Former MHCC board chairman
sees credibility gap
big house on the hill" which
doesn't need our help any
more?
These questions were posed
last week by Dr. Malcolm
MacGregor, recently retired
MHCC board chairman.
MacGregor told the board
that since his term expired, he
has talked to a lot of people
trying to find out where the
college's problems lie He was
referring, of course, to election
losses . . . four of them this

"A cred ib ility gap has
developed.” MacGregor told
the board -People think our
physical plant is almost too
beautiful We re looked upon as
the ‘big house on the hili' ”
He said the college must do a
better job of explaining how it
can continue to lose levy
elections and still continue to
operate He said amuch greater
effort should be made to meet
with opponents of the college,
instead of with proponents.
"There are pockets of real
bitterness." MacGregor said,
"and you must reach these ”
He also said a great many
people perceive teachers as
“ overworked and underpaid"

missioners have announced
that they will not seek Public
Works Title I funds to construct
a $3 million administrative and
emergency services building.
The beards decision was
based on the short time lines set
by the grant. Lack of time to
assess the needs and priorities
for future development of the
county’s governmental com
plex without citizens par
ticipation was a strong factor
that led to the decision, ac
cording to the commissioners.

and said this was symptomatic
of a growing rejection of higher

suggested that the College
might
emphasize
more
strongly
the
vocational-
technical opportunities it offers
and put less emphasis on
relationships with higher
eduction.
Finally, he said that doing
away with the college's sports
program, as recently suggested
by Board Chairman Kick
Gustafson, "would be a terrible
mistake and would be totally
demoralizing to the school "
MacGregor served a four
y e a r-te rm on the board,
retiring as board chairman last
spring.

The board will apply for two
smaller grants to expand
overcrowded juvenile and dog
control
facilities
presently
atuated at the complex. Grants
will also be submitted for
construction and renovation of
a building by the public works
department, historical society
and the fair board The ap
plications will total $1.5 million.
“ It is unfortunate that this
cnce-in-a-lifetime grant places
the heaviest burden upon those
who could benefit most from a
totally funded project," said
C o m m is s io n e r
R ober
Schumacher.
“ Areas suffering from tight
budgets can’t afford to develop
construction plans at sizeable
cost to the taxpayer in hopes
that
funding
m ight
be
available." he continued.
“ At a time when we closed
our library and parks, I feel it is
not in the best interest of our
citizens to gamble needed funds
in hopes that an application
would be funded."

According to the Atlas of

1911 to 1920, practically ceased
in the state after 1945.
