COP RETIRING SUPERVISORS ARE HONORED As the Republican candidates for McHenry township offices were mounting their intensive people - to - people campaign, Republicans from throughout {he county gathered in Woodstock to honor six retiring members of the board of supervisors. Featured speaker for the "Salute to Township Government" dinner was Niles Township Supervisor John Nimrod. One of Cook County Board President Richard Ogilvie's "righthand men," Nimrod called upon Republicans to "do something about the gradual taking away of township government." He suggested that county govern- ' merit should make policy and that township officials should be expected to carry out this policy. Three township supervisors and three assistant supervisors were presented awards by Young Republican President Cal Skinner, Jr. Among the supervisors were George Janak, Algonquin; Earl Thomas, Dunham; and John VanderVeen, Hebron. Janak, whtits also the chairman of the county board, was asked by Jviaster of Ceremonies Thomas A. Henley, Jr., where the new courthouse is going to be located.

A NO VOTE: Th© Junior Colleg® Program which the voters are asked to approv© April 1 is NOT th® best educational program that is available to McHenry rosldenis. What do w@ mean? If we consider the great technical advances thai have been made in medicine, science and industry, w© must admit the scientific development of our educational system has been neglected. W@ are still constructing buildings and using the same basic approach to education which was In us® SO years ago. Th© tenth-i^ that many of our present buildings and She buildings which ar© being bulls fedtaf an obsolete. To make matters worn these building® musf be staffed with tectan ^lao are not readily available and other servleo personnel who do not contribute £® th© odkeational pr@gram but are only necessary to service the building and its use. It is lime we carefully examine other avenues that are available. How do we provide the BEST education to everyone in the county at the lowest possible cost? One of the outstanding success stories in education is the program developed and administered by the Chicago Board of Education over television station WTTW (Channel 11). The number @1 full-film© equivalent omdents (15 credit hours) grew from 555 in the fall of 1966 to an average of over 800 students at pr@e©nt0 This television college now ranks among the upper one-half of all th© American Junior colleges in siao. The retention p©re©afia§© (numbs? of students who complet© a iemester or tri-mest®r's work) average b@tw©©n 70 and SO percent. This year, 63 different colleg ® courses are offered for credit The records show 138 students hav© already been awarded the Associate in Arte Degree. Approximately 1300 students graduated with th® AA Degree who took, on an av®mgo, one semester of their work by television. Approximately 40% of TV students ptesa to teach. This TV Colleg® Program was examined by a panel of distinguished educators in 1960 and pronounced an unqualified success. We believe you will be interested in the following quote from Chicago's TV College: "TV College is particularly proud Shit from the very beginning IS has promised standards. Th® Worth Central Association of Schooli aid Colleges immediately accepted TV Colleg© courses as th® (equivalent of those offered on junior college (campuses. Students complying these courses have transferred credit earned to colleges throughout the Midwest and the country. Indeed, answers to an item on a folle^np questionnaire completed by former TV College students indicate that these students found their television course just as demanding as th© couri@i they took on campus in the junior college or elsewhere. The on© significant difference reported by these students is that they found television courses to be better organized and more skillfully presented" This consensus is not iurpriilng b©ciuse the faculty who offer TV €@H©§© courses represent an unusually high=l©^el of preparation especially at the junior c©ll©n© level. About one-half hold the Ph.D. Degree. As a group they have taught at the college level an averag® of WA years. This TV Coll®g© is available to everyone in McHenry County now. We recognise, however, that an educational e©nt©r for the purpss© of conducting mid-term and final examinations, establishing and maintaining a reference library, arranging to us© the laboratories and other facilities of th© high schools in the county is desirable. Chicago City College has offered to assist us in establishing an educational center in McHenry County. W© believe this is an exciting opportunity to provide the best education to the people of McHenry County. We ask everyone, including those on the present Junior College Program Committee, to carefully examine this proposal and help us develop a program that will serve as an inspiration to people in other areas. What is the cost? The Junior Colleg© Committee has estimated the total cost^ per student per year, as approximately $1,000.' Included in this amount is $330 for tuition to be paid for by the student. The tuition cost for TV Colleg® is $130. No new taxes are required for this outstanding TV Colleg© Program. Please ask your frlende mad neighbors to vote NO on April 1 so that this program can be implemented immediately. McHenry County Education Committee Louis B.
