The Iowa legislature ended a 181 day session, the third longest in history, by facing a record tuition hike approved by the Board of Regents. Tuition rose to 620 for the University of Northern Iowa with increases across Iowa State and Northern Iowa.

A sweeping legislative roundup notes reapportionment will shrink the House to 100 and the Senate to 19 districts. It covers bills passed on tuition grants, bonds for colleges, $227 million in state aid, security officers, tax changes, and meat industry standards. It also previews potential 1970 topics including voting age, taxes, and public employee negotiations, plus a transportation study urging a state Department of Transportation. A Cape Coral tour report follows with local travelers from Des Moines.
