FMCA Convention Spurs Du Quoin Business Boom
About 6 000 people in 1 500 motor coaches visited the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds for the FMCA gathering. Kenneth Cook values campers’ spending at roughly 175 000 dollars with local merchants benefiting through increased sales. Green's IGA nearly doubled weekly sales and Du Quoin Food Park saw a 50 percent rise on several days amid a sidewalk sale and reports of campers cleaning out Barron’s Men and Boys Clothing Store.

SIU-C hires rise in mid-levels while faculty and staff fall
An SIU-C employment analysis covering May 1972 to May 1973 shows mid-level administrators increasing to 497 men and 164 women, with most gains in women. Faculty numbers drop from 3,647 to 2,952, driven by the loss of part-time cooperating teachers and many graduate assistants. Civil service staff fall from 1,926 to 1,889, and student workers decline from 3,327 to 3,276. Total employees stand at 8,157 for 1973, down from 8,900. The report notes shifts in black and white staff and administrators, plus a May salary rise pattern, while top admin figures were not immediately available.
