Director's Welcome University of Illinois The Center History ... Contact Information Welcome Letter from the Director Established in 1970, the Center for African Studies at the University of Illinois is one of the leading African studies programs in the United States. As a Title VI National Resource Center, the Center is committed to providing comprehensive and excellent educational opportunities. Its activities and programs, briefly described in this booklet, are a testimony to the strength and vibrancy of African studies on this campus. Paul Tiyambe Zeleza The Center has an outstanding Africana library collection, a wide range of course offerings, including regular instruction in six African languages, and an interdisciplinary Master of Arts degree program. The size and quality of its faculty is impressive, as is its outreach program within Urbana-Champaign, the state of Illinois, the Midwest region, and nationally. Over the years, mutually beneficial linkages have been established with numerous African universities and independent research institutions. The Center is also known for its dynamic extracurricular programming, including seminars and conferences, as well as innovative, multi-disciplinary research projects. The Center is appreciative of its many sources of support, including the federal government, the foundations, and of course the University of Illinois. Fortified by the intellectual and institutional assets that have been accumulated over the last three decades, we look forward to meeting the various challenges facing area studies in general and African studies in particular. We are confident in our creative capacities to move in new, exciting directions to meet our triple mission of research, teaching, and public service.

U.S. Department of Energy Issued on November 1, 1999 3-D Modeling of Mt. Simon Gas Storage Fields Could Enhance Winter Gas Availability from the Illinois Basin Read more about DOE's natural gas A two-year research study partnership between the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS), natural gas storage companies and the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Technology Center will develop 3-dimensional computer models for natural gas storage wells in the Mt. Simon Gas Storage Fields in the Illinois Basin. Underground, water-filled sand/sandstone aquifers in the Mt. Simon area in Northern Illinois are used extensively to store natural gas for peak seasonal usage in the Midwest. In Illinois alone, the Mt. Simon formations hold 60% of the total gas storage inventory, an important supply for peak winter deliveries for northern Illinois cities, particularly Chicago. Illinois is ranked fourth in the nation in natural gas storage with between 1.2 and 1.6 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas in storage. It has 600 billion cubic feet (bcf) of working gas. That is the gas stored in reservoirs for use in the winter months. The remainder is cushion gas, which stays in the reservoir year round. The physical structure of the Mt. Simon reservoirs, however, is geologically complex, making it difficult to predict their performance as natural gas suppliers.

What Is The U.S. Geological Survey? mitigating public hazards associated with floods and droughts; defining the hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics needed for the design and operation of engineering projects (such as dams, levees, pumping stations); defining the hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics for placement, design, and construction of water wells; and addressing water-quality and environmental issues. U. S. Geological Survey in Illinois The Water Resources Division operates a District Headquarters Office in Urbana, a subdistrict office in De Kalb, and a field office in Mt. Vernon. These offices collect and analyze hydrologic data, as well as conduct interpretive studies concerning a wide range of water-resource issues in Illinois. The other USGS divisions (Mapping, Geologic, and Biologic), are also at work in Illinois performing studies of coastal erosion; determining the risk from earthquakes, landslides, and other natural hazards; making and updating maps; and performing biological assessments-although, no offices of these divisions are physically located in the State. Data-Collection Efforts Interpretive Projects In addition to collecting streamflow data, the USGS has conducted numerous interpretive studies to define and characterize hydrologic and hydraulic problems in Illinois. The following are examples of these types of studies:

Washington By TOM LITTLEWOOD Intergovernmental Personnel Act: Unions want a share of training grants WHEN amendments to the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) were before the House of Representatives in 1975, Rep. Wayne Hays (D., Ohio) dismissed the program as just "an opportunity for state bureaucrats to get together with federal bureaucrats and exchange ideas on how not to do anything at all." As it later turned out, the grouchy chairman of the House Administration Committee had somewhat more advanced notions about public personnel management. The act that was passed in 1970 provided direct federal grants to help state and local governments improve their personnel systems. Matching funds were to be made available for various training and management projects; for the temporary assignment of federal employees to other government agencies; and to support graduate study in the form of government service fellowships. After the first three years, the 75 percent federal share was lowered to 50 per cent. Funds were used to prepare Spanish language training manuals in Chicago and to conduct job classification and compensation studies in other Illinois cities and villages. About 400 federal workers were transferred to state and local jobs in Illinois, including the Walker administration's Environmental Protection Agency director, whose salary was paid out of federal funds.

By STANLEY A. CHANGNON, JR. Head of the Atmospheric Sciences Section of the Illinois State Water Survey, where he has been a research scientist for 20 years, Changnon is a Councilor and Fellow of the American Meteorological Society and president-elect of the Weather Modification Association. Changing the weather: Implications for Illinois In a state where farming is a basic industry, people in the country watch the skies anxiously. The State Water Survey thinks something can be done about the weather. Illinois' model weather modification law is a basic step toward controlled experimentation ILLINOIS weather can be changed—at least to some extent. Rainfall can be increased and hailstorms can be partially suppressed. A weather modification statute, proposed by the Illinois State Water Survey, has been in force for almost two years. The techniques of weather modification have not been completely refined, but as the General Assembly has officially stated, weather modification "is subject to regulation and control in the public interest." Increased rainfall at the proper time and prevention of crop-damaging hail offer obvious benefits to farmers who raise corn, soybeans, and wheat. But the Illinois State Water Survey did not press for legislation until the staff had assessed the economic implications, ecological impacts, and social attitudes toward weather modification for the state generally. Legislation was deemed a prime requirement, not only for the proper execution of scientific experiments on weather modification in the state, but to protect Illinois citizens from improperly conducted weather modification operations.

The impact of Congress’ decision will be felt throughout the United States—from coast to coast, in every state, in cities large and small, by businesses of virtually every size and type. These businesses depend substantially on access to international markets for their growth and viability, and have the potential to prosper greatly, with benefits to employees and citizens alike, if Congress allows them full access to China’s enormous market.
