PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNSEDAY, APRIL 30, 1975 TIE VOTE DELAYS MCC OFFICER SELECTION (Continued from page 1) for the 1975-76 school year, Hogge recommended using a 5 or 6 percent increase in assessed evaluation for 1975. Hogge also explained that the earliest possible time tax bills would be „out would be sometime in July. He, said it could even be later if the County board passes a motion made *at a recent meeting by Cal Skinner, Sr., of Crystal Lake to equalize assessments in McHenry county by town­ ships. Hogge said he was going to present to the Finance com­ mittee what he felt was a good argument for not getting in­ volved in total equalization of each township with separate factors for every township in the county. He felt there might be four or five townships out of the seventeen that could require some equalization. Hogge prefers using a median type of assessment so it would balance itself out as far as total assessed evaluation is concerned. Trustee William Ryan asked about the possibility of .using early estimates of tax bills so that school districts would not have to issue tax anticipation warrants and could save considerable money by eliminating interest charges. Hogge said Lake county used it last year for the first time and he heard reports they were not happy with it. He said he realized that school districts are "caught in a bind" when tax bills are late but he pointed out that there are 72,000 parcels of property in the county. If early estimated tax bills were sent out, there would be two mailings instead of one. "This would add a tremen­ dous amount of postage and mailing costs," Hogge em­ phasize^,. "I question the ad­ visability of early assessments also because of the tremendous change in our lands which we have at all times," he said. He felt that from the taxing standpoint, "we really don't gain anything at all." The savings that might be gained by schools in the fact that they would have the money early and would not have to issue tax warrants and pay interest, would be more than eaten up by mailing, postage and bookkeeping costs, Hogge stressed.

He said to hold these discussions in closed session was against the Open Meetings act of Illinois. He cited a court case recently which ruled a school board was wrong in holding wage negotiations in closed sessions. Board Attorney William Carroll explained that the court case in question stated that after the negotiation period is over "and you are not con­ sidering employing, appointing or firing employees but are just setting wages, "it is not proper to do that in executive or private session. e Exceptions where a board can hold private sessions, "but you don't hav£ to, "are collective negotiating matters between public employees, employers or their represen­ tatives, Carroll said. On a roll call vote of Smith's motion to discuss negotiations in open session, Smith, Weidner and Ryan voted yes and Lutter, Leahy and Pautz said no. The motion failed. A motion to approve a Senior Citizen tuition policy passed by a vote of 5 to 1. The policy states that the qualifying age for senior citizen tuition is set at 60 and that a tuition rate of $5 per credit hour for state reim­ bursable programs and $10 per credit hour for programs which are not state reimbursable be established at MCC. This amQunts to a two-thirds reduction which becomes ef­ fective with the summer session which starts June 9. Trustee Tom Leahy of Woodstock voted against the motion because he felt some senior citizens were better able to pay the regular tuition than some 19, 20 or 21-year-old students. Trustee Gerald Smith of Woodstock also expressed the opinion that he didn't feel special interest groups should be given special consideration because it was unfair to students who are "scraping by" to pay foi their education. However, he did vote in favor of the motion. Dr. James Davis, college president, mentioned that of seven junior colleges in the surrounding area, six had special tuition rates for senior citizens. In other business. Dr. Davis reported that all four walls of the Applied Science building at the new campus are up and the architects feel that building will be ready for occupancy by Aug. 15. Student Trustee Tom Amettis reported that an election will be held on campus May 2 for the purpose of electing a student representative for the MCC board for the 1975-76 term.

SOIXANTE- QUINZE en SOIXANTE- QUINZE "Seventy F've in Seventy Five" ELGIN YOUTHS CLIMB RADIO TOWER AS LARK (Continued from page 1) Inspection of the offenders' vehicle produced an American flag which was found on the rear window ledge. When asked where it came from, the of­ fenders said it had been taken from a pole somewhere bet­ ween Lake Geneva and Hebron. In retracing their ro,ute, deputies discovered that the flag had been removed from a' pole at Crown Industries, Inc., 12603 State Line road, Hebron. Further inspection revealed eight windows of a trailer used as an office building had been broken, along with a floodlight. Two of the offenders were found to be using drivers' licenses for identification which were not their own. As a result, numerous charges were brought against the four youths. Charles Apple was arrested for disorderly conduct, unlawful use of driver's license, theft and criminal damage to property. His bond was set at $3,025. Jay Halgerson was charged with disorderly con­ duct, theft and criminal damage to property with bond set at $2,025. Scott Ziegler was arrested for theft, unlawful use of driver's license, criminal damage to property and curfew violation with bond set at $3,025. James Hill was charged with theft and criminal damage to property with bond set at $2,000. All are to appear in court May 8. The female, companion was released without charges since she had not participated in any of the offenses, deputies said. SET LAW DAY OBSERVANCES (Continued from page 1) continue to be made each year toward fulfillment," continued Hecht. Both chairpersons cited an American Bar association observation that "nearly 200 years after the founding of our country, the U.S. Constitution has proved to be alive and well - even in the wake of the Watergate tragedy. Damaging as the affair has been, it provides a classic example and a reassuring lesson for all Americans that our system can withstand attack, and correct itself." MUSIN ' AND > MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) pace with a natural aptitude for the stage. Versatile dancers and orchestra added immeasurably to the performance, although individually these contributors too often provide their service without applause. But behind all of these were the women and men who directed the efforts of youth to provide something ex­ traordinary for the public. Briefly, this amounted to a combination of talent, patience, perseverance and hard work. The students who draw raves from an audience (and for that matter adults also) do not always display the self- discipline or responsibility in the pre-performance weeks of rehearsals. Regardless of age, there remains in most per­ formers a bit of procrastination and nonchalance that is only dispelled by the approach of opening night. It is these times when directors are called upon to exert the authority that results in a finished product. This authority can be the important ingredient that assures professionalism so much en­ joyed byJthe viewer. Next weekend, as adults take to the stage at West campus, McHenry area youth will star in the Marian high school presentation of "Music Man". This is another opportunity to see local young talent in action. K.A.F. CHORAL CLUB IN MAY PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) and ensembles will be attired in keeping with the themes.

Accompanists are Mary Ann Sharp, Jean Neumann and Joan Murphy. Tickets are available from members at the same price as in the past, or may be pur­ chased at the door. Details appear in an ad appearing elsewhere in this issue. FATALITY BRINGS COUNTY TRAFFIC TOLL TO TEN (Continued from page 1) on Bull Valley road, one- fourth mile east of Curran road, west of McHenry, resulted in injury to Philip T. Voight, Route 1, Round Lake. He was taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad where he was treated and released. According to deputies, Voight was riding his motorcycle along with five other motor­ cyclists west-bound on Bull Valley road when a van driven by Gerald H.Hogan of 7117 Crystal Springs road, Crystal Lake, started to pull around the riders.
