For many months the school has had to put up with 51 clocks and a master clock that do not work properly. For months the clock In the Board of Trustee's meeting room has read 6:30 p.m. The board approached the state Capital Devdop- ment Board to see if financing was available tor repair 3r replacement, but learned uiat the stale has no funds for the problem. College officials were told that the state could pursue tegal action against the contractor on the clocks project, but that might take several years, and even If successful would probably only pay to repair a "ques- clock system." The state also suggested that the college might seek a legislative appropriation, but that, too, was a doubtful solution. Capital Development officials said.

The upshot of the time problem is that the school will pay $3,866 and trade in Its present broken docks for a new system to the clock supplier, Scheurman Radio Company of Decatur. Scheurman was not the electrical contractor on the project, nor does It manufacture the system. College officials hope the new clocks work. Time will tell maybe. Phone Problem At College The Rend Lake College Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to file a formal complaint with the Illinois Commerce Commission asking it to investigate the school's telephone service and to require the Continental Telephone Company to upgrade its ser- viae so that the system works properly.

For several years the college has been plagued with inadequate telephone service, according to board attorney Don Muslck. He said Tuesday that the school had chosen in the past to work informally with Continental to obtain better service. Muslck said he had been told that that attempt had been made, and that the college had installed additional lines as suggested by the telephone company. But the phones still do not work. School of flclals cited such problems as incoming calls which do not ring at the school and calls In which the outside party Is not connected properly to the school phones.

Hop At Park Friday There will be a hop Friday In the Holland W. Lewis Community Building in city park from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Admission is $1. The hop is sponsored by The city Parks and Recreation Department and Southern Illinois Audio.
