SECTION 1-PAGE 14-PLAINDEALER-MAY 3, 1972 COLLEGE REINSTATES FIRM t.. (Continued from p«i?e 1} FOLLOWING CONTROVERSY sitft. Ilieir lack of cooperation with staff and faculty members, etc "What proof have you got this performance wouldn't be a repeat performance?" Lutter asked. Smith replied that the firm has built schools all over the country. "The principal of the high school we visited in Milwaukee said they were the finest people he has ever dealt with. That they got involved with a miserable political quarrel down in this area," he exclaimed, "can't be held against them." Smith stressed the fact that when the charges were presented, the firm faced them and refuted them. "Five members of this board were satisfied with their answers," he said. Lutter pointed out that when the board terminated their contract with Schutte-Mochon, there was an outstanding amount due of $30,000 Several weeks later, they submitted a bill for $110,000 and then later, that amount was lowered. Dr Davis interjected that if the board reinstated the firm, the bill would be lowered to $60,000. He stressed that the fee of $50,000 remained the same but the billing amounts could be Dr Davis also informed the board that "if we pay their bill and rehire the firm, we will be reimbursed by the state. However, if we don't rehire them, we receive no reim­ bursement." s, Lutter questioned the fact that this firm has primarily built high schools and only one junior college. Mrs. Pautz replied that they have designed two junior colleges. She contacted these colleges and they reported they were very satisfi the firm's work. All the le at with federal necessary state and requirements had been met In regard to the board's visiting a high school in Milwaukee built by Schutte-Mochon, Lutter remarked, "I think you should Smith declared. look at work other people have done also."

Other members of the board assured us by letter tnat as lar as organizational proceuurw> concerned, they will work directly with Dr. Davis and will form to all task force requirements and state code stan- has assured us by letter that as far as organizational procedures are conform dards," he noted. Ryan asked Board Attorney William Carroll if the firm was bound by the seven-point letter which it submitted to the board. Carroll assured trustees that the firm is bound professionally and by law. The letter from Schutte-Mochon stated: "1. Only the principals of our firm will work with Dr. Davis 'and the board in order to establish the best possible working relationship. "2. We would like to assure you that all of our drawings and contract documents shall conform to the task force requirements and state code standards. 3. If it is necessary for us to do major revisions and, in fact, come up with a complete new concept in the design of the McHenry County college in order to meet the state task force requirements, we will do so at our own cost. 4. The first step would be to up-date and modify work that has been done in the past to conform to the present educational program and cost budget. "5. We would like to suggest that a new contract be drawn up between the boand and our firm in order to clarify as specifically as possible, all important points and procedures in our working relationship. "6. We would like to assure Dr. Davis and the board as far as organizational procedures are concerned that all of our con­ tracts shall be with Dr. Davis directly and in no case will my partners or any of our employees deal with any other person unless requested specifically to do so by Dr. Davis. "7. Based on a total gross area of 225,000 square feet, we would like to assume a target cost figure of building construction cost (within the 5 feet building line) of approximately $25 per square foot." In other business, the board approved the comprehensive master plan as developed for the new college. The plan will be submitted to the Illinois Junior College board in Springfield for approval. Colleges are granted the opportunity to update their plans as they see a necessity for doing at a later time. Dr. Davis was given permission to erect a temporary sign at the proposed site which would identify the college during the initial phases of construction. Chairman Harrington appointed Wiedner and Smith to negotiate with the man who now farms the land where the college will be located. The man has requested information on rental fees and which portion of the land will be available for crop farming. Dr. Davis felt that about 10 acres of the 70-acre site would be used for construction in the near future. The board accepted bids for $58,508.49 in equipment which includes $13,176.20 for agriculture equipment; $5,480.00 for typewriters, calculators and adding machines; $39,442.56 for graphic arts and offset printing equipment and $409.73 for audio- tutorial equipment. Following executive session, two faculty members were employed. Margaret Griffith of Crystal Lake was hired as full- time music instructor and James Carmichael of Marengo as full-time automotive technology. The stage will be tran­ sformed once more for the conclusion of the program, "Italian Street Scene". Italian favorites, "Non Dimenticar", "Ciribiribin" and "Giannina Mia" and the concluding selection, "Italian Street Song'1, will be sung, featuring Carolyn Ritthaler. Other soloists include Walter Sment of Richmond, John Marco of Woodstock, Mary Ann Wegener and Pat Mayer of McHenry and Jacqueline Schau of Wonder Lake. A bit of humor will be in­ stilled into the presentation by Barbara Miller, Anna Mae Cuda, Ed Wittrock and Tony Elliott. A small segment of the program is devoted to a CHORAL CLUB IN MAY PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) the year 1912 as part of the club dons appropriate costumes to Bresent scenes from "The lusic Man". Among selections are "Pick A Little, Talk A Little", "Lida Rose" and "Till There Was You". As a men's octet and cast conclude with "Seventy-Six Trombones", members of the Viscounts will make an unique appearance with special lighting effects on their simulated instruments. A "Younger than Springtime" section will be highlighted with a cafe scene and the familiar "September Song", "Mame" and "Young at Heart". Goodtime Choir, singing a medley of modern religious type selections. Twin sisters, Jean Neumann and Joan Murphy, will supply the accompaniments. IN SPIRIT OF HOSPITAL WEEK (Continued from page 1) procedures on an out-patient basis, and it is proving -a money-saver and a time-saver to patients," reports Corcoran.' "Patients are admitted on' the morning they are scheduled by their doctor to the operating room as an out-patient. They are observed postoperatively by registered nurses and discharged only after evaluation by an anesthetist and attending physician. Should the physician decide the patient should be hospitalized, beds are available for this purpose. McHenry hospital has a powerful plus in providing this service for ambulatory (walking) patients because it has a full-time anesthesiologist on its staff. Dr. Robert Stanell is an anesthesiologist as well as a fully-trained physician, and the combination of skills provide the outpatient with added professional care as part of the team involved in this new service. Significance of this new service at McHenry hospital should not be overlooked. One study at a North Carolina hospital indicated that over 360 patients saved an average of 25 per cent of hospital fees and spent two days less in the hospital than regular patients admitted for the same operations. Also, favorable response has come from all involved - patients, surgeons, insurance carriers, and hospital administrators.

Charges are pending in a one-, ^ car accident involving William a R. Brand of Wonder Lake, which occurred Saturday night about 9 o'clock at 4302 W. Ringwood road, north of McHenry. The auto was totally demolished in the mishap. Brand was transported to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad for;, treatment. He told sheriffs deputies he was east-bound on Ringwood road at a speed of about 35 or 4011' m.p.h. All he could remember was that he must have missed a curve in the road. A witness stated she was sitting in her home when she heard the car coming at a high rate of speed. As the auto > passed, she said it appeared to be traveling at least 75 m.p.h. She didn't see the vehicle hit , the block fence and a tree, but did hear the crash. James M. Frisby of 4303 W. Ponca, McHenry, escaped serious injury after his car overturned in a one-vehicle accident which occurred Saturday morning about 5 o'clock on Lincoln road near Val-Mar Estates subdivision. He was cited by county police for failure to reduce speed. Frisby stated he was west­ bound on Lincoln road when his car ran off the north shoulder of the roadway. As he tried to pull back into his lane of traffic, he over-corrected his vehicle, traveled across the road into a ditch and overturned. Evidence at the scene in­ dicated the vehicle was just coming out of a curve when it left the road, traveled ap­ proximately 148 feet on the north shoulder, veered sharply to the left, crossed the road into a deep ditch and rolled over on its side, coming to rest ap­ proximately 275 feet from whprp it lpft Harold L. Bell of 3506 Pearl street, McHenry, was ticketed by sheriff's police for improper backing after his auto struck a McHenry squad car driven by Officer James A. Keevil of 1309 N. Green street, McHenry.

Green street Keevil stated he was stopped in traffic waiting for the lignt to change when the Bell auto backed out of a parking place and hit the squad car in the left rear fender. Keevil apprehended the Bell vehicle when it left the scene. Bell verified Keevil's statement. Ml)SIN" N* MEANDERINT (Continued from page 1) very much. But then, we didn't expect to. After all, some fellows brought along their secretary wives. We couldn't help but feel this annual ladies' day is planned to please members as much as guests. For the second year, the highlight of the gathering has been a style show - and not just any style. Both the models and their attire would have done credit to the big city. The men advertise this particular feature as an at­ traction for the ladies, but we watched the gents while mi-lady made her way past the tables. The expressions were beyond description. Nobody "dropped his teeth" but So I Hear's un- practiced narration which accompanied the gals' meanderings through the j audience, pretty well told the story. While his reading was greatly improved over a year previous, it was evident he was diverted from the script for a look at new styles, and more importantly, at the lovely ladies weanng them.
