Tuition Ruling Could Hit VA With Nearly a Million
Iowa Education Board, backed by the attorney general, plans to bill the Veterans Administration at nonresident rates for GI Bill tuition for Iowa veterans. About 10 000 veterans are enrolled across the University of Iowa Iowa State College and Iowa State Teachers College during 1945 46. The VA would pay up to 500 annually, with the state billing the government for the difference between resident and higher rates, potentially totaling around 900 000. Beginning second quarter cost-of-instruction rates would apply, higher than nonresident charges, a practice already used by other schools. The VA had argued veterans should be charged resident rates when studying in their home state.

New Generator To Bombard Atoms On Iowa Campus
Prof James A Jacobs head of the University of Iowa physics department says a new electro static generator will soon operate to bombard target atoms. A 45-foot airtight tank houses an insulated electrode with canvas belts delivering static charges to create six million volts to force ions through a vacuum tube at atoms. Ions strike nuclei with enough force to knock particles loose, potentially forming a new element and releasing vast energy. Research aims to observe bombardment reactions and factors like X rays gamma rays alpha particles and their directions.
