Davis, Dr. Richard E. Whalen, and the Board of Education plan for the development and future of MCC. Working together, Dr. Davis and Dr. Whalen determine the needs of the expanding college. This year these needs made necessary an increase in tui- tion, enfective next fall. Well qualified to offer advice on college affairs, Dr. Davis himself served as dean of MCC from 1953 to 1955. He is thoroughly familiar with the policies, problems, and potential of Moline's junior college. Because his office is nearby in Allendale, it is especially convenient for the superintendent to work closely with Dr. Whalen in planning school policy. All final decisions pertaining to MCC are made by the Board of Education, which has under its jurisdiction the twenty-five schools of the Moline Public Schools. Comprised of several members each, two committees deal with contrasting topics. The Business Committee is occupied with finances, the Education Committee with teaching staff and curriculum. The Board of Education controls policies of the Moline Public Schools. Members are Stoddard Small, Richard Shrader, Calvin Ainsworth, Dr. Dwight Davis, President M. W. Faust, Assistant Superintendent and Secretary of the Board Melvin Reynolds, Henry Parsons, john Morgan, and Ralph Johnson. l

.onfer in Directing Growth of MCC W sl ef ggi Q W DR. RICHARD E. WHALEN Southern Illinois University, B.S. University of Mississippi, M.A. Indiana University, M.S., Ed. D. Deniz of Moline Community College Administrators of Moline Community College place emphasis on both college credit and adult vocational education courses. This policy is evidenced by the creation of the position, director of technical, voca- tional, and adult education. Filled by Mr. L. Everett Belote, this job demands a full time faculty member. More proof of interest in adult education may be found in the fact that the technical program is being executed at two locations. Now, vocational education courses are made available not only at MCC, but also at the new Moline Senior High School. Because the administration feels that a full time instructor offers definite advantages over a part-time one, it has originated a full time teaching position whenever possible. It must be remembered that four full time teachers can replace sixteen part-time instruc- tors, in fact, this exact substitution took place at the beginning of the second semester. A total of six full time teachers were added to the staff this year, bringing the number to sixteen. In addition, faculty members have been appointed to head most of the departments. Carrying this same policy a step further, Dr. Whalen, Dr. Davis, and the school board have added a full time head coach to the faculty next year. To offer a greater variety of college credit courses at a junior college, the administration employs part- time instructors. This year fifty-five teachers com- prised MCC's part-time faculty. The program at MCC this year has been expanded in several areas: more full time instructors, new equip- ment, and increased facilities represent growth in the curricula. Employment in the college has reached a record high. Including instructors, office assistants, and cafeteria and custodial help, eighty-eight persons cur- rently are working at the college.
