LAW DAY LIBERTY BELL AWARD TO McHENRY MAN (Continuef rom page 1) USA committee are Judge Cooney and Zukowski, co- chairmen; Mrs. Regina SEWER DISPUTE CONTINUES TO PLAGUE BOARD (Continuef rom page 1) the additional monies needed to complete the project. While the mayor did not make any commitment to give such help, he did indicate that, if the city can get the money through federal sources, they would be willing to help. A meeting was set up between the city and college attorneys for April 26 to draw up a contract which spells out the agreement between the two bodies. This contract will then have to be approved by the City Council and by the college board. George Heck emphasized that if the college proceeds with the gravity sewer, the college will end up paying 10 percent of the cost in the long run. The additional money may be returned when property owners along the route hook up to the sewer at some future date. With a forced main, said Heck, the college pays iqp percent. He also said that it is necessary to begin making drawings and specifications and sending them out for bids as soon as possible. He was assured by the board that they will proceed after the signing of the agreement between the city and the college. In other board business, a student, Michelle Parman of Crystal Lake, appeared before the board to inform them of the problems she has had in being admitted to the dental hygiene program at Harper college in Palatine. According to Ms. Parman, she has been shuttled from office to office at Harper and claims that she has not been admitted to the program for the sole reason that she is an out-of-district student. The board and President Davis agreed that Harper is acting within the law, but that Ms. Parman should have been informed at the time that she applied that there was little chance to be admitted because she is an out-of-district student. She has taken the physical e x a m i n a t i o n , w r i t t e n examination and paid an admission fee at Harper. The board decided to write a letter to Harper's college board to ask if there is any recourse for Ms. Parman. They will also write a letter to the National Dental Hygiene association asking whether the main criteria for admission to a school of dental hygiene should be academic qualifications or whether admission should be based on some political boundary. In other business, the board received copies of the North Central association report on the last NCA visit last January.

Trustees discussed a letter from the McHenry County Historical society requesting one of the guilded shovels used at the college's ground breaking for display in its museum in Union. President Davis had written a letter informing the society that five of the shovels were borrowed from the college of Lake county. The board asked if Dr. Davis could negotiate with CLC to allow MCC to give one of the shovels to the museum. T. Nathan Pohl, dean of business services, and Dr. James R. Davis, president, were given the authority to make short-term investments of college funds. Discussion was held on a letter from the Illinois Community college board stating that MCC's average class size is one of the lowest in the state. While the board appeared to understand that much of this difficulty. is because of facilities, they said that the administration should do what it can to increase the class size. Other business was as follows: - reaffirmed approval of the graphic arts program; - approved the purchase of shelving for the Learning Resources center, window air conditioners for use during summer session, tablet arm chairs and the portable classrooms which will be purchased, and an electronic ignition tester; - approved an increase in rent by $1,500 per month for the last six months of the current lease with the Illinois Institute of Technology; - approved the hiring of Ms. Suzanne Halaska as a counselor; - approved the hiring of James Bykowski as a full-time instructor of photography; - approved the hiring of part- time personnel for the music department, and the continuing education-general studies area; - approved the appointment of Judy Decker, Ralph Fidler, David Hil! and Linda Lawrence on an overload basis for their participation in the e x p e r i m e n t a l f a c u l t y advisement program during the spring semester; - approved non-classroom summer assignment for full- time staff members; - approved the appointment to counselor John Adelmann as director of Student Services.

Thomas Hanahan of McHenry and defeated last Wednesday (80 to 50), has an undertone that we feel should be explored. The resolution would have made it impossible to consider this year any bill that was introduced and defeated last year. This bill would have prevented any chance of the Equal Rights amendment (ERA) being ratified by Illinois in 1974 Thp ERA is the proposed twenty- seventh amendment to the Constitution which, when ratified by thirty-eight states, will make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of sex. "Mr. Hanahan has made clear his opposition to the ERA on numerous occasions. - We find it interesting that, in an election year, a manipulative maneuver like this would be attempted. Many questions come to mind, such as: Is the tone of the legislature such that Mr. Hanahan is afraid Illinois will ratify the ERA this vear? Have certain legislators realized they underestimated the growing number of ERA supporters? Has Mr. Hanahan realized that those whom he so neatly categorized as 'Brainless, braless, broads' include wives, mothers, business and professional women? And how did Rep. Waddel vote on the resolution? "The ERA needs five more states for ratification and we feel that it is about time Illinois joins the ranks of supporters. For a state whose legislators were leaders in ratifying the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote, some of the present legislators Select MCC Student Trustee Member May 2-3 The non-voting student member of the board of trustees of McHenry County college will be chosen at elections May 2 and 3. The student will serve beginning July 1 of this year and ending June 30, 1975. The election is being supervised by the college's Inter-Organizational council (IOC). According to Tom Frost, chairman of the Student Activities board, the students, either part-time or full-time, must have earned at least 6 semester hours with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 (C+-B-). The representative will not be allowed to hold any student office, elected jor otherwise, i The trustee may not be employed by the college, by a firm affiliated with the college, by a person employed by the college or by a member of the board of trustees. The student may not have any member of his or her immediate family employed by the college. Candidate's days are being held this week. During these days, students and media representatives will be able to question the candidates and hear their views. certainly have been lax in acknowledging the numerous other basic rights of what is now over 50 percent of the population.

"Mr. John McCutcheon, editorial page editor of the Chicago Tribune, made a statement in the April 20, 1974, issue to the effect that State Rep. Blair's action if successful "would defranchise the majority of voters in the six- county area". He described Blair as Brutus who stabbed RTA. "As McCutcheon and everyone else knows, only Chicago approved RTA. Suburban Cook and the other five counties overwhelmingly disapproved it. Under the questionable and probably > u n c o n s t i t u t i o n a l v o t i n g procedure set up, the collar counties were muscled into becoming the patsies needed to provide money to solve Chicago Transit Authority's financial dilemma. "This designation was not by choice. It was a matter of being smothered by the voting strength of Chicago and whatever else they do there to win elections. The voting procedure set up gave the five counties little chance of competing with Chicago on an equal basis. It apparently was designed to assume ap­ proval of the RTA bilS and to provide for CTA's deficit by siphoning the needed mone*» from suburban Cook and th, collar counties. "Mr. McCutcheon, in hit editorial, further stated thai "there would be no RTA if th$ five counties were permitted tjj secede". This is an admission by a rabid booster that the intention of RTA was to provide a source of revenue for CTA. "He also expressed concerp for the elderly if RTA is changed or eliminated. The older people that I have talketi to are primarily concerned with the additional drain RT£ will* create on their fixed incomes which are running a poor second to ever increasing taxes. "At present $1.35 of every $5 you spend for gasoline goes for taxes. The 5 percent RTA tax on gasoline will increase this tax portion of your $5 bill to $1,60. This is a step in the wrong direction. "No one has identified the character or amount of the parking tax but the bill gives the RTA board the power to tax privileged parking without limit. You will, in all probability, be taxed for parking at work, shopping, the doctor's office, the hospital, etc., in parking lots. If you park at all or more of these in a day, you would be taxed at each location. "Many state legislators voted for the RTA bill who would not have done so if their own counties had been affected. "So write to State Rep. Blair, 124 Shabbona drive, Park Forest, 111. 60466, and mcourage his action. Write dso to Governor Walker and your own and other State Representatives and Senators. Urge them to support any proposal that will permit the collar counties to withdraw from RTA.
