Jim Gilmour is in his third year as an MCC counselor. Although he does counseling in all areas he often helps students with personal problem counseling and works with students who find it unusually difficult to take tests or give speeches. Gilmour is also MCC student activities coordinator and oversees all student govern­ ment and club activities. He is currently working on his doctorate in counseling at NSU and worked as a group leader in a transactional analysis in­ stitute before coming to MCC.

A Crystal Lake resident, he has a Master's degree from Southern Illinois university and worked as a counselor in financial aids at SIU.

John Adelmann sums up the work of the student services office well in his description of one woman who came seeking counseling last week.

One of the most overlooked bargains around these days is the nighttime rate for Long Distance. By dialing direct and call­ ing between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. weekdays you can save up to 60% from daytime rates. And it's not just inexpensive --it's practical, too. For example, night people can dial California at 11 p.m. and it's only 9 p.m. out on the Coast. While early risers can dial New York at 7:55 a.m. and it's already 8:55 Eastern time. Imagine, saving 60% any weekday just by calling after 11 p.m. or before 8 a.m. (Discounts are smaller on calls within Dlinois and to Alaska and Hawaii.) And this is only one of many money-saving ideas you'll find in our new booklet, "How to Save Money on Long Distance'.' You'll also find rate charts for calls within Illinois, out-of-state rate charts, an area code map, how to avoid charges for bad connections and wrong numbers, information about other bargain calling times, Discounts apply to total charges on Direct Dial calls, but onl>'to additional mimjtt charges on Operator assisted calls.

She is currently working on her doctorate in community college education and is one of two counselors at MCC who specialize in career counseling. Ms. Messling says counselors at MCC have the job of making sure that the rest of the college is attuned to students' needs. "The community college is supposed to be student-oriented and it is the job of the student services office to see that kind of atmosphere pervades everythings." She explains that many people seek counseling help at the times their lives are changing like women who are seeking jobs outside the home for the first time or men retiring' from the military at age 45. Dotti Hovan worked part- time as an MCC counselor last year, but this year she is full time acting as counselor for the i n d i v i d u a l i z e d s t u d y laboratories at MCC.
