Illinois Senate backs ethnic history teaching bill
The Illinois Senate approved a conference committee report backing a watered down bill mandating teaching of the roles of American Negroes and other ethnic groups in school history. Gov. Kerner will decide. The measure lacks enforcement power and passed largely along party lines with Democrats opposing and Republicans supporting. College students will assist staff at Anna State Hospital in a summer mental health program. About 75 students with one year of college completed and current enrollment will participate in clerical and manual tasks.

Long sessions planned in Illinois Legislature to act on bills
Unusually long sessions were set in the Illinois House and Senate to push action on more than 1 000 bills before the Wednesday deadline. Leaders Arrington and Smith signaled possible further night sessions and possible deadline extension. The focus includes tax increases and ethics bills governing state employees and lobbyists. Open housing, reapportionment, and congressional map bills also loom as key items.
