Thursday, September 19* 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER COMMUNITY COLLEGE MOVEMENT MAKES BIG STRIDES IN TWO YEARS With interest in the future of a junior college forMcHenry county running high, the Plaindealer will print a series of articles explaining progress to this point. The facts are contained in a survey which will be presented to the McHenry County Community college committee at a public meeting scheduled-for Sept. 23. This is the first article relating to the survey. The story of McHenry County's Community college movement begins in 1961. That year, some of the county's school administrators took action on a suggestion by the State Department of Public Instruction that McHenry county should be> considered as the location of a future community college. McHenry county, it was pointed out, with its population of 80,000, assessed valuation of $400,000,000 and population growth rate which was the third highest in the state, far exceeded the state's legal requirements for the establishment of a community college. Last year, in March, three school officials -- Superintendents Paul Tigard of Alden-Hebron and John Buckner of Crystal Lake, and County Superintendent Richard Tazewell met with a citizens' group to organize a survey committee. The committee's purpose would be two-fold -- to determine whether a community college was needed in the county and whether it could be supported by the communities within the county. Secure Consultants The committee entered into negotiations with 3 representative of Northern Illinois University's Educational Administration center and the services of a team of NIU consultants was contracted for in February, 1963. Members of the consulting team and the subcommittees each worked with are: Dr. William Ogilvie, consultant to the curriculum committee; Dr. Ralph Belnap, building and sites; Dr. Walter Reusser, population; Dr. Robert Gourley, finance; Dr. William Froom and Donald Peterson, public relations. First meeting of the consulting team with the citizens' committee was on Feb. 19, 1963. With Chairman Slack presiding, the committee structure was reorganized, consultants were assigned according to their specialties and the citizen's group was oriented for the task ahead. At the February meeting, the committee made an important decision -- if the study should support the feasibility of establishing a community college, the committee would plan for one which the county could be proud of. This could be accomplished, they felt, by borrowing the best from existing two-year colleges and fitting them to the needs of McHenry county residents and the requirements of the state. By this time, seven of the county's districts were supporting the committee's work, and more than forty civicminded volunteers from each district made up the membership of the committee. School districts represented were the Alden-Hebron, Crystal Lake District 155, Harvard Marengo, McHenry, Richmond- Burton, and Woodstock Districts. Committee Is Active The next five months were a period of intensive activity for the committee members. The twice-monthly meetings of the citizens group at the Woodstock high school usually began with a meeting of the steering committee, followed by a general meeting and then meetings of the various subcommittees. The work also required much activity outside of committee meetings -- members inspected possible sites throu~hc?Jt the rntrntv, vfrifrtf community college plants, made a thorough study of county and school district finances, analyzed college catalogs, and conducted surveys. By June 24, preliminary drafts of committee reports and recommendations were submitted and discussed and arrangements made for final revisions and editing of the report. What , will the completed report contain? The first of seven chapters presents background information of the community college, how it developed, its purposes, and its place in American higher education. Survey Of Adults Chapter 2, the work of the population committee, includes the findings and analysis of a survey of the McHenry county adult residents and enrollment projections for a community college based on information obtained by the population andcurriculum sub-committees. To determine the post highschool educational needs of students in the county, the curriculum group surveyed juniors and seniors and the county's high school graduates from 1958-62. Results of this study are presented in Chapter 3 and the committee's proposals for the curriculum of the prospective community college in Chapter 4. Chaptef 5 contains the recommendations of thebuilding and site sub-committee. Financial considerations related to the establishment and maintenance of the community college are presented by the finance sub-committee in Chapter 6. In the final chapter are presented by the finance subcommittee in Chapter 6. In the final chapter are summarized significant findings of the study and an outline of the steps to be taken for the establishment of a community college. j SIX LICENSES ARE SUSPENDED; PERMITS ISSUED The driver's license division of the office of Secretary of State Charles F.

First to speak on this fine program was Dean Hargis, varsity football coach, at McHenry high school. He outlined the strengths and weaknesses of this year's team and said that it would surprise a lot of people in the conference. According to coach Hargis, the starting lineup will have a line which averages 206 lbs. and consists of all good size men. The' backfield will average considerably less but are very fast and have a good deal of experience. The coach also talked at considerable lenghth about the use of much improved equipment now being used by high school players in order to cut down on injuries and make the game safer to play. Included in the list of better and new equipment are face masks, mouth pieces, rib pads, foam rubber padding and improved helmets. The varsity has ten returning lettermen on the squad from last year and two were present at the meeting. They were Bill Funk, quarterback, and Ron Kreutzer, guard. The other speaker was Ron Irvin, a resident of Australia and in this country currently to study dairy farming here. Mr. Irvin was very interested in this country and was most interested in our way of life. He spent about a week in the McHenry area with members of the McHenry Rotary club and left here last Tuesday. The district institute held in the LaGrange Y.M.C.A. last Friday was well attended. Fiftysix of the fifty-nine clubs in the district were represented by over 300 members. The theme "Raise Your Sights In Rotary," which was used in all the programs, explained President Carl Miller's plan, "Meeting Rotary's Challenge in the Space Age." It is an International Program designed to influence understanding and good-will among people of the world, and thus to help create friendly, just and peaceful relations among nations. Here is how the program works. Our district No. 644, and each of 270 other Rotary districts around the world has been "paired up" with another Rotary district in another part of the world. Our district is paired with District 455-Brazil which has forty-four clubs and 1309 members. Working on the club-to-club basis, Crystal Lake and McHenry Rotary clubs are paired with the state of Sergipe, Propria, Colegio and Alagoas Brazil Rotary club. All correspondence, letters, tapes etc., sent by us will be in English, all sent by our correspondents will be in Portuguese. Arrangements have been made to have all mail or any correspondence interpreted, if necessary. Tom Gause, whom many members will remember as appearing before the local club last year, contributed much time and effort on this program while traveling in Brazil recently as a member of an extension committee for the University of Wisconsin.
