Hurley's Johnston City club faces license future amid nude dancing charges
Johnston City mayor Carter says Hurley's Show Bar risks closure after nude dancing and pornography charges. He notes past fights and injuries, calls the venue unsafe, and cites a 1998 murder tied to the bar as part of ongoing police trouble. Two men remain serving life for that murder. The city frames the issue as a county problem due to nonresidency within city limits.

SIUC faces reduced funding as enrollment falls, prompting plans to boost local exposure and export programs to Rend Lake and Shawnee colleges. Administrators propose department earning incentives and faculty mentorship to recruit new students, funded by existing tuition revenue. Chancellor Wendler warns marketing needs money, while system-wide aims hinge on stabilizing enrollments to support pay and Saluki Way projects. The IBHE shows Illinois public universities recruiting overall, with SIUC seeing a 13.2 percent decline amid gains at SIUE.
