  • Draft River Stages in Illinois: Flood and Damage Data
    State of Illinois Pat Quinn Department of Natural Resources Marc Miller, Director Draft River Stages In Illinois: Flood and Damage Data August 2009 Illinois Department of Natural Resources Office of Water Resources INTRODUCTION There are hundreds of river gages that measure the stages of rivers throughout Illinois. These gages range from simple yardsticks, which must be read visually, to sophisticated recording devices which monitor numerous parameters with the data collected being transmitted by telephone or satellite communication link. These gages were set up at various times during the last 100 years. When each was established, an arbitrary starting point or "stage datum" was set up. The height of the river above this starting point was recorded as the river stage. In many cases, a "flood stage" was also established. Typically, this would be the level where the river goes out of its banks. There are two commonly misunderstood points about river stages. First, there is generally no relation between a river stage for one gage and that for another one on the same river. Second, there is often no correlation between flood stage and actual structural flood damages. Often, especially in a rural area, a river will go out of banks but floods only vacant ground. This manual is an accumulation of flood information for a small portion of the gages in Illinois. The manual lists the stages of past floods, the dates of occurrence, and damages known to occur. The gages are arranged in this manual alphabetically by river and from upstream to downstream along a river. Each gage has two or more pages of information.

  • Alpha Tau Omega – Gamma Zeta Classes of '67, '68
    Alpha Tau Omega – Gamma Zeta Classes of ’67, ’68, ’69 Unlike many fraternities that boast of being the “best,” Alpha Tau Omega relies solely on its record. In an article printed by the school newspaper, The Daily Illini, sports writer Chip Cirillo (not an ATO) analyzes ATO and crushes the myths surrounding our house. The following is an excerpt from the original article titled “The Team Fans Love to Hate Just Rolls On.” “Mike Royko, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist, recently wrote a column concerning one of the oldest traditions in baseball – hating the New York Yankees. This state of mind arises from jealousy of the Yankees’ winning ways. At Illinois, there is a similar tradition in intramural circles: Hating Alpha Tau Omega. Most people that hate Taus do so because they too have winning teams. Recently Taus were champions in Fraternity Blue football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, track, water polo and racquetball. In the All-University League, they were champions in football and B-League basketball. They even had champions in co-rec sports which found them No. 1 in basketball and water basketball. Year after year, Taus chalk up championship after championship while hundreds of other teams watch trophies being carried to 1101 W. Pennsylvania Ave… …There is usually a large throng of female followers at most of their important games, many of whom have the ATO letters sewn on the seat of their pants. The appearance of these girls gives rival teams another reason to despise the men in gold and blue… Jealousy has inspired many fantastic rumors about life at Alpha Tau Omega.
