"Two or three mornings a week, I would have to call because his bus was late," said Brenda Quigley, James' aunt and foster mother. "He was the first to be picked up, but there were a lot of mornings, it wasn't until 9:30 that the bus came. A lot of mornings, he didn't get to school until 10 or 10:30." Children who use the bus service are told to be ready by 7:30 a.m., and the buses are supposed to be at school at 8:30 a.m. The first class of the day, Maloney said, is usually the most important one, reading. "If you miss reading every day," he said, "what the hell can we do?" School is of vital importance to James who, because of abuse in his early years, is emotionally handicapped and three years behind in his psychological development, Quigley said.

"The people at Children's Memorial Hospital say he will be able to catch up, but it will take three or four years," she said. Despite his difficulties getting to school, James got As and Bs at Falconer, his foster mother said. "His teacher thought he should go to summer school because he has a short memory span so he wouldn't forget what he learned at Falconer," she said. "It was a lot of work until he felt positive about summer school. He thought he was being punished.

"He's eager to learn and eager to please. He gets upset when he can't progress like the other kids are doing." But after the Willett Inc. bus failed to come on Tuesday or Wednesday, James asked his foster mother why he had to go through the bother of getting ready For school. As it was, he got to school 2'j hours late Thursday and 1 lh hours late on Friday. "I work for a service company," Quigley said.

"If we provided service like this, we'd be out of business. They tell me Willett is the Cadillac of the bus company lines. Well, I'd hate to see the Volkswagen line." Ray Shawski, a Willett official, said: "We've been told to pick up the maximum number of children per bus. We're doing the very best we can under very trying circumstances."

Poverty level was annual income under $7,41 3 for family of four. Continued from page 1 lion to provide 500 buses to transport about 10,000 students. This year, because of budget cuts following the 19-day teachers strike in the fall, only $475,000 was available. That meant, Gaines said, that just 200 buses could be hired to move the same number of youngsters, nearly all of whom attend special education classes. She characterized a 3 '2-hour bus ride to school as "ex-tremelylong," but contended that it was one of the unfortunate results of trying to transport so many children for so little money.

"It's really not fair," said Mary Usher, principal of the Blair Special Education School, 6751 W. 63d which also had bus problems this week. "These kids need all the help they can get." Gaines said only 20 percent of the children who had signed up for summer school bus service used it last week. She speculated that most of the missing children had simply decided not to attend summer school. As a result, Gaines is planning to reduce the number of buses even further by dropping children who didn't use the service during the first week.

"If we're able to cut out a lot of the stops, we'll be able to route them better," she said. But Cynthia Wnek, the principal at Schubert School, 2727 N. Long said her 17 teachers had called the parents of her school's missing children. "Eighty percent of them said it's because of the bus service," Wnek said. "The parents are saying, 'We can't leave our kids sitting on our Bus problems in the Chicago public schools aren't new, they and aren't limited to the summer months.

"This is the largest single budget item we have, but, if you were to ask me what my greatest problem was this year, it was the bus problem," Malohey said. "Honestly, I have given kids carfare out of my pocket because I didn't know what else to do. "This year was the worst it's ever been." A Tribune examination of the bus program last month found that some bus firms routinely charge the school system for nonexistent services, and that, during the school year when 43,000 regular and special education children are transported, many buses arrive at school late or not at all. Bus problems aren't new for Architects Continued from page 1 area, even though the 1922 competition for Tribune Tower, which drew an international field of 258 entries, was the most famous American architectural competition. Experts attribute that to the Chicago tradition of local power brokers bestowing commissions on stables of favored architects.

Chicago "has always had a wealth of good firms to choose from, so it didn't always think that the way to get a good architectural firm most efficiently was to get into the competition process," says Roy Solfisburg, a partner in the Chicago architectural firm of Holabird Root and the chairman of an American Institute of Architects group on competitions. The competition for the Chicago central library, which was won last month by a team headed by Chicago architect Thomas Beeby and Chicago-based developer U.S. Equities Realty is an example of how traditional practices have begun to change. Instead of tapping a politically well-connected Chicago architect, city officials issued an international call for entries and said they hoped that hundreds of teams of architects, developers and contractors would participate. As it turned out, only five teams submitted proposals for the $140 million library, which is to open in the South Loop in mid-1991.

But local architects still say that the competition represented an important departure for Chicago. "It's always been an old-boy net-' work," says Chicago architect Laurence Booth, a partner in Booth-Hanscn Architects. "I don't think any Chicago public building Timothy V. Hobock, 21. 2S N.

Edgewater Blacks abuse in Illinois increased by 19 percent from 1982 to 1986, and by 30 percent from 1986 to 1987. Other forms of domestic violence in Illinois affected close to 300,000 people in 1986, and took 200 lives. Health care: Rising costs and the closing of inner-city hospitals are combining to push medical care beyond the reach of the poor. One in 10 Chicago families is going without medical care, while the average waiting period for a patient trying to visit at Cook County Hospital's outpatient clinic has reached nine months. The almost-poor, those not covered by Medicaid, find it ever more difficult to obtain health insurance.

An estimated 1 3 percent of the labor force, many part-time or self-employed, have no health insurance. The spread of acquired immune deficiency syndrome will soon overload inner-city health systems as intravenous drug abuse among blacks and Hispanics becomes the prime mode of transmission. By 1991, it will become the leading cause of death among younger adults here. With the average public cost for treating each AIDS case already at $3,323, "the public burden for these expenses can be expected to grow." Chicago's infant mortality rate is one of the highest in the nation, with the nonwhite mortality rate double that of the white rate. Rates arc highest among the children of poor, adolescent minority women, a group that isn't being reached adequately by programs in sex education, family planning, or pre- and post-natal nutrition.

Housing: There is an afforable housing crisis in Chicago the combined product of poverty and the drastic ongoing loss of inner-city housing units to abandonment and demolition. Chicago has narrowed the gap between demolitions and new housing starts, but most new construction is for middle- and upper-income buyers and renters. The city's stock of 74,000 publicly owned or subsidized housing units is in jeopardy. Fed up with crime and bad maintenance, Chicago Housing Authority tenants are walking away from that agency's 40,000 units at the rate of 100 per month. Meanwhile, 20-year-old mortgage contracts between the federal government and owners of low-income housing are about to expire or go up for renewal.

Owners of as many as 9,000 subsidized units in Chicago may opt out of government controls and not renew poor tenants' leases. They then could remarket their buildings to the more affluent. report Satvadore Rtoa, 20, 10 W. Pteaeant, BeosenvWe. disorderly oonduct-breach of peaoe, 0-14-00 Jeffery 8.

But some party leaders say Moran again has offended Du Page Republicans by giving away a Du Page seat on the 2d District Illinois Appellate Court in Elgin. Moran last week appointed Kane County Judge Marvin Dunn of Geneva to replace Justice William V. Hopf of Wheaton on the appellate court bench. Hopf, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, is retiring effective Sunday.

Dunn has been working for the last year on assignment at the appellate court. "That seat is definitely not going back to us unless one of our guys a Du Page judge wants to make a fight out of it when Dunn has to run for election," Durante said. Dunn has to seek election in 1990 to the remaining four years of Hopf term. While Du Page GOP leaders had been counting on having three of the seven appellate court seats held by Du Page judges, Moran's appointment of Dunn maintains a geographical distribution on the Elgin court. The appellate court seats currently are divided so that two seats are held by Du Page judges, two by Winnebago County (judges, and one each by Lake, McHenry and Kane County judges.

The same distribution will exist after the November election when McClarcn is expected to be elected to the appellate body. Mark P. Fotterud, 21, 831 Crane Dr. 106. DeKarb, aauuft, 6-17-88 Dwrm K.

The age shift "raises issues of generational equity," meaning that in years ahead "consensus may become more difficult to achieve. Employment and poverty: "A dramatic concentration of poverty" has occurred in several minority neighborhoods. Poverty is a fact of life for 11 percent of whites, 32 percent of blacks, and 24 percent of Hispanics in Chicago.

Three-quarters of the city's 279 predominantly black census tracts have poverty rates above 20 percent, a level reached by only six predominantly white tracts. The unemployment rate among minorities here is double that for whites, and among nonwhite teenagers it has ranged above 50 percent for much of the 1980s. Local and national economic trends are working against unemployed blacks and Hispanics. Chicago has been slow to recover from the recession of the early 1980s, and a large portion of its manufacturing sector cannot be expected to recover at all. Most new jobs are coming from the service, financial, and high-tech sectors, but better positions in those areas require far more education than was required in the manufacturing sector.

"At a time when most new jobs require basic skills, the Chicago public schools are producing large numbers of young people who either fail to graduate from high school or are barely literate." In 1980, one in five city residents received public assistance, but by 1985 some 717,000 people, or one in four, received welfare benefits. The average welfare payment, however, has not kept pace with inflation, having lost almost half of its purchasing power since 1970. Family life: Family life is disintegrating among the city's poor, amid epidemic levels of teenage pregnancy, absentee fathers and child abuse. Nearly half the city's black children live with only their mothers, and nearly 70 percent of black children are born to unmarried mothers. Statewide, half of all children have mothers who work outside the home, creating an enormous demand for day care services that, in poor neighborhoods, goes largely unmet.

In 1985, city demand for day care services for 3 to 5 year olds exceeded supply by 39,300 slots.

"They're spending the money. The teachers are here, but the kids aren't here," said Wnek. "If you're not here, you're not being educated. That's the bottom line. The bus with the worst record was Route 1, the one James was assigned to.

"The parents are in an uproar, and I can't blame them, said Hattic Price, who, as welfare at- veiled, Naperville City Council members, who acted as the jury for the competition, said that all of them fell short. The winning entry, a sleek design by Chicago architects Fujikawa, Johnson Associates, "will be testimony to mediocrity in our community," Napervillc Councilman Toby Hayer said at a recent council meeting during which the architects discussed revising their plans. Critics say that such problems illustrate one of the pitfalls of competitions, the potential for them to degenerate into stylistic showdowns that produce lots of publicity, but not buildings tailored to the needs of people who use them. "It's a substitute for the process of getting a short list of architects who are doing the type of building you're interested in and interviewing them," says Jane Lucas, executive director of the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Architects. For architects, competitions are attractive for many reasons, even though most architects spend scores of hours and hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on losing entries.

For young designers, competitions offer a chance to emerge from obscurity and to compete on even terms with older members of the profession. For more established firms, competitions present the opportunity to experiment with new ideas and gain new business. Still, the opportunity does not come cheap. In the Naperville competition, the city paid each architect $10,000 to cover expenses. But Doug Johnson, a vice president at Fujikawa, Johnson Associates, said producing models, drawings and other materials for the competition cost his firm about $40,000.

The proposed competition for the Evanston public library, which still must be approved by the suburb's City Council, is a move in the same direction, although Evanston would require only architects not teams of architects, developers, and contractors to compete for the right to design its new library. Constructed in 1960, Evanston's library is so crowded that one of every five items in its collection is in storage.

To replace the facility, officials want to construct a structure that would cost anywhere from $15 million to $18 million. But rather than turning to a small group of architects with experience in library design, the Evanston library board seized on the idea of an architectural competition. A competition would project an image of "impartiality and objectivity" because architectural experts, rather than city officials, would comprise the majority of the competition jury, said Richard Lanyon of the Evanston library board. In addition, Donald E. Wright, director of the library, said that a competition would cost Evanston about $110,000 about $40,000 less than the city would have to pay an architect for services comparable to those performed by architects in the competition.

It sounds like a city manager's dream, but not all competitions have produced great buildings, or satisfied clients. Last fall, for example, officials in west suburban Napervillc invited six Chicago-area architectural firms to compete to design a City Hall that is currently estimated to cost at least $14.3 million.
