The center has found a slightly larger location at 7714 Takoma Ave. The new facility has three rooms for the varied' activities as well as a larger outdoor play area. Along with this new facility, the maintenance staff under Harry Packard, Business Manager, has built extra blocks, a slide, bookshelves, monkeybars, and a housekeeping corner with stove, sink, and radiator covers. Staff changes are also evident. Ann Goldstien, a graduate student at Bowie State College and the former assistant director, has assumed the director position after Ruth Gump, the origin a l director, moved out of state. Marlene Nochumowitz, a U.'of Md. graduate, has filled the assistant director position. Enrollment and Program Changes Also, the enrollment has-grown. At first there were only 13 children. Within six weeks it grew to 30 and now the center boasts 42. Attendence varies during the day with no more than 17 children at one time. The program is basically the same, although it changes and grows with each idea. Change in Financial Status The biggest change is the fi- M.C. Tuition Is Highest In Md. By Jean Bowyer Montgomery County has the highest tuition of any o f the 16 community colleges in . Maryland for in-county residents. Maryland residents, and out-of-state residents. The schools which most closely follow M.C.’s in-county residency rate of $20 per semester hour are Anne Arundel Community College and Chesapeake Community College with $17 per semester hour. Two commu n ity ' colleges, Frederick and Garreft. compete for the lowest tuition and have a $12 per semester hour rate. Allegany Community College is not far behind with $12.50. The school which compares closest to Montgomery College in Maryland -residency tuition (outside of the county where the Chanukah Party Is A Big Hit With All school is located, but in Md.) is Anne Arundel Community College with $38 per semcstei hour.. Montgomery College chafg£§ $45. The least expensive Maryland residency tuition is Garrett Community College with $20 per semester hour. People , who live outside of Maryland pay $70 per semester hour to attend M.C. Anne Arundel follows with $68 per semester hour, and the lowest is Garrett with $40 per semester hour. It may be interesting to note that only three o th e r schools require their students to pay parking fees — Chesapeake. Hagerstown, and Howard Community Colleges. The tee at these three colleges is $ 1.00 per semester, compared to M.C.’s $ 10.00 per year. The activity fees for full-time students at Montgomery College ($ 1 2 per semester at Takoma Park and $15 per semester at Rockville) are about average compared to the other community colleges. The highest activity fee is $25 at Allpgany Community College; the rest are. either $10. $12 or $15 per semester. Ten of the community colleges charge lab fees, which Montgomery college does not. nancial status of the center. When it first opened, the center was given initial financial support from the College’s Office of Community Services and th e , Campus Student Ac tiv itie s Fund. After that, it was to be self-supporting. Referring to the Center’s, financial statements. Ann Goldstien reveals that the Center went from very large monthly ‘ losses to a small p ro fit. However.-she continues to explain that the profit never reached above $20. Therefore, the Center -is constantly under heavy pressure to break even. Financial Strain Makes Itself Evident In a memo sent to Dean Wiley and Director of Student Activities. Miss Kelley. Ms. Goldstien reported. “During the month of October, the Day Care Center suffered a loss in enrollment. This was due primarily to extensive illnesses among the children/and the withdrawal of, several parents from the college for personal reasons. To alleviate some of the financial strain caused by the drop in enrollment. I cut my Dwn h o u rs - from 40-31 hours per week, and my assistant Ms. Nochumowitz’s hours from 22 to 17 per week. .This was done in a manner that insured that no loss to the quality of child care would be suffered." This cut in hours is still in effect. Although the center is fairly well stocked with donated toys, there are still supplies needed. See DAY CARE, Page 2, Col. 2 By Michael Maier The Jewish Student Alliance’s well-publicized Chanukah Party held in the'cafeteria on November 25, included many young tots, their parents, great food, and top-notch entertainment. Chanukah, also known as the Feast of Lights, is first mentioned in the Book of Maccabees where it is told: “Now Maccabees and his company, the Lord guiding them, recovered the temple and the city; but the altar that the heathen had built in the open street and also the chapels they pulled down. When that was done they fell flat down, and besought the Lord that they pome no more into such troubles; but if they sinned more against him, that he himself would chasten them. with mercy, and they might not be delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations. And they kept eight days with gladness, as iri the feast, of tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they had-held the feast of tabernacles, when they wandered in the mountains and dens like beasts. They ordained also-by . common statute and decree, that everj; year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the Jews.” Two Ideals Today. Chanukah stands for two ideals: first, for the achievement of religious liberty and, secondly, in the minds of large masses of Jewry, for a revival of sentiment for the n a tio n a l development of the Jewish people. The Chanukah lights which were kindled in the large menorah on Tuesday night could almost be felt in the spreading festive spirit about the room, a spirit which was heightened by the addition of tra-ditional. latkes, a potato pancake that is eaten with apple sauce and sour cream. A truly special treat courtesy of Russ Hersh of J.S.A., an accomplished potato y and onion peeler, and his bevy of helpers, including Pam Hamburger, Leah Friedman who worked into the-wee hours to come up with the winning See CHANUKAH, Page 2, Col. 4 G.S.A. Dinner Is Held By Michael Maier The first- Gay Student Alliance dinner-dance on the Takoma Park Campus to raise -funds for the Gay Awareness Week December 8-12 was a rousing success. The guests and., members of the GSA who coordinated the affair paid a dollar for a scrumptious dinner featuring Janson’s Temptation, a potato casserole named for Eric Janson a Swedish religious reformer who preached rigorous asceticism to his followers no liquor and a diet that barely sustained life. One day, according to legend, a zealous Jansonist discovered the prophet feasting, secretively on a casserole of anchovies and potatoes bound together with golden butter and rich milk; hence the dish became known as Janson’s Temptation. Other tasty morsels, all prepared by the participants, included pilav (rice blended with shrimp and chicken) with pignon nuts, candied sweet potatoes, Boston baked beans, cowpoke beans, glazed baby carrots, an authentic Mexican chili con came, and for the piece de resistance, delectable poached - chicken . with lemon sauce. A delicious fresh garden salad of mixed green varieties included chopped chives and scallions. a small head of endive and for dessert a pumpkin pie See DINNER, Page 3, Col. 1 P h o to b y J e a n B ow y e r Laurie Freelove entertains at G.S.A. dinner
