Waste of talent haunts former University of Iowa leader
Pepe Rojas-Cardona rose to prominence as University of Iowa student senate president in 1989. His career later found him charged with overspending, forgery, and theft linked to past student government actions and a failed telemarketing venture. A New Mexico arrest for possession with intent to distribute followed, while fellow former senator Mark Havlicek noted his early potential. Public meetings in Iowa City and Johnson County are listed this week.

University of Iowa bicycle plan seeks campus wide upgrades
A consultant report for the University of Iowa outlines steps to improve biking on Newton Road and to lobby Iowa City for Riverside Drive Iowa Avenue and Melrose Avenue. It calls for upgraded bike racks at Pentacrest Phillips Hall Lindquist Center and Engineering Building with similar upgrades at Iowa Memorial Union and other buildings. It proposes sheltered bike parking at six locations and four locker rental areas, and registering bikes through the university rather than city programs. The plan would empower the Parking and Transportation Office to oversee biking matters, raise fees for parking bicycle registrations and lockers to fund a new bicycle coordinator and boost pedestrian safety enforcement. It suggests impounding bikes that block ramps or damage property and allows locking to parking meters to encourage Iowa City adoption. A public meeting on Tuesday 7 p.m. in Phillips Hall Room 100 will discuss the plan with comments due by March 1 to Larry Wilson.
