Lt. George Wise, chief investigator with the department, said Tuesday that although further tests will be made on the bone, several doctors in4 the Taylorville area have said it "is definitely that of a human." Wise said members of the sheriff's department have combed the area where it was found and have come up with nothing. "We don't have any idea where it came from," Wise said. The bone found was part of an arm, with a steel or metal plate attached to it. Wise said that the plate was marked with some kind of patent or identification numbers, but so far they haven't found a way to trace the plate.

Wise also said the bone was found near two cemeteries and one theory was that the bone might have dragged from a grave by an animal. But a check of both local cemeteries indicated that the graves had not been tampered with in any way. Wise said the bone was rather weather-beaten and that it would be taken to a museum to determine its age.

Although it is harmless to humans, an adult mantis gobbles up flies, boll weevils, locusts, 'crickets, wasps, beetles, and grasshoppers. In addition the female often devours the male after mating, says Geographic. Because of its dining habits, it has gained a new popularity among gardeners as nature's answer to pesticides. While stalking its victim, the insect waits patiently with its long forelegs raised, ready to strike. This "prayerful" posture gave it its name.

One amendment 'added $144,000 to the Board of Governors allocation for pre-medical education programs at the Chicago State University. Another amendment added $58,000 to the of I budget for a similar program. The of I was also given $126,000 for a program dealing with cystic fibrosis. The of I appropriation is now about $267.8 million. Higher education retirement funds and rental payment to the Illinois Building Authority have been transferred to other appropriation bills.

An amendment to the of I bill to rescind the tuition increase approved for next fall by the Board of Trustees was beaten by the committee 21-5. Offered by Rep. John Lauer, R-Lincoln, the amendment got the backing of area Reps. Helen Satterthwaite, D-Cham-paign, and Birchler. However, it was opposed by a number of other area legislators, among them Reps.

Richard Brummer, D-Eff-ingham, Virgil Wikoff, R-Champaign, John Dunn, D-Decatur, and Harold Byers, D-Highland, who had urged adoption of higher tuitions last Lauer said higher tuitions would affect students from middle income families more than, those from low income or wealthy families. "I think when you put them all together (tuition and fees) they're much lower than in neithboring states or the rest of the country," said Byers. 1 personally don't know of any students who want to go to college who "can't find the wherewithal." The committee also rejected another amendment allowing another half-per cent pay raise for Board of Governors employes beyond what has already been agreed to. Pay raises currently provided in the bills total 5'2 per cent fcr most employes with another 2 per cent for those in the lowest pay ranges: The sponsor of the amendment, Rep. Sam McGrew, D-Galesburg, argued that Board cf Governors employes currently get much less than those at the of I.

"I don't have to remind the members that if this passes, we will wind up in a big floor fight with the of said Rep. Peter Peters, R-Chicago, the minority spokesman on the committee. The vote was 14-10 against the amendment. 'Nominee Approves Civil Disobedience Springfield (AP) A Senate committee has endorsed Gov. James Thompson's nominee to the Illinois Board of Education despite some tough questioning by a Republican about his stand on eacher strikes.

Four Republicans and two Democrats opposed the nomination of Hugh R. Brown on grounds that he accepts the right of teachers to strike. Brown, 61, of Evanston, a long-time business teacher at New Trier High School and just-retired member of the Illinois Education Association (TEA), and four other persons were nominated by Thompson to fill vacancies on the 17-member pa'nel. The board sets state educational policy, and can withhold state or federal funds to school districts which violate its regulations. A governor's nominations ordinarily are supported by members of his party.

Thompson is a Republican. usually go along with the governor, but you amaze me sir, you amaze me." Sen. James E. Soper, R-Cicero. said Tuesday 'after several minutes of questioning Brown for his opinion on teacher strips.

Soper at one point asked Brown whether he thought teachers have the right to strike, "notwithstanding the law." "Yes," Brown replied. But he said he would not advocate such action. "I would say a teacher has the right." Brown said he thinks civil disobedience at times is a necessary right. But be said he thought teachers should go back to the classrooms once a court injunction against a walkout has been obtained. "I think at that particular time a teacher would be required to return." he said.

"I think they should go back to work."

Joe Lucco, D-Edwardsville, and Bruce Richmond, D-Murphysboro temporarily away from the room, it took longer to find a temporary sponsor than to make the motion and shuffle the bill off to the floor. Rep. Vincent Birchler, R-Chester. a member of the committee, finally "took" the bill, and it was moved out of committee before SIU officials had a chance to get settled at the witness table.

"When Clyde has a friend in control, bills can move," Rep. Thomas Hanahan, D-McHenry, laughed after the meeting. Former House Minority Leader Clyde Choate of Anna, now a lobbyist for the university, laughed along with most others in the room as the SIU bill moved out in record time for any major appropra-tion bill.
