Nov. 7 - special zoning ordinance commission, 7:30 •t McHenry County college kicked off its Energy Ex­ perience last week with a town meeting which offered hints on coping with the energy crunch, and predicted Americans will have to> be resourceful to cope with changes in the next few years. Vn audience of more than 50 people questioned speakers at the session about the benefits of gasohol, the truth of oil shortages and the practicality of energy ef­ ficient farming methods.v After an introduction by the college president, and praise for students who planned the energy program by Board Chairman Gerald Smith, the meeting started .with a look at the college's --: fUfc- to 9:30 p.m. - annex, to hear public comments or suggestions on the present zoning ordinance. The public is always invited to par­ ticipate in committee meetings. energy picture by Richard Peters, dean of ad­ ministrative senrices at MCC. Peters said the college benefits from an energy efficient building and that MCC efforts to turn off lights whenever possible have kept gas and electricity use down. Don Barrett, coordinator of agricultural programs at the college, told the group that the eifergy crisis is a people crisis. Barrett explained people need to abandon the attitude of "what's in it for me" and work together. . Farmers and agri- businessmen . have been leaders in using alternate energy sources, he said, because the high costs of traditional energy has forced in on them. Showing corn that was grown in untitled fields, Barrett noted that in ad­ dition to those new methods, farmers have pioneered in the use of gasohol. The next speaker, MCC ^economics instructor Jeff Ryan, talked about the oil shortage. He stunned the audience with the comment, "I think gasoline in this country is too cheap", then explained that people only conserve when high costs force them to do so. Ryan also discounted the fallacy that there will be more gasoline available once the price climbs: H$ said while shale oil reserves may become more economically feasible to use, .the cost ofcmarketing that oil will be prohibitive as a long range solution to the oil shortage. John Konitzer, chairman of the MCC natural sciences department, echoed Ryan when he said Americans have a faulty attitude that they have only to get a bigger hammer or pay a larger price to get what they want.

The last speaker for the town meeting, Van Sells of the Regional Transportation Authority, said the oil shortage means that "Maybe for the RTA the time has come."
