< MUSIN' AND. AAEANDERIN' (Continued From Page 1) Maybe a little hard work in the toy shop would keep them from asking the ^ impossible from newspaper editors. There's still a /paper shortage, you know! There isn't much of material value we really want this year. If Santa will just be generous with a sense of humor, we may well pass through 1976 in top shape. KAF REGISTRATION RECORD SET AT COUNTY COLLEGE (Continued From Page 1) the continuation of hospitalization, major medical and life insurance coverage for MCC employees with the Washington National Insurance company; approved an Athletic Team Insurance program with the St. Paul Insurance com­ pany for athletes and cheerleaders; approved renewal of a contract with CETA; and approved eight chargebacks and denied two. The board also discussed the possibility of computer service to non-profit agencies. Bill Ryan requested information on the different systems available for telephone service at the new campus. This will be given at the January meeting. The board appointed James E. Trefzger, St. Louis, as in­ structor in mathematics for the Spring Semester. Previsouly, the MCC board discussed at length the tuition rate. At this time the tuition rate is $15 per credit hour. By law, tuition may be no higher than one-third of the total ex­ penditure fjer student credit hour, which for 1974-75 at MCC is $57. Expenditure per student credit hour at MCC has con­ sistently dropped for several years -1971-72 -$68, 1972-73- $62.50, 1973-74 -$59.00. Dr. Davis said that other than a short-term cash flow problem, the college is fiscally sound. The board introduced questions they felt must be answered before any changes in the tuition rate are made, including: What will be the impact of the move to the new campus site? How much will the enrollment increase? What * will be the rate of state reim­ bursement? What percentage of increase can be expected in real estate taxes? If an in­ crease in monies is necessary, should it be borne by the student who is now paying one of the highest rates in the thirty-seven Illinois community colleges, or by the taxpayer who is paying one of the three lowest rates in Illinois? The January meeting will be held Thursday, Jan. 22nd, at the Applied Science building on the new campus.

PAGE 13 - I 'LAINDEALER-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1OTS The Law Serves You '*i DIVORCEES' INSURANCE MAY BE CO iVTINL'ED Recent change s. in the Illinois insurance laws p rotect persons who are covered under certain types ot insura nce policies in the event d,i>We or legal separation. The -filinois State Bar Association says the change ̂ in the 1; ivv prevent an insurance company from automatically terminating coverage for a person who has bee n insured und'_»r the spouse's ho/spitali/.ation of medical expense policy. Following a divorce the iinsurance company must offer t he former spouse a similar poli cy. Insurance policies may still contain provisions for ter­ minating coverage for an ex- spouse under i^hie existing policy. But the ISBA, representing liU.000 Illinois lawyers reports "the law now says, '"(he divorced spouse shall be entitled/io have isst to him oir her and individual policy of accidlent and health insurance." The replacement "policy must be issued, if appl ied for within 60 days following the divorce decreo, without evidence of insurabili ty. Another provision of the an tended la *v states that 'if any probationary or waiting periods for coverage under the . replacement policy do not ,. ^ apply in cases of a divorced , spouse converting to an in- '. .. dividual policy. These con- " ditions are considered to be ' satisfied because coverage was in force for the individual . under the previous policy. J'.t! The law requires that the ,j( replacement policy must provide the coverage then available from the insurance,/;; company which is ipost similar \ to. but not greater than, the I terminated coverage. The insured under the replacement ' policy then becomes respon- . sible for payment of the "j premium.

TAX FACTS "Hundreds of Chicagoans may be getting fleeced in the next few weeks on year end tax deals," IRS Director for nor­ thern Illinois, Charles F. Miriani, today warned. "Many area residents may be attempting to seek beneficial tax positions before the end of the year and may be seeking tax benefits which are not allowable." Tax returns audited after the _ year end may disallow questionable tax schemes, causing the taxpayer to lose any claim to benefits reported on his 1975 return. "Before anyone becomes involved in a year end^ tax avoidance transaction, I would recommend that the taxpayer seek professional tax advice from a reputable tax advisor," Miriani added. "A scheme which may seem quite plausible to a taxpayer may be clearly unallowable by law." Miriani indicated that "packaged" tax schemes are often declared unallowable only after hundreds of tax­ payers have participated in thenf, committing their ear­ nings at the end of a tax year. "The best tax advice at this time of year can be obtained from a reputable tax advisor who can see that tax planning is appropriate to the taxpayer's individual case."
