Those retaining standard time are Harvard, Hebron, Rich­ mond, Marengo, Huntley and Algonquin, while Woodstock, McHenry, Fox River Grove, Crystal Lake and Cary have adopted daylight saving time.

RTE. 120, McHENRY, ILL. astronomy for the first time this summer. The four-credit course will be taught in evening sessions three days a week by MCC instructor Brian Koleto. Koleto explains the course will be divided into four sections of study. The first will focus on the history of astronomy and the second on our own solar system, he said. The third section will deal with other stars and galaxies including discussion of quasars, black holes, pulsars and neutron stars. The final section. Koleto said, will involve Cosmology, the study of what we think happened in the universe a long time ago and what we think is going to happen in the distant future. Those who sign up for the class should have had high school algebra, Koleto said, but he added the course will not be as rigorous as many other science courses He said he hopes to include field trips in the class There will be some use of telescopes in the lab sessions. Many of those who have already signed $ up for the course are local residents who are interested in learning more about astronomy rather that current MCC students, Koleto noted. There is nothing that you can do to make a man believe something he doesn't want to believe. SUPER SAVINGS On Hearing Aids Deciding On A Hearing Aid Isn't Easy -- Deciding Where To Buy It Should Be!

The North Central association accreditation team, consisting of four administrative and teaching members from out-of-state community colleges, gave the college a quality stamp for adequately fulfilling goals set by the college it­ self. Accreditation is a process of voluntary self- regulation designed to im­ prove the quality of the college. The team told the staff and trustees that they will make a recom­ mendation to the North Central association that MCC's status as an ac­ credited college be reaf­ firmed and be reexamined in 1986. By state law. the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) evaluates the policies and procedures of all Illinois community colleges every six years. The compliance-type evaluation takes place to determine if the college qualifies for state funding.
