— Do Illinois’ public colleges pay off for students? – GREG HINZ  (DIERSEN: I graduated from NIU in 1970. According to this article, 43% of UIC students drop out and 47% of NIU students drop out. Of course, needless-to-say, while I attended Crete-Monee High School (CMHS) 1962-1966, UIC 1966-1968, and NIU 1969-1970, my critics/opponents predicted that I would drop out. They cited my parents never attending college, my father being the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attending high school, my just barely making it into the upper 20% of my 1966 CMHS class, my ACT being only 24, my spending my junior and senior years washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights, and my working for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969.)
