Ai EXIT ONLY Li' Enrollment Continues To Grow Since 1994 Lewis and Clark Community College has been growing at an incredible rate, with enrollment increasing 35 percent in the past five years. And this semester, as Lewis and Clark prepares to cut the ribbon on its new Allied Health', Math Building, it is evident that the college has become a technology-based educational tool that more and more area residents are discovering each year. Statistics released in 2001 by the State of Illinois ranked Lewis and Clark as the fastest growing public college or university in Illinois. Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman said the growth continues to highlight the quality and value of the college's programs.

"Traditional students and adults understand the value of a Lewis and Clark education and how it can help them succeed in their occupation or academic career. Our faculty, staff, administrators and trustees look forward to helping students prepare for their futures, and the concern is evident in the success of our graduates," he said. Chapman added that the continual growth has occurred while the college continues to closely monitor its budget and remain below the state average cost for delivering a unit of instruction.

New changes in numbers of state highways is drawing some criticism As the enrollment continues to escalate at Lewis and Clark, college officials are expanding course offerings and enhancing classrooms and buildings to accommodate the educational and technological needs of the increasing student body. Most recently, Lewis and Clark has become the largest provider of Internet courses in the Metro East Area. With more than 70 online classes being offered this fall, Lewis and Clark students are sure to find an online course in their area of study that offers students the flexibility of taking a course when it is convenient for them. The flexibility in scheduling that online courses have to offer is just one reason why Lewis and Clark continues to work toward developing more online courses and programs, making education an option for anyone, regardless of their schedule.

Both Kaminsky and Pete Basola, the Music Department's new interim coordinator and Lewis and Clark's vice president of Enrollment Services, hope to generate a great deal of public interest in the music program at Lewis and Clark. "I know there are a lot of talented musicians in the community and on campus, who may not realize the opportunities that the music program at Lewis and Clark has to offer them. We offer a variety of band classes every semester for a variety of age and ability groups, such as orchestra, jazz band, concert band, the New Horizons Band and the Music Prep Program," Basola said. "These classes and programs are great for both students and community members, because many of them can be taken for college credit, or just for fun and practice."

Jersey Community High School's Director of Bands Cliff Kaminsky will be joining the Music Department at Lewis and Clark this fall as the new concert band director.

Kaminsky has taught music for 13 years in the Jersey school district, and he has directed the symphonic band, concert band, marching band, the jazz bands and a jazz combo. He also has taught classes in music theory and music appreciation, recruiting more than 180 students into the music program. "I am really looking forward to this new chapter in my professional life," Kaminsky said. "Lewis and Clark provides a number of activities and programs for its students and the community, and it's very exciting to be a part of this. I know there are many students on campus and people in the community who are looking for an outlet for their musical talent, and I hope they By Terry Hillig Murrayville to Godfrey was U.S.

67 Carrolton Medora 67 Jerseyville ILLINOIS (m) LCTV Wins A National Video Award trict 6 in Springfield, said that legislators, mayors, police departments, sheriffs departments and county engineers were all contacted about the changes. "We feel that we covered all the bases," Obertino said. "We anticipated some confusion." She said consternation is common in such situations. The changes were made not to confuse drivers or worry business owners but to reflect the fact that the former Illinois Route 267 which passes through Jerseyville, Carrollton, White Hall and Rood-house follows the same general alignment as a planned new four-lane highway between Godfrey and Jacksonville that will be designated U.S. Route 67.

IDOT officials thought that making the change now would be less confusing than making it later, Obertino said. The 45-mile segment will be part of a long-anticipated, major, north-south highway for western Illinois. "They could have given us a little better notice, but the road has been called 'Corridor 67' for five years," Jerseyville Mayor C. Jerome "Jerry" Wittman said. He said that he understands the concerns of those planning special events, like Jerseyville's Victorian Festival, Sept 1-3, but he figures that people will get used to the changes quickly.

The sign changes don't make any difference to local people who know their way around, said Sgt. Eric Decker of the Madison County Sheriffs Department. "I figured it would confuse visitors, but I haven't heard of anything," he said. Construction of bridges will begin on the Godfrey-Jerseyville segment of the new highway in two to three years, said Mary C. Lamie, program development engineer with IDOT's District 8 office in Collinsville.

Work on that highway is planned so that it its completion will follow that of an extension of Illinois Route 255, from Roxana to Godfrey. Three bridges needed MISSOURU-ZJT. Missouri Of the Post-Dispatch GODFREY Area officials say that the public should have been given more warning before the Illinois Department of Transportation changed route markings on the two major highways between Godfrey and Jacksonville. Signs went up earlier this month to reflect the new designations. What was formerly Illinois Route 267 is now U.S.

Route 67. What was formerly U.S. Route 67-Illinois Route 111 between Godfrey and Medora is now designated only as Illinois Route 111. The stretch of the former U.S. 67 north of Medora is now called Illinois Route 267.

IDOT officials said that they issued news releases on July 5 and talked with local officials along the highways before the changes began, the week of July 9. That may be, but the public didn't get the message, said Don Miller, president of the River Bend Growth Association. "You would think they would have made more people aware of it," he said. "I really think it was unusual to do it so quietly." Miller said businesses and organizations that publish maps or directions for customers and visitors will have to make revisions. "If someone tells you to take U.S.

67 to Brighton and you follow U.S. 67, you'll end up in Jer-seyville," he said. Jennifer Obertino, traffic operations engineer with IDOT's Dis ST.

The quality of videos is rated by a distinguished panel of judges representing video industry professionals from around the country. The video was produced for the service organization in 2000, and was used to help stimulate awareness in the community about date rape. The LCTV team of Brian Schrage, director and editor, and Mark Eilers, videographer, produced the award-winning video for the non-profit group.

LCTV has been a part of Lewis and Clark Community College since 1994. Since the department's inception it has grown from a resource for covering internal campus events for the Illinois 255 extension are under construction. The highway will link to U.S. Route 67 in Godfrey. Both the Roxana-Godfrey and Godfrey-Jerseyville highways are included in the state's five-year highway improvement plan, but the segment of the new U.S.

67 between Jerseyville and Jacksonville has not yet been included in the state's plans for transportation spending. Reporter Terry Hillig: E-mail: Phone: 618-659-3638 Lewis and Clark.
