The poll requests constituent opinions on some of the major issues currently before the General Assembly. Schaffer indicated that a large number of polls have been returned to date and expressed his hope that many more interested citizens would complete the poll and send them in. Anyone interested in receivings poll may do so by writing Senator Schaffer's Crystal Lake office at 56 North Williams street. Public Opinion Poll Under Way In an effort to represent his constituents more effectively. State Sen. Jack Schaffer, R- Cary, has issued his third major public opinion poll. Schaffer commented: "I am firmly convinced that the people elect their state Senator to represent them in the General Assembly, not to disregard their opinions when important issues come up for a vote. "But in order to represent his constituents, an elected official must know what their opinions are. A public opinion poll is an excellent form of two-way communication on important issues." Schaffer reported that the questionnaire will measure public opinion on ethics and campaign finance legislation, collective bargaining and the right to strike for public em­ ployees, the Fox Valley Tollway and gun control legislation. Each of these issues will undoubtedly come up in this year's legislative session, he explained. More than 40,000 copies of the public opinion poll will be distributed throughout the 33rd district, according to Schaffer, through personal contact, direct mail and distribution by interested groups. , "Quantity is important," he stressed. "A wide sampling of constituent attitude is necessary if I am to receive a clear picture of just what the people expect and want to see accomplished." Anyone interested in receiving a copy of the poll should contact Schaffer's office at 56 N. Williams, Crystal Lake. Leo Thompson Named Knight Of St. Pat" 11 LEO J. THOMPSON Thirteen engineering students in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have been selected by their fellows to be "Knights of St. Pat". Among them is Leo J. Thompson of McHenry. The honor is based on out­ standing leadershin and achievement in engineering student activities. They were knighted March 15 at the an­ nual St. Pat's ball, named for the patron saint of engineers. St. Pat himself, in top hat and appropriate garb, appeared to induct each knight as he was called forward to kiss the Blarney stone. Each one received a short, stout bronze sword mounted on a wooden plaque as evidence of his selection to the honor. St. Pat's ball in the Illini Union followed the annual two- day engineering open house at UIUC, an event that brought thousands of visitors to the campus. Leo Thompson, a senior in electrical engineering, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo C. Thompson of 3907 Kane avenue, McHenry. He was awards chairman for the Engineering open house and has worked as a technician in the UIUC Digital Computer laboratory. He is a graduate of McHenry Com­ munity high school.

The Newman club, by en­ couraging the willingness to undertake responsibilities among its members, provided outlets for the expression and development of their talents and abilities through its ac­ uities, which stress religious, social, educational, and social action involvement. The Newman community also recognizes a commitment to encourage initiative and to foster leadership by developing relationships and by further involvement with other in­ dividuals and groups, both on and off campus.

They also helped with the "Keen-Agers" (senior citizens) celebration. Besides this, through sing-a-longs and other activities, they show their love and respect for others.

It is only through the support of the community and various organizations that we have been able to come this far in such a short time.

When he reaches his mature, weight, which will be four to bunny is rabbit pellets and clean water to drink, you and he will be doing fine. Prepared rabbit pellets, manufactured by milling companies, contain a complete range of cereal grains, vitamins, minerals and salt. A rabbit really needs nothing else to eat Give your rabbit four or •five ounces of rabbit pellets every day. preferably in the evening-and that is enough. A tunafish can makes a good measure. Pet Stores and feed companies carry pellets. Prices are usually higher in pet stores, but you can buy smaller bags there than most feed companies sell. Use crocks or metal dishes fastened down with wire. A rabbit will eat a plastic dish. A one-pound coffee can makes a good feeding dish. You may give your rabbit grain, dry bread, rolled oats, whole oats and hay. NEVER give a baby rabbit any greens. five months after you get him, you can feed a leaf or two of lettuce on occasion, and perhaps a half carrot or a piece of apple. Forget all about cabbage. It can cause diarrhea, and that kills more little bunnies than anything else. An all wire rabbit hutch is. recommended as the rabbit can't gnaw his way out. It. makes an ideal home as it isj easier to keep sanitary. These* all wire hutches are made frorr welded wire with the bottoms o 1 "X1-" and the sides and to., from 2"Xl" wire. A hutch 30?j deep. 36" long and 18" high i^ ample in size It should if used outside have some sort of roof over it to protect your bunny from the elements and it is also best to place it on legs above the ground A door, in the front: large enough to accommodate a nest box completes the hutch; For And About Teenagers IT'S '.l.t TV THIS WEEKS LETTER: I feel as though I have a problem many teenagers are facing.
