Journal-Standard Pg. 6 April 9, T969 FOR, Mayor Discuss Five Complaints Mayor Joe D.

Shelly met with the cochairmen of Freedom of Residence, Lamorn Morris and the Rev. William Ping, Tuesday afternoon to discuss how to provide a hearing on five complaints by young people about police conduct. The FOR request for a hearing by the Human Relations Commission was referred to the mayor Monday evening by the City Council. Mayor Shelly suggested that the FOR chairmen might bring the complainants to his office. The mayor, corporation counsel and chief of police would hear evidence on both sides in the presence of the FOR representatives, and the mayor would attempt to bring about a solution.

This would provide a prompt hearing without postponement. Morris agreed to put this suggestion before the FOR executive board Friday evening. He said he had talked to James Pen-one of the Illinois Human Relations Commission. Morris said Perrone agreed with the view that these are not charges against individual officers, calling for Police and Fire Commission hearings, and said he would write Mayor Shelly to explain the nature of the hearing desired. Morris said what FOR wants is an impartial body to hear both sides and get an accurate picture of causes for antagonism arising between young people and the police when they occur.

He said FOR is not seeking disciplinary action but improved relations with the police. To Honor FOR Head Saturday A program patterned after "This Is Your Life" will honor Freedom of Residence (FOR) chairman Lamorn Morris Saturday at the Martin Luther King Center at 7 p.m. Members have staged the program to show their appreciation to Morris for the "untold amount of time, money and personal sacrifice he has made to Freeport." Morris has been FOR chairman for eight years. A cash gift is planned. HCC Leaders Map Future At Kiwanis The present and future outlook for Highland Community College was pictured by three HCC officials to the Freeport Kiwanis Club at its Tuesday noon meeting.

HCC President Kenneth Borland said the past two years have been spent in building a base for the upcoming expansion project, a new campus on the city's west edge. Sale of $4.2 million in bonds to build a accordance with state law governing the number of board representatives from an unincorpo- the campus and its buildings and programs as the most pressing problems and promises to work to complete the campus building program. Scheider: "One of the most pressing problems facing the college district is that of providing facilities, equipment and staff for a quality education and the viewpoint of a nonboard member and taxpayer. He says residents need to be informed of progress on the buildings and other community interest activities. Campbell: He lists the need for a campus, proper management of the tax dollar and greater unification of the school sys- growing student body." He jterns in the college district with points out operating a college in the college as pressing prob- rated area.

Questions low: and responses fol- 1. What do you see as the most pressing problem facing the college district and what do you propose to do about it? 11 different locations is a challenge to the board and administration. He also cites a constant need to develop, study and evaluate plans for the new campus buildings as a challenge. Clark: He cites general communications and the building Dr. Rachuy: He lists securing program as pressing needs from lems.

2. In what area of school administration do you believe you will have the most to offer the Highland board? Dr. Rachuy: He lists knowledge of "all facets of the college, both local and within the state" as assets. a member of the County Planning Scheider: He says he has the most to offer in the area of public relations, particularly in the reaching the most distant areas of the district. He says he will be able to represent the views of the farmer and rural resident and says as Stephenson Commission he is aware of economic, social and political problems in the area and can interpret them into policies that will best serve the district.

Clark: He says he has the most to offer in "the area involving staff personnel management" both in salary and tenure. He lists experience serving on the Teachers Committee of the Savanna Community High FLASHING SIGNAL LIGHTS were built into the resurrected stone wall on the east end of the Stephenson Street Plaza Tuesday. The signals are intended to warn motorists of the street's obstruction. The east-end wall has twice been felled by errant Photo. Courthouse Report Given Highland Center 'Suitable The building now serving as the Highland Community College Center at 511 W.

Stephenson St. Tuesday was termed "substantial and worth remodeling" for use as a Stephenson County Courthouse. At least $200,000 would be required to remodel the brick structure built in the 1950s Gunard Hans of the Madison, architectural firm of Weiler, Strang, McMullin Associates told the County Board's public building committee. The county's 90-day option on the building, owned by Lumber- man's Mutual Casualty expires June 30. The committee, headed by Romaine C.

Zipse, authorized Hans to prepare a proposal, to be presented at the April board meeting if possible, on the costs of preparing plans to convert the building to courthouse uses. HCC has been assured its lease will be extended to mid- 1971. In the study completed last year by the Madison architects, the supervisors were told the county needs about 30,000 square feet of gross space for Log Cabin Acquisition Proposed To Parfc Board If the Freeport Park District Board has its way, the city may be the owner of an authentic log cabin one of only three remaining in the state. The 105-year-old prized home was brought to the attention of the board Tuesday night by Dr. toward improvement of facil-1 that a stern warning for first of- ities.

He said the 17-by-22-foot-10- new campus early May. Two thousand inch model is located north of Damascus, and is the best of the three he visited.

The best part of Tucker's proposal though, is probably the fact that the cabin could be obtained without cost. Transporting the log cabin Freeport poses the biggest problem. The home, it was pointed out, might have to be partly dismantled to effect its move. A new roof, too, may be required. Site of the home at present is on the Lena Blacktop, 12 miles northwest of Freeport.

If obtained, the home would be put on display on the Stephenson County Historical Mu- vertisement for bids. board agreed to look into a complaint by Mrs. Shirley Maines, no address given, in the way in which her daughter's arrest was handled recently by the park policeman. She specifically objected to the procedures, summer program estimate at whereby her daughter was taken i the board's next meeting.

Campbell: He says he will be beneficial to the college "in all areas of the school administration. What I do not know, I am quite capable of learning." 3.

What' steps do you believe should be taken to encourage the residents of the college district to take greater advantage of the course offerings and other services available through Highland. What services, if any, should be added by the college? Rachuy: He said advertsing the offerings should encourage persons to take advantage of them. He says only those services necessary to the education of students should be offered at ihis time because of "facility saturation." Scheider: "Residents will take advantage of the course offerings when they are aware that Highland offers quality in con- education, vocational, and community services programs and when these 3 o-g a are offered conveniently to the student." He says the organization of a dis- trictwide advisory committee and the increase in extension courses may help. He also says recent creation of the posi- ion of dean of continuing education and community services hould help. He says the community service area should be studied to determine the needs and make citizens aware of available college services.

Clark: He says the residents will take an interest in the serv- i and course offerings 'where they know about them. Here again, it may be the lack of communication between the Deople and the college." He said public will respond if it is nformed and will utilize the services as it becomes familiar with the benefits obtained. "The school must do more to sell itself public, it must be kept in the public eye." Campbell: He says "proper conceptions should be calculated as to what is needed in our area." He said, "We then know what should be applied to enlighten our college district residents to strive for a greater area, and to offer sound conceptions for the betterment of mankind." Programs in humanitarianism, simplification of economics, sociology and psychology are needed, he says. 4. For what purpose should money from an increase in state aid, if there is any increase, be used? Rachuy: He said the money should be saved for new buildings since many expenses wil need to be met or the money should be used as a fund to avoic a new tax increase request.

Scheider: He says the finances of the college "have been and will continue to be in a strong position. Due to the unever source of funds, there is a neec to improve the cash-flow position of the college. If there is an increase in state aid, first priority should be given to strengthening this position." He says there is a need for and interes in associate degree programs for nursing and agricultural mech anics. "If possible, these shoulc be included in one of the future budgets." Clark: He says as a nonboard member and without previous knowledge of the priority of fu ture plans and projects estab lished by the board, "answering this question could only be matter of conjecture on my part I am sure that as a board mem ber of the Highland Community College, I would endeavor to see that it was used to the best ad vantage." Campbell: He said the money if received, should be used for the best interest of the college the community and the area i serves. Hospital News Births At Memorial Mr.

Hans said the HCC building has about 26,700 square feet of usable floor space with gross floor space estimated at 44,000 square feet. At the January board session, Zipse said the asking price for the college center was $475,000, which included parking space in the rear for about 50 cars.

Cost of new courthouse con- struction was estimated at $30 per square foot last May by the architects. Construction costs have shown increases since that time. Zipse said the County Board will be asked to decide on whether to employ the Madison architectural firm to complete the initial study on remodeling costs. It has been suggested that if the county decides to go through with the purchase that the county Public Building Commission float bonds as was done for the county jail in 1965.
