IN THIS ISSUE:

CAMPUS NEWS:

* Budgetary decisions: As the university settles into the second 
month of the fiscal year, faculty and staff members on the Urbana 
campus face difficult choices about how to sustain quality instruction 
and services with fewer people and economic resources.

* Student Suicide: Evidence suggests that mandatory counseling for 
students who threaten or attempt to kill themselves has helped 
reduce the rate of suicide by more than half at Illinois.

* On the Job: Pat Ridinger, assistant director for assignments, Family 
and Graduate Housing Office, has worked at the UI for 27 years, 23 of 
those in the Division of Housing.

RESEARCH NEWS:
* Decreasing yields: Although rising ozone levels already reduce 
soybean yields, a study of the crop grown in projected 2030 levels 
has harvested more troubling results - a 20 percent yield loss - say 
UI scientists.

* Supersweet success: The history of UI's contribution to today's 
supersweet sweet corn will be featured at Agronomy Day on Aug. 21.
