And with a reduction in their budget for fiscal year 1982, that cuts it in half from 3 million to 1 .6 million, they will "be targeting those who really want to be helped. Randall Clark, Chair man of the, Durham CETA Advisory Council, called the council's last" meeting of the year to order on Tuesday, June 2. The next time they will gather together will be September 1. - Carl Chelette gave the ' youth committee report " and said that there were 320 slots available to date, 101 of which people are already enrolled for, leav ing 219 actual openings. Chelette responded to a question from committee member, Tom Andrews, by saying that last summer 1300 people applied for 360 positions, and that this year a 3 to 1 ratio is also expected. 250 of that 1300 were ineligible. In the planning commit tee report by Mike McKin ney, the purpose of CETA, recommended training, and priority groups were outlined for fiscal year 1982. The pur pose of CETA did not change, but the public ser vice employment sector will not be a part of next year. Under recommend ed training, 464,262 is budgeted, with 100,000 of that being used for in structional cost. This cost has gone up with CETA's need of more counseling. McKinney reported that the priority groups for, 1982 will be School Dropouts 40, Adult Welfare Recipients 35, Unemployed for three months or more 30, Youth (under 22) 25, Handicapped 15, and Veterans 10. Single parents will not be a priority for next year, but can qualify under one of the above classifications. -This was a major concrn "because of the number of teenage single parents. Jack Stone, Deputy Director said, "Approximately 298,000 remains in this year's budget that ends in Oc tober, and will be used to finance the summer pro gram that will begin on June 15. For next year's budget, I am optomistic of getting 1.6 million." For the second quarter, CETA served 692 in dividuals, 452 who are still enrolled, with 92 having excellent results and 30 who received their GED. 82 entered employment, 53 left the program, and 14 completed but did not j find employment. Stone said, "You have to stick with the program. You see that if you complete the program you have an almost certain chance of employment." Council members believed that the counsel ing was a necessary solu tion to. completion, and perhaps the biggest pro blem could be solved by transportation.
