Inmate with longest death sentence to be released
David Shanks, an inmate at Menard, is to be released this month after 44 years under the death sentence for the 1923 Chicago schoolteacher murder. His sentence was commuted in March by Gov. Richard Ogilvie at the request of corrections chief Peter B. Bensinger, who noted Shanks is elderly, ill, and not a risk to others. He will go to a shelter care home with no known relatives, funded by the Shanks family, and will use a wheelchair. The record shows ages 60 or 71 and notes the historical use of lunatic designations in the 1920s.

HEW probe at SIU uncovers complex discrimination case
The U S Department of Health Education and Welfare study team visiting Southern Illinois University Carbondale will review charges of sex discrimination by staff assistant Carolyn Weiss in the Cartographic Laboratory. Weiss contends she was hired to replace a man at higher pay and given faculty voting rights while facing termination after fund cuts. She filed charges in August 1971, and HEW officials expect a ruling within weeks. Weiss, with a geography masters, argues she is underutilized and that male and female staff assistants with advanced degrees show gender and appointment disparities. The case highlights the complexities HEW faces in evaluating such claims.
