Illinois children show mixed gains in life quality study
A Thursday release from Annie E Casey cites improvements in general well being among American children from 1996 to 2001, with Illinois posting higher median income than the national average in 2000 but higher infant mortality and child poverty than the national rates. The report notes 10 percent of Illinois high school students aged 16 to 19 dropped out in 2000, above the national 9 percent. Illinois infant deaths reached 8.5 per 1000, vs 6.9 nationally, while 1 to 14 year old deaths were 20 per 100,000 compared with 22 nationally.

Western Illinois University proposes graduate tuition guarantee
Western Illinois University seeks to extend its four year undergraduate cost guarantee to graduate students. If trustees approve, new graduate enrollees would lock in tuition fees and housing for four years starting this fall, a first among Illinois public or private universities. Governor Blagojevich supports the idea as a logical extension of cost predictability.
