Fairy Ring Appears on Iowa State Campus for Tenth Year
Local belief holds fairies dance within a huge mushroom ring on the central campus this summer marking a decade of sightings. Botanists attribute the ring to spore spread from prior years with the largest patch about 15 feet across and mushrooms four to nine inches wide. Poisonous classification by Dr. S M Dietz noted the ring's effect on nearby grass which grows darker due to added nitrogen. Inside the circle sit two home economics students Carolyn White and Marguerite Heusinkveld.

Tr D Beach of the FBI told delegates at the fifth annual state peace officers short course in Iowa City that there has been gross exaggeration about sabotage in the United States. He noted many recent fires and explosions could not be blamed on saboteurs and warned the public remains overly suspicious of industrial accidents.
