.
F Trustee candidate Wayne Bachus
told a crowd of 90 he would
emphasize development of current
strengths at TJC. His opponent
Karen Barnes said the main
question facing the college will be
expansion of the auto-mechanics
and nursing programs.
Bachus and Barnes are running
for Place 6 on the TJC Board of
Trustees, from which Dr. H. H.
Brindley is retiring.
The Temple League of Women
Voters sponsored a March 26 forum
of candidates for the TJC Board,
Temple School Board, and Temple
City Commission in the Backstage
Theater.
Bachus, 33, is a lawyer. A native
of Temple, he attended TJC from
1964 to 1966.
Barnes, 39, has been a teacher
and educational administrator for
12 years.
‘ ‘I have the desire and interest in
serving TJC, its faculty, students
and patrons,” Barnes said.
Barnes said her goals are to
support and pay the faculty as
CETA paid for the students’
uniforms, tuition, books and
weekly training allowance of $124
per week while in school.

Dykes checks with hospitals and
informs the students of available
jobs. The students then pick which
jobs they want to apply for.
To be accepted in a CETA
program, one must qualify as
“economically disadvantaged.” The
applicant must be either
unemployed or working part time
and looking for a full-time job.
“Hopefully, federal funding will
always be available in order to
allow the continuing operation of
CETA at TJC,” Dykes said.

The 16 Vocational Nursing
students graduating in February
through the funding of the
Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act (CETA) were all
working within a week of
graduation, according to Angie
Dykes, CETA co-ordinator.
Dykes said, “The majority of
them are employed at Scott and
White. Others are employed in
nursing homes in Temple,
Lampasas, Rockdale and Gatesville
and a hospital in Cameron.”
The class is the largest CETA-
sposored class yet. Nine graduated
in August 1979, and six graduated
in February 1979.
They will take their State
Nursing Board exam April 15.
The Vocational Nursing
Program runs two 12-month
sessions, one beginning in
February and the other in August.
“It’s one of the most difficult
programs at TJC, and yet they
managed to complete all the
requirements for the certificate in
Vocational Nursing, which makes
them eligible to take the State
Board exam for licensing,” Dykes
said.
Frankie Matyastik was
president of the class and highest
honor graduate. Kathy Daniel was
an honor graduate.
