PAGE 18-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1973 AMERICANS ABROAD STUDENT WILL STUDY IN NETHERLANDS (Continued trom page 1) scholarships are awaftled to MCHS students who qualify as capable, mature, responsible persons and show an aptitude for languages Scholarships are awarded annually by McHenry's chapter of American Field Service "MCC SUMMER ENROLLMENT ON SHARP RISE (Continued from page 1) does not want to^be trapped by any pressure groups into making immediate decisions. The original idea of an open session was brought to the board's attention by Trustee Herbert Lutter. He mentioned that at the May meeting, certain people in the audience regrettably didn't have an opportunity to talk He felt that since it is a public meeting, residents of the district should be given the opportunity to bring things to the board's attention. It was noted that personnel problems or administration matters dealing with the operatiopt)f the school are not proper ̂ matters to be presented before the board. Board Member Gerald Smith, chairman of the Negotiating committee, stated that 1 :s group had met with the Faculty association and offered members an increase in salary and benefits of 3.6 percent. The Faculty association felt this was inadequate and requested a 6.4 percent increase. The committee is now preparing what is anticipated to be a final offer and will present it to the Faculty association at its next meeting July 10. Davis reported that, "We are, $85,000 over-budgeted on construction at this point." This is due to the inflation factor, he emphasized. The Capital Development board (CDB) indicated this figure could be handled. The construction would be put to bid before the end of July. When advertising for bids begins, the state wants the district's share of the money which is approximately $1,027,000. From now on, the state will handle all payments. The board also accepted the tentative budget for the 1973-74 fiscal year and ordered that it be placed out for public in­ spection until the regular August meeting. The problem in presenting a tentative budget this early, Davis said, stems from the fact that there are several things which are still uncertain and will necessitate a change before the final budget is adopted. In terms of revenue, these involve at least the matter of state resources which have not yet been resolved by the state Legislature. Also, the $5,000 library grant approved by the federal government last week has not been anticipated in this preliminary budget. In terms of expenditures, the salary increases for all per­ sonnel have not been reflected; neither have the adjustments to the allocations for monies for summer school once enrollment patterns are known. The following bids were approved: Learning Research center equipment, $1,947.54; Physics equipment, $7,523.21; Earth Science equipment, $1,229.24; Office equipment, $1,758.49; Sewing equipment, $574; Secretarial equipment, $7,412.30; Air conditioner, $145; Welding equipment, $948.71; A u t o m o t i v e e q u i p m e n t , $3,963.90; Athletic supplies, $843.55; Athletic equipment, $1,229; Paper Shredder, ^181; and Agriculture equipment, $300. Ron Goss, a member of the Graphic Arts advisory com­ mittee, appeared before the board and reported on the ambitious plans being made for that department. He presented facts substantiating the need for a plate maker in the Graphic Arts department. After listening to Goss' presentation on the need for the type of training and education in this growing field, the board agreed to put out bids on equipment for this department. The board authorized Dr. Davis to sign an agreement with Commonwealth Edison company ,for the electric ser­ vice agreement and electric service locations at the new campus. The electric service contract specifies the use of electric power up to but not exceeding 1,460 kilowatts of maximum demand. The Electric Service station agreement specifies the locations of three meters: At the Main hall, the Applied Science building and the pump house. E.W. Hafner, of the Power Sales department of Com­ monwealth Edison, advised that provision of underground service to the three meter points in the college complex will cost $9,499 and will be in­ cluded in the bids of the elec­ trical contractors and paid by the successful bidder. Dr. Davis mentioned that during this summer session, the Continuing Education program (formerly known as "Non-Credit^i^iieing offered in seven locations throughout This Tuesday and every Tuesday is Coney Day at the A&W Res­ taurant. Buy one or buy a bunch. They're only 15<£ each. 15c every tuesday C e u 2214 WEST ROUTE 120 McHENRY, III. the county. There are 215 people involved in this program which generates 241.5 credit hours. The locations are Alden- Hebron high school, Marengo Community high, Northwood Junior high, Richmond-Burton high, Woodstock high, St. John's Lutheran church- Woodstock and McHenry County college^ The program is run under the direction of Pete Stuckey, Office of Community Services. In other action, the board a p p r o v e d n i n e t e e n chargebacks and denied three. In order to encourage the public to take an interest in college affairs, the board voted to hold its monthly meetings in various towns in the district every other month. Therefore, the July meeting will be held in McHenry at the West campus cafeteria on July 26 at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) maybe it's time for the real thing -- tickets. We will continue to speak out for similar action as it pertains to all those bike riders who fail to stop at signs. Instruction classes are not the answer. Almost every bicycle owner of school age has been instructed through special talks given by police officers. These young people know what is right and the large percentage know that state law requires them to follow the same rules as drivers of cars. T^en it hardly seems fair to the youngsters to let them get away with cheating on the rules. In a few years, what will stop them from thinking they can drive a car the same way -- or steal -- or take drugs? The double standard is something tfthat just doesn't make sense! If it's a question of money that prevents a real crackdown on bike riders, how about spending some Revenue Sharing funds for this purpose? Certainly the government must include safety in its broad category of uses allowed. K.A.F. ARREST PATRON OF RESTAURENT AFTER INCIDENT (Continued trom page 1) restaurant and deputies were summoned. He became more cooperative with their arrival and was permitted to finish his meal. However, when deputies left, he became belligerent and refused to pay his bill. He finally made payment and was advised not to drive his ajuto because of his intoxicated condition. However, as he left the restaurant, he was ob­ served driving on the highway in the wrong lane, resulting in his arrest. __ The majority of people, when ~ asked their idea of valuable human traits, list kindness or thoughtfulness first. •] Congress seems to think the solution to all problems is to spend some more of OUR money.

The McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals presented several recommendations at the meeting. Regarding the request by *Lee Marshall, Theodore and Irene McNish and Sam and Beulah Basan that two lots at 5206 W. Route 120 be reclassified from R-l to B-l. The ZBA submitted the following statement: "It is the opinion of the board that because of the location of subject property 61ong Route 120 and the obvious effect in­ creasing traffic will have on all property fronting on highway 120, that R-l classification is no longer suitable." They recommended that the property be reclassified from R-l to B-l. The property is located on the north side of 120 and the east side of Park lane. The Council moved to accept the ZBA's recommendation. The ZBA also presented this statement: "It is further suggested by the board that the City Council seriously consider the prospect of reclassifying all property along 120 and bring it into a more compatible classification in view of in­ creased traffic; ingress and egress into these properties should be limited thus preventing any serious traffic blockage along the highway." Alderman George Harker suggested this recom­ mendation be referred to the Plan Commission for study. It was so ordered by the Mayor. Serving on the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals are Richard J. Zieman, chairman; Charles M. Adams, Paul Fidler, Frederick Lamb, A1 Mapes, Clarence Niesen and H.C. Reihansperger. The Council also accepted the Zoning board's recom­ mendation that various lots be reclassified as requested by the city to meet McHenry zoning ordinances. Three other board recommendations were held over for further discussion and study. Alderman Ed Datz,* chair­ man of the Plan commission, informed the Council that a public hearing will be held Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the West campus auditorium. The comprehensive plan will be submitted for interested per­ sons to look at and talk about with Plan commission mem­ bers. Members of the Plan com­ mission are David Benrud, Dr a Bennet Berman, Gerald Bunting, Lee J. Cooney, George Haasl, George Harker, Warren Kuhlman, Ronald Meurer and Donald Toole. Council members agreed to accept Blue Cross insurance for city employees at a cost of $1,113.95 per month. In order to assure that new street lights will be available fbr installation as soon as the road is ready, Supt. Meyer asked that the Council approve the installation of twenty-two new street lights along 120. The Council agreed and said if several more lights were needed to complete the job, Meyer had authorization to purchase more. Tbe lights will be installed on service poles by use of long brackets. They will start just west of the tracks and continue to Ringwood road. Eight lights will be removed, seven will stay and twenty-two new lights will be added. When a question arose as to whether Crystal Lake road from Route 120 to Hanley avenue was a two or four-lane road, Mayor Stanek referred the matter to the Streets and Sidewalks committee. They will make a study and come back with a recommendation. If designated a four-lane road, parking will not be permitted in the outside lanes as is now done. Lloyd Wagner of Lakeland Park appeared before the Council and asked what the aldermen planned to do to prevent a re-occurrence of the fireworks explosion which occurred June 9. He was in­ formed the Council had voted at a previous meeting to ask the County board that zoning or building permits not be issued to any firm involved in any way with explosives. , Wagner also asked when the parkways in Lakeland Park subdivision would be fixed up by the construction con­ tractors. Alderman Jerry ..^gers replied that they were not yet in that stage. The contractors did agree to take care of the parkways when they start to restore other areas. Alderman Bill Bolger reported that the Library board had held a very successful meeting prior to the City Council meeting regarding the possibility of library expansion. The Council then went into executive session to discuss possible land acquisition. When it reconvened, it was reported no action had been taken. The next meeting will be held July 16 at 8 p.m. in the city hall. Doctoral Degree To Johnsburg's Superintendent DR. DUANE ANDREAS Johnsburg School Supt.
