IVXCiK 14 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1975 \ /dtttod 91 WHO IS NOT ALONE Prayer has always been a mystery. But through the centuries millions have turned to it, believed in it, and been strengthened by it. Prayer doesn't solve our problems ... it helps us find right solutions. It doesn't make trouble go away ... it gives us courage to face our trials. Prayer is never a "safe conduct" through the lines of danger... it simply gives a man the bold assurance that he is not alone in his crucial hour. You don't have to go to church in order to pray. You do have to want to be with God. Worship and Christian education have long been the mainstays of continuous communication with God. Families who build their home and happiness on a spiritual foundation find Sundays in church the natural expression of their faith and fervor. A man who cherishes the bold assurance that he is not alone makes being with God a way of life--not a last resort. Copyright 1975 Keister Advertising Service. Inc .

Answer: During the past six years the expenditures in the Educational fund have exceeded the revenue, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $185,000. This deficit together with an inadequate source of revenue has slowed tlie scheduled expansion of our curriculum and student services. The reliance upon tax anticipation warrants is costly to the district, thereby adding an unnecessary drain on our limited reserves. 2. What has been happening to enrollments (transfer- occupational) since 1968, both full-time and part-time? Answer; Since 1968 there has been a 44 percent increase in tfye college transfer program and a 173 percent increase in the occupational program, for an overall increase of 87 percent in credit programs. The headcount has increased 101 percent since 1968, from 1379 to 2978 students. 3. When will the new campus be completed? Answer: The new campus is scheduled to be completed in the spring of next year (1976). In Phase I which is currently under construction, there is 148,000 sq. ft. This includes two buildings, a Main Hall-120,000 sq. ft., and an Applied Science Building-28,000 sq. ft. 4. How can you spend money on equipment and be broke? Answer: The school's finances are separated by funds each • designated to cover expenditures of a specific nature. The Educational Fund receives and expends monies received for instructional expenses such as salaries, supplies, contractual services, etc. Our Site and Construction Fund has received monies through the sale of which are to be used to construct a campus and purchase moveable equipment for classroom use. The equipment purchased has been obtained for use in our temporary facility and will be moved to the new campus when completed. We are not permitted to interchange expenditures between funds. 5. How can you invest $l,000,000-plus and claim to be broke? Answer: Our bond referendum of $3,100,000 provided approximately $900,000 for Phase II of our construction program. We have placed this amount in a reserve account for future use. In the meantime we continue to invest this sum in short term certificates of deposit. These monies cannot be transferred to the educational fund for instructional purposes. 6. Why don't you go the tax warrant route? Answer: Unfortunately, this is the route we have been on in recent years. We are limited by law as to the amount that may be borrowed each year. We may borrow up to 75 percent of anticipated real estate tax revenue and these loans must be repaid as the taxes are received. This is a costly method of financing our instructional program since the interest on these loans is projected to exceed $15,000 annually. 7. Why not just raise student tuition? Answer: MCC's tuition at $15 a semester hour is presently the third highest in the State of Illinois. Last fall, the Board of Trustees raised tuition from $12.50 to $15.00 a semester hour. Present tuition is approaching the legal limit of one-third of the unit cost of a semester hour. 8. How long will the 5 cents be good? Answer: Our five year budget projection indicated that a 5 cent levy increase would last approximately two years. 9. What happens next if the referendum does not pass? Answer: The college will be forced to reduce services to the community and students; to reduce or eliminate programs; to raise tuition even higher, thus making a college education beyond the reach of many of the students. 10. How does our current rate compare with College of Lake County, William Rainey Harper college, Elgin Community college? Answer: The existing valuation of Harper, Elgin and Lake county greatly exceed that of McHenry county thereby producing considerably more revenue than we obtain in McHenry county. 11. Why did the Board go from 8.5 cents to 5 cents. 1 THINK ABOUT IT!! BOB JUSTEN One of the most disturbing news items in recent months comes from The American Cancer Society. In spite of huge sums of money spent to persuade people to see a doctor at the first signs of cancer, people have NOT responded as hoped for. This indifference and casual attitude is hard to understand. There is no reasonable explanation why some people wait a month, 3 months, 6 months or longer after suspicions are detected in this potentially deadly disease. This is the MAIN reason why thousands of people die every year from our nation's second largest killer. It is proved that m >st cancers CAN be cured IF de­ tected early enough. Actually almost 2 million people HAVE BEEN CURED and are leading fine, productive lives! As a common sense health habit, would it not be best to have a check up BEFORE suspicions exist - and most certainly a PROMPT check up at the very first sign that maybe, just maybe, something may be wrong? With your life at stake, what possible reason can there be for you NOT to adopt this sensible health habit? George R. Justen Funeral Home, 3519 W. Elm St.-McHenry Answer: The 8.5 cent figure was to cover a period of 5 years and was to be levied as needed each of the 5 years. The Board decided that in view of the harsh and uncertain economic times that it would be better to ask the voters for 5 cents even though this amount will be sufficient for approximately two years. 12. Why isn't the election being held in April? Answer: The State guidelines specify that faculty not receiving a contract for the following year be" notified in writing of their dismissal by March 31. By scheduling the referendum in March we will be in a position to release faculty who will be affected by program reductions. 13. When the District was created, the people were told that the state would pay 50 percent, the student thirty-three and one-third percent and the rest from taxpayers. What is the current percentage breakdown? Why does it differ from what the public was told back in 1965? Answer: As yet, the state's contribution has not reached the 50 percent level, but it is approaching it. Also, the Junior College act of 1965 specified that the state was to contribute up to - not necessarily 50 percent. 14. What effect or implications does this referendum have as far as the new campus is concerned? Answer: If the college is forced to reduce programs, it will effect the new campus since it is designed to house current programs. Likewise, a reduced enrollment will delay the building of Phase II because the State projects building needs upon student enrollments. 15. Are public funds being used to promote the referendum7 Answer: No public funds are being used. Contributions from McHenry county citizens will be used. 16. Are employees promoting the referendum during regular working hours? , . , •. Answer : No, they are volunteering time outside of working hours only. 17. Who do I contact if I want to help? Answer: Your precinct captain, or Mrs. Barbara Pautz (459- 5202), or John Garrett, Vice President, McHenry County College, 6200 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake $459-6800). 18. What is the state doing relative to the state paying its fair share? Answer: Only past performances can indicate the future. It is hoped that within 5 years the state will raise its contribution to the 50 percent level. However, inflation is constantly raising the unit cost of instruction. Since 1969-70 the amount received from the state has increased from $326,057 to $643,900. 19. Harvard Resident - "You always come up to this part of the county when you need money. What I want to know is what have you done, what are you now doing, or what will you be doing in the future to benefit us?" Answer: Our instructional program has scheduled classes in the high schools and junior high schools in the various communities. Upon the completion of our new campus, this policy will continue and additional classes will be offered in the various outlying communities. 20. Can't the college get together with the new area vocational center to cut down costs so that our taxes won't increase every time we turn around. Answer: MCC is actively cooperating in the formation of the new Area Vocational center. This cooperation will mean reduced costs brought about by the joint usage of certain facilities and staff by both institutions. This should amount to considerable savings for the taxpayers. 21. Why didn't MCC go ahead with the purchase of St. Mary's Minor seminary in Crystal Lake last year? Answer: After giving some consideration to the purchase of St. Mary's Minor seminary in Crystal Lake, the college decided that the suitability of the property for educational purposes did not justify the cost. 22. How many tax increases have there been since the college was begun? Answer: There has been only one tax increase since the college was begun, and that was a 5 cent levy for the Bond and Interest fund as a result of a bond referendum Feb. 26, 1972. The monies derived from this successful referendum can only be allocated and expended for the construction of the new campus. 23. How much money will the referendum raise? Answer: A 5 cent levy, if levied all at once, would amount to $300,000 a year in increased funds for the operational budget. None of these monies would be applied to the construction of the new campus.
