Administrators, trustees and representatives of the faculty agreed the increase should be greater, but said that under the circumstances it's the best that could be provided.

Chancellor Richard Puffer, who told the faculty earlier this summer that he would recommend salaries be frozen because of a tight budget, told the board he was pleased to change his mind. Two things happened to bring in the money for the higher salaries: Black Hawk received $248,000 more than expected in state funding. Fall enrollment is up 4 percent at the Quad-Cities Campus and 7 percent at the East Campus in Kewanee, I1L, which means tuition revenue could increase $100,000 over projections if the trend continues. Faculty members were relieved with the plan, which is acceptable under the circumstances, Dale Loff, president of the Quad-Cities Campus faculty sen- ate, said. Yii were qeiS asf is' Cemetery.

Mrs. Hall died Thursday at the center. Downs trainer suspended Horse trainer James Wil-kerson has been suspended for the year by Quad-City Downs racing stewards in a ruling made public Tuesday. David Hooper, executive secretary of the Illinois Rac- ing Board, said the stewards ruled that Wilkerson should be suspended from racing in Illinois for the rest of 1983, and be ineligible for licensing as a trainer in 1984. The ruling would stop Wilkerson from racing in Illinois until at least 1985, Hooper said.

The trainer still has the right to appeal the stewards' decision to the Illinois Racing Board, Hooper said. Wilkerson was called before the stewards after three instances of positive post-race drug test results were reported, two at Balmoral Racetrack near Chicago and one at the Downs in East Moline. Officials identified the drug as ethacrynic acid, similar to diuretic lasix. Hooper said hearings are pending for Jeff Lathrup, a trainer from Palos Hills. A continuance was granted in Lathrup's case until he has a referee sample from the post-race results tested by an independent laboratory, Hooper said.

(AP) Three children whose hearts and breathing had stopped as smoke filled their burning home were in critical condition Tuesday after being revived by emergency crews who pulled them and their father from the fire. hj Witnesses said firefighters gave the children car- dio-pulmonary resuscitation, blowing air into their lungs and pressing their chests to force their blood to flow.

"They were banging them and screaming, 'Come to, Jimmy. Come to, The firemen were fantastic," said one witness, Elsie Seif. Fire Chief William Glenn said an investigation showed the blaze apparently started around 6 a.m. when a towel left on a stove was ignited by the heat from a pilot light, and flames spread to nearby plastic curtains. The children were identified as Tina Bischoff, 5, and her step-brothers, James O'Brien, 9, and Blance O'Brien, 7, said Howard Berger, a spokesman for the Atlantic City Medical Center.

Hospital officials listed the youngsters in critical condition, and said they had suffered severe smoke in-. halation. "They had cardiac arrest as a result of no oxygen in their systems," Berger said. "They're alive, but in critical condition." "The original report we had was they had no pulse. They were clinically dead," Berger said.

"The nursing supervisor said the firemen and ambulance squad saved their lives." The father, Raymond Bischoff, 28, also was listed in critical condition, according to Berger. Kemp said that when firefighters arrived, flames were shooting out of one side of the row house and dense black smoke billowed into the dawn sky.
