SIUC Leads State in Dorm Smoking Ban Ahead of Law
SIUC has long banned smoking in dorms and campus housing including fraternities and sororities. Gov Blagojevich signed a state law prohibiting smoking in all public and private college dorms and certain indoor campus areas.

Vann case hinges on video I investigation room tapes
Sawyer claims the suspect’s assertion was coerced by police and that a holding cell was used to satisfy a new Illinois rule requiring murder interviews to be recorded. The MP-4 tapes were copied to five five hour DVDs for Grace’s review to decide on the case. Reno and Gleason testified about a 2:50 to 3:30 p.m. Aug. 25 session where Vann spoke of being punched, described the death sequence as an accident, and sought an attorney before the interview ended.
