Iowa Student Voting In Campus Town Affects Local Bond Vote
Iowa City rejected a 600000 school bond for swimming pools with only 4775 voters from 5 000 eligible University of Iowa students and local residents. Four thousand three hundred eighty six voted no and one thousand two hundred sixty nine yes, showing student bloc voting was negligible. The CBS post election study showed 47 percent of 18 to 24 year olds voted nationally while 60 percent of older voters did. Iowa’s approach to voting by students appears to work so far.

Buck Stops at White House Not Paris
The Paris peace talks hinge on Nixon decisions not Kissinger. Thieu demands Saigon's terms and may stall or reject a separate peace. Washington signals a separate peace option, but Saigon has resisted. The outcome rests in the White House, where Nixon must decide by a date or risk no settlement.
