Memorial Day gave rise to a fledgling college in Herrin
Odum recalls the early Herrin campus founded after John A. Logan designation and 1968 election. Logan College opened in 1968 with Ivey as president, hosting classes at Herrin High School and two churches. By 1969 voters approved a $2.8 million bond for a permanent campus north of Carterville, with interim buildings and bustling move-in despite a muddy, rain-saturated summer.

Illinois coal growth despite nuclear switch eyed amid regulations
Illinois EPA official Patrick Lynch told Carbondale Rotary that nuclear growth has cut coal markets but the coal industry should expand in the 1980s. He cited state plants planned using Illinois coal, potential purchases rising about 14 million tons annually, and delays in nuclear build due to safety, costs, and waste issues. He noted hearings on Commonwealth Edison’s low-sulfur coal switches and possible orders under the Clean Air Act to protect Illinois coal demand.
