The new requirements are the toughest in the country. A Comical view The board's resolution is a areat one for public education in Ill inois. For years, students in the state's public school systems have been Jack ing in their hlah school educations and, subsequently, in their college educations. This has been proven by low test scores in high schools and tbe areater need for remedial assistance when students enter college. The board's executive director. Richard Wagner said, "It is a clear message to people in the state of Illinois thill we need to improve the academic preparation of students going to college." The new standards will effect entrance requirements at 10 Illinois state institutions: The standards are: four years of high school English, three years of social studies. three years of mathematics. three years of labora tory science and two years of a foreign language. art o r music. The Chicago Board'of Education must also review it's graduation re quirements which include four years of English. three years of social studies. two years of mathematics aQd o ne year of science. Also, the new requirements will include community college programs, which lead to four.year institutions. by the fall o f 1990. The board passed the resolu tiOQ by a 14·1 vote. Board member Wil liam Forsythe. Jr., of the University of Illinois. was the only dissenting member. Forsythe said that individual colleges and universties should continue to set•their own guidelines for admission. Another argument against the new standards is that vocational enroll -- -- ~ ment would decrease and cause a significantly higher number of dro pouts. Wagner offered the best answer to critics, " ... for at least two decades, high school students in Illinois have had an almost unrestricted opportu nity to pursue inaividual inrcr Advisor Les Brownlee Editor-in-Chief Rudy M.

For instance, weather conditions never would be a problem with a retractable roof. Who would o f have thought of it ? The new stadium would be modern and sophisticated like all the o ther big-time stadiums in other cities. Devout fans could " ooh and aah" at the development of modern technology. The fans could marvel at the lights, the grandeur of it all, the scoreboard that really lights up and the multicolored seating arrangement. • There would be ample parking. No more going to a game and worrying about the dreaded parking ticket a fter you've cheered on your favorite team. Wrigley Field never had enough parking and it never will as long as triJ the "I shall not be moved" residents remain. When you really think about it, the friendly confines of Wrigley Field are plopped down right in the middle of a north side neighborhood. Comiskey Park is no bener. TheVi5ummi Who wants to park on a dirt road four blocks away from the park. C hi cago fans deserve better treatment than this. Construction of the stadium would provide temporary jobs and some permanent jobs depending on seasons and the stadiums needs. Let's build it. It might boost the morale o f some non-Chicago fans. It may even give a boost to our teams as well. By Karl Cunningham Public Broadcasting variety best for television viewing Okay. So what does network television have to offer now? Nothing, but maybe the local 10 p .m. newscast. Chicago's Public Broadcasting Service, WTTW Channel II, is the best by far for televisio n view ing. Network programming has positively no harvest for this season's hungry television viewer. The likes of "old hat" violence, sex and the dated "TV blooper" series has lost its savor. The only good alternative, except for those who are blessed with cable television, is PBS Channel II. PBS offers a wide variety of shows which are educational yet entertain ing for children and adults. For the businessperson, there is the "Nightly Business Report, " ·an extensive look at the day's industrial, commercial :: and agricultural developments. Along with the business report are other business-related programs such as the "McNeil-Lehrer News Hour" and the "Washington Ro und Table." WTTW's diverse programming is no match for commercial network television. There is at least one show for everyone's specific area of inter est. Such shows as "Nova," "Nature," "Wild World of Animals," and children's programming like "Sesame Street" and "Mr. Roger's Neigh borhood," as well as, " Doctor Who" for the sci-fi buffs have developed an intellectual cult following. There are shows for chefs, students and the The. Bvc.K 5top.s Here·-· family. " Image Union" is for the film fanatics. The list goes on. Public television could be the answer to the television viewer's quest for information, education and entenainment.

L.------...1 PAGE 8 December 16, 1985 By Charlene Lloyd Jacqueline Jones Christmas shopper Nancy Yulch left home at 8 a.m. to get an early start on the.post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas shopping crowd, only to realize that she and severailhousand others at State Street Mall had the same idea. " I knew there would be a lot of people, but I didn'i think so many would be out this early," Yulch said. "At this rate I'll never get my shopping done. I'll probably have to go some place else," she said. Shoppers Eileen Burkswood and Lisa Davies figured they would wait as late at 4 p.m. before heading down to State Street. - "We figured we would avoid the crowd by giving it a chance to thin out. I had no idea the crowd would be so large 4t this time," Burkswood said. Although shoppers Yulch, Burkswood and Davies and many others were stunned by the huge shopping crowd, which grew to more than one million before the days end, others like Charles Pratt, a retired carpenter of 40 years, enjoyed the crowd. " I love the crowd, people are so much nicer, happier and full of cheer this time of year," said Pratt. "If you plan on shopping on State Street for Christmas, there is no thing as dodging a crowd, day or night," he said. · most shoppers weren't prepared for the huge crowd$, the stores State Street were. "We expected a large crowd and prepared ourselves by hiring more workers and making sure we had a large stock of merchandise," saia Lawrence Rosen, Executive Vice-President of Wieboldts. "Over one hundred-thousand people walked into our stores," said . Rosen. "Our most popular selling items this Christmas are: V-neck sweaters, over sized sweatshirts, cassette recorders and stuffed teddy bears." While .there aren't any "hot selling" items, such as Cabbage Patch Dolls, this season, Paul Costello, Director of Public Relations for Mar shall Fields on State Street said, "The Teddy Ruxpin Talking Teddy Bear, which sings, tells stories and nursery rhymes, is one of our biggest sellers this Christmas." The bear, which sells for $80, has been in such demand, it has already sold out at Fields. "However, to our surprise, Chicago Bears' Defensive tackle/fullback Christmas shoppers literally "crowd" Water Tower Place in search of gi fts. MERRY December16, 1985 PAGE9 Chicago William "Refrigerator" Perry items, have been our biggest success. Perry hats, shirts, toys and other accessories are selling extremely well,' said Rosen. Perry, the popular rookie, will make a personal appearance at Wie boldts on Stale Street, Wednesday, Dec. 18, to promote a line of Chicago Bears' toys and accessories. The State Street Crowd may have gotten to some, but others like Joey Michealson, 5, and Steven Windham, 6, did not seem to mind the crowd at all as their fathers held them high on their shoulders in front of Mar shall Fields to capture a view of Santa Claus. While Joey and Steven watched from the outside, Karren Anderson, 6, and nearly one hundred others waited almost two hours to get a chance to meet with Santa on a personal basis. Karren and mother Eunice, had been waiting in line for nearly an hour and a half before Eunice decided she couldn't wait any longer, but, daughter Karren insisted that they stay until she spoke with Santa. When asked what she had to tell Santa, Karren replied, " I want to tell Santa that I have been a good girl all year (as her mother laughs) and all I really want are Cabbage Patch Twins for me, my sister and my cousin. And a "My Buddy" doll for my brother so he won't want to play with ours.'' While others waited to see Santa, many others just came to admire the traditional window displays considered by many to be the main attrac tion of the mall. " One of our strengths this year is the window display," said Costel lo. "Along with television and radio advertisments, our window decora tions are a great asset in promoting the store and generating a lot of activity," He- said. While Santa and other displays are a big attraction for C hristmas shoppers, the day after Thanksgiving ended in cheers with the traditional lighting of the city's 90-foot Christmas tree. Over 5000 people jammed into Daley Plaza to see Mayor Harold Washington flip-the-switch which lit 7000 Christmas tree li.ghts and cheered as 17,000 sparkling lights lit up throughout the State Street Mall. With only nine shopping days before Christmas, retailers are expecting consumers to spend niore this year than last year. This year, the average family is expected to spend $315 on Christmas presents, up from $300 last year. The Chicago Transit Authority has added more buses and trains to their usual routes to accommodate Christmas shoppers. JrjpUy at Daley Center Plaza, while ol' St. :e io the Christmas parade.
