o SKrrio\ ' IVXt.l J I'l.AINPK VI.KR-WKDNESDAY, MARCH9,1J&7 MCC Takes 'Dim' View Of Lighting Situation McHenry County college officials are turning off some of the outside lights at the college's campus on Rt 14 as an enerev saving measure. Parking lot lights at the campus are being controlled manually instead of letting a timer system turn on all the lights when they might not all be needed In addition, outside lights on the second floor of the MCC Main hall are not turned on at all except for the lights on the front of the building. The college will continue to light the first floor of the building's perimeter at night, however, for security reasons. 'The lights are a deterrent. Turning all the lights out would be an invitation to trouble," explains Vincent Genovese, MCC chief of security. "The mercury vapor lighting outside the building is less expensive to operate than other outsit aght systems.'4 The college has received some complaints about the outside lighting from citizens concerned with wasted energy and the cost of running the lights, according to Dr. James R« Davis, MCC president. Davis said that the lights on the perimeter of the building were required by the State Capitol Development board as a condition for state funding to help build the MCC campus. Davis noted that while neigh boring Harper college is not lighted at night, that college relies on a full-time security police force to protect its campus. At MCC, the lights enable one security guard to adequately protect the campus with the help of patrols by the county sheriff's department. One reason the MCC lights seem bright is that the campus is located in an isolated area away from city street lights or shopping areas. "If we were next to a shopping center no one would notice our lights," said Davis. Genovese said the outdoor lights, while important, are only part of the security system at the new MCC campus. "The college buildings are locked at 10.30 each night, and are locked on weekends except when classes are in sessionl Only eight keys to the buildings have been' issued to key personnel. Other faculty or students who need to get into the buildings when they are locked must make an appointment with the security guard to be let in," he said. "The college also has a vandal alarm system which is activated by noise. The alarm is in operation whenever the security guard leaves one of the buildings on the campus. The alarm is a silent one which telephones two MCC officials Enprau Certificate Fiums C Walnut woodgralnad finish. Full strength glass.

There has been little van­ dalism at the college, and according to Genovese, the outside lighting system is probably responsible. While there was some vandalism to cars parked at the MCC lot last fall, increased security patrols of the parking lot by MCC personnel and by the sheriff's department have ended that problem. • W0RKWISE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . 1.1 am 20 years old and work at a filling station. My younger brother, age 14, wants to work and I thought I might get him a job pumping gas at the establishment where I am employed. I've heard that he might be too young to work there. Is he? According to the Child Labor law, minors under the age of 16 may not work in certain establishments that are con­ sidered hazardous. Filling stations are considered hazardous, and therefore, he cannot legally be employed there. 2. I worked as a typist for a certain company during the past year. About two weeks ago, I cut my hand at home and could not return to work. As a result, I lost my job and I'm not able to work. Can I collect unemployment insurance? In order to collect Unem­ ployment Insurance benefits, you must meet certain requirements established under the Uemployment In­ surance Act. These requirements include being available and able to work. Since you state that you aren't able to work, this will effect your chances of being eligible for these benefits.
