Carbondale council rejects Diederich parcels pull from district
In Carbondale a 3-2 vote refused to remove 506 and 510 West Main Street from the downtown redevelopment district. Officials warned such a move could set a bad precedent and hinder negotiations with the Carbon dale Savings and Loan. The council also declined to repeal the block's district designation, while noting no redevelopment plans have been filed by either party.

Shaw criticizes IBHE budget method over faculty raises
SIU Chancellor Kenneth Shaw urged the Illinois Board of Higher Education to change its funding base for faculty and staff raises, arguing the 10.5 percent increase should not be calculated on a reduced 90 percent salary base. The IBHE approved a 1.28 billion operating budget for 1982, with 10.5 percent raises funded on a 90 percent base, saving about 4.8 million but requiring SIU to offset via cuts or higher tuition. Shaw warned the move understates needs and could force eliminations or service reductions unless offset by state funds.

Herrin planners deny zoning for equipment business again
Herrin Plan Commission voted 9 to 2 to reject Kenneth Ferrell's request for business zoning in the 2400 block of North Park Avenue amid neighborhood opposition. Neighbors say the mining equipment yard devalues properties, calling it a junk yard. Ferrell appealed with Knapp Oil Co consent, but city rules require owner of record to file rezoning requests. The panel also recommended approvals for a mobile home site, a photography studio, and an apartment building, with final action to city council imminent.
