iMi Discussing spring schedules in the MCC Electronics lab are, from left to right, Edward Meyer, Electronics instructor; Jane Campbell, instructor of Secretarial Science, Margaret Griffith, Music instructor, and Ron Tannehill, instructor of Police Science. New Scheduling Planned For Spring At College ?What can we do to better serve the community?" That attitude is set forth in the policy at McHenry County college as faculty and staff prepare for the spring term. New scheduling and prac­ tices are just part of the picture that includes quality teaching and genuine enthusiasm for their subjects on the part of the instructors. Richard H. Fuhler, associate dean of instruction, reported that the changes in scheduling have been made to convenience prospective students, who might otherwise find it im­ possible to attend classes. "Electronics has only changed in one respect," Fuhler said. "We still offer the same courses and the schedule is basically the same, but the two nights, way the material is presented "In were police officers. Today, the situation has reversed. Now the majority of students are not employed by police depart­ ments. "In Police Science, we are trying two things that are new," said Fuhler. "One is scheduling. In the past, Police Science courses were offered during the day, usually in the morning. Now we will offer courses every evening as well, from 7 to 10 p.m. Our motive in doing this is that it will enable the student to take more courses in the evenings an spend fewer nights here. The student could take the 5 to 7 course, then immediately thereafter go into the 7 to 10 p.m. class. The student could then pick up three courses in has been changed. Now we offer, "hands on" experience. The student actually works with electronic equipment, as opposed to the lecture method." The instructor of electronics is Edward Meyer, a resident of Wonder Lake, who received his training at the University of Illinois, the United States Marine Corps Electronics school and the University of San Francisco. "We have, however, made changes in the scheduling of Music Appreciation," Fuhler continued. "It's been several years since we offered a music appreciation course in the evening. Now we offer such a course on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m. It involves a study of musical literature and the elements of music as they function in various works and in different musical styles. Our instructor of music, Peg Griffith conducts this class." Margaret Griffith is well known throughout Northern Illinois for her many years in choral work. She is a resident of Crystal Lake and is choral director for the Northern Illinois Choral society. She received her Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Michigan and has also done graduate work at Ann Arbor and the American Con­ servatory in Chicago. "We have other schedule changes too," Fuhler went on. "A subject fast growing in popularity here at McHenry college is Police Science. When the college first offered this course the majority of students addition to these new time slots three courses are being made available to the general public, as opposed to courses offered to individuals interested in law enforcement only. One is Juvenile Delinquency - the other Vice and Drugs, and the third is Introduction to Law En­ forcement. These courses were always open to the general public, but the popular belief was that they were only open to police officers or those in­ dividuals interested in majoring in Police Science. "This is not so," Fuhler continued. "For instance, take a course like Juvenile Delinquency. It would be of benefit to any parent, or school teacher. The same is true of vice and drugs. These courses have no prerequisites, they're open to all." The Police Science course is conducted by Ronald L. Tan­ nehill, who was trained at the Wichita, Kansas Police academy and received his B.S. and MS. degrees from Wichita State university. An individual with practical experience in police work, he served as patrolman, dispatcher, detective, corporal and sergeant with the Hutchinson and Wichita Kansas Police departments. Tannehill resides in Crystal Lake with his wife and two children. The fourth area of change was also announced by Dean Fuhler. "This change involves the Specialized Dictation course," he said. "In the past it was only offered during the day. This coming spring it will be scheduled on Thursday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m. This course is for the mature secretarial student who desires to explore shorthand skills in medical, legal, and various technical fields. It also covers dictation and transcription. This time change should be of great benefit to the working secretary who wants to further his or her career." The secret arial course is taught by Jane T. Campbell, a resident of Algonquin. She received her B.S. degree at the University of Missouri and pursued further studies at the University of California at San Diego. Post Service No Longer Delivers Postage Due Mall Postmaster Leroy M. Smith has reminded customers that the United States Postal ser­ vice has discontinued delivering mail on which there is no postage. Postmaster Smith said the new policy was instituted because of the high costs in­ curred by the Postal service in its attempt to deliver such mail. Officials estimate that such costs total approximately $18 million annually. In announcing the new policy last month, Postmaster General E.T. Klassen said, "It is unfair to burden the vast majority of mailers with costs created by the few who mail without prepayment of postage". Letters mailed without postage are being returned to sender if there is a return address, or to the dead letter office, instead of being delivered to the address as postage due mail as has been the custom. Postal officials will attempt to find the sender of unpaid mail and return it for a slight fee, if there is no return address. "Naturally we realize that someone could inadvertently forget to put a stamp on a letter or that a stamp could come off prior to cancellation, so we urge mailers to be sure to in­ clude a correct return address on their mail", Postmaster Smith said. | VA NEWS | " Deaths of 355,000 veterans during fiscal year 1974 - 206,000 with World War II service - has prompted the Veterans ad­ ministration to encourage twenty-nine million living veterans to make certain their dependents are aware of the »death benefits to which they may be entitled. The FY 1974 death total was 30,000 more than the previous year and 58,000 higher than the 397,000 veterans' deaths recorded in FY 1970. The \yorld War 1 veteran population was decreased by almost 10 per cent with the deaths of 106,000 veterans. Veterans families should be informed of survivor's benefits, such as dependency and in­ demnity compensation for service-connected death or nonservice-connected death pensions for widows. The latter may apply only to surviving children if the widow's income makes her ineligible for VA pension benefits. Burial benefits for wartime and certain peacetime veterans include a maximum $250 burial or cremation allowance, plus a plot allowance not exceeding $150 for veterans buried outside national cemeteries. In lieu of these benefits, there is an $800 burial allowance for veterans who die of service-connected disabilities. Cremated remains presently SECTION 2-PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER - WED.

Problems with school, children, marriage; problems with drugs or alcohol. Just trying to survive. It seems to leave so little time for doing those positive things you'd really like to do with your life. So little time--and so little opportunity, it seems -- for building a life. The mental health field is not concerned solely with people suffering from psychotic illness or other severe mental disturb­ ances. Mental health workers spend much of their time help­ ing perfectly normal people with family or personal prob­ lems that threaten to overwhelm them. Or problems which, at least, prevent people from develop­ ing their full potential. An important source of help in many areas across the Na­ tion is the community mental health center. One of the re­ quirements to qualify these centers for Federal funding sup­ port has been that they provide mental health consultation and education to community agen­ cies and individual leaders. This service plays an important role in preventive mental health. Preventive mental health in­ cludes helping normal, average people--people with problems. And the mental health centers and similar agencies reach them indirectly through educa­ tional activities with schools, clergy, and physicians and with police, welfare, and other com­ munity agencies. Hopefully, preventive mental health on su heading off vidual and before they happen.

" For And About Teenagers DON'T VOU TRUST ME? THIS WEEK'S LETTER: I read your column every week and I decided to write you. I'm a boy who is 14 years old and I like to be with my friends. My parents think I stay out too late. I come in about 9:45, they want me home at 9:30 I can understand that my parents worry about me but every time the subject comes up we get in an argument -- it seems that they don't trust me. They say I've got to be 16 before I can stay out later. I'd like to stay out until 10 or so If I can't get my parents to trust me now I don't have a chance when I'm 16. What should I do' OUR REPLY: You've got to ac­ cept the fact that there are rules in your house. One of them says you're to be in by 9:30. Yet you won't come home until 9:49. Sure­ ly you understand that your par­ ents are not going to let you stay out longer until you've proven that you can get home on time under the present arrangements. The point is you've got to accept the responsibility of obeying the rules. Once you've done that, your folks will more than likely change them so as to recognize that you are responsible and de­ pendable enough to stay out later. For now, get in at 9:30. Prove to them that you are willing to abide by the rules they've set up. Then maybe they'll loosen up a bit so you can be out with your friends.
