Consultants from Economics Research Associates estimated $6.3 million to modernize or $35.5 million with outside participation, noting higher risk but greater national impact.
A proposal to fund a second state tax supported medical college, possibly in Des Moines, was advanced but no formal action taken. Regents heard expert opinion from Dr. Robert Hardin who argued the move would not materially improve Iowa medical care while Iowa's expansion plans for the University of Iowa College of Medicine proceed. The regents approved a Cedar Falls education center plan costing $5 million and noted a pilot program at Iowa State University enrolling seventeen black students from Des Moines and Chicago to broaden access. The town's work release program for inmates, praised as a big step forward, allows self support and job seeking outside confinement. in the past year 69 inmates worked, 12 violations, 53 earned over $38,000, sent $4,000 to dependents, and saved nearly $14,000.
The state will obtain a federal grant of 623000 to train 700 welfare recipients. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz noted Iowa is among eight states in the program, which has a total cost of 27 million.
