VOLUME 99 NUMBER 83 WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1975 24 PAGES & 2 SUPPLEMENTS 15* Construction Progress On New College Site Reviewed The McHenry County college board of trustees held a special meeting Thursday night to review construction progress at the new site, study equipment needs and discuss tentative plans for locally funded projects. Immediately preceding the meeting, MCC college president, Dr. James R. Davis, and college vice-president, John Garrett, guided the board and members of the press on a tour of the new site. Garrett reported that con­ struction on the Applied Science building was progressing on schedule and that barring a strike, the Aug. 15 deadline for occupancy of the building will be met. He also indicated that 85 percent of the steel has been erected on the Main hall building, the sewer has been connected at both ends, the reservoir was being filled with water and the parking lots have been graded and, with the exception of asphalt, are complete. Robert Bartelett, dean of instruction, informed the board on equipment needs to be purchased for the Applied Science building. He said that necessary equipment for the automotive, welding and agriculture programs, as well as items for general classrooms, will run ap­ proximately $50,000. Dr. Davis asked the board to consider the possibility of building a greenhouse and a gymnasium as soon as possible from local funds. These funds would be credit by the state in four or five years. The board will discuss these issues at the May 22 board meeting. Tom Amettis of Richmond was elected by the MCC student body to his second term as student representative to the board of trustees. Don Kainz of Crystal Lake will serve as alternate. Both students will be sworn into office at the June 26 board meeting. Dr. Davis also reported that the Capping ceremony for MCC's first graduating class was scheduled at Elgin Com­ munity college Sunday, May 18. MCC has sixteen nurses who will graduate this year. Graduation ceremonies for MCC students was set for Tuesday, May 20, at Crystal Lake high school.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD ~k 100 YEARS * THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER SERVING THE CH A IN - O-LA KE S REGION SINCE 1875 ; 1 '/>; > ... 200-Car Caravan To Governor's Meeting Head Start Cheer Summer Vacation Summer vacation brings riotous good humor, especially among the very young and energetic. That was the situation at Head Start classes last week, where local pre-school children heard the good word that classes were in recess until next Fall. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD When the McHenry Publishing company lost its vice-president with the death of Arnold Lund last week, we felt a personal loss in the passing of a friend. His association with the Plaindealer had spanned twenty-six years, and during that time he made periodic visits to the office. But whether he was here or busy with other duties, his presence was felt in a helpful manner that never was intrusive. He was a strong figure of a man who exerted much in­ fluence from the vast scope of his knowledge of, and ex­ perience in, newspaper operation. For the most part, he was a serious, reserved man who spoke only when he had something worthwhile to offer. For this quality, and his skill in handling problems others might withdraw from, he was held in high esteem by colleagues over a wide area. We feel fortunate to have known Arnold Lund, a man with whom it was more true to say one worked "with" than "for". Last week Wednesday and Thursday were important days for young members of Head Start classes. May 14 they hosted members of the McHenry County board, the Head Start board and the Methodist church board, when classroom activities were conducted as usual. The open house was in observance of National Head Start day. On Thursday it was graduation day, with many parents in attendance. CHasses are held at the Methodist church hall on Main street, where forty-five - maximum for which federal funds are provided-are enrolled. The enrollment is kept to this number through limited recruitment in McHenry and the surrounding communities. Lionel Johnson, Head Start director, said he hopes classes can be held in the same location next Fall. Investigate Deaths Of Two Young McHenry Men Friday Investigations are continuing tflto the deaths of two young McHenry men, both of which occurred Friday, May 16. Jeffery Kasprzyk, 20, of 2405 S. Bittersweet, McHenry, was found dead in his uncle's apartment at 725 Grove drive, Buffalo Grove, last Friday afternoon, May 16, about 1:45. According to Buffalo Grove police, Kasprzyk had been shot with a 22 caliber weapon. Buffalo Grove police reported they are treating the incident as a homicide pending further investigation. Jeffery was born Nov. 20, 1954, in Chicago, son of Conrad J. and Donna Kasprzyk. A 1972 graduate of McHenry high school, he was a bricklayer by trade. Besides his parents, he is survived by one sister, Priscilla; two brothers, Conrad, Jr., and Steven, and his grandparents, Mrs. Charlotte Kasprzyk and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ovelgia of Chicago. The body rested at the George R. Justen & Son chapel until Tuesday morning. A funeral Mass was offered at 10 o'clock at St. Mary's Catholic church, with burial in the church cemetery. Members of his family found Daniel L. Deja, 19, dead in the home at 1511 N. Freund avenue, McHenry, Friday afternoon, May 16, about 4:30.

(Continued on page 23) A caravan of at least 200 cars will carry local residents to Marian Central high school, Woodstock, Thursday night, May 22, at 7 p.m. There, they will ask questions of Governor Dan Walker during an Ac­ countability session open to the public. Interested persons in the McHenry area are invited to join the car caravan which will leave Valley View school, 6515 W Rt. 120 West, at 6:30 p.m. Arrangements have been made with the Sheriff's department to furnish an escort from Valley View to Marian high. Early indications are that the caravan will be made up chiefly of local residents who • are concerned over the con­ dition of Rt. 120, from Draper to Greenwood road. They intend to ask the Governor when action on improvement of the highway can be expected. Many other areas of interest are also expected to be discussed. Gov. Walker's accountability sessions are regular op­ portunities for people across the state to ask the Governor, first-hand, about the conduct of state government. During his campaign for Governor, Gov. Walker promised to hold the Ac­ countability sessions in towns and cities of all sizes throughout Illinois. Gov. Walker said: "People have the right to hold state government ac­ countable -- and that means confronting state officials in person. "Meeting with people in the Woodstock and northern Illinois area and answering their questions directly will also help me find out how ef­ fectively state government is operating and where im­ provements are needed." Arrangements for tne Ac­ countability session are being made with the assistance of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, united Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implements Workers (UAW) Local 922 and the Woodstock Jaycees.

She was treated and released. According to deputies, Ms. Calkins was west-bound on Sometimes sudden thoughts, known to newspapers as fillers, seem as valuable as the picture worth a thousand v/c-rds. Take these for instance: ...A sure way to keep crime from paying is to let the government run it. ...The grass grows so high along some highways that one can barely see the empty beer cans. ...It's hard to take advice from those who can't afford to spare it. ...Most silent men are well worth listening to.
