• Thursday November 21, 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER College Group Lists Preference For Separation. Of Facilities (This is the seventh in a series of articles dealing with the proposed McHenry County Community College. The article was prepared by the McHenry County Community College which recently presented its report on the feasibility of (establishing a two-year college in the county.) Why not use existing high school or other facilities for thfe proposed McHenry County junior college? This question is being heard with increasing frequency as the time draws near for the Dec. 14 referendum on whether a McHenry County Junior College district' should be established. The district would have the power to levy a maximum property tax of .09 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for educational purposes and .05 cents for building purposes.' T&e principal advantages of using existing facilities is readily apparent. If, for example, space in a high school or other property could be rented or leased for junior college instruction, it would not be necessary to go to the expense of building a new physical plant. How would such a plan work for a community college program such as the one recommended by the McHenry County Community College Con> mittee? The curriculum proposed in the committee's report calls for a two-year college parallel program with courses in English, literature, social sciences, mathematics, physical and biological sciences, the humanities, and business. Terminal Technical and vocational type programs are recommended in such areas as commercial, aulo technology, home management, industrial technology and in agriculture. Since most high schools close at about 4 p.m., courses requiring only ordinary classroom space (such as English, history, literature) would have eafiy access to classroom facilities unless the high school teachers want to use the rooms for late work or student conferences. Since additional staff would be required to teach the majority of the junior college courses, existing high school faculty offices would need to be expanded to provide separate office facilities and record storage'.. Existing gymnasium facilmfes could be used for a juniof4"college physical education program although additional locker space would be required. Rehearsal rooms for band and chorus could be used with perhaps some additional storage space being required. However the music and gym facilities cannot be used if the high school needs them for * extracurricular activities. Library facilities, if shared, would have to be expanded and the number of volumes increased to take care of the more advanced subject matter areas and the technical courses. A librarian would be hired to run the library. Science laboratories and the use of equipment might be shared on a rental basis although the college-level courses needed if the junior college is to offer the technical-vocational instruction which the survey indicated was desirable. Building these facilities would be expensive and would represent a sizeable expenditure for a make-shift operation. Some of the problems of using high school facilities for junior college instruction are illustrated by the situation at Freeport Community college where the school is administered within an existing high school district. Started ^n 1961, the college is supported at present only by a tax leVy for educational purposes. So far, it has been able to borro\y4ieavily from high school funds to establish a library ana to increase laboratory facilities not provided for by the educational levy. y The -college at Freeport rewould require the' purchase of- -cently established a Foundation additional laboratory equipment and provision made for storage. Laboratory and workshop areas for proposed courses such as electronics, welding, automobile and diesel mechanics would need to be provided for if adequate high school facilities were not available. With this alternative as a possibility, why did the Junior College Committee in its report recommend a separate campus and new facilities for the proposed McHenry County Community College? The Committee's reasons can be summed up as follows: 1. If high school facilities are used, the junior college would almost certainly have to be limited to an evening program. Furthermore, the junior college cannot use rooms which a high school might need for adult education or extracurricular activities. Also, if these activities in a high school expand, the junior college area must be moved. 2. The Committee feels that restricting the two-year college to an evening program would result in a sub-standard program which would have little appeal to McHenry county residents. The committee recommendation proposes a new physical plant on a separate campus and a sound daytime and evening curriculum which would enable a school of 500 to 1,000 students to get a good start and stay on a professional level. 3. It is doubtful that existing high school shop facilities would be adequate for a technical education program. This means that a technical education building would still be to raise money which will some day permit them to have their own campus and physical plant to free them from some of the restrictions resulting from physical association with a high school. The referendum which McHenry county voters will vote on Dec. 14 would permit, in addition to a tax levy for educational purposes, a tax of up to .05 cents for building purposes. This provision of the referendum would permit a board of education for the proposed Junior College district to take steps to establish adequate classroom and laboratory facilities for a sound program of junior college instruction. REVOKE LICENSE, SUSPEND OTHERS IN McHENRY AREA Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier has announced the revocation of the driver license of Olaf N. Bakkan of Crystal Lake . by the Drivers' License division of his office, for driving while intoxicated. Suspensions were ordered for Louis F Buix of Algonquin and Michael L. Harwood of Crystal Lake for three violations; Bernardo G. Mata of Union for violating a restriction on license or contributing to an accident resulting in death or injury. Probatinary permits were issued to Walter E. Roy of 1901 Indian Ridge, McHenry, and Raymond C. Wenk of 7617 Beach drive, Wonder Lake. READ THE CLASSIFIEDS McHenry Hospital Auxiliary News On Tuesday, Nov. 12, the regular monthly board meeting of the women's auxiliary to McHenry hospital was held in the conference room of the hospital. Mrs. William Strout of Crystal Lake, president, presided. Reports were given by Mrs. Henry Tonyan of McHenry, Mrs. Fred Fradinardo of Lilymoor and Mrs. William Strout on the seminars they attended at the state convention of hospital auxiliaries held Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at the Pick-Congress hotel in Chicago. Mrs. Peter Griesbach of McHenry, chairman of the candy striper program at McHenry Hospital, reported on the training course for candy stripers which was held in October. Thirty-five young ladies enrolled in the program, "there are now forty-seven high school girls working as candy stripers in the hospital. They are performing a much needed service in a highly competent manner. Mrs. Carl Mitchell of Woodstock, chairman of the memorial and remembrance fund, reported on her committee which continues to be a popular way to remember someone with a thoughtful gift. The scholarship fund, under the direction of Mrs. Walter Carlson of McHenry, is also an exceptionally fine way in which to remember a friend or loved one. Many occasions arise when one may wish to show appreciation and esteem to the living. It is also a way to honor the memory of someone deceased. In addition, many individuals benefit as a result of this generosity since these funds are used to purchase equipment which the women's auxiliary donates to the hospital and to sponsor scholarships for the deserving young people who are studying for one of the health professions.
