Superconducting Super Collider energy race in Iowa focus
The SSC proposal costs about 4.4 billion dollars and prompts competition among states. Iowa shifts support to the Illinois Batavia site near Fermilab, while ISU and University of Iowa researchers prepare to deepen work in high energy physics and LEP collaboration.

Iowa juvenile institutions neglected say lawmakers
Iowa lawmakers urge repairs at Eldora and Toledo juvenile facilities citing unsafe staff ratios and aging buildings. Reports call for 60 more youth workers at Eldora and 24 at Toledo plus about 16 million dollars for Eldora upgrades and 520 thousand for Toledo staffing. Overcrowding persists at both sites.

Iowa's first woman professor joins laser research team
Susan Allen, recruited from USC, becomes the University of Iowa's first female chemistry professor and leads laser microfabrication work. She aims to build a Laser Microfabrication Facility as part of a new $25.1 million Iowa Center for Laser Science and Engineering. Allen says lasers are valuable as tools and that the field will expand over the next decades.
