The state board of regents says annual capital needs of 5.5 million dollars are required for the University of Iowa, Iowa State College, and Iowa State Teachers College to handle rising enrollments. By 1970 enrollments could top 38,500 with present levels around 21,000. The board urges abandoning pay as you go in favor of a borrowing plan to fund a long range program. The note also covers tax installments, social welfare increases for nursing home care, and the ISEA push for higher state aid to schools including a uniform county tax and an equalization fund.
