The University Police Department is still trying to contact a group of students who were on campus the night Bill Feltt, an English instructor, was assaulted.

Adam Due, chief public safety officer, said some people from the group have been identified and contacted.

They are not students at Eastern, and they also are not suspects in the case.

He also said none of the contacted visitors were from Champaign, despite help in locating them from the Champaign Police Department.

No new leads have come up in the case, and police are still encouraging anyone with information about the beating to contact them.

A reward of $2,500 has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any of Feltt’s attackers.

Feltt was assaulted by six to eight white males in their 20s at 1:50 a.m. Aug. 27 on the southwest side of Martin Luther King Jr University Union.

Feltt was admitted to Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center on Aug. 27, treated for bruises and released Sept.2.

However, new symptoms put him back in Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes, Ind. on Sept. 3 where he was treated for a skull fracture, sinus infection and a small brain hemorrhage.

He was released from Good Samaritan Hospital on Thursday, Sept. 12.

Neither Feltt nor his family and friends could be contacted about his present condition Monday.
