\ * \Xfppi^pii// W*SIQJI£>Q Offer $ 15O,0OO MCC, Grants W w ' m m m m m/ V/ O In a report to the board of of a 27 percent increase in nursing and law enforcement In a report to the board of trustees of McHenry County college, Andrew DeCraene, director of financial aids, reported that nearly $150,000 in grants, loans and other awards are available to students at­ tending McHenry County college. The report came at the regular meeting of the board July 26. Most of the aid is available through the Illinois State Scholarship commission in the form of grants and scholar­ ships. A large part is available for veterans, through the Veteran's Cost of Instruction program and the Veteran's Work-Study program. "The college qualified for the $7,610.52 for the Veteran's Cost of Instruction program because of a 27 percent increase in veterans attending MCC during the 1972-73 college year and because of the special services that MCC has provided veterans," said DeCraene. The college currently em­ ploys two students in the "Outreach" program which is designed to use veterans to help other veterans. The workers contact newly-returned veterans to help their re­ adjustment to civilian life, and to help fhem find productive jobs. Veterans may also qualify for the Illinois veteran's scholarship. This scholarship covers the cost of tuition and some fees for four calendar years. In addition, students in certain programs, such as nursing and law enforcement may be eligible for monetary awards to cover the cost oif tuition and other expenses. Other awards include work- study programs which provide part-time employment for full time students and the Illinois Guaranteed Loans. There are also a few service clubs offering scholarships and loans to MCC students, ac­ cording to DeCraene. Students or parents in­ terested in finding out about eligibility for one or more of the programs can contact DeCraene at the college. "There are early deadlines for many of the awards and students would do well to check into these opportunities at the earliest date," DeCraene ad­ ded. Three persons were taken to McHenry hospital following a pickup truck-car crash Thursday af­ ternoon about 5 o'clock on Route 120 at Hillside lane, east of McHenry. Transported by the McHenry Rescue squad were William R. Huebner of 278 Pearson, Crystal Lake, and his passenger, Donald Pratt of 44 Maple street, Crystal Lake; also the driver of the truck, Glen J. Bockwinkel of 650 Har­ vard street, Mundelein. Huebner was admitted to the hospital while the other two were treated and released. Bockwinkel was east-bound on the highway when his truck started to slide sideways on the wet pavement. He crossed the center line into the westbound lane, where he collided with the Huebner car. Bockwinkel was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Interested in getting acquainted with somebody really important?

A passerby said the car was completely demolished, much of it wrapped around the tree trunk. A witness told police he was jvhgu,. Jung passed him "as though I was standing still".

A Wisconsin man was killed in Richmond Saturday af­ ternoon when his motorcycle was hit by an auto at the in­ tersection of Route 173 and Broadway street. Pronounced dead at the scene was Rudolph H. Tschischke, 36, of Route 1, Trevor, Wis. Driver of the auto, Genevieve C. Kattner of 5710 George street, Richmond, was tran­ sported to Burlington hospital, Burlington, Wis., by the Rich­ mond Rescue squad for treatment of shock. No statement was taken from Mrs. Kattner due to her con­ dition. A witness at the scene saw the Kattner vehicle west­ bound on Broadway.
