It will not be a remote organization but will play a direct part in the lives of people and organizations in McHenry county." A broad curriculum will be required for the student body will be composed of at least three different groups. One group will be interested in taking the first two years of instruction leading them to transfer to a senior college to obtain a bachelor's degree. Anotljer program must be designed to impart skills needed to help those who enroll to prepare themselves to work after one or two years of training - a technical or vocational area. "A third group, and possibly the largest -- will be the .adult education program," Dr. Etheredge continued. "Adults will want a variety of courses, from child psychology to blueprint reading," The school will have the job of matching interests of students with their abilities and will need to place in the program of instruction to help students fulfill their goal as much as possible. Reporting on the faculty, Dr. Etheredge said all key administrative staff positions are filled. To date he has received about 550 applications for a teaching position. Based on this large number of applicants, plus his evaluation of the applicants he feels McHenry County college will have an outstanding faculty. He said his estimate of 900 full-time and part-time students is on the conservative side. Projecting 10 years ahead he said by September 1978 McHenry County College expects to have 2,000 full-time and 2,000 part-time students. On the basis of 4,000 students the Illinois Junior col- Is there SOOli lege board recommends a campus of at least 150 acres. He feels growth will be gradual and the state will participate in the construction cost to the extent of 75 percent. However, he reminded his listeners any money coming to the McHenry County college from the state will be on a gradual basis. Concerning entrance requirements, he said any high school graduate will be admitted, and a non-high school graduate 18 years or older will be admitted. He called this "an open door policy" and said the challenge to the junior college is to identify each student's ability and interests and to place him where he can do best. Projected first-year budget will be $1 million. The state will pay one-half of the operating costs through reimbursement of $11.50 per semester hour. Tuition to students will be $5.50 per semester hour. Finding facilities is one of the many immediate challenges. Dr. Etheredge said the board has several paths available for the interim classrooms and hopes to have an announcement ready comparatively soon. This might involve using facilities at some present schools or it might involve part of the IIT building. Everett Nichols, superintendent of Marengo high school who is president of the board of education for the junior college, reviewed events leading to the approval of the junior college and the selection of the president. He said the board has decided to hire an architect to go over the ten proposed sites and to apply the criteria determined by the board for the site. The board expects to hire an architect within the week and from that point work toward determining the permanent home for the college will move ahead faster. MURDER CHARGE ACTION Court action on the triple murder charges made against Mrs. Helen Levoe, 31, ofLakein- the-Hills have been continued until April 2 in Branch I court. Mrs. Levoe is charged with killing three of her four children in their home on March 15. Seek $29,000 Goal For YMCA Needs Of Year Expansion Aims Cited By Past President Seiling (Continued from page 1) The five General Solicitations divisions of the Lake Region YMCA's 1968 finance campaign officially began their operation on a task force basis after the General Solicitations Kick-Off dinner, which was held at the Crj^tal Lake American Legion hall. Ninety workers and their wives enjoyed fellowship, food, entertainment and training. Workers are seeking to help the YMCA by personally soliciting donations from interested individuals inthe area, which will be sufficient to reach the goal of $29,000. The kick-off dinner began with the invocation delivered by Dr. John L. Figley, pastor, Crystal Lake First Methodist church. The master of ceremonies' duties were handled by Earl Nehring, who set the stage for an evening of light-hearted fun and serious business. William G. Baker, 1968 campaign chairmen, reviewed the materials prepared for canvassers. Louis Schairer, 1968president of the Lake Region YMCA welcomed everyone and narrated a skit presented by Jim Zoellick, executive director . and Jack Renskers, 1968 Special gifts chairman, relating the right and wrong ways to present the YMCA story. An exciting form of entertainment was presented by the "Crystal Lake Sing-outs", a group of Lundahl and Central Junior high school girls and boys made popular by the famous "Up With People" groups. Alfred Seiling. Immediate past president of the Lake Region YMCA, presented the main address of the evening, in which he talked about money -- the money the YMCA needs to continue its programsyitsprogress and its expansion goals. "The YMCA has an ambitions program for its 1968 finance goal of $29,000" he said, "and it is one of the vital steps toward our completed pattern for expansion." He emphasized the importance of the canvasser as a "personal source of information to all interested persons." "To date", he said, "we have built the Lake Region YMCA on the base of improvement and expansion of programs designed to serve the needs and interests of persons where they live. The YMCA has a great concern for the future of the association in terms of a permanent facility, a greater number of adult programs and a well rounded group of teen-age and young adult activities. In all these areas," he said, "the Y will need to do more to strengthen the goals for the future. In summary, it is important, now for everyone to do what they can to help the Y -- and the need for $29,000 is now -- build for tomorrow while we serve today," he concluded.

How the aroma of baking breaSi would drift out of the oven amj overwhelm you when you opened the door, returning fronj school. .« How on a cold and snowjj night little piglets would com* to town. And, upon being dwj covered, would find their way Be Wise Shop In McHenry to a box behind the cozy old stove. In a few hours, dad would carry them back to the barn -- saved by the warmj]; from the old stove. I remember how the top 0 the stove would gleam from §4} many polishings with a waxed paper, always the job of the one doing dishes that evening.
