J College Presents Students I * ( [Chance For Experimentation A lump of clay becomes a pot at McHenry County college as instructor Sue Galloway, left, shows pot throwing techniques to Jeanne Dooley, MCC art student from Woodstock. High school graduates who ar.en't sure which career they want to pursue make up a good percentage of the students at McHenry County college. The college encourages students who aren't sure of their goals to try out different programs. "You can get an idea of what you want to do. The nice thing is you can come to a community college like MCC and experiment," says Sue Galloway, an instructor in MCC's art department. Two of the students studying pottery with Ms Galloway at MCC are good examples of those trying to find their life's work. Jeanne Dooley, a Woodstock resident, originally came to MCC planning to go into graphic arts. By taking classes she found she was not fond of that field and switched to studying pottery, photography, drawing and watercolors She has decided to transfer to a four-year university, Arizona State, next fall and work for a degree in fine arts. Debbie Keeler, of Crystal Lake, is really fond of pottery, but she is still trying out other courses to find her career. This senriester she is studying speech and police science hs Well continuing a study of pottery that began while she was in high school. A first year student at MCC, she talks of finding work that involves communicating with people or of having her own art studio. A good portion of the students enrulled in Joe Arimitsu's photography classes at the college are also just trying photography on for size. Arimitsu estimates that fifteen out of eighty students enrolled in the two photography courses he teaches plan to become professional photographers Many of the others are adults Working in other fields who want to learn photography as a hobby. Ms. Dooley now talks of photography as the art she enjoys most, but pottery, and pen and ink drawing are run­ ning a close second and third. Her experiences studying under Arimitsu led to her summer job last year as a photographer where she took old-fashioned tin type photos for visitors of a massive theme park. Iji the photography program at MCC she studied film processing as well as the composition of pictures in the two photography courses of­ fered. At the present time she's working in independent study of photography under Arimitsu to expand her knowledge and her portfolio of pictures before she transfers to Arizona State. In ceramics both Ms. Dooley and Ms. Keeler have finished the course offered at the college and are continuing to expand their knowledge under in- nJbr xvV dependent study for additional credit Ms. Galloway explains the two young women and other students in her classes learn hand forming, slab and coil building of pots in the first few weeks of the course before progressing to work on the twelve pottor's wheels. "Everything in pottery is harder than it looks. Getting the techniques takes longer V than you would think. But once you do get it it is really a good feeling to be competent," she says. With a minimum of six hours per week in the lab courses like photography and pottery, students get a real taste of what they are studying. Ms. Keeler, who is working towards an associate degree, says pottery gives her a chance to "escape to a different world, to communicate and let yourself show". Ms. Dooley has spent almost all of her time at MCC studying in different art classes now that she has found her interest. While she hasn't completed enough work at MCC for an associate degree, most of the credits she earned will be transferable when she enrolls at Arizona State. Ms. Galloway said other students who experiment more before finding their career often complete work for the two-year degree because their interests got them involved in more courses. Ms. Dooley notes that some of her high school friends who couldn't understand why she didn't enroll in a four-year college upon graduating from high school at age seventeen are now telling her they don't like the major they have chosen at a four-year school. She, on the other hand, is ready to pick her field after giving several a try at-MCC. One day, a teacher took a nap during class. When he woke up he explained that he had an ap­ pointment with Confucius in dreamland. The next day, a "pupil followed the professor's* exam­ ple and was reprimanded for sleeping during class. "But I too had an appointment with Con­ fucius," the student said. "And he told me he didn't see you yesterday," the student added. Mulligatawny Soup A One-Dish Meal One-dish meals are a blessing to the busy cook. That's why rich soups hearty with meat often find their way to the din­ ner table as main courses.

Mundelein) has introduced a novel death penalty bill which offers 'con­ victed murderers the optional right to defer the date of their execution five years as "a safeguard against human error." As he introduced House Bill 251, Deuster explained "the death penalty should be part of our criminal justice system for two reasons: One, it will deter some murders, and thus save nnocent lives; secondly, death is a just penalty for those murders which are unusually v i c i o u s , p r e m e d i t a t e d , aggravated, or brutal." D e u s t e r a p p r e c i a t e s , however, that judges and juries are subject to human error, and "an innocent person could be sentenced to death." For this reason. House Bill 251 contains an unique provision that the convicted killer can elect to remain incarcerated on death row for five years "in the hope that his innocence can be demonstrated by the discovery of new evidence during this reasonable period of mercy." The Deuster death penalty bill permits the state to seek the death penalty under ten specific aggravating cir­ cumstances: 1. Knowing murder of a policeman or a fireman; 2. Murder of prison or jail guard; 3. Multiple killings; 4. Hijacking of airplanes., trains, or public conveyances: 5. Contract killings; 6. Murder in the course of rape, robbery, arson, burglary, or deviate sexual assault; 7. Murder for pecuniary gain; 8. Murder of judges, prosecutors, or witnesses; 9. Murder during attempted escape; and, 10 Murder involving bombs: or other hazardous devices involving great risk of life to the public. The Illinois House Committee on Judiciary II is conducting hearings now on Deuster's bill (H.B. 251) as well as proposals by Rep. Roman Kosinski <D. Chicago), House Bill 10; and by Rep. Herbert Huskey <R. Oak Lawn) House Bill 74 Cost of Fires Fires cost the United States ap­ proximately $4.4 billion last year.
