Boyer, McHenry Rotarian representative, outlined the important aspects of student involvement in the exchange program. He spoke to 15 Marian students interested in foreign exchange. Boyer said that a student interested in the program must be in the upper one-third of hig­ her class, be of good character, and be willing to put in hours on activities and homework as an exchange applicant. "Besides," said Boyer, "you, as an presently [igh School, Ian Belton, attending McHenry High School gave some of his impressions of life asf an exchange student. Ian felt that it broadens his outlook on people and life in general. The Marian students asked questions like, "Was it difficult living away from home?" Ian's response was, "It's an education in living... it's a good preparation for going away to college." He felt it was one of the best experiences he has ever had. Leads in Augustana homecoming plans Shaw-Free Press Media The McHenry County College Faculty Association (MCCFA), which has been teaching without a contract, has decided to wait until after the Nov. 8 election to sign a contract. David Hill, president of MCCFA, said that at a faculty meeting this past week the teacnen agreed ttf wait until after the election in the hope that new blood can bring new life to old proposals. They also decided to pursue a two-year contract, „ as recommended by their negotiator, Crystal Lake attorney Jim Bishop. Hill said the teachers are hoping for a salary offer ana fringe package. On Sept. 12, 59 full-time teachers took a mass personal day for what they called informational picketing at the MCC President Robert announced the next day that all faculty participants would not receive pay. The MCCFA argued this was unfair since the contract allows two days off for "urgent personal business or religious reasons." Hill said the picketing was urgent business. The grievance will be handled at the regular trustee meeting Thursday, Oct. 27, Hill said. Bartlett said a special meeting may be called earlier and added he has not changed his mind on the penalty. Hill said the teachers are not uncomfortable with this wait- and-see approach, and it would not affect their performance. "We're glad to be doing what we want to do," Hill said. "In general, we feel it is the proper approach." He believes it isn't right to "saddle" the new board with decisions made by the old one. Barbara Krapp, board chairman and head of the negotiating team, is not running for another term. "Things seem to be going quite well," Bartlett said, "but obviously we'd like to get this settled. I'm not sure what they expect to gain." Bartlett said a one percent increase for the teachers would cost the college about $13,800. Adding classified and administrative staff, the price tag would be $27,000. Teachers are asking for something comparable to other institutions, in the neighborhood of a 5 percent base increase. Without merit pay and fringe benefits, such a proposal would mean another $135,000. Bartlett said there has been no discussion of an administrative freeze. "That would be totally unfair," he said. "We're not talking freeze for the faculty, why should we talk freeze for the administration? " He said all college personnel have been working without a contract since July 1. "Since the faculty contract is settled first, it means everyone is hanging," Bartlett said. "Everything is on hold." Hill said the teachers are serious about their demands, but are reasonable. "We're not talking strike," he said. "We're not pTaving any games with this." : He said continuing to work "shows good faith on our part, instead of flushing the whole thing." i During the 1982-83 school year, a new teacher's contract provided a 5.3 percent base increase, plus merit pay and cost-of-living increases in life and medical insurance coverage. Classified staff received a 6.5 percent increase in pay and administrators got a 5.3 percent raise. It cost the college $222,681. Deborah Carani, Highland Park, and William Roderick, Hinckley, are general co- chairpersons of the 64th annual Augustana College homecoming to be held Oct. 12-16 on the campus in Rock Island. They are assisted by 44 students who head 22 homecoming committees. The committees are involved in planning a variety of activities, including the election of a homecoming king and queen, a talent show, rope pull, sing and yell contests, coronation ceremony, concert, parade and dance. Rick Szumlas of McHenry heads one of the committees. Eastman takes a hard look at education today McHenry acquaintances read with interest in Monday's Sun Times an article written by Richard Eastman. Hie dean of faculty at North Central College in Naperville, a job. He must make says this education Five area students graduate from SIUC he emeritus is at now that professor institution. He is married to the former Vivian Bolger of McHenry. In his article, Eastman decries the popular goal of education as a sole aim in The educator calls it a "harmful myth" of the decade that an education must lead directly and surely to the paycheck. He insists that frightened hordes of students snatch at majors that are to "pay". concedes that all education should render young adults valuable enough so that their society may welcome them into working life. But he insisted that both employers and new grads need to see that education often fosters a much deeper worth than the immediate economic utility that requires no further training. He believes that at the conclusion of their working lives students should not end up on the beaches of retirement, workworn and bored. Instead, he feels they should have a zest for the full life that still awaits. Eastman says a college education must fit them for all of this, and it is "poor philosophy, poor public policy and abuse of the young mat tailors schoolii only to this year's view of the j< market". _ _ _ _ 9 ft Summer commencement and exercises were conducted Aug. 6 for approximately 2,400 degree candidates at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale.
