An item in the report of the Legislative and Public Affairs committee concerned a recommendation that counties be provided the opportunity to determine whether they use paper ballots or an approved type of mechnical or electrical voting means. Member Cal Skinner, Sr., in commenting on the report, pointed to the complications that will result from the con­ solidated elections in 1979. Skinner asserted it is important to go to electronic voting rather than vote in a different manner as is now the case (paper ballots for school elections, electronic for primary and general elections). Others agreed and said they would urge this action by the Legislature. When the matter of payment of $3,000 owed by the County board to the Northern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) came up for discussion, any action was delayed on the request by Ms. Easty, County board representative on the NIPC committee.

Essays written by Jim Tatro and Lisa Matulka were chosen two of the three best in McHenry county. Three finalists from each county in the six-county region were chosen. Both students are in the fifth- gratfe class of Mrs. Pat Bingman. Jim is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Tatro, 5513 Meadow Hills, and Lisa is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Matulka, 210 W. Croyden, Spring Grove. The two ten-year-olds and their parents will be honored today (Friday) at the National Transportation day luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Chicago hotel. Over 12,000 entries from the six-county RTA region were received for the contest. The theme of the contest was "How' Public Transportation Helps Conserve Energy." According to Mrs. Bingman, her entire class began writing essays for the contest as part of a class project and six students entered essays in the com­ petition. "The research done by the class on public transportation contributed to the succes of Jim and Lisa," said Harold May, principal of James Bush school. Both winners are now eligible for the first prize for the county, which will be a $160 savings bond, a trophy, and a trip to Springfield with their parents to meet their state legislator. Second and third prize winners will receive $50 and $25 savings bonds, respectively May expressed pride in the fact that two of the winners from the over 12,000 entries received were from the same class in the same school. "The winning of the contest by Jim and Lisa," he ex­ plained, "will provide incentive for other students in the numerous educational contests sponsored by state and local agencies."

Student Self- Scheduling is now taking place at East and West campus. During this process students build their class schedule for next year. Students have already been reviewing what courses they should take with their teachers, counselors, and parents. In Self-Scheduling they simply choose when they wish to take classes from the master schedule. Not every student can get every class wanted due to class size limitations. For this reason the process of Self-Scheduling sometimes is a challenge to the student. Student Course Request Direct Schedule During the beginning of the second semester students in­ dicated what courses they would take for the next school year. -From this information the high school schedule builders, Roger Zawacki at East, and Earl Kyle at West, assist the principals in developing the master schedule. This master schedule is sent to computer facilities where it is processed and the materials needed for Student Self-Scheduling are made. So, when a student goes into Self- Scheduling it is not to choose what classes will be taken, but rather when the classes will be taken. After the Self- Scheduling is done the material is sent back to the computer facility where the students' final schedules are printed.
